    You are too Kind, Onyx.. Truth is... I ran away from MP engines years ago.. I did'nt look back to see if they were gaining, I just RAN !!.. I truly have forgotten a lot about diagnostics on the E.A.T.S. and E.G.R. issues.. I do remember the glove test, 👍.. You are smarter than you realize on these MP's.. Jojo

    The acc. relay, if connections are loose can cause a shutdown if it V-Mac II. V-Mac I has a pull stop.. It is a good suggestion to check the acc. relay. It is under the ash tray inside the dash. You can here a loud click when you cycle the key, and if you dont know where it is, the sound will bring you to it

    Loose grounds, and if it is V-mac II, I would check the plug connection and condition at the injection pump. the deutch connector needs to be secured into the yoke that should be there. jojo

    I tried to look up JOT, but all I got were ads for coffee and note taking. What is the Name of the site, I thought I would take a look.

    This place is the only forum I have been involved in.. I really like all the different categories. I got to know quite a few really smart guys on here, and if we have a topic that's not truck related, we have a couple places to do that. That way, those that aren't interested in the topic, can find one that suits them.. Just my thoughts.. I do notice more and more topics about the MP's, and lots of issues with trucks that are less than 5 years old.... to be expected.... I Guess... Jojo

    95 is a good year, a well maintained E-7 can go a million miles. I would have one of those over any 2003-2006.... More comments will be here soon.. Good luck on your search..

    Yep, there is a port on the compressor head, top right outer side, on a Bendix. Some of them have a 90 degree drain spout, takes a 9/16" deep socket to open it.. I think about 3-4 gallons is all that will drain. Easy to do..

    I am sorry.. I feel your pain. I worked in Mack dealerships for only 10 years, but I saw the pain.. I am praying for you.. May I suggest that you get as 'involved' as you can in truck diagnostic's next time you send one off.. Hopefully they will keep you well informed.. If you dont know what questions to ask, come here, and post your concern, and one of us will help you create a good question or question's.. Jojo

    Hell Yeah !!!!! Welcome to the Dog Pound, as I like to say.. You won't beleive how much knowledge is here... Jojo
  15. Joey Mack
    sorry about the small picture, not sure how that happened..
  16. Joey Mack
    👍Thank's.. heres the last one I did.. It took a lot of scrubbing before paint.. Much better when they are out of the truck..

    I really like the posts about doing a quality paint job on an engine.. Some really professional jobs.. Kinda makes my Rattlecan jobs in chassis look like childs play.. Mine look nice and neat when they are done, but, no where as professional as they could be.. I take pride in my engine builds, and really try to show it.. I'm really impressed by skilled painters.. I also like to see the pictures of the hi quality jobs.. it is inspiring.. Jojo
  18. Joey Mack
    yep.....
  19. Joey Mack
    oh.... ok... the paint is actually Mack Gray Engine paint... yes, that is an E-Tech... It has similar horizontal injector line ports as the E-7.. The injectors are mounted the same way as an E-7. The E-Tech has 1 fuel pump per cylinder, instead of an in-line injection pump. I will stop here, so that I don't steal this thread.. P.M. me if you want to know more, or tell me to shut-up... Jojo

    Mech,,? are you talking to me about the engine pics I posted, or someone else.. ? jojo

    seems like there was a change 30 years later... a 612 was a single drive axle and a 613 was tandem.. Man I have a lot more to learn... Luv it.. Jojo
  22. Joey Mack
    Forgive me... but.. yes the crank is huge in size, but I didnt see any HUGE issues. Am I correct? looks good to me.. I love this thread... Jojo
  23. Joey Mack
    I do paint parts when the are off the engine. As you can see my head bolts are not painted yet. Then I go back and do touch ups.. Yes it is very hard to get a good cover if paint when it's in chassis.. in my case, since I was building engines in working trucks, I do the best I can.. yes it only lasts about 3 years or so. It does help to spot any leaks that may pop up. If I was doing one for a restoration, I would not even attempt to paint it..
  24. Joey Mack
    I always paint my engine build's. most are in the chassis. as Mech stated, if not for a restoration, and just for a clean looking engine, it can be done in chassis. I prefer it to be out, but that cant always happen.

    Bob White,, the 2 tone '76 C-10 is new to me.. I just bought it for $3500.00... The factory 454 has a bad knock in it.. I couldnt pass it up.. yep, another project added to my mile long list... oh well...... Jojo
