  1. Yes sir. Always interested in Mack Manual's. P.M. me as needed.. Jojo
  2. Here is a code list.. the code sequence is down the middle of the pages.. V-MAC_Fault_Assignments.pdf
  3. Yeah, I really can't stay away... Especially for an E-7/E-Tech issue... I just don't want to stack too many things on at one time for someone who is not familiar with this setup... Jojo
  4. all good,, just going to see the results of his diag.. I tend to post post too much.. im training myself to ''chill''
  5. It may be best for me to leave this thread. Good luck sir.. Jojo
  6. Your engine is an E-Tech.. flywheel sensor is behind the starter in the side of the flywheel housing. The plug and wires can be seen running along where the clutch cable is.... The cam sensor is at the right front corner of the engine near the over board breather.. the cam sensor is called the engine position sensor. The one in the flywheel housing is called RPM/TDC sensor.. do you know where the fuse box is under the hood? Did you check the ground wires on the block yet? All this is easy and free to do.
  7. I forgot to add, to check the large ground bolt on the engine, in front of the starter.. the 2 thin eyelets are for the engine harness..
  8. I doubt ECM... Check the condition of the fuse box under the center of the windshield. Fuse 40 is the ECM. Looks like you have an RD 688S... Also, when it's running, unplug the cam sensor, if it shuts off the flywheel sensor or wires are bad, if it stays running, plug it back in and unplug the flywheel sensor. If it shuts off, the cam sensor is bad... 2 simple steps that are FREE to do. If you would like, you can go to flywheel sensor wires and peel back the loom to see if the wires are damaged.. I have seen that a lot. Jojo
  9. I have never seen that kind of damage before.. Holy Crap..
  10. I wish I could drive that rig.. Sounds like a bunch of skill... I guess today, the driver just pushes his right foot closer to the floor...
  11. Ok, I thought we were talking about 4 valve engines... Sorry....
  12. if you have the old gray rubber gaskets or the black ones that are attached at the business end, , you can re-use them.. you will see how the crush on them makes them just a tick wider at the mating side.. You can flip them over, they will fit snug in the valve cover groove.. the cover bolts are shouldered so they will only go down so far before they stop... to me this is not a crappy way to do this, its just using both sides of them.. of course, you have to determine if they are to far gone for re-use...
  13. Yeah, as great of a truck the MR is, when they wreck, its a cab swap, unlike a tilt nose truck that needs a hood, and maybe a door, if one just lays over.. Its great that you have the skills to fix this one, Seems to me the insurance adjuster was not knowledgable enough for your claim.. Jojo
  14. it looked really good to me.. you guys busted your humps getting it road ready..
  15. I assume its E-7, with an electric governor on the injection pump.. check the contacts in the Deutch plug and the T.E.M. sensor.. what is the recent repair history? also,, check the front engine brake to see if it is stuck 'on' https://truckmanualshub.com/mack-truck-vmaciii-1998-fault-codes-list/
  16. its been over a year, I think... ive been curious too..
  17. so true TJC...
  18. Are MR cabs available in your area? Here they are all trash trucks.. and in rough shape.. Just curious..
  19. Busted !!!
  20. JoeH?? I was looking for the thread with your MR. I was curious how it is coming along.. Jojo
  21. Hey there Newbie.. Welcome to the Dog House... Lots of smart guys here..
  22. for what its worth... I cant tell you how many heads I have installed on Mack engines.. Its got to be around 100.. even when I do get to see the truck a few months or a year later, I would look for leaks, with the acception of an occasional coolant hose drip, here and there, all good.. Glad you guys agree.. Jojo
  23. lets not forget the 10 million new Biden voters that walked into our southern border..
  24. sorry Hippie... It's rigged... We All know it.. I truly hope I am WRONG!!!
  25. ok.. so I was reluctant to post what I do.. but terry opened the door.... 99 percent of the engines I have rebuilt were leaving the shop never to be seen again... (hopefully) ..... I would add 10 lbft to the head bolts... (E-7/E-Tech) 210-215 lbft. total torque, with a torque wrench, and knowing how the bolts feel.. ''you can feel it if it is to loose or getting too tight.. I have not had a report of a leak or other issue's with my wicked way
