Great.. less involvment. Im afraid this is bigger than me. I have lost a lot of knowledgenon them over the years.. maybe Mack pro will see this thread..

M-drive tranny ?

I dont know if I can help you.. Ive been away from those Volvo's for a while now.. have you pulled any relays inside the top of the dash to see if anything changes? what were the most recent repairs? new starter??

yes it is,

Bob, you say that, but the reality of it now, is that the old days of knowing a good shop/mechanic by reputation is sliming down fast.. We now have to HOPE that the shop cares,, and add in that ALL parts are from China, or Mexico, Or Vietnam, and so-on.. It all sucks.. because the parts quality can make or break a good mechanic...

did the fused link in the battery box fail?

Left to right,, I was hoping there were some markings still left in the panel. The charts are not laid out like you would see in todays diagrams.. Sorry that I dont have a copy of the papers that would have been tucked in the fuse door pocket.. You may have to turn everything 'on' in the truck and pull the breakers one at a time to see what shuts off. at least you dont have 30 of them, only 12.. I'm tryin' bud..

very good picture. the flasher relay rigging is common, I sugest making #10 wire harness to neaten that up and lower the rish of shorting. There is a pre-made flasher harness for sale as well. I will look at my books in a bit, and see what I have..

if i remeber right the fuses and such had sticker type labels.. I went to Mack E-Media the other day to try to find it for you, and I failed.. I dont have diagrams for your truck either.. I'm sorry, this sucks.. Jojo

Damn Hippy... you are on a roll..

yep,, I struggle with correct answers when someone wants a wiring diagram for an 80's 'R' model.. I have worked on many of them, and have just followed the wires.. the arrangement is simple compared to the crap we have had during recent decades. i expect that the only wires in his right side door are for heated/moto mirror and the washer pump.. too bad the fuse panel diagrams are hard to find..

Honky,, I tried to find the diagrams but failed. What exactly are you needing to fix? the washer motor is in the right door with the tank. and you have a wiper knob in the dash that you push to wash.. i'm sure you can use a DVOM, set to ohms to find the circuit from the switch to the wiper fuse, and from the fuse to the pump.. Sorry I dont have better info.

if you have access to a Mack software program, you can change the governor setting from 'min-max' -to- 'all speed'. that can pep up how it takes off. I wish i hadnt lost what I used to know about the programming.. sorry bud.. These Mack engines are slow to go anyway..

I feel the same way. This is much bigger than some 19 year old on the roof.. they also creamated the kid, 10 days after... So why so quick, and for what ? And then Cornpop drops out, and a new Queen is appointed, and now all the high powered libs are coming out of the woodwork.. i watched a bit of the DNC, but it was unorganized, and ran late for me. I get up at 5:30 to go to work. I guess they are catering to young people who are up all night smokin weed.. anyway, i can go on and on..

I hoped you would find this one.. B.T.W. Live stock counts too.. I figure you have a few..

Its Mack's 6 th. Birthday today.. He 20 pounds and full of energy and love for Mommy and Daddy.. I was lucky to get this picture because he is so excited and waggin' his tail... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACK !!! https://photos.app.goo.gl/ypQ8yPpLAnEjvQ65A.. Please use this new thread to show your pets.. Its something happy to do.. Hope it goes a long time. Jojo

The long ones are likely silver metal with colored bands.. circuit breakers....

Mech? is it the same as an MH? I remember doing shift tower bushing replacements and u-joints.. I think I still know how to do it today.. been a while..

as far as oiling the shift tower,,,, It is splash lubed by the spinning gear sets.. are the ujoints in the shifter shaft sloppy? a little slop goes a long way.. my guess is there is 2 close to the tower on the tranny?

is there a panel on the passanger that has fuses behind it? also, does it have the accesory relay under the ashtray inside the center of the dash? I dont know how Aussie trucks are built, just picturing a U.S. truck looking in the mirror..

did you take the housing off? if not it takes patience, start one poin then work around left and right a bit, then go opposite and tap it in while keeping a hand on the seated portion. or.... stop, remove the seal and get a pc. of PVC pipe to make a driver... I have tapped many of them in with the small dead blow, so many I can use a metal hammer and gently seat it.. You'll be ok..

perfect,, hope I have the solution for you.

No, based on your experience.. (with respect) hopefully the seal has the flange that seats on the outside of the seal housing, ask for that one.. you do a good job of cleaning the area for the seal. and you can gently tap around it with a small dead blow hammer to seat it.. you can put a very thin bead of RTV on the leading edge of the seal to acta as a lube as well as a seal... DO NOT use so much that it gets into the seal lips.. once you seat it flush, it's done.. light oil lube on the yoke so it slids into the seal good, then torque the yoke down.. 550 lbft... If you choose to pull the seal housing, that's fine. the bearing will be exposed but wont drop on the floor. you will need the gasket.. once again,, DO NOT use a lot of RTV. just a light kiss on the gasket, too much will break the gasket... now installing the seal will require you to hold the housing down so you can install the seal.. a flat clean metal table gets it done. If you have an arbor pres you can gingerly drift the seal in place by hand... easy breezy... so you decide, now..

T-2180.... the output parts are common on many if not all 200's.. Ok Hienz,,,, do your thing.. Jojo
