All good in my wifes truck, clean as a whistle. My old Heavy Chevy has some sludge but no debris or silver dust.. -
Oil sample results /low oil pressure
Joey Mack replied to Lmackattack's topic in Engine and Transmission
I was just in my shop.. I cut some of my oil filters to check the health of the oil, and I thought I would post this. I bought this cutter on Amazon for around $35.00.. May I suggest getting one..

Mech, central N.C. may be a good fit for you... Just sayin'..

when I was a pumpkin driver, the last truck I had was an old western auto parts, Int. cab over. cummins / 9 spd. not governed.. it was a 75 mph truck... however, it has a 24'' sleeper and a dog house.. i used to kick the shifter when I changed my pants in the cab.. too funny.. anyway, i think they called it a ''coffin'' sleeper.. dunno...

that seems good for an older engine. heck 17+(low idle) on some E-7's that are at work all the time was common.. I say... leave it alone.. I also look forward to other opinions, and I may learn something .. jojo -
Electronic Malfunction Light
Joey Mack replied to mcotter's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
That post is 8 years old.. just letting you know.. -
The fuse panel in the cab, right side
-
Dumb Me..... I see the outline of the cab where the hood comes down.. R model it is..
-
That is the starter relay, the ground breaker is all black and looks like the starter relay. Look on the fire below the center of the windshields. Is this truck a CH or CX?
-
Not sure for the front ones.. I wouldn't mind knowing. Sorry, Jojo
-
Batteries, the block ground in the picture, the ground breaker on the firewall (I have replaced these a few times), the ground behind the instrument cluster, the ground next to the fuse panel, the starter,
-
What is the condition of the engine harness? I read this back to last year, and didn't see where you checked all the grounds. I like the procedure for a 9-2 code. It points towards the grounds..

do you really have to ask,,?? dessert after the MEAL.
-
Hmmm....... I think I would eat that
-
MACKS,, Its not that great.. when the rotors are bad, the cost per wheel is very high.. I wish I could remember one that I did years ago.. I'm thinking $800.00 per wheel.. not including things like calipers, bearings or syn. gear oil if needed, air lines and such, based on how the failure occurred..
-
Yep,, a girl like that would be pretty pricy, and the maintenance cost would be through the roof..
-
Yep, and the tool set for M-Drives is very expensive. We had to buy it, however, we were not allowed to repair the main box. We had to send it out as a core and install a new reman box. So the tools just sit there on the shelf
-
Mech, grade gripper replaces the driver using his trolley as a hill holder.. just more crap.
-
as far as cam bushings goes... the hub has to come off, which will need a wheel seal and bearing inspection... this aint no nickel and dime job if you want good brakes, and find worn bearings.. yes it gets costly, but not stopping short enough and hitting another vehicle, is also costly.. yeah, a bit dramatic... however... he did post a question about 'brakes'...
-
Frieghtliner used long strokes on drives in the early 2000's or so.. I have seen them often on trailers, frameless dumps in my case.. its not rocket surgery. just do like Mark said to set them up.. I have also installed some that had long push rods with short threads,, specific to the trailer.. as far as going passed 90 degrees,, to me that is related to brake shoe wear, and s-cam bushing wear. jojo

In the 18 years I have lived in central N.C. ... It has snowed less here (total in 18 years) than in any individual big storm I saw in Maine. Sometimes I miss the big storms, but when i was living there it was like having a part time job, just moving snow.. If it happened here now 8''+ it would just be fun to play around in it.. anyway,,, Just pokin' some fun... jojo
