    Engine fan is staying locked ... solenoid tested good .I'm only getting 3.8 volts to solenoid connector and a/c high pressure switch. Fuse 41 on fire wall is good.any thoughts?
  2. R.E.D
    Sounds good , yet I would like to find a led replacement.

    Howdy fellas Can someone provide the part # or bulb style for the instrument cluster for the granite? The bulb is not removable from the bulb houlder.im attaching pics , the holder only says "wagner " and "10 j".

    This is on a 2004 Ami 370.i believe yours is different yet the principle is the same...Eup engines have a Cross drill passage from front to back of engine . remove plug in the front and test it with a pressure gauge.I believe it should be from 55 to 80 psi at idle.if lower than that replace pump... Pump is on passenger side in front...there should be a hand priming pump attached to it. RED

    Paul Ran the truck this morning on the same routes as before and I gotta tell ya it pulls way better than before .Uphill didn't have to down shift as I usually had to do.Also I'm not having to rev the truck past 1800 in order to shift smoothly , so that should improve mpg.next step is injectors and a flash since I'm still at 9b.

    Truck will run with a bad fuel pump ,mine wouldn't pull even on flat ground.

    Also just got done putting the s400 on the granite along with better flowing manifold.Piping and muffler were changed to 5".Haven't drove it yet since I need to tidy up ,but I can already feel the truck's rpm climb easier.. By the way just would like to mention something if it hasn't been already said.Make sure the manifold is centered between the two cylinder heads ,other wise fuel lines won't fit..DONT ASK ME HOW I KNOW.😁🇺🇲

    Macktechnician's contributions won't be forgotten.his numerous post with attention to detail will continue helping Mack owners stay on the road for ages to come.Hopefully the right people will come to sense and let him back, if he so wishes of course. Thank you sir. Red

    If you do this test , remember that 12 volts applied might make the solenoid actuate but if orings are gone oil bypass will occur and timing won't change.
  10. R.E.D
    Also wouldn't hurt to check resistance in said solenoid to make sure it has continuity and the correct resistance.im not sure what resistance it should should have but someone here might know.
  11. R.E.D
    Have you removed the two screws holding that solenoid?it's a hydraulic valve , it has orings that could have deteriorated and oil pressure could be bypassing and altering timing.

    Dt360 while on the rarer side are also a good option for that small of a bus.same displacement as Cummins but it has liners that can be replaced unlike a Cummins 5.9 .Also there is some aftermarket support since guys used them for sled pulling and they make plenty power with the right add ons. Just my 2 cents PS:I believe Carson Stauffer diesel sells some of the go fast parts for the Dt engines. RED

    Hello Mackanic, We need more details in order to help .Does it crank over at all?does the lighting bolt light up momentarily when key is turned to on position?are all the fuses good in the dash and the fire wall fuse boxes?
  14. R.E.D
    Agreed..all the things you say are true , yet I only stated the differences..and never said I loved it.i have swapped over to Eaton in the past for ease of use and maintenance and because drivers brake then trying to shift then like eatons.but in the truck I drive , I keep my t310m for it serves me best for my application.
  15. R.E.D
    That's due to the Mack being a triple countershaft design which makes it more robust and therefore a little stiffer to shift .Eaton only has two countershafts. Also mack trans have a bit more overdrive, giving it a bit more road speed compared to Eaton or lower rpm at desired speed .

    Not to seem conspiratorial,but there has been pallets of bricks dropped off where most rioters congregate....not just one place I believe , they didn't look busted like if they fell off a truck instead they look placed in order to be used by the rioters.

    The used ecm that I was able to get (since mack dealership didn't have one and had to order it , meaning at least a week of downtime ) came from an Ami 370 like mine..only difference is that it had an engine ...I have the ⚡ code for the engine brake since my truck didn't come equipped with one..therefore ina sense I'm working backwards to achieve this ... Macktechnician is right.some one who is currently knee deep in this would be able to give us the details Nitty-gritty details.

    Hello fellas , can we start a tread for posterity for those wanting to retrofit their trucks with an engine brake..what are the best option and things needed in order to accomplish this task. I would like to start by posting this bulletin on the matter. Thanks RED PS: if the full bulletin is wanted it can be had free of charge from Mack emedia .just search for the bulletin number sb266017

    No ..I bought an aftermarket tach that ran off the pulse from the alternator..it fit in place of the old one...the aftermarket tach has a adjustment knob in order to match it up to real engine rpm.
  20. R.E.D
    Mack engines do "fit " since the engine are same displacement ment...what makes them ai or ami is programming ,turbo and injectors...there several post describing the difference and similarities between hp ratings.. typically 50 hp difference engines have the same hardware components just different software programming.
  21. R.E.D
    If you do decide make the swap.try to get the steel (iron) bell housing.The aluminum one doesn't like the torque twist when off road and the pressed fittings come loose and since mack engines are only held by the front and transmission engine mounts the engine will fall on it side .. Had this happen on my 96 Rd and engine leaned towards passenger side braking the econovance fitting .it dumped most of the oil and shutoff.had to retap econovance housing on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere while it was 19 degrees outside .
