It’s one of the most hated things about the MP engine from a technician’s point of view. Getting that floating collar lined up and sealed can be a pain. Sometimes you get it the first try or you spend an hour messing with it. If the elbow is ever completely removed I use a wood splitting wedge between the elbow and back timing cover to hold the elbow in place while you get the clamps started. I also smear a very light coat of grey RVT on the metal gaskets to hold them in place.

Yes. We always pressure test before putting turbo back on . We clamp on the Mack/Volvo 9998288 aftercooler test plug on the RH side of the aftercooler. We made a turbo /exhaust manifold block off plate out of some flat steel. We bolt it in place of the turbo. We then pressure up the after cooler pluck off plate so it pressurize the aftercooler , intake manifold and EGR system. The leaks show up quickly.

Exit Inducment is only on the 2013 OBD trucks with the 16 pin OBD connector. On the 2010 emission trucks we do the reset and 2 regens and if the engine sees good NOX readings it will unlock the Derate. You can start a regen then unplug the 9 pin Doag adapter and back out of the regen screen . Plug the diag connector back up and go into Test and then Monitor sensor and choose the inlet and outlet box sensors and view the nox readings while the regen continues

It’s called SCR Dosing test (For Derate Reset) that is the closest thing to Exit inducement . I think we used to do the Derate Re-set , then 2 regens and a 45 minute test drive . I can’t get the picture to upload for some reason

I’ll see if I can screenshot it off my PTT tomorrow

Mack service bulletin SB-214-017 covers testing the testing the wastegate. It’s pretty detailed on testing and when it should be opening and staying closed. Be sure to pressure test the complete intake system. Thoses years had paper intake manifold gaskets that were later changed to steel core gaskets due to blow outs. The air compressor can get its fresh air from the back of the intake manifold. This metal pipe and hoses can leak which leak boost pressure. Unit pumps and injectors are wear items and can weaken over time.

Your on the right page , you have to you have to scroll the slider down on the right hand side of the screen to see the bottom of the screen. It might be called something like SCR re-set but it’s with the DEF dosing test. Is this an actual version of Tech Tool or a bootleg copy?

If a pre OBD 9 pin , it’s under “Test” then go to “Intake and Exhaust”, then I believe “SCR test” scroll down and it’s at the bottom of the page. You have to have the DEF doser loose as it will dose DEf fluid when it does the re-set.

Is the diagnostic connection a round 9 pin or rectangle 16 pin OBD connector?

Does your 470 CCRS have a wastegated turbo? Over here in the states our 2001.5 to 2003.5 CCRS 460 had a wastegated turbo and was a royal pain to get it to run right . We detuned several to 427 and replaced the wastegate turbo with a standard 427 turbo and no issues. With the 460 CCRS program over here, the engine ecm looks at the boost pressure sensor readings at different engine load, throttle pedal and other sensor readings and there is a narrow band of what the boost pressure readings would be. If the boost is not in the correct range then the engine pulls the fuel back and usually sets a fault code. When all was correct they ran great , if not then it was about like having. 300 or 350 hp.

If you got a VMAC 1 truck then you definitely need the Vmack 1 cartridge. The Heavy Duty cartridge had the individual chips. We had the “credit card chips” for the VMAC 3 for the early Etechs and a Detroit 60 card and possibly maybe some Abs cards for Waco and Bendix. The VMAC 3 cards didn’t work very good on the ASET engines .

eBay is usually the best bet . The guys that I know that have the ProLink stuff treat it like gold.

On trucks where the air compressor gets it’s fresh air from the piping between the air filter housing and the turbo, we see guys running dirty air filters and the engine is sucking for fresh air so hard it pulls oil up past the rings on the air compressor which pumps it into the air drier/air tanks. Very common on the 2003.5 -2007 Aset Ac engines . Could also happen to any truck with air compressor getting its fresh air this way.

Yes , if the dash cluster software update was done It should buzz when the diff lock is engaged.

If an MP8 then you can easily pull the elbow and hose off the EGR cooler outlet ( towards the front of the truck) and look directly into the EGR cooler and look fir dried and crusty antifreeze. MP7’s are harder to do because you can’t get the EGR cooler outlet pipe out of the way with out pulling the fan clutch to look inside the EGR cooler. There is a radiator pressure cap on the left side ( not the right side) of the coolant expansion tank on top off the radiator . It has a small overflow drain hose on it . If the cap is blue it needs the new black cap on it . If it has the black cap , get a 1 liter clean Sprite bottle and put the end of the hose in the bottle ans zip tie it up and run the truck for a day . See if it’s actually blowing the coolant out or burning it,

MP7 or MP8? And are you sure it’s a GU and not a CTP?

The local Kenan gas tanker trucks had those transmissions in them many many years ago. I went on many late night service calls due to the drivers leaning over on the gear shifter and the shifter would pop out of the slot for the shifter fork. We finally found out if we left the gasket out and just used RVT/silicone the shifter would stick down in the top cover just far enough to keep this from reoccurring.

All of our trucks have had the FXL axle with sealed hubs . Our new 2024’s have went back to the old Eaton looking axle with oil bath hubs. I’m not thrilled.

You have to leave the .045 feeler gauge in place when you adjust the .024 exhaust

Here is a helpful picture of which adjustment screw dose what on the powerleash.

Make sure the little valve cap is on top of the exhaust valve , Item 3 in this picture powerleash.pdf

The banjo fitting on the filter housing on the line from ECM cooler plate to the fuel filter housing is prone to clogging .
