1988 Superliner E9 Over Presurized Radiator?
fjh replied to mpnichols's topic in Engine and Transmission
Thanx for posting your fix! -
I Third It. Stability! Get Camel back if you can find it!

Have to agree! An old Bob Serger song comes to mind! Take them old pistons off the shelf put em back in there by yourself todays pistons anit got the same soul! So put em back in there respective holes. You get the drift!
-
Are you possitive the piston coolers are aimed correctly!the coolers got to hit the piston correctly or they can over heat!We have cooler targets to check em after liner install. the spray for the cooler needs to head basicly straight up from the nossle hitting 5 or 7 oclock on the piston, stick a welding rod in it and see where its heading! as you said the injector spray looks fine

Electrics are not that bad till 2004 You will find very few options out there non electric. pre 93 best option. This will be an eteck engine electronic not a bad unit depending on its treatment.If you looking at it and it is a dump truck Run the other way. this model is a street machine not a work truck.you will be looking to a pre 94 maybe to get any thing non electric 300 or less hp , You need to be looking at 96 or better CL 713 427 or 460 hp electric but the second best dumper around in my opinion!THE first best being an RD pre 90s 350 or 400 6 cyl.

Have you checked the oil in the trans lately!Is it over full ?These trucks have a trakck record of oil cooler failures!
-
The splines go where ever! the timing is done from the cover on the front of the engine.Remove the frontcover there are 4 bolts holding a gear!Remove those bolts carfully not to drop the washers, remove the gear turn the engine to timing marks on the flywheel and set on the correct mark for that engine . Then Please post a picture of the fuel pump we will be able to guide you better once we have this!Your speach is fine.Pictures will help alot thou to guide you thru.

Seems like a lot of work for no gain ! Why would you do this?
-
Agreeded!
-
Hope he got it cheap! Mack Hada rash of bad Cam s at times with these!You say there smashed or are they pitted and to hell ,the rollers go flat some times If the rollers are smashed as you say then the engine has likly been over sped and I would be looking at valves and bent push tubes yada yada! Look at the piston tops for witnesss marks.

12 Speed Kicking My A#! - Wont Shift Smoothly.....
fjh replied to linrick1's topic in Engine and Transmission
Very Common complaint! Well Rick if you do master this you will be the third or fouth guy on the planet to do so.I know of only one guy where I'm living that mastered IT! I'm no truck driver but i found the only way to split between 4-5 is to split after you engage the next gear on the stick (5th ) first then split back down and that usually isn't real clean either. But good luck to ya ,let us know when ya getter down and maybe will throw a party somthing! Masteing a twelve speed is an art form. Guess what I'm saying is don't be to proud to grind once and awhile its just the way it is. -
I posted this in the origanal post you made but I will post it here as well it may or may not help! 128 013 7 SID Engine #1 injector cylinder #13 mechanical system not responding. The 3rd is 128 254 4 SID engine #1 controller #1 voltage below normal or shorted Injector pump is likly causeing this code and the related codes you have I'm not an otc user but the vmack lingo is simular .Note if you replace the injection pump you need to install new cal codes for the replacment pump if you cant do that with the otc machine you will have to take the cal code to a dealer for install!

The bolts are 12 point if the leak is on the rh side( sitting in the drivers seat) there is oil return holes that side ya need to pull that whole thing out clean and dri all the shims between that peice and the housing and apply a thin coat of silcone to both sides of each shim all the way around and re install.and tighten the hell out of them bolts!

Make sure that the clutch brake is working right before you start adjusting or youll endup doing it twice.

After your email I remembered this place pretty pricy http://www.idc-solut...mance.html#MACK ETEC etech performance power chip module As I said there are guys here running bigger injecters as well they may pipe up.
-
It will shut down!you have one minute to get off the road after the red light comes on!
-
Yup your right on that possiblity hk but My observation on that is that normaly happend on the back diff housing or one that has a torque rod to the frame. Very possible if the truck has torque rods.
-
Can you provide a picture? The power divider was resealed?Mack top load diffs have inside bolts that some times come loose!Then leak at where the diff bolts to the housing,Is this where your leak apears ? Near the large side cover lh side?
-
68 mentioned this before >BE Sure your not losing coolant! This is important!If its losing coolant ya need to check things closer.
-
Unfortunatly thats not a high volume item and minimum quantitys of ten which seems to be the way the stupid parts system is ,and the economy being the way it is ordering ten to get one for someone seems rather senceless ya gota see thee guys point.But he could have looked to see if another dealer had one for ya!
-
Let us know the out come!
-
Your main issure will likly be cooling!With an ally and 400 horse you may be pushing the limits of the rad!
-
Yup Good Call 68, and the other thing that will make it gooey is running too cold!180 or a bit better is best!
