FJH.. I know I'm sidetracking a bit here... Back in 2017, when I was back at the Mack dealer trying to get a desk job.. I was told to re-build an MP-8.. Problem for me was that it was torn apart, and the parts were in a pile instead of on a table with location markings and such.. The next issue for me was... I had never been trained to build one.. So I used ''Impact'' and down loaded the whole engine book... ( I still Have a Copy in My library).. and I built that engine... It ran great when I ran-it-in.. ..I told my boss during the job that I was concerned about my ability to do it right.. He said... ''Don't worry,, if it fails We Will Warranty the job'' Right then I knew I went back to a Shitshow at a dealership.. Never again !! I literally built one more right after that one,, and 3 more over the next year and a half, before I walked out.... Never again !!!

I know a little bit about an un-expected fire... We say ''Sh!t Happens'' It does...... and sometimes it's a Hell of a Surprise !!!!..

''Blinders'' to keep the money flowing masked by WARRANTY.!!!!! I have seen it !!

Mark?? Dont the dealers spend a lot of time looking for any reason to void a warranty??

Actually I stayed at a ''Courtyard by Marriot'' last week.. when I was at school for my 'Poop Water' Job... Oh wait..... Where was I ??? Oh yeah, Mack Trucks.. Uhhhh Well, they break, and you have to come here to get REAL answers.... For B.S. answers... See: TJC.. 💋

Im with FJH.. I dont have the knowledge on these models. I left for the LAST time in June- 2019... and didnt look back.. Thank You Terry... You are very kind.. There are a few others that are well versed in these newer units..

I was hoping MackPro would see this.. He always has the specs. and knowledge.. I suggest you pay attention to him.. I can help, but not as thorough as he can.. jojo

You can swap it with another EUP and see if the code follows it.. if not, check the injector..

Good call on cleaning the contacts.. as far as a scope in the oil drain plug.. that's a no-go.. oil pump pick up is in the way... Looks like you gotta remove the 30 nuts and bolts.. sorry.. however, this gives you a chance to look really good at the bottom end..

Oh my Lord..

In response to your gratitude... This web site is Amazing.. There are a lot of really smart guys on here that are willing to help.. I suggest you KEEP this 'site' in your tool box..!! Jojo

Your welcome,, The cheap harbor freight ones work fine..

Ok.. How about an over heating relay in the fuse panel.. Any chance you have an infrared thermometer to check relays? Yes you can use your finger tips, but its faster to use the infrared gun..

So is something loose and bumps in the road cause it to short out?

Run it and if it happens again, try that same truck to see if it fixes it again.. the mother board in the cluster can fail.. You can get one through Volvo, and they will flash it for you based on the VIN. Well, I had them done like that several years ago, hopefully the same way today..

You may want to lean the the cluster back and check the plugs in the back side. Along with checking grounds..

We have a Mack shop in Salisbury... Transource.... The Greensboro store may be the one to help. They have a store in Raliegh, and Rocky Mount is A Volvo dealer.. I worked for them for 4 1/2 years...

I wonder if you now have a cluster issue.. Do you have a Volvo dealer that can re-program it or check it? I have had to bring clusters to Volvo in the past as a Core' and install the newly flashed unit.. 2007 VN D-13.. many years ago.. I wonder if it is still the same process.. ??

After the divorce is settled, you are still brother and sister, youuu might be a redneck...

I forgot to add, there are ground wires above the throttle pedal, to the left of the top fuse panel.. I'm rusty, you do have a fuse cover on top of the dash.. right??

Well here I go again. check the ground wire connections. there is a pass-through in the center of the firewall all the grounds are gray wires.. good luck... Jojo

You need to put that on DCW's thread. You know your a redneck.. I meant to say... ''You might be a redneck'' .. oopps

Heres one I made up.... "If one or more of your vehicles beeps when it backs up"! Youuu might be a Redneck.... Jojo

So once again there is a baby Formula recall... However, ''Some" formula ''Slipped through the Cracks, and was distributed'' here is the list of states.... ( Right now on CBS News With Norah O'Donnel) 6:45 pm.. est.. Alabama. Georgia. Indiana. Kentucky. Ohio. Tennessee. Virginia. West Virginia. Seems to me..... if this food IS tainted,, I guess it's OK to send it to REPUBLICAN STATES... What say you guy's?? I bet the illegals at the southern border have ''The good Stuff''

I used to take my dirtbike cables off and poke one end through the corner of a ziplock bag and go around a few times with elec. tape to seal the bag to the cable. Then pour a couple ounces of ATF in the bag and hang it up. ( Kinda like an I.V. bag) in a few hours, or over night,all the ATF has poured out the other end. Just an old way to keep my cables lubed.. On shorter cables I have used a drill and spun the cable. like a screw pump, i could dip it in ATF and it will pull the ATF through the sheath, and come out on the drill end. it takes a few minutes to do it this way.. Jojo Here it is anyway, I found it so it was easy to paste here
