I assume you are watching the engine temp gauge...? jojo

turn the A/C off and see if it still does it... Keep in touch, and welcome aboard!!! jojo

R.E.D. I hear ya... I agree with you.. as long as PAI and others keep making good quality parts, and guys with the knowledge to fix them still exist, you should be good for a while.. I have a lot to learn, but I do hope to be a Mack Doctor some day.. jojo

yes they all have their issues,, I guess, to me broken crankshafts, baffle me... jojo

zero movement on a Mack rear end yoke.. jojo

I just talked to a guy today, who own's a 2016 T-880, CX 15 cummins.. at 275,000. miles the crank broke. it was a warranty repair,, But WHY?? All that went through my mind was,,, E-6/E-7/even E-Tech.... + 12.7 Series 60, 3406 Cat. A Million Mile's,,,, no sweat... $200k trucks, and no longevity built in.. anyway,, jojo

I'm a self employed 'White Man' (Sole Proprietor) I aint got sh!t.... Its better for me to pay as I go,, I'm greatfull for 'Pro Med' $120.00/ walk in,, Wal-mart for cheap scripts... Of course, when I use these services.... I'm paying for it,,,,, but I wait in-line behind Mexicans that dont speak english.... I wonder what their cost is???? F.J.B.

assume only that blinders were worn when the work was done.. On the back of the rear end housing is a 5/8" square plug... that is where you check and fill the level........ When the carrier is replaced, you fill the power divider first, (Front rear only) then the side cover (top reduction) then the 'bowl' rear plug... fill til they spill.. the rear rear has only 2 fill spots... the side cover first then the rear plug.... jojo

Jesus Christ... good luck ,,, jojo

how about taking it apart carefully, and cleaning the dust out of it, and inspect the soldered connections on all of the resistors and capacitors and diodes, and such, and if any look brown to black, re- solder them in place... I have a silly little rechargeable soldering tool that i got from amazon for $40 bucks.. also check the plug ends for loose connection's, and make sure there arent any broken pins in the sockets on the back of the circuit board.. you may just fix it and save $1200.00.... what do ya think?? jojo

dammit bud,,, welcome to Volvo's world.. I have been telling my customers to save all of the old hard to find parts that they pull.. I have a few but no where near what I want to have... .. as far as the cluster,,,, what is the issue? have you taken it apart to see the issue? jojo

i made one out of a 1/4 fender mounting bar.. I burnt a hole in the middle for 5/8" threaded rod, I had a few cut offs from brake chambers to use as the jack screw and didnt care if it got messed up... i use the old u-joint straps to hold the bar in place... and then,,,, 'git'r done'.... a, 3lb hammer does help to get it to break loose.. just like Onyx said... I know all to well about the rust up north.. My oxy/acet. bill down here is very low.... jojo

How about pre filling the oil filter, fill the engine til its in the range, count your qt's.. crank it , run 1 minute, let sit for 10 minutes and top off, keep track of what you put in.. easy breezy... jojo

ok.... push up on the drive shaft, if it moves, locate the movement, loose yoke bolt is possible. pull the yoke and then the seal cover.... inspect the yoke for a groove around where the seal rides.. if it has a groove, buy a yoke, speedy sleeves are hit or miss.. replace the seal, and the gasket behind the cover. get a new yoke bolt, 3AX1803,, and torque to 500 lbft... install a new u-joint strap kit... they are cheap,,, around $10 buck's.. top off the oil, and you should be done with this issue... stay in touch.. jojo

so you have a duetch connector on the back of the injection pump, and not a pull stop to shut it down?? jojo

I just replaced the 'Z' springs on a CXN last week.. Repairing that suspension is easy on your back, but not so easy on your wallet... definately keep the u-bolts tight.. during a walk around, you can hit them with a hammer... if they ring out, they are tight, if they 'thud' they are loose.. just a quick way to stay on top of them ... jojo

75W90, synthetic is what it was born with.. 'F' is right again... jojo

Gotcha,, BOB. I'm good.. I will, just take my time to find the place for me.. I have a new customer scheduled for Monday.. Plus I have to go back to the construction company soon, to pull an E-7 Mechanical, out , and bring it home to re-build it.. I need to get back to my re-build room project, but my wife had shoulder surgery yesterday, so i'm by her side all day today.. anyway, thanks bud,, jojo

I like the SPOTTO.. Just sucked, at this one... jojo

Here's a small way to start the anti progressive's campaign... Have a "Keep Brittney Griner "... Rally.. Seem's to me the only time she ever got on her knee's ,,, was to protest our great Country... Well,, Maybe she can get on her knee's, and ask for forgiveness.. I guess one benefit for her now, is that she won't hear our National Anthem... Unless of course the Russian jail, play's it over and over in her 'cell'.. Hell, she might ask for a firing squad after that.. Problem solved.. Where else in the world, can the Great,, Great,, Great,, Great,, grand daughter of a slave, become an Olympian and a Millionaire.. ( I dont know if 'she?' comes from a slave) It is just the standard cry from her kind.. God Bless America...

The Progressive curse of the Biden Klan, is once again showing itself here in Salisbury N.C. Our city built a really nice park and ampitheater, with beautiful landscaping and a waterfall, and such. It's very nice.. It's been open since last October.. There is a group of 'Vets' that stand on the corner, right where a civil war statue was removed last year.. They are waving American flag's, trying to get our city to install a flag pole and fly OUR flag.. The news channel says the city is reviewing the "Issue" What issue????.. The crazy thing is that on June 25th. They held a rain or shine "Pride Event" with many rainbow flags-a-flyin.. They had that event scheduled for months in advance... I say put up a flag pole where the Civil War statue used to stand... Right on the end of the median that divides the road.. I pray for the day that this Progressive B.S. ends soon,,, Jojo

No scrap yard.... 👍

What trucks are you looking to put engines into?

Good question... I just posted on another thread, that I am Building a rebuild room on my shop.. If the money is there, I would consider buying a core engine from DEX. (30 minutes away) and rebuilding it to resell.. I expect ,E-Techs will be abundant, but would also like some E-7s to build.. I have almost all the essential tools to do those engines... Jojo
