just curious,,, when you install the nuts on the studs, and the stud turns/tighten up, what do you do about that? the studs dont have a screwdriver slot on top, so you can adjust them before you put torque on the nuts..

2012 Mack CHU no-start, electrical problem?

Really????? -
Please dont feel like a dumbass... we all cant know it all.. You just learned something.. hat's off to you for keeping it upright, and no-one was hurt..

what you saw with the walking suspension is not good.. those rears can move a little but what you saw..... hell no.. I am not picking at you right now.... but how long have you been driving Mack's, with camelback's???? It is a strong set-up, but like ANY other set-up. If it is not inspected and maintained..... Well...... You obviously know... I am glad that no one was hurt.. jojo

I bet you are glad you didnt try to roll this engine over??? It would never have fired, unless of course you love ether.. anyway.. I do like the idea of buying the 237 truck.. If it runs really good and you can drive it, just because.. you'll probably be just fine, then set tis engine aside and re-biuld it, or carefully take it apart and clean the parts by hand, and sell the parts to recover some dough... jojo

You nailed it..!!!

Mice suck !!! down here we have dirt daubers that will build a nest in a bolt hole,, just imagine.. I litterally put plugs or tape over the ends of my hose rolls to keep them out,,, in a bigger hose, they will go up inside, out of sight and make nest, then when I cut a peice of hose to install it, and it doesnt let fluid through........ Damn dirt dauber's.. Thats why I cap them on the rack..

Bob,,, I have no clue... I know that no matter how many jobs iv'e done, Out of nowhere here come a 'Monkey wrench' ... It's a WTF?? moment for me.. I had the block wokred over at a machine shop, and asked them to press the liners for me, because at the time I didnt have a liner press.. Buddy I don't know, but this weekend, when I have free time,, she's comin' out !! -
there is a dent on the back of the box that got my attention..
-
That was why I came off as an A$$ at first... My gut told me that there are un-safe practices.... Inspecting those boxes is easy, as you know.. and now the story is that they are going to just fix that one... what about the other 3?? I hope 'C' takes a good look at all the info and opinions, and look around the shop with a keen educated eye.. Yes luck kept him upright, but I would like to add that he did good to not lose it also... jojo

I appreciate you Glenn.. I knew about the .002" crush fit. The engine that I have is a '20 bolt'.. It just baffles me how that one NEW liner got pitted like that. There wasnt any rust, to indicate water was there. and it seemed like it was in line with where a piston ring was, while it was sitting. It did sit for a few months untouched, but I kept it covered and oiled.. Anyway, I may never know.. I do know that before I pull the liner, I will mark block with paint, where the pitting is, and see if there is a defect or bump or whatever, in the counterbore.. jojo -
yeah, X's 4... Gosh I hope they get it right and safe for who ever drives it again.. jojo

2013 Mack w/MP8 Engine Locked Up While Idling!!!
Joey Mack replied to Missphd99's topic in Engine and Transmission
Was the right amount of oil put back in? I really don't know how this could happen after a normal oil change.. did they try to rotate the engine with a bar or barring tool? -
If you end up having to re-build this engine, before you buy the kit,. Specify if you have a turbo or not, and head bolt count for the gasket kit. I'm sure there is a few other things to ask about. They may ask for the current piston part number on the piston.. no biggie, just be prepared.. jojo

Just like Macks said.. it's that easy..

I dont know about in-framing a B-Model.. or dropping the pan.. sorry bud... However,, there are a ton of guy's that do know.. jojo
