Joey Mack

I just looked in my V-MacIII book, and did not find a 291 modifier... jojo

the ABS rocker switch is under the dash, above the brake pedal. it is lit up in 'orange' if you can retreive the 2 digit codes, I can tell you what it is for.. What year/model/ engine series/tranny/? jojo

yeah Mech... you are right.. I know I posted this before, but... I tried to work for Mack again a few years ago... one of my co-workers, rolled the lap top cart up to a truck to diagnose why the headlights didnt work.. Of course I laughed and asked What the F are you doing?... he just looked at me and continued... of course, he was the favored 'tech'.... He got 'tech of the year' that year.... I played the game as well, but of course I fixed trucks.. I won tech of the month 7 out of 11 months, went to school and became a 'Master driveline' tech, and got tech of the year the next year.... Big 'F'n'Deal !!! I still wasnt good enough for a promotion, even though all the hi-up's asked me how to fix it, or 'what do i tell the customer'? and so on... What a waste of 10 years in the dealerships learning how to actually fix a damn Mack... anyway, ... jojo

interesting perspective.. JoeH... maybe thats why I have more work than I can handle. My body is beat up from the work I do,,, but there are very few that do what I do.. and I'm nothing special.... just nobody wants to fix trucks, they just want to plug a laptop in and tell you whats wrong.. anyway,, just chuggin along, jojo

I knew you would come through... TJC.. That beat's the heck out of any local news story I watched. no-one explained it better... Of course Newsmax does spell it out very well... You done good sir.... jojo

Can someone??? other than TJC,, tell me how? we have have a so-called increase in jobs by 430,000, and an un employment rate below .04%??? but everywhere I go, the business is understaffed due to lack of help, and any 'eatin' joint may have the dining room closed and it's 'take out' or 'drive through only'... ???? OK TJC... you can chime in... Still luv u... jojo

its common for drivers to unplug the buzzer, because it is loud and 'sounds' when the turn signal is on.. its annoying,, but also needs to be plugged in 'by law'' ,, just sayin, jojo

I my goodness.... I did something that almost got me killed.... (By my Dad)... I was (17),and working on my '69 Camaro, under the hood.. it was mid winter in Maine, the snow banks from the plow truck were very high.. While working under the hood, a tranny line burst and sprayed me and the engine with ATF. with the engine running, the fan blade threw the fluid up the snow bank, so , of course I had to have fun with this. I pulled my left hand inside my coat sleeve and went running the house jumping and screaming, " I just cut my hand off!!! "... My Mom found me and looked out the window to see the ATF sprayed up the snow bank, and she lost it!!!!.. when I pushed my ' perfectly fine hand' out of my coat, my Dad came after me and well,, He didnt see the humor in it.. Jojo

the shutdown buzzer is to the left of the clutch pedal on the triangular bracket below the dash .. under the area that has the oil pressure, water temp, and alt. gauges... jojo

dammit Bob.. that was a job!!!... god bless you man.................. jojo

hey Bob, I just had a thought,,, you commented on greasing palm's.. is bringing a big bag of breakfast sandwhiches to my local Mack parts counter, considered 'greasing' ? i hope so, i have done it dozens of times.. Luv U Man, Jojo

yes Onyx,, and my patience goes away, because I'm trying to repair this truck and put my customer back to work.... jojo

Onyx, it just seperated,,, no pressure on it or anything else... I have a new one coming, now to explain to my customer that MackVo may not warranty it.. I only had for 2 hours before I installed it.. $130.00 part... oh well,,, jojo

I had to get My mom, I mean My Wife to fix it for me... Here it is Onyx... jojo

I tried again... it wont load, only 2.3 mb, but its too big... WTF?? sorry bud... jojo

it is on top of the oil filter pad, above the centrimax.. 3 wires?? jojo

So heres a new one for me.... I just finished repairing a DPF in an '09 CXU.. I put a new Differential pressure switch on it... no sweat.. while I was finishing the installation , out of nowhere, the D.P.S. popped open.... it just separated itself.. .. I tried to load a picture but for some reason it wont load.. has this happened to anyone? it's my first.. out of dozens of these repairs... jojo

Hummm ??

yes sir,,, I have cut dozens of E-7's when I worked at Mack dealerships.. I have already cut an E-Tech here at my shop. I would like to read the procedure to do cat's and cummins,, the tool I have states that it will work for many' not all cats and cummins, I just need to buy the correct cutter plates and carbides.. thanks Glenn, jojo

hey Bob, I keep a tube of 'Palm grease' on my service truck... jojo

yes Hayseed,, you are right, my 3 kids are 'Pup's'' but they need me too.. thank you sir, jojo

Im sure this will work,, like i said before, it wont be a big money maker, but it will be another service, hell, i bet if I go to a company and cut the counter bores, i bet they ask me "How much to finish the engine"? that has happened before with other jobs i was a 'Part' of,. I end up finishing it because when they ask me about my knowledge and history, they say, 'why dont you just finish it for us',... just sayin'... jojo

Yes Mark, you are correct, I have several connections who have gotten work for me. and I have already spoken to a couple of them in my travels this week.. the more I think about it, the more im leaning towards word of mouth, referrals, and such.. The machine shop i use does not cut counter bores in big truck engines, so I will be talking to him when I pick up my engine parts.. maybe I could go there and do the cutting and they bill their customer,, jojo

ok,, for some reason I dont see that info, just his question with what looks like a typo.. thanks Onxy, I will set back and watch, I dont know about deletes.. :) jojo

ASET C is a totaly different harness. 3 plugs on the EECU, compared to 2 plugs on the ASET I.. cam is different, turbo, exh. manifold, EGR cooler, intake manifold, water pump, im sure I forgot some other differences.. i hope i understood the question correctly, seems like a 'typo' in the original post... jojo
