    The truck was built with a 400, so that is likely what it will have unless it was changed afterwards. As for power, the easiest route I've heard on this forum is installing an exhaust manifold from an ETECH motor to restrict it less, and a better turbo. I think that includes an ECM tune as well. There's a whole post that has more info than that, I'm sure someone can link you to it.

    Impact shows AI-400 ASET, so pretty similar to Lmackattack's truck in setup at least.

    I call it a late first shift, I'll be clocking out shortly. The pictures were for a daycab.

    1990 CH613

    Yes, a dealer should be able to give you a diagram of the exhaust piping on your truck. The only VIN I have saved for a CHU of similar age is a '97 with dual stacks, see below.
  6. The Heinz
    Definitely power steering, that's what any of the modern Macks/Volvos use.
  7. The Heinz
    That happens a lot surprisingly. We had a rash of brand new Macks coming in with dirt daubers clogging the axle vent tubes. You won't believe how hard it was to convince Mack that was causing the issue.
  8. The Heinz
    I don't know if any of them are better than the other, I don't think there was much difference between them.
  9. The Heinz
    22700131 is the number for the upper seat bushings, 22700132 is the lower seat bushings. The lowers are available, uppers are not unfortunately, with not a single dealer in Canada or the US showing any in inventory.
  10. The Heinz
    It'll be a 680, possibly a 680B.
  11. The Heinz
    It's like an unnecessarily complicated Z-Spring Air Ride, I've never seen nor heard about this before.
  12. The Heinz
    No, Atro has nothing for these bushings. They look similar to steer axle spring pins, see the picture below... ALL of them look like that, are on a national backorder, and have no aftermarket available. That sucks.
  13. The Heinz
    Oh, I've never seen that before... I've heard the V-Ride be called twin Y before so that's why I went off on it, let me see what your VIN pulls up.
  14. The Heinz
    As for seeing if there's aftermarket, I'd need at least the last six of your VIN. There have been differences in these suspensions that would lead to different part numbers.
  15. The Heinz
    Known as the V-Ride or M-Ride depending on if it's installed on a Volvo or Mack, it's the one with the super expensive V-Rods. Someone here called it an imitation camelback, which I'd have to agree. The camelback doesn't have a TPI on how to "improve" the V-Rods by using bronze races when replacing the bearing/bushing as one does a lot, the V-Ride does.
