    yup spiders and a lock out are more sensible! More for giving when you got miss matched tires!

    sounds like the fuel is is being flung around I really suspect the transfer pump ! I highly doubt a plug would spray fuel like that it would have to be hand tight! that said anything can happen! put some more dye in the filter run it for a minute or two and then pull the transfer pump should be a defind trail of fuel running from the shaft area behind the gear if its fubar!

    My comments were made with not having to change the fuel line configuration in mind! if I remember on the v Mac pump the hub on the pump is not keyed to the shaft your mechanical pump is keyed! May make things a bit more of a hassle to time but should be doable! As long as the spring in the econovance is not broken and engine starts in the retarded position it should work fine once timed to 18-20 degrees fixed timing!

    I believe u need a different drive assembly! Just bolt the pump on either the vmac coupler don’t know if the e6 stuff will fit standard vs metric I believe!

    The econovance is held in retard by a spring! If you don’t have oil pressure to the econovance it will not advance! Just sayin! Cap off the oil feed and Simply set the timing at 19 or twenty and you’ll be useable whatever you find works good and leave things be! If you cap the line off it becomes redundant!

    I for got to mention that kw and most other manufacturers have gone to this style of mount there is no escaping stupid when purchasing a truck these days the engineers are all cut from the same fabric! 😡captivate is there main focus bringing you back to the dealership is important to there bottom line!

    I already posted my main thought due to the lack of clarity! Done till more is revealed! To much fuel in there to be much else unless they cut an oring on assembly!have seen the shaft seals blow out while priming!

    Fuel transfer pump is my first thought that’s a lot of fuel!

    Lock out the power divider if it has one! See if that changes the situation! no effort on your part!

    Yup all we can do is listen a wait for what he’s experiencing an see if we can lead him down the right path! My first thought was syncro however! Because of his symptoms!

    Yep seen that a few times Terry! We got to verify if this is a click or a chatter Or grinding sound ! Its kind of un clear at this point! We had a guy come in once that had a whining sound he could only hear while driving by a rock face or guard rails on the hyw ! Turned out both diffs were done the hard surface off most of the teeth on the top set in both! 4:17 and 4:42 ratios were bad for this! The problem with the mack diffs was they were designed around 300 or less Horse power!

    another thought also if you have a power divider lock out lock it in ! If you have un even tires can cause a click sound! If the click goes away you have your answer!

    Agre also check the rear yoke bolt on the transmission!
  19. fjh
    E7 if u can find them! They fit e6 /e7/e9

    Sounds like you had the right idea before I came along!😀 That’s a good thing! Have the guy disarm the smoke delay too that will be two things off the list! Some of these dudes are fussy about screwing with emissions so you may be doing that yourself!don’t be surprised!😡

    No ! Remove the cap on the front of the pump you will see an L sshaped rod if you can delicatly move that in and out the rack is free if not you should pull the pump and have a pump shop look at it! Don’t loose the sleave that the rack slides in it’s just sitting there it’s a guide for the rack! Be sure the stop is in the run position when you do this!
  22. fjh
    Is the arm on the fuel lever?is it pulled back to idle? Front is usually return
  23. fjh
    Just pull the little cap a run the Allen screw all the way in! You could try finding a longer one I guess!you can also pull the plug on the top and back the star wheel off to take the spring pressure off the diaphragm!

    Long as you have looked after the oil and coolant on most e 7 engines they last long time 27 to 35 thousand hours!

    Don't think Ambc was around at this point Joey! Linkage and throtle pedal will have you working a bit but Im sure youll get it converted!
