Thank you Joey Mack, good to know. I see the reseal kits online show 3 of the hexagon shaped gaskets, does the middle gasket seal oil on one side of the cartridge when it gets sandwiched in the lower section? I suspect my oil leak is up top but if that doesn’t solve it I’m assuming I’ll need to dig into the lower section.

I ordered generic felts from a supplier and once I pressed them into the channel they pinched tight and glass is tough to move. I kinda rubbed some fuzz off with a razor blade and used some Vaseline on them to make it easier. I would have been in trouble if I had actually gotten power windows for it. They wouldn't have been able to move. I hung the new door shells on my truck in my tiny stall. Ya, it was a PITA. Did wait to install glass, so it was "easier". I hung them, aligned them, then drilled pilot hole in hinge so I could take them off and get them painted. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I did a 20k axle kingpin set today, and one aditional thought was after installing the new bushings in the spindle to check that the pin moves freely in the bore before installing on the truck.

Tks for the heads up,that’s what I was thinking.The new felts for the vent channels I have are a bit to loose am thinking of getting some double sided tape to hold them in place.I got the vent window in on passenger side,going to get door panel in tomorrow.The best part of all this is I have the cab on the ground,makes things a lot easier.Would be a real bitch to hang doors if cab was on truck.

I found a shop that’s making it for me for $2250 hopefully I will be able to get it this week.

If i remember right, they would get clogged and are not cleanable. I have changed out a few of them at Mack, but, since 8 years has gone by, combined with with dislike for the MP Engine, I erased some of my memory and used that space for older Mack engines...

Yes, be aware that the oring inside the filter housing is a bit smaller around then the one under the tube mount.

My local shop did my core for $1200. Bit smaller then your large version.

Vent window is in first. Then assembled door panel with glass rolled completely down. Once panel installed you can roll the glass up into channel in the vent window. My new felts for vent channel is too tight and windows are very hard to crank. Been loosing up over time but slowly.

Good to see you back Swishy. Always enjoy your videos! Love the pics of heavy stuff!

This∆∆∆∆∆ Could have a clutch brake on the quad box, could have 2" input and 9 spd could be smaller and shorter. Back box will be longer for quad over duplex which changes driveshaft. What reason are you wanting to change them? Is the quad a double overdrive?

Picture before cleaning it up.

Hi all, looking for some guidance of what I need to fix an oil leak at my oil cooler. I am not getting any coolant contamination, only an external leak. 2000 CH613 E7 460 with around 2m miles and 50k hrs i believe it’s leaking oil from both sides of the top 1” crossover pipe to the oil filter housing, and possibly both sides of the lower “log” section. Should oil be able to leak from the lower gaskets, or does that seal coolant? It’s hard pinpoint as the fan has blown oil all over everything. Only able to upload one photo. Am I correct in thinking I can remove only the upper section and reseal the oil side without draining the coolant and pulling the whole cooler? It’s always had a small oil leak in the 6 years I’ve owned it, but this sub zero weather this year seems to have opened it up much worse. Thank you for any insight.

Thank you! I will replace it and give a reply if that fixed it. Lamar

Probably the oil thermostat itself, they're a very common failure point. Part number should be 23871486, located in the oil filter housing. It's the horizontal one.

I'm surprised no one here has brought this up yet. Just as I was predicting, they are going to ruin the Granite now too. get ready for the new Mack VHD Mack is officially dead. Thanks Volvo.

Hello, I have 2015 Mack CXU613 that has a SPN 4813 FMI=3 code showing up occasionally. It says Engine oil thermostat bypass valve opening, voltage above normal or shorted to high source 70. If someone has experience or knowledge on how to repair this I'd appreciate a little feedback. Lamar

At the time, I applauded Cat for not giving in and selling us junk engines like every other emission motor is. But oddly enough, the SCR engines in the new Cat wheel loaders and excavators I'm operating work almost flawlessly. I don't get any of the codes. derates, failures that I CONSTANTLY had in my on road trucks. And they sit and idle for hours and hours every day. And they just run perfect and regen on their own with no drama.
