  1. 75/90 synth..
  2. Yes, there should be blow by.. like I was saying,. I'm grabbing at straws, because of all the new parts, plus, he just acquired the truck, so history is unknown,. And it is an AC ASET... So there is a bunch of sensors to deal with.. and ether is used to start it,. And,. Well... Not being there in this case, is tough too.. jojo
  3. Isn't there a fuel filter up high near the steering column? I wonder if, after it sits for a while, he takes it off to check the fuel level in it to see if it drained back to the tank?? I am trying to fix this in my head,,. :). But I'm getting foggy... also,. Does pumping the primer before starting it, make it start?? Jojo
  4. Yes it can.. he can get this done with minimal Mack involvement, or lack there of...
  5. Looks like someone is waiting to see what that Smirnoff will do... Or maybe he wants a Swig.. Merry Christmas, Tom and Zina.... Jojo,, sorry I forgot the pups names..
  6. Mark, the last time I ordered the big Atro torque arms,. I have the vendor the length ' on center'. And the bolt hole with,. And size,5/8" or 16mm.. jojo

  8. Atro makes a strong torque rod for that suspension..
  9. I just went back to page 1... He just got the truck.. what's the chance it is already addicted to either, and needs 'A Hit' to get started each day.?? I think a compression test is in order.. what say y'all?? Jojo
  10. Judging by the picture of the airbag support. I would say that where the u-bolts clamp the springs in place, there is a good bit of wear.. do you see rust under the u- bolts or spacers, and also a shinny polished look on top of the banjo housing, under the torque arm mounts.. ?
  11. Mack tranny's since the mid. 90's took 75W90 synth. From the factory.. Do you have a Maint. And Lube book? There should be other grade listings for the region and usage..
  12. Merry Christmas!!!!
  13. Ok.. im grabbing at straws.. I guess since you confirm the elec. Issues are out, for the most part.. I guess it's back to loss of fuel prime..
  14. Yes check the RPM/TDC harness.. I suggest you take the heat shields off and look really good at the EUP wires.. they tend to rub through, and can short out against the block.. it is a bit of a long shot, however, I have fixed many of them too..
  15. I wish. Ether was not needed.. it's not healthy for a diesel..
  16. I have fixed many bad wires at the flywheel sensor, on the engine side of the 2 wire harness.. I find the insulation rotted off, and sometimes frayed wires, and even a terminal in the plug, loose and pushed in too far to make a good contact.. and as stated, a starter that is drawing to much power, can cause this issue. I assume you don't see any outside diesel leaks around the file pump or lines.. is the oil level rising due to a leaking fuel pump seal? Jojo
  17. What is the voltage drop while it is cranking?? Like FJH said, below 10 volts, the EUP,s won't fire.. of the starter pulls a lot of amps, it will lower the available voltage for the EUP's..
  18. I will send some next week.. we will be in the 60's.. Global warming is a joke... The Earth is going to do what it wants too.. our old trucks, are Not the issue.. I have a generator in my shop for a customer. I will be out there tomorrow.. glad you got some of the cabinet work done..
  19. It's cold here in Central N.C. 19 degrees right now (5:30) supposed to be around 10 degrees tonight.. the wind is up too 40 mph.. for two nights in a row, our secondary power lines on my street burned up. It was a beautiful display of small fire balls and dripping melted wire, and small explosions.. My internet is out, so the cell phone is getting a workout.. our house still has power, but next door and down the street is out.. I also have a 'paid' 5 day weekend, so I'm just going to chill out, and do some small repairs around the house.. Jojo
  20. Check circuit breaker #70, it is Bunk HVAC,. #72 is also an HVAC circuit breaker,, fuse 25 is the cab HVAC.. these are in the top panel..
  21. The Biden Klan, is trying hard to speed up the Jan. 6 hearings, so they can use the 14th Amendment to keep Donald Trump from running in 2024.. I wonder what lies they will come up with to ensure he can't run again... ??
  22. There is a wire harness that curls over the frame under the cab on the left side.. I have replaced/repaired them before. PTO issues is one of the symptoms.. they rub through and short out.. jojo
  23. In the cab. Right side fuse panel.
  24. If it were me I would check all the grounds.. they are the gray wires through out the harness'. under the top dash panel you can see some grounds, above the throttle pedal is some, and outside on the fire wall, is a pass through, and there is where i have found loose wires.. jojo
  25. the ground wire... All the grounds are GRAY..
