  1. if you havent pulled the cover before, let me know, i will walk you through it... 30 minute job.. jojo
  2. pull the dog house cover and switch the cam sensor plug with the flywheel sensor plug.. they are the same type.. If the truck runs good but sounds rattly that is probably what it is. I have been there before.. jojo
  3. I would love to see pic's.. I just recieved a Midliner book today. I want to fill my cabinet with Mack books.. jojo
  4. this is interesting... I have wondered what was done if an MP head was machined.. Because of the cam gear meshing in the back of the engine.. There is only .004" backlash allowed. so how would you account for that? thicker head gasket? I dont know, seems to me a new head would be the answer.. what do you think? jojo
  5. You put in a hell of an effort.. Been where you are a few times.. Good luck... Jojo
  6. Blacky,, you are responding to a 6 year old post.... what is your issue? To start, get a friend to look at the VGT actuator on the turbo. Then crank the truck and build up air pressure, you should see the actuator move, If not, got to the filter that is at the bottom of the engine on the left side in front of the starter... that little filter is for the turbo, and you need to be sure air pressure is there,,.. there is a small knob on the air lines at the fire wall near the steering column/shaft, it is the supply to the VGT controller.. jojo
  7. Yes JoeH it sure does... seen it a few times. Tappy, I literally bought a 2 camera security system from harbor frieght, and mounted it under the hood with one of thier cheap ass flash lights using their zipties, to watch the EGR valve on a series 60 14 liter detroit, to check EGR operation..... It worked!! I could watch the EGR valve operate as I drove the truck... I had the wires run into the cab, hooked the little screen to an inverter that plugged into the cig lighter plug, and away I went.. Jojo
  8. 373449358661 Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing. (E-Bay) this is a Mack book you may want to own.. $23.00 jojo
  9. Just to clarify, I meant the hand held gauge.. sorry... if there is a difference in boost readings from the dash gauge and the hand held gauge, then I would check the sensor.. and I see I posted that my test hose is 12 inches long, I meant 12 feet.. sorry again... sometimes I type too fast.. jojo
  10. Not sure what the negative is here.. Git 'r done.... Jojo
  11. if youre gauge shows proper boost, then I would look at the sensor and the wiring.. these EECU's are very sensitive and also piece's of SH!T... jojo
  12. ok... so.... is the boost issue, something you are seeing on a dash gauge? or is it in a test screen on a computer? may I suggest putting a pressure gauge into the intake manifold. I believe there is a small square headed plug in the intake manifold. install a long hose there with a gauge on the other end and take it in the cab with you and go for a drive.. I have one made up with a 12" hose so I can do just that.... jojo
  13. It's all good.. There are some really smart people here.. I feel like Vlad from Russia will know the answers, and Glenn, Hell there's too many to list.. theres a bunch from Canada too... you'll see.... jojo
  14. This is on an '87 superliner, behind the right steer tire... jojo
  15. unfortunately, I have little to no knowledge on this model, just know where it is on newer Macks
  16. I did see that he has a passion for Asian food... His favorite dish is : Cream of Sum Yung Gy. and a Poo Poo Platter is alway's a hit. jojo
  17. thats where I buy my mack tools
  18. yes. as long as it seals to the coolant filler neck.. the fluid will change color if exhaust is detected.. yellow or purple.. just follow the directions... jojo
  19. any chance the full vin is stamped in the right frame rail in front of the cab by the steer tire?
  20. is the primer pump leaking when you prime it up?
  21. Damn... I get it.. shit happens.... jojo
  22. at the least I reach into the truck and check the shifter to see if its in nuetral, especially on freight shakers, like the one thats in my shop today, because the key is in the bottom left corner and its easy to just stick the key in and crank while standing on the ground.. so i reach in and push the stick to be sure.. jojo
  23. I saw that, just wanted to have a laugh... jojo
  24. or at the least a broken right hand... ouch!! jojo
