    Have you unhooked the air compressor intake pipe, to see if the noise is the compressor?

    Did voltage go up when it was running? In the past, when we had a major voltage drop, I would take a separate battery and ground it to the truck, then connect the positive to the EECU fuse socket, with the fuse installed. If the truck fired up, it would indicate a bad starter.. the starter was pulling too many volts.. as far as a miss, not sure yet, I assume valves were adjusted recently?

    I dont miss it either. I only ran I-81/88/90/80... and so-on for a little over 2 years.. I'm more of a mechanic than a driver..

    ok,, I guess I could have looked at my old Trucker's atlas to see where you are.. Actually, im going to get it and look, just because, Yes Mech,,,, I said ATLAS.. I dont need to use my phone to find you on the map..
  9. Joey Mack

    You Need to be careful Mech,, That Kung Flu can kill you.. Keep warm the best you can. I remember those winters,, have to go out every couple hours to move snow..

    It has a high cieling, but it is only 22'x40'... it suits me well.
  12. Joey Mack
    yes. pistons loaded and heads on.. I do a little bit after work as many days as I can, then on the weekends I do a bunch more. I dont have all the parts I need, so it is a slow process..

    Yep,, If I do my generator tank, I bet I will have to tie my el-cheapo mixer down, or maybe put my fork lift forks down on the legs, to keep it from flipping over.
  17. Joey Mack
    yep, Mrsmackpaul, posted a similar picture.. Looks like a good idea, I havent tried it yet, i have a small generator that needs this done..
  18. Joey Mack
    could be, but it looks like its parked on 2 different grades, look at the hump in the ground under the fuel tank.. still a cool truck..
  19. Joey Mack

  20. Joey Mack
    I like the 'R' models, and the RD, But I really like the DM. great group of trucks there.. Jojo

    yes, pull the valve covers, certainly wouldnt hurt to drop the oil pan. if you have lifter issues there will likely be bits in the pan. you describe the sound as a clicking. so it is not popping back into the intake or ''poof poof poof'' out the exhaust? is the oil level raising up, and /or is the oil diluted with fuel. you can do a simple 'halo' test on a piece of cardboard to see if the oil is diluted.

    it wouldnt hurt to check lash again,, have you ever run the rack on an ASET-I or C engine? Just curious.. It is not the same as Earlier Macks, Cat or John Deere, for example.. Jojo
  23. Joey Mack
    when was the last time valve lash was checked?
  24. Joey Mack
    Yes I did forget about the crayons,, I didnt use them much.. as far as a stethoscope goes, Yes I have one, but I actually use a long peice of 3/8'' car brake line to listen to the engine and so-on.. The temp gun is pretty cool, you can stand back and take temperature.. sorry Old Man but there are some neat ways to diagnose,,, i mean trouble shoot, issues.... I always chuckle when you post.. Jojo
  25. Joey Mack
    Did you use a stethoscope to locate the sound? Do you have an infrared temp gun to check the exhaust. Manifold per each cylinder?
