  1. I dont understand how it can be running and warmed up, shut down and not start right back up without ether.. to me if is warmed up, then the compression should be at it's best. so yes, fuel supply may be the issue here. Do you have a small tank you can mount above the level of the injection pump, that you can connect to the inlet of the primary filter, and run a return line back to it so you can run it for a while til it warms up, and try to restart it in an attempt to duplicate the problem.. I know I may sound like a nut, but sometimes I do these things just to see.... especially if I dont have new parts on hand. ok, I will set back and watch now.. jojo
  2. too funny. I have fixed it twice already. my bracing is still strong, the original frame just keeps rotting away. at some point the frame will look like a patchwork quilt .. I still drive it with out fear, I just cant go off road...
  3. hey Bob, I have a '97 toyota tacoma.. 21 years now,, the frame is rough but the truck runs and drives great... 188,000 miles... I was told by scrap yard guys that they were told to drain the oil from the engines and start them up and blow them up however they saw fit to do so... LKQ, is one of those companies... yep,,, Kill the good ones, and keep the junk... America !!! 'F' Yeah !!!... I hate progressive phonies.... they are not conservationist's... just duche bag's... forgive my poor spelling jojo
  4. And you always will Mackey..... the system is too particular about differential pressures and it causes more harm than good.. to me it was better to just burn the diesel to make power to get the job done, whether it is hauling goods on US highway's, or working the land to feed the US, or moving goods on trains and in ships, than to have to sit somewhere for an hour and light a fire inside a potential fire hazard box. its all a joke.. And dont nobody try to school me on NOX... I dont care.... more diesel is wasted now with these POS engines than when they were just Mechanical.. jojo
  5. As much as I love our Mack's.... I would run the wheels off an FLD with a 12.7 Detroit, and a 10 or 13 spd. I aint no super trucker, but I know I can run that sucker any day...
  6. Cat's and Dog's can get along, with proper training... Myself.... I like a 12.7 Series 60, If I can't have an E-7... or even an E-Tech.. jojo
  7. Volvo has dissolved the MACK brand... it started around 2002.. I have heard of dual dealerships dropping the Mack Brand.. PAI, is going to make a fortune!!!! Why?? because guy's like us will buy their kits to keep our Mack's on the road... I just hope PAI, doesnt reduce quality to a 1-2 year life span... anyway, I have an opinion.... ooop's,, I forgot.... the DEF is a bunch of sh!t !!! No REAL truck need's it... jojo
  8. so true Rebel...
  9. E-Tech... I am using the part number that the reman center installed originally. I prefer steel rollers.. The owner didnt want me to stray from the current part number as well.. and since I literally, finished an ASET-C the day before, with ceramic lifters, he said to do it again, with this E-Tech.. As far as calling PAI, I would like to but the owner pulled out his credit card and paid for the parts I put in the 'Cart'.. It's ok... I will just build it with what comes.. Thanks guy's... jojo
  10. yes. 690 jacobs... this is the first time it has been apart, according to the owner. I have to say,,,, it did run for 11 years... I ordered a cam kit through ATL Diesel. it is a PAI kit, and ceramic lifters and ceramic EUP lifters are listed in the parts list.. I havent ever seen ceramic EUP lifters before, either.. Of course I can't call my Mack dealer to get answers to my questions... Just when I thought I knew the E-Tech 'top-to-bottom',,,, this crap pops up. jojo
  11. "Cash for Clunkers" What a joke !!! All these libtards preach is climate change issues, and caring for the environment, but they make everything to expensive to fix and create more trash than needed. Just count how many pieces you throw away the next time you get a new cell phone.. jojo
  12. what a bullshit video... the damn thing ran.. why not pull it and sell it.. or sell the whole truck.. and the rootz blower is valuable,, I know, because I tried to help a farmer fix a 353, but the blower took a crap when we cranked it.. 2 grand for another used one.. anyway.. it sucks ... jojo
  13. I have a question.? I just stripped an E-Tech. It is 11 years old built by the Mack Re-man center. What surprised me is that it has Ceramic lifters.. But does not have spring loaded exhaust pushrods. Why do I feel like I havent seen that combo before? What am I missing here? It is in a 2001 RD.. I thought CCRS had spring loaded pushrods, and was a year later? I wish I had saved the cam from the ASET-C I just finished yesterday to look at the back-cut on the cam. That's all I can think of.. Even though I have built many of these, every once in a while I have a question.. And MackVo is no help at all... Hell they dont even know what I'm working on anymore.. Since I found BMT, I don't mind asking question's, even if I should already know the answer by now... jojo
  14. its in the today's list... I was hoping to pull out a few laughs... B.T.W. I love the Ford truck!!!! keep it coming... One of these days Im gonna drive a couple hours north and say hello... Jojo
  15. I always check the Birthday list daily,, I would like to wish Miss. Sherry Stone a happy 138'th Birthday!!! You go Girl.... Jojo
  16. I also liked the brush strokes in the paint job... I have a truck with the same style of paint work.. Just blue and white... .. jojo
  17. Thats because they are running out of fabricated stories that depict the white man as a racist.. The problem is, that there is no shortage of idiots that believe them... So they can continue 'Wowing" their audience with lies... Just pick a topic, any topic... They can spin the lie into truth in a minute.. jojo
  18. did you remove the clutch arm from the fork shaft?? it needs to be be off... jojo
  19. Happy Birthday of The U.S.A. guy's.... America !!!! 'F' Yeah !!!!!! jojo
  20. I too have a bunch of parts, its getting smaller.. I had a bunch of old Ford car engine parts that I rescued from a bulldozer, I was able to sell a lot of it at a major Swap meet event near me, I sold them cheap, but they went to good homes, and not back to China in little pieces, only to be resold to us as new junk... I wish I could find a place to bring my 'core' parts.. I hate to trash them, especially because finding the replacement part was an effort.. jojo
  21. Thanks Paul, Happy Birthday to the United States of America..!!! 🎂 jojo
  22. was the radio replaced? i see the truck is new... but if you changed the radio, you have to tell the truck you changed it using P.T.T.,, maybe it just needs to be re-programmed.. jojo
  23. you may want to take it off, with care and box it up.. someone may want it and be willing to shed a few dollars.. plus you are not throwing hard to find parts in the trash as I still see guys do.. just a thought... jojo
  24. hey TJC... its an '09.. that means it s a Vulva..... He can use the 'magic wand' on the right side of the steering column to read the code.. of course it's a Vulva... He will still need to write the code down and look it up.... Of course it is a Vulva.. .. sorry, I may have not been clear here... jojo
