Cool.. they made springs for my Toyota truck that I still have for 22 years now.. Earl was about 65 years old back then... I hope he is still alive. I really Hope his Legacy is still alive... He took me under his wing after a year of hating me, and he instilled a work ethic in me on how to fix Mack's, and build the engines.. Every time I build a Mack engine.... He is with me... ''What would Earl have me do?''... Jojo

Went to Georgia, fuelled at Gulf station, saw a Mack truck
Joey Mack replied to Vladislav's topic in Odds and Ends
Awesome pictures Guy's !!! -
It is the sales office.. is the spring shop still across the street? I also wonder if anyone I worked with is still at Mack.. Specifically Earl Harnden...

You say they don't work on older Mack engines at OConnors.. when I was there, (before I Connors). we had a rebuild room, and in the parking lot was a separate building, it was a pump shop.. my how things have changed.. your Mack is not OLD to me, but today, I guess it is ancient...

Good diag. Procedure
-
R.E.D. your picture is a big help. I posted about that a few days ago. Now he can see what we are talking about.. jojo

MB, are they F'n kidding us??? I'm lost.. I can't believe the intentional destruction of our country is underway... I need a minute....

I'm watching Fox News in my Hotel room right now.. 8:20 pm.. they are at the southern border.. the Mexicans in the back ground look clean, well fed and pretty much normal.. and..... They are on cell phones... How the HELL did they keep the phones charged, if THEY supposedly walked for weeks or more through a bunch of different countries????? Any reasonable answer will be appreciated... Jojo

No shit!! I started at Maine Mack there on Warren Ave. In 2000.. I was there when Dick O'Connor bought them.. there was 36 of us... Whenever the change happened they kept about 12.. me included. I left there in early 2006.. Too funny.. Jojo

Well, it looks like we have about 26 more hours before the flood gates open at the southern border.. Time to roll out the welcome matt for more welfare recipients, drugs, sex crimes and disease... 👍. God Bless America..
-
Are you doing all the work? Or do you have a local shop? I have been out of Maine for 17 years, and don't know who fixes Macks anymore..
-
The fuel spray looks good, (by my eye).. has the oil level been rising? Anyway... Pull the nozzle...
-
DCW, You got it!! I said it in my head 10 times to try to figure out how to type the way they talked . 🤔🤣
-
You need to pull it and check it and a pop test if there is nothing obvious.. if you wash a cylinder, your done..... That will have to be repaired, and a lot goes in to doing only 1 cylinder..
-
If the nozzle has a cracked tip, it will flow too easily. Low injection pressure.

That waths Cool... Did he just Score?
-
That sounds really good.. I prefer them to be out of the chassis.. I have built many in the chassis.. Are you familiar with measuring liner protrusion, and inspecting the counter bore, machining the counter bore if needed, and then properly shimming the liner to spec, and setting all the liners to within .002"? I am asking, so I can get an idea of your knowledge.. With respect, Jojo
-
Are you doing an in frame? How do you plan on removing the crankshaft? I suggest you drop all 13 caps, one at a time and look for crank damage, before you go any further.. PAI. Kits are really good. I have built at least 10 Macks with their parts, and I have 2 more in my shop now.. I also suggest that you get REAL INTIMATE with the CORRECT WAY to run the valves... If you run them like Cat or John Deere does, you Will be doing the cam and lifters all over again.. one minute after you crank the engine around.. There is a bunch of us here with good info. And several posts about these AC engines... Jojo

Mack T318 grinding while shifting in mid gears
Joey Mack replied to Big Blue Mack's question in Mack Truck Q & A
Ive gotton to meet a lot of drivers that came from an Eaton tranny, and go to a Mack Tranny, and had a bit of a learning curve. They said it was not as smooth to shift.. That's an understatement.. -
Mack T318 grinding while shifting in mid gears
Joey Mack replied to Big Blue Mack's question in Mack Truck Q & A
Oh Hell.. DCW.. you nailed it.. I bet I'm the only guy here that double clutches... -
Yep, Good luck getting someone to know what an EUP cal. Code is
-
Check the wires coming to EUP.. they tend to run against the engine and short out, and they can crack as well. Start there, and keep your wallet closed while we guide you.. If the wires look good, check the big plugs on the EECU for pin damage. If that is good, you can swap #4 EUP, with another, easy to get to, EUP, and see if the code follows the EUP.. if you do remove the #4 EUP. Pull the roller lifters out and inspect the roller, guide pin and cam lobe.... Jojo

Have you checked the ground connection at the tail lights. Those air switch sockets have a ring that needs to be pushed in, and held in, so you can remove the switch. You should be able to join the 2 wires for the brake lights to see if they stay on. Without removing the switch. If they don't, I would look for a bad wire.. no air pressure is needed for jumping the wires..

Ditto !! 🎂🥳
