  1. That 5 is actually a "S". You got a MID-128, SID-3, FMI-8. Which is a 8-3 code in the Mack book. Its your #3 EUP pump. FMI-8 usually means its somewhat working correctly but probably needs replacing in the future. This FMI-8 is a common code on the EUP's in older trucks. Mostly comes on when engine first starts up then goes out after it warms up. I wouldnt change it till starts coming on daily or stays on.
  2. Here's a "VMAC III Engine Cranks But No Start" guide that I found buried in my stash. Bad news its in Microsoft Office format, I hope you can open it. Its for the 1999-2002 ETECH's but yur ASET AI is almost the same. I have had a shorted EUP keep one from not starting and not set a code and check the same OHM's as the good ones. That one was a hard one to figure out. engine_cranks_no_start.doc
  3. Before I start my rant, I'd like to say no offence to our overeas members. I , for one love the European infiuence in our trucking industry. Gone are the days of a simple headlight circuit of a fuse, a switch , maybe a relay and head light. Now thanks to our European friends at Volvo, we have multiple breakers, fuse panels , relays and a ECM and I cant forget the European style wiring diagrams that are impossible to read. But I guess I shouldn't complain as I make good money tracing their crazy wiring issuses. Our new trucks have become like BMW's, Land Rover's and Mercedes, unless you have money to burn, dont own one out of warranty. We call it here " European Reliability". We still have lots of R-models and early CH's running around here and just one day I'd like to come in and work on one to remember the good days back when I first started this job in 1988. That rarely happens........wonder why? Now I'm off to troubleshoot a 2010 GU that will start if you pull it with a chain but not with the key. Time to use those wonderful wiring diagrams :).
  4. 5 year/750,000 miles for a T300 series trans in a road tractor. However if your truck is classed as a severe duty or off road the warranty could be shorter. Also if the syncro pack is damaged, we have to look at the wear on the gears to see if improper range shifting (down shifting) caused the failure. In that case no warranty.
  5. Update the ACM and EMS software to the latest levels, replace both NOX sensors if not the current part#'s, do 2 regens and a 20 mile test drive. If light still on , you got other problems.
  6. Walker M100463 is what you want. Its listed as an off road muffler but its barely louder than stock but flows much more than stock. We put them on lots of CH's and CX's
  7. Make sure both engines are the either ETECH's or CCRS ( 2002-2003). Use the turbo and injectors and engine ECM off the 460 ( of course off-set key way if ETECH). Rest of the engine is the same regardless of HP.
  8. Is there dip switches on the back of the tach? If so it might be set incorrectly. Hope this helps. sb732003 tach.pdf
  9. I have had several trucks that would start on starting fulid and run fine and make you think it was a fuel bleed back issue. However it was the starter drawing to many volts/amps, and pulling power away from the ECM. What was funny was the starter turned over and sounded fine. Hook a volt meter to the big solinoid in the fuse box and crank the engine and see how low it gets. If below 9-10 vots this could be your problem.
  10. Remove air line from solenoid going to fan clutch, apply shop air directly to fan clutch with engine off, listen for internal air leak of fan clutch. Different types of air fans work different than others . Some engage with air and some the opposite. Horton, Eaton and Kysor, I get them all confused
  11. E-media in dealer portal has only a few items on the E-9. I'm still trying to find the original Mack E literature site , hopefully buried some where in dealer portal and not deleted
  12. All I could find as of now. MTPI 210-044PB.pdf
  13. Did you notice that the "Mack Electronic Information System" section in dealer portal is missing? It had the old service bulletins in it. Its gone or they moved it on me.
  14. I just got a Parts Service Bulletin in this morning and it seems there is another new brand of electric viscus fan clutch as AW12345 said above. Its called the Mahle EVISCO. But now that I have looked into it , its just the Behr fan clutch renamed. Mahle owns Behr. PSM16-M-NA-73%20Evisco%20Fan%20Replaces%20Borg%20HDMS%20Fan%20Clutch.pdf
  15. Clusters for the newer MP engined cabs run about $1300 with the Guard Dog screen. I have soidered in buzzers on the printed circuit boards for the older 2002-2007 curved dash cabs. I haven't tried it on the newer clusters.
  16. As working for a dealership , we do good just to keep these new engines running on good diesel fuel without derateing over DEF issues ! Please don't screw up what little sanity I have left!!!
  17. There is a service bulletin on this issue I believe , it will be Monday before I can post it. Yes, software caused the issue , however if the truck was driven to long with the improper software, the EGR cooler is plugged and must be replaced . Best case , with the new software the code never reoccurs . Worst case , new egr cooler . I've been told on the 2010 and up egr coolers can't be cleaned out but you never know .
  18. When I first started working at our dealership back in 1988, I remember going to Dallas and picking up new Superliners and Allentown and picking up Midliners. Both I think were still Factory Branches at the time.
  19. Just got a email from Mack today and they have a new AHI moduel coming out in a few months that is built into the fuel filter housing. We'll see how this goes! Also a 2 speed water pump.
  20. Just the smaller Behr electric viscus and Horton 2 speed air are the only ones I have seen. Last week we ordered a replacement Borg Warner Cool Logic and got a retro fit Behr kit with fan and hub and clutch. We called Tech support and they set up the download and we were good to go.
  21. Here is the Mack/Volvo compound setup
  22. 3-5 code is the front head engine brake solinoid. Remove the front valve cover and check for a broken ground wire coming off the solinoid. Common issue. However I have had to replace some engine ECM's due to the code not clearing .
  23. I assume your talking about the AHI module. We go through them like crazy too. I have heard that oil in the air system takes them out quickly. Change you air drier filter once a year is what I'v heard to make them last longer. Also the emission extended warranty wont cover the new style AHI module. The had lots of unhappy customers over this.

    350 e7

    1999 Etechs can be bumped to a 400 with a download at the dealer. No hard parts. However they like for you to install the bigger vibration damper. Any thing bumping Etechs that are 350/400 up to 427 or 460 require turbo and injectors and cam shaft key way replacement to keep from overheating. This is for the 1999- 2001 ETECH engines, the 2002 CCRS ETECHs and ASETs all have straight camshaft keyways regardless of HP. You could go with some aftermarket injectors and turbo and skip the dealer all togethhttps://www.rochesterdiesel.com/store/medium-heavy-duty-trucks/mack/97-06-e7/mack-performance-injectorser.
