Like I said.... It is something simple.. these systems are good.. most times it's a relay, or poor connection.. I'm glad it is fixed.. I figured it was a relay... Jojo

I'm glad that my suggestion is working for you.. It aint a rig job, it's gettin the job done.. Starter buttons dont require a computer to give it permission to work... keep in touch, there are many really smart guys here that will help you, with ease... Jojo

yep, typically, you have to have a 13 or 18 spd. tranny, and 200 series carriers... if it is a Mack drive line. The 400 is a great setup. I drove a few of them in a construction environment, 22 years ago, and that RD tractor had an 18 speed tranny, and it would out pull the newer (at the time) 427's.. Maybe set the governor setting to all speed to improve throttle response... jojo

I would expect it to be much better.. you went from a 10 spd. controlled by a computer, to a 13 spd. controlled by you... Perfect.... jojo

good deal...

sad but true...

I know that I have no knowledge on how to make a 'delete' work.. because, I learned years ago, the creators of these ECM's, knew what they were doing... They are fully tied into the Govt. branches that control this "green" bull shit.. A lot of guys hear thing's on the C.B. or social media, that they can get 100+ HP, with a delete.. But what they don't know is that the people that built these ECM's.. already knew that guy's were going to try to get around the rule's... and they put fail safe's or whatever in the ECM's... I truly understand what truckers are trying to accomplish, but... it aint gonna happen... Just buy a real truck, and rebuild the engine, and tranny if needed , replace the rear end oils, and go on and make the money. I know it's easy for me to post this, but i'm right.... correct me if i'm wrong.... anyone... correct me.... jojo

I'm sorry, but I'm leaning towards workmanship... and I also think that it is programming after he said, the head replacement and cam timing is good... So, Dirtymilkman.. is likely correct...

I'm sorry if I steer you wrong,, i am trying to pull this out of my ass.. Your truck is old enough where there should be an easier solution, unlike the shit we see after 2003+.... jojo

on top of the transmission...on the shift cover... Im sorry that i cant just pull it out of my a$$.. jojo

is there a torque limiting switch and/or a setting in the EECU?

once again,,,, you find the Funny... You and GADave got this dialed in... Jojo

Your thought's are well thought out.. jojo

Yes 'V' my first thought was a sticking engine brake or a bad VEBC.. I was not sure about the turbo affecting it while idling. What is your thoughts on the turbo affecting it at idle, since the turbo is not working at that time.. please correct me if I'm wrong.. jojo

Best of luck to you....Let us know how it goes.. Many guys on here have deleted trucks, and you may be able to help someone with your expereince's... jojo

I have some great news.. A few days ago I posted that our City of Salisbury N.C. had an issue with putting an American flag in our new public park. "Bell Tower Green" . The Issue was created by those in charge of the new park.. Well on Wednesday, 50 people met with the city council, and had expressed themselves eloquently. I read the very long article in our news paper, and the meeting was respectful and to the point.. So while we poke fun and at times cuss out our king on this thread, I wanted to post a happy ending to a crappy story.. We are getting an American Flag in our new public park... BTW, the council vote was unanimous. God Bless America.. Jojo

yes sir.. Just tossing out some thoughts.. I know these MP's are sensitive to any repairs, and then you have t do a 'learn data reset' and update the software in the ECU.... Yes, codes should be present.. It hurts to see all the money being spent and the problem still exists. I wonder if he was able to calibrate the VGT actuator for the new turbo, even though it came with one, didnt we have to remove it and set it with that little plastic gauge,? jojo

with the lighting bolt 'on' turn the cruise control 'off'... the push the reset button down and count the flashes. run through them twice to be sure you got all of them.. have a pen and paper ready, then come back here and we will tell you what the code/s are for for.. jojo

what model and year,,,, 'R/RD' have sticky pedals and treadle valves...

the head was off, is the cam timed correctly?

Yeah I kringe when I see good stuff get destroyed for fun.. i guess because i wish i had the money to buy them, rebuild them, and sell them to someone who needs a new engine.. but... to each his own.. Just my crappy opinion... jojo

I like the '64.. my high school friend had one.. I loved the 3 sticks for the tranny and transfer case, his had 'dualmatic hubs' it was a tough truck, for a 4 banger.. not fast just tough...

you are too kind.. I would love to see other guys post their kick ass shop stuff.. Hell I dont care if they making clocks or bird houses, or whatever,,, just .... well... whatever.. Jojo

sorry, I actually watched it from this post.. Hmmm ..thanks for the compliment.. jojo

more boring pic's Onyx... 2002 Rd In-frame.. Last July.. I like to paint them as I go, to me it looks professional. Of course it need's to run professionally.. just sayin' jojo
