2004 Mack Granite CV 713 turns over but wont start
Mackpro replied to joel cravo's question in Mack Truck Q & A
Can you read the engine hours on your display? If not your engine ecm is not powering up. If you can view it then start with fuel related checks. There is a fuse for the engine ecm on the LH firewall in the fuse box -
The electric viscous fan never fully disengages. This is normal. The only other option on a Mack now is the Horton 2 speed air fan clutch. And even it still spins pretty good when disengaged. On the electric viscous fan, the tech can view fan speed and turn fan on and off with Tech Tool. Your truck is to new for the problematic Borg Warner electric viscous fan. The Behr fan that you have is very trouble free.

Working on a MP engine is like driving across Texas! You go at it for days and still feel you have gotten nowhere.

Would you pay 30k for this truck?
Mackpro replied to cowhater's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
I need to edit my reply as I see these trucks go closer to $50,000 here with a steel bed . So that's a good price actually -

It's a little high but....... have it bumped to 460XT then smile and wave to your other buddies who are stuck in 5mph de-rate while you go make $$$$$ -
Does the sensor screw directly into the radiator or is it in a surge tank up on the fire wall? Also does the sensor have a plug in harness or eyelet and nut style harness

http://www.premiumtechtool.com/purchase/ The PTT software is $600 for either Mack or Volvo. For both its $800. Then $200 a year for updates if you want them. Plus you can actually get dealer software programming if you want but its quite a bit more. The adapter/interface is where they get you. However the VOCOM II adapter is cheaper than the orignal VOCOM that we use here

The 5-672 manual is the closest I could find

2015 Mack Granite Power steering Problem
Mackpro replied to F & S TRUCKING's question in Mack Truck Q & A
Most of the time you jack front axle off the ground and start engine and turn steering wheel lock to lock. This should get air out of system. If you are having hard steering or wandering issue then there is a know issue of GU/CHU built after November 2014 . -
Our oldest engine manual here at our dealership is for the E6 4 valve head. We sometimes have extras for the older manuals but not in this case.

https://macktrucks.vg-emedia.com/InformationListing.aspx?GroupId=536 Is this the engine ? If so Mack still list the manual. I hope the link comes through

What year model would that engine be? I might have what you need
-
You got the dreaded 4-5 code which can be a pain to fix. 37 psi is up there . Usually 33-35 max. A turbo calibration on the laptop might show what's wrong.

Ive been meaning to give you a hollar about your XT file. I've finally returned back to work after a long extended vacation.

The part # is says on my tube is 22618326 and it says Volvo all over it.
-
I'll look when I get to work but it is the Volvo pink stuff. We actually cant order it for some reason as it seems it's a Volvo only part number and we're Mack only. Our other dealership is a dual dealer and they get it for us. Don't forget the loctie activator that you spray on first.

Depending on emissions year model you can program injectors under " calibrations". However all models you can do it under Programing then parameters

If it has the double U-joints on top of the gear box. Loosen the bearing retaining plate between the U-joints a little and drive it around the yard and see if that helps. The Bearing might be bound up on the shaft.
-
If you have the hard start problem but engine run fine , the sealing surface on the injectors sealing surface to the cup could be pitted to the point that it wont reseal with just a new cup. Mack has guide lines on this. Pretty much , if the sealing surface is pitted you replace the injector.

On the MP engines , Mack charges the dealers any where from $200 to 1500 for the download then the dealers will usually mark them up a little. 95% of them seem to be in the $200 range ( dealer cost). The dealer submits a request form to Mack via E-service ( email type program) and Mack responds back with the available HP levels that engine can be raised to and cost to do it. We do about one a week.

Im voting freeze plug fell out of end of rocker arm shaft. Also, the bottom stud on the exhaust manifold on every ETECH style engine is drilled all the way into the push tube bore. Oil can leak past the treads and make it look like oil is coming out of exhaust manifold. A missing plug on the rocker arm shaft ( they just fall out sometimes) can flood the top of the motor with oil and cause too much oil in the push tube bores and oil seepage.

In cases where there is the small Fuller trans, we do the 505E download where you get the HP but not the torque. It helps. We havent ordered anything with a Fuller in a long time because of this issue. Jumping up to the higher torque Fuller is quite a bit more money when ordering new.

Engine brake front and rear head. Check and make sure the wire is plugged into each valve cover, if so , pull valve cover and make sure ground wire is not broken on solinoid
