    Full tank pressure, 90+ when the truck is low on air, flip the range button while you build air pressure. when the T.P.V. gets above 85 psi, you can here the range clutch shift. jojo

    So after doing an inframe re-build, with another cam and re-man heads, and a PAI engine kit.... She purrs like a Dog!!! we had some delays due to parts availabilty, so if any of you out there are planning on rebuilding/ repairing youre 'not very old' Mack.. do as much parts searching as you can before 'downing' the truck... on this one, the center exhaust manifold was cracked and Mack said, none til October.... I searched for a week and found nothing... then I just told him to take the manifold off his '96 E-7 and bolt it on for now.. It fit perfectly, without modifying the oil tube or rotating the turbo,,, Joey

    do you have 2 buttons on the front of the gauge panel? if so... are the rubber boots missing allowing dust to get in the buttons? I assume that this is a road truck and not a dump truck since its a CXN... but anyway, try to clean the gauge panel with dry compressed air, I suggest removing the cluster to do this... its easy to do.. jojo

    I bet the stupid mack valve is stuck, or the cable clamp is loose or gone and the cable is bowed. have you looked at the heater line to see if the valve is stuck?

    Pull the rear shift cover with the air line's, and inspect the fork and rail for a loose set screw and of course any other damage. It sounds to me that, the truck was low on air pressure, and when it came up, the range clutch tried to engage, and ground itself a bit.... mabey it's just stuck between ranges, not saying it's not 'hurt'... jojo

    Man that is a first for me 'here'... my gut said it was to good to be true, because I have been searching for over a week, and I have many contacts to call. I also P.M.'d him and did not get an answer.... My customer is loosing 'daily' quad axle dump truck pay because of these B.S. parts issues.... and a scammer is nothing but a roadblock. I stopped looking because I thought I was about to buy one from him... I'm tempted to put an E-7 manifold on it and modify the oil return under the turbo... hell cut it and put a hose on it like an E-7.... Thoughts please???? Jojo

    I just had another thought...... Is the cab rusted under the valence panel below the wind shields? look at the underside of the panel , the best you can..... its only about 8 T-25 screws to pull it off, just keep a check on the washer hoses... no biggie... jojo
  13. Joey Mack
    OK.... door seals?

    It will read V-Mac II.. how 'bout this??? when the lightning bolt is 'on'..... V-Mac III, you can pull the codes. (cruise control only... Lightning bolt is on..?? Turn cruise control off..... press the cruise speed control down for 2 full seconds an count the flashes. 'pay attention'! bring a pencil and paper.. there will be 2 set's of flashes. write it down, ie: (8-2.... #2 E.U.P. ) my point is, it's easy... cycle the button until the codes repeat... Be patient.... once you have written the code's, just look it up on the web... there is a bunch of free downloads, that you can print... Been there, done That!! Jojo

    the 454 is fine... 2002-2006, have ceramic lifters... they work well, but can not handle any shock, when one breaks, the cam lobe will be destroyed in a flash... jojo

    Can you please post a picture of the exhaust manifold?
  17. Joey Mack

  18. Joey Mack
    Any luck? Jojo

    I am looking for the center piece of the exhaust manifold for an ASET-I engine, Mack's part number is: 104GC5213M.. I believe an E-tech one is the same, Jojo

    Has anyone suggested a new gear selector assembly, I have replaced a few of them.... truth is, when i did that, its was a guess and twice it didnt work.. any chance you have another truck or a friends truck that you pop the selector out and test yours??? long shot.... These are tough issues to fix without P.T.T. As a mechanic it Chaps my Ass.... stay with us and the answer will come. Jojo
  21. Joey Mack
    there should be a "Fuse link" in the batt. box.... its a short/seperate cable that goes to the frame. it's aground breaker... I'm pretty sure I'm right, they will dissable the truck when they fail.
  22. Joey Mack
    DM's Kick Ass!!!!!! I have driving the same truck, and they just WORK.... I would buy a DM in a heartbeat....
  23. Joey Mack
    have you tried to jump the celenoid at the starter with the key in the run position? then you can take it in to get the TCM flashed...
  24. Joey Mack
    so when you turn the key, the starter doesnt engage? or does it turn over but not 'fire'? theres so many things that can cause this,,, chaffed wires on the tranny harness, fault codes, PTO issues, too many sensors!! can you plug in and test/ read codes/ etc.? good contact at the starter? jojo
  25. Joey Mack
