So that's $8.57 USD/gallon... jojo

I was hoping you would post on this..

I beleive there is a campaign on this issue.. I replaced a few of them because the 'clutch' if you will, wont grab.. If I remember right, the whole frame around the steering column is replaced as a unit, cable included.. there afre a few ways to post pics, I would just e-mail the pic to myself then drag and drop it into my post.. my suggestion is to reduce the size of the file to Kb's, so that you dont use all of your data quota in a hurry... i made that mistake, and now I cant post pictures any more.. Jojo

I read the original post again. I was curious about the evap core freezing up if it is not draining good. A faulty pressure switch is highly possible. On some earlier Mack/Volvo's, I have gotten stumped by a bad compressor, because I wasnt familiar with the internal clutch type compressor. I replaced a control panel because I thought all issues pointed towards it, I was wrong. I guess I would do a pressure switch.. good chance its a simple issue, since you said the system has never been opened up.. keep in touch,, jojo

Mike, have you put a gauge on the oil gallery to see if oil pressure is good and stays good? jojo

and then look inside the sensor plugs (sensor side) to see which one(s) is feeding the wires.. jojo

To check for air in the fuel on an MP, there is 2 ways. Commonly, you hook a long clear line with a banjo fitting on one end that fits correctly to the banjo bolt on the fuel return, located at the front of the head behind the lifting eye. Then you run it back into the filler neck of the tank and submerge it into the fuel, run the engine and look for bubbles/suds.. and there it is.... another setup has you hook to the fuel filter pad, on the left side of the engine, unfortunately, I forgot which port you hook too. once again, a clear hose with the correct banjo fitting on one end. jojo

my guess is the liners with the orings near the top of the liner. Mack did away with them when the E-Tech came out. I dont remember them in the first E-Tech's, but maybe.. I know I built a few E-7's that had them and the new liner kits did not... Of course I have only built about 30 of these engine's, so I really haven't seen it all yet.. jojo

warranty would be great, but I think its 1 year on non-driveline parts. now if an extended warranty was purchased, that may help, but 3 years is a lifetime with this new junk, and Volvo, wont pay for it. jojo

I guess, my idea was to get quality used parts, via UPS or FED-EX.. I am lucky to have them close to me. I wish others would buy engines from them for me to build.. jojo

https://dexheavydutyparts.com Joe H .. look them up. I have an E-Tech engine in my shop that belongs to a customer from Missouri. He bought it from a location 30 minutes from me, I went and picked it up, and I am re-building it.. They have a boatload of parts.. Good luck, jojo

do you have a "Dex" company in you r area?

I hoped you felt that way.. thanks 67... jojo

Paul.... I wish that a few of my customers, werent so concerned about lookin good.. I have charged more money for labor for LED's and Chrome than I should have.. I tell them... Let me fix it to D.O.T. compliance.. (Our Law dog's) here in the state's.. I have one guy that paid me $1500.00 to put light's, stack's ,and Chrome on his W900L.. But it needed that money put towards the F'd up lighting harness's and a fan clutch, and gaskets, and so on... Am I on the same page with you sir? jojo

I just laugh... All these pro abortion folks at the capitol with signs saying "My Body My Choice" Where were those sign's when we were forced into the Kung Flu Bull Sh!t ??? We should have had choices that should have been easy, but no... we were forced into submission, and many people lost almost everything because of it... It's obviouse to me that 'killing' people is easy for a progressive lib... Lord help us... jojo

our country hit the floor in January 2020... and we can't get up.... Joe Biden's clan is the reason.... I'm not well educated, Just smart.... jojo

Boost leak??

well, so far, I have been able to raise my hourly rate, $15.00... I just priced a 30# cylinder of, R-134a today.... My acct. at NAPA... $340.00.... it doubled.. jojo

So my guess is that there is no water dripping from the drain tray, on to the ground?? You say the evap. core is clean and the filter is good? What is the history on repairs to the A/C sys.? Do you need a new expansion valve? is the Dryer saturated? it should have a sight glass on it to check condition... Now.... If this is a R1234y, lgbtq+ sytem,,, I may have wasted our time... jojo

Hello Len. I was wondering what the maximum amount of shim's is allowable, after cutting the counterbore in an E-Tech? I havent found any info on this.. joojo

Well Our king just sent 90 Howitzers, and 80,000 rounds,, or was it 18,000? i just forgot.. To Ukraine.. I guess he is trying to arm the world with our weapons. I bet he sends some to N. Korea, and Iran next. I think China has plenty.. Afghanistan, got a bunch from us... oh well.. This is an insane time in our countries life. jojo

?

So true J.J.N............ jojo

I agree, but havent figured a reasonable price. I told 2 of my customers that I was going up to $80/hr.. one said, (yesterday) yeah for your new customers, the one today told me "You can go ahead and pick up your tools now" . I finished my work and left, at $65/hr.. but I had a helper to pay today.. I guess I need to make them sweat.. no-one does house calls to do what I do around here.. the cust. I saw today is having me re-build the hendrickson haulmaxx suspension, and all wheel bearings and such, repair 2 lift axles, and set up the air brake system in the rear. he is converting a Pete 357 from a mixer to a Quad dump truck.. they did hang the lift axles, but need me to do the rest of it, before, sand blasting and then the body company installs the body.. I may do the wet system, but if I cant get paid good, i'm out.. jojo
