ok.. gotcha.. well if I have any info you need in my books, I can take pics and send it through P.M. or text... jojo

the wires on the truck side of the plug tend to rot and break down.... a gentle tug of each wire up the harness in different spots may reveal a fray. hopefully it will just break and then you can fix it an roll on.. jojo

ok, how about the sensor in the lower left flywheel housing? around 8 O'Clock ?

Sweet... thanks for posting the fix... jojo

I dont know if this will help you, but I buy manuals from a website called: "My power manuals.com" (one word) I have about 12. all are engine books.. instant downloads, low prices, and I put them on 2 C.D''s and load them onto a laptop that is in my shop, then put the C.D.'s in a case in my office, in case I need them again.. good luck, jojo

ok, on the firewall may be a black ground breaker next to the starter relay.. I think you have bad ground or grounds

check the accessory relay in the dash, you should here a loud click when you turn the key on.. find that relay and clean and tighten the contacts... jojo

My guess is you have Robert Bosch electric injection pump.... If so.. when you are back to the yard, while it is idling, check the quality of the pins in the gray deutch plug on the governor housing by wiggling the plug and its wires at both ends. gently pull each wire as if you were trying to pull it out of the plug. I have seen many times were the pins get loose and sometimes, one will slide in the plug and barely be touching. especially if the plug has been repaired before or is not secured in the clips with zip ties... jojo

what does the tag on top of the front valve cover say? the part number starts with '11GBA'...... jojo

Been there done that,, at least I made a few people laugh... jojo

when you buy the injector 6 pack it comes with the correct cups. the engines head accepts them.. jojo

5/16"....... 3/8" would be great. jojo

here in N.C it's 2 years also, and they will suspend your liscence if you dont get the card re-newed.. I sleep with CPAP, so mine is 1 year.. even though I am not employed as a driver anymore. jojo

Mech. I know what you mean, and TJC.. drivers stare at their phones more than they do the windshield.. and if they are looking through the windshield, they are only looking over the edge of the hood.. I dont know why the "Smith system" is not taught anymore, Sometimes I wish they would post signs with the "Smith system" on billboards along the highway.. Not on one billboard, but on 5 individual ones so they arent trying to read all 5 at 80MPH... Mech. I have only a few years in a tractor trailer, running the East coast, I have driven through Hartford on I-84 about 100 times, on my route from (P.A. to Maine and back) maybe a bit less, dont remember,, but what I do remember is how many people changed lanes so often and would just go from left to right, or even right to left to grab the next exit, in a flash... and when the highway opened up to 12 lanes it still didnt seem like enough lanes... it's been over 5 years since I drove through there in my 4 wheeler.... and let's not forget I-290 in Worcester M.A. I always called it "The Worcester Raceway"... jojo

I wish I could remember how the air dryer is mounted on the Midliner.. If it's remote and not mounted to the tank, couldnt he just buy an AD-6 smaller air dryer and install it, then re-build the hoses, input/output, and route new ones? Just curious, and if this can be done then you will have a modern, easy to get parts for, air dryer... jojo

Im just glad my brain isnt 'washed'

yes and there is a primer that goes on the cups before install. Its good that you have the skills.. and the tools.. if you have access to 'Impact' you can print the book.. I did some years ago.. I myself stay away from these jobs in my business, because I do not feel comfy doing them outside of the dealership. and without PTT to check my work when its done... jojo

is it manual or auto shift? if it's a manual its probably an FRO 16 210C Metric.. the synchros grind during the range shift... if so, easy fix and not expensive.. make sure you replace both snap rings on the range fork shift rail.. and the drive hub on the main shaft coming out of the main box.. of course make sure the bearings are clean and re-useable.. if not, pull the tranny and send it to a re-builder.. jojo

1-4 should be ambient air temp 4-1 should be vss, speed sensor in the tranny output shaft.. correct me if i'm wrong... jojo

Can anyone tell me why we are advertising 'Turkish air lines ' on our mind sculpting T.V.'s??

you need to use a long 8mmx1.25 tap coated with grease to cut threads into the old cup then use a slide hammer to remove it. any loose threads that fall into the cylinder are expected to be burned up and spit out. there are 2 long wire brushes and a long stemed tool that accept's rollloc' brisstlebrush to clean the bores. there are also plastic cups to put in the injector bores to keep any debris including bristtles from the brushes from getting into the fuel galleries.. my point is... if you have not studied this procedure and do not have the tools to do it right.... you need to stop! do I need to continue with the whole procedure to remove/ and re-install the cam, and then the valve adjustment procedure? Jojo

yes you do... if you have copper cup's, the new kit will come with conicle cups and the injectors will have conicle seats.. do you have the Swagging tool to remove and install the cups? jojo

I like the challenge of driving backwards.. it takes skill and attention to ALL of youre surroundings.. I bet I can still get in a Mack and back it in... anyway, i'm just reminiscing... jojo

I remember back in 2000,, i had only been driving 2 years+,, I was driving a '79 R model with a 12 speed, and I also drove a '98 RD with an 18spd... I was so proud as a new driver, to be trusted with these machines.. We were doing a "Target Store " pre-load and service road... We had to back down the service road with our loads, and , no sh!t.. I payed close attention to backing, and could push those dump trailers all the way down that curvy dirt path, with little to no pull up's.. I was really proud of myself. to this day I always try to back into tight spots whenever I can. at that time I was leaving to go work at Maine Mack as "Mechanic".. one of the owners said that he was going to miss me, because, with my limited driving expereince, he said I was one hell of a driver... I left that full time job with my head held high. I decided to drive for them on my days off from Mack. Mostly what I did was site work, driving a 'yuke' truck/ cat wagon, and some small dozers and roller's.. I was very proud back then... I guess my point is... are the newbies proud of the incredible responsibility that they hold? Class 'A' means more than just the endorsement on the Driver's liscence... jojo

it certainly was a cool maneuver. If my Schneider driver trainer saw me scuff those trailer tires I would have been written up.. regardless if I docked right without hitting the other truck or anything else.. I love it... jojo
