  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. we have radiator repair shops that can fix'em ,, jojo
  5. maybe there was a PM, and this thread is the outlet... glad no ones mad at me. Im a softy... jojojojo
  6. '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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. can you post the make, model, and year, as well as the engine, in the case it's not a Mack..
  10. you rekon you have a squealing center bearing.? jojo
  11. hell glenn, his is all mechanical.. he can just stand there and rev it up... jojo
  12. hell yeah, I bet I can build that engine for that much or less if you go all PAI, parts.. jojo
  13. just for kicks, is the crank pully worn out? I have replaced a few of them due to wear, and a couple of them were splitting.. However, MarkT makes a good point... jojo
  14. if its thick enough so that when you clamp the cover down, it takes a bit of effort, then,,, well there you go... I would buy a few of them and put them on the shelf.. jojo
  15. you got this, bring it with you incase they dont know what it is, and you can use thier tape measure and look on thier screen to show them what you want..
  16. did you cross reference it on the webb? jojo
  17. Awesome!!! you go 'Boy Scout'!!! jojo
  18. so to be clear is it fixed now? if so, my guess would be that you improved a connection when you plugged things back in... jojo
  19. dude,,, I lived in Portland Maine for 20+ year's..... Its the San Francisco of the east coast... jojo
  20. 🤮... I am certainly not a vision of fitness, but ..... REALLY?????? jojo
  21. I am building one now that had 1.2 M on it, it was a running engine, but it was 'Time' I have seen abused E-Techs with near 1M on them, still running.. but 'Crystal ball's" are on back order right now, so, use youre best judgement.... how much is the truck? jojo
  22. in general, that truck is rock solid. of course no one really knows how long it will live.. If the maintainence is as good as you say, then just 'run-it' send the oil out for analysis. keep good filters on it, change the oil more often, replace the coolant if it old, replace the thermostat, check valve adjustment. as far as what you would get out of the truck, did you mean ; miles/use? re-sale price? jojo
  23. I love this!!!! your helper's are awesome... jojo
