  1. I doubt ECM... Check the condition of the fuse box under the center of the windshield. Fuse 40 is the ECM. Looks like you have an RD 688S... Also, when it's running, unplug the cam sensor, if it shuts off the flywheel sensor or wires are bad, if it stays running, plug it back in and unplug the flywheel sensor. If it shuts off, the cam sensor is bad... 2 simple steps that are FREE to do. If you would like, you can go to flywheel sensor wires and peel back the loom to see if the wires are damaged.. I have seen that a lot. Jojo
  2. I have never seen that kind of damage before.. Holy Crap..
  3. I wish I could drive that rig.. Sounds like a bunch of skill... I guess today, the driver just pushes his right foot closer to the floor...
  4. Ok, I thought we were talking about 4 valve engines... Sorry....
  5. if you have the old gray rubber gaskets or the black ones that are attached at the business end, , you can re-use them.. you will see how the crush on them makes them just a tick wider at the mating side.. You can flip them over, they will fit snug in the valve cover groove.. the cover bolts are shouldered so they will only go down so far before they stop... to me this is not a crappy way to do this, its just using both sides of them.. of course, you have to determine if they are to far gone for re-use...
  6. Yeah, as great of a truck the MR is, when they wreck, its a cab swap, unlike a tilt nose truck that needs a hood, and maybe a door, if one just lays over.. Its great that you have the skills to fix this one, Seems to me the insurance adjuster was not knowledgable enough for your claim.. Jojo
  7. it looked really good to me.. you guys busted your humps getting it road ready..
  8. I assume its E-7, with an electric governor on the injection pump.. check the contacts in the Deutch plug and the T.E.M. sensor.. what is the recent repair history? also,, check the front engine brake to see if it is stuck 'on' https://truckmanualshub.com/mack-truck-vmaciii-1998-fault-codes-list/
  9. its been over a year, I think... ive been curious too..
  10. so true TJC...
  11. Are MR cabs available in your area? Here they are all trash trucks.. and in rough shape.. Just curious..
  12. Busted !!!
  13. JoeH?? I was looking for the thread with your MR. I was curious how it is coming along.. Jojo
  14. Hey there Newbie.. Welcome to the Dog House... Lots of smart guys here..
  15. for what its worth... I cant tell you how many heads I have installed on Mack engines.. Its got to be around 100.. even when I do get to see the truck a few months or a year later, I would look for leaks, with the acception of an occasional coolant hose drip, here and there, all good.. Glad you guys agree.. Jojo
  16. lets not forget the 10 million new Biden voters that walked into our southern border..
  17. sorry Hippie... It's rigged... We All know it.. I truly hope I am WRONG!!!
  18. ok.. so I was reluctant to post what I do.. but terry opened the door.... 99 percent of the engines I have rebuilt were leaving the shop never to be seen again... (hopefully) ..... I would add 10 lbft to the head bolts... (E-7/E-Tech) 210-215 lbft. total torque, with a torque wrench, and knowing how the bolts feel.. ''you can feel it if it is to loose or getting too tight.. I have not had a report of a leak or other issue's with my wicked way
  19. so no Americans were released from Hamas today, but NBC news says J.B. is working on it.... Bull Sh!T...... He will pay big money instead of prisoner trade, just like when He paid gazillions for that Brittany Griener thing, who plays basketball... B.F.D.. Biden doesnt care about US... Real American's.. I bet he wins again next November...
  20. black smoke and hard starting... what does it do it with the C.A.C. boots off?? do you pump the hand primer to see if there is pressure on the fuel galleries? Jojo
  21. Thats a good one Brocky....
  22. Damned if I know..... does it keep re-producing in the fridge?? making more turkey to put in the freezer?
  23. that picture (of The Turkey) was on our local news today.. It is from L.A. California..
  24. Once again...... Oh My God !!!
