    by pass the air comp and see if you get bubbles. also valve off heater loop. It could be a cylinder liner with a hole in the side of the liner or a cracked liner at the flange, is it pushing antifreeze out the overflow? does the exhxost smell of coolant? white stains on exh. manifold or turbo ?

    "BUSCH" to polish wheels, well I guess that's better than wasting "coors" LOL

    impressive failure never seen a water pump do that before without the truck being in a wreck. Did it throw a belt under another drive belt?

    it sounds like the buffer screw is set too loose. Set eng. low idle to 50 rpm less than spec. then turn buffer screw in until idle comes up 50 rpm then try truck should improve drivabilty a whole bunch

    any one have a good idea on pulling dry liners outta this engine? tried standard liner puller but no luck tried heating liner while pulling and drumming liner flange with air chisel still no luck I've heard of splitting them with a torch but only seen it done on the thin wall liners these are about .080 thick. would welcome a good idea besides pulling eng. and putting in big press

    lucky! not to many log truck wrecks around here are fixed with a new mirror and bracket our last one in nov. totaled a w900l even the trailer. the driver endowed it going up hill empty!! speed might have been a factor.

    some of the cross pins have a roll pin in them making it a real pain in the prostrate to get out you may have to wire brush the camel hump to find the roll pin and may have to drill it out. something about alum.steel salt and water. go figure!

    ECD I could give you 20 lbs then you'd have some to lose lol. this has been a good topic and I think we all have rethought what were eating, or at least the volume of food. best of luck to all!

    take the wire off at center rear of top tank this should turn off lite. then remove sender if no coolant on sw. is good if coolant is present change sender

    no I think that's the new tax schedule for each dollar earned. Obama wants 1.64 in taxes to go towards financial balance to narrow the "gap"

    old ceiling fans do wonders too since heat rises and gathers in the top of the air space any thing to push it back down and mix the air works great. another thing is if you have a big enough power supply a old electric furnace turned upside down mounted in the ceiling or just in the upper 1/3 of the building works good also

    gotta agree this summer was my first time on here and needed info in a hurry, as I was transplanting and interbreeding a e-9 450 to a e9-500 and found a few "glitches" that you guys helped me with. I appreciated very much as I don't live in a mack rich environment. so finding answers on the big boys wasn't easy around home but seamed to find them within hours on here. Now I cant seam to leave here,I really enjoy reading the posts and problems of the fellow man. thanks gearhead

    something amuck here 60,000 since in frame and fire rings are gone? also liners /head worn? is eng deck screwed? were heads not properly torqued? did they not resurface or replace heads at overhaul? id contact last owner and ask for some receipts so you can figure out what happened ,because if you cant put your finger on the problem you best get that truck to a trusted, warrantable shop or your wallet might get lighter yet that's my .02 worth
