    Took a little dig'n, but there's one video claims it's a 3406 with a thirteen speed. Beautiful seeing it working.

    My '21 Peterbilt gets @ 7 miles to a gallon. It's an MX13 510 🤭 . Loaded around 70% of the time close to 70K. If you try making it go 70 all day, it drops closer to 6 MPG. I do a lot of highway, not any sitting. Only one I can tell from experience. Now the '13 which is really good on DEF..... about 5 and a half, but it's geared lower than the '21 too. Like I said earlier, the macks used to be around 6 if you didn't push them hard. ( pre emissions I'm referring to )

    I don't feel right less I'm huff'n down around 70 gallons a day. Any Mack I ever owned , the mileage was directily related to the right foot. The E7 350s were about the best on fuel . They were all able to clear 6 if not pushed real hard though.

    I could never figure where the "econo" part came in.

    It's in the dash. I'm a little embarrassed to say I can't remember if it's behind the cover in front of the passenger seat or if it's further to the left behind the panel with the cup holders. It's easy enough to miss. There'll be a latch that you squeeze with your fingers to open it. It'll be about ten by ten inch and when it's new it'll resemble a Scotchbrite pad ( but bigger ) if it's dirty, it won't look anything like a Scotchbrite. More like broom finished concrete.

    I'm most likely having the wrong visual in my mind of the hat you refer to. pimp'n ain't easy

    Grounds (or lack of) can do odd things on an older truck. Not saying it's the problem, but it's an easy thing to rule out.

    Newer RDs like Joey's talking about at that plug behind the thermostat a blow gun across it with the plug out will help suck the coolant up in there too. Just for giggles, may want to try a wire with a couple alligator clips from engine to frame or cab to frame to make sure you're grounded.

    Get'n older sucks. It's humbling realize'n things don't work like they used to, let alone all the extra surprises here and there.

    I get it

    Xorust with a foam hotdog roller comes out better than you'd think it would. It's not like a nice spray job, but I've done it to a couple dump bodies. They came out presentable. Around here, there was an auto refinisher supply place. They could make you a spray (can) of whatever color. Maybe a cheap Harbor Freight HVLP is the way for you to go on this one.

    For what they do ? you'd think they would've been easier to get at. Depending what you're working around, they may only last a short time.
  19. Mark T
    🤷‍♂️ might be all that's wrong with it. (lol) my previous suggestion about it wasn't replied to either. Fairly common on those.
  20. Mark T
    Foam hotdog roller works better than comes to mind for something like that. Very close to as if it was sprayed.

    Has anyone checked the blue filter in the cab ? The one that looks like a big Scotchbrite ? They're a pain in the a$$ to get to and often overlooked. If it's dirty, no AC.
  22. Mark T
    Check the filter.
  23. Mark T
    Never hurts to change the filter. That little switch in by the controller knobs likes to give up too.

    I heard rachel volunteered to give him daily prostate exams. or at least split them up with mayor pete.

    That looks a lot like the FB video I saw.
