  1. if this was done by an axle repair company, then it should be a replacement spindle that is inserted into the axle housing, (rear or trailer).. if you see 2 plug welds about 6 inches back, I would say its an insert.. they typically cut the bad spindle of, then machine the tube, before fitting the axle insert, they also drill 2 holes in the tube if there is not a set bolt, then they weld it as shown, then plug weld the holes to the insert.. if this is just a butted up weld,,, dont use it.. like the other guys said.. jojo
  2. they have several functions. some signal the lights some the cruise control, some the air gauges, some for the low air buzzer, this is what you need to study and learn about... I suggest Ebay for a book. or find a svc manual download.. sorry bud.. i hope an MR Guru shows up to help you... jojo
  3. because I suck at MR's... i would be opening that panel, exposing the air switches, fill the air tanks , and mash the brake pedal, than loosen 1 air switch at a time till I found the ones that have pedal pressure on them.. if its a leaker,, put the shop compressor on it if running the engine is too noisy... just saying... sometime I have to be a boyscout if i dont know the truck by 'heart'..... jojo
  4. gosh,, i have forgotten a lot about MR's.. is there a bank of air switches above the pedals? I'm sorry.. i think there are also air switches in the center console.. the intermittent issue to me is a loose connection rather than a pressure switch.. jojo
  5. Destroy Back Worse..... Isn't that the name of the Economic plan? I may be wrong, let me check my note's... I'll have 'My People' get back to you... jojo
  6. yes and the EPDM behind the panel next to the clutch pedal,, jojo
  7. the fluctuation at idle, may be the fuel pressure regulator.. I cant tell if one was installed, also did you have a 3-2 or 3-4 code? jojo
  8. Glad you posted the issue.. sorry that its gonna cost so much.. Jojo
  9. in the box under the hood is the fuse for the ecm. #40 or 41... typically in the middle of the middle row. there is also an accessory relay next to the fuse panel in the cab, it looks like a black square cube, I dont remember the # of the socket.. when you say speed sensor's, do you mean the crankshaft and the cam sensor's? jojo
  10. do you have a huge turbo and the stainless steel pipe that goes over the top of the engine? that pipe has 2 probes in it.. jojo
  11. I have to go now..
  12. I dont support deletes, they only cause big trouble later,, and I still dont know what engine you have.... aset-c or aset-i??? not enough info,and dont know what you are trying to accomplish...
  13. it is in the EECU, PTT is used to go in and check codes, do diagnostics/repairs, and you set the governor there as well....
  14. fuel filters, re-run the valve's, change governor setting to 'allspeed'.. if you have the big turbo, make sure the VGT actuator moves properly, replace the air filter for the VGT... clear out all MID128 codes... jojo
  15. I would re-run the rack..... Start on #1, and DO NOT deviate from the way Mack lays it out... Did you set the bridges to .010"? do you have an engine brake? lash on that will be .017" or .021" if it was updated... jojo
  16. I'm glad you found that funny, DCW... I didn't know how to describe the balloon fart noise that we made as kids..... Dang'it.... I think I just did.... jojo
  17. we have radiator repair shops that can fix'em ,, jojo
  18. maybe there was a PM, and this thread is the outlet... glad no ones mad at me. Im a softy... jojojojo
  19. 'F' has good points, that squeal can sound like letting air out of a balloon, by pinching it off with youre fingers... I hope I painted a good picture of what I mean... jojo
  20. It would make a heck of a service truck, but, I would rather be at a campground with it, sittin by a fire talking to all the curious people who want to see it.. I would be proud to have that one... jojo
  21. here is another one of my crazy thought's.... since it wont do it sitting still, while it is sitting still, turn the heater fan on high, turn the headlights on high and what ever else you have that pulls hi amps, and rev it up.... if it squeals, maybe you have an issue with the alternator.. hell i dont know,,, jojo
  22. can you post the make, model, and year, as well as the engine, in the case it's not a Mack..
