Is that a programmer or something?

Do you have a link to it?

Different diameter or different bends?

In a 94 ch613. New Speedo from Mack is over $600 which I’m assuming is the problem. Anyone ever had one repaired if so can you share where?

Pros and cons of getting rid of electronic governor? Only downsides I could see is losing cruise and possible labor involved with putting in throttle linkage and some other odds and ends. From what I’ve read the electronics were retarded some from the mechanicals likely due to emissions.

It’s really a shame that Jacob’s didn’t release that 349 sooner and give them more time to perfect the wear issues. I think they only made them a couple years before Cat went to the E model so they scrapped it. But if you look at the diagram of the operations you could really tell why they were so much better. I’m betting something similar could have been done with Mack

Interesting. So I’m brand new to these engines. These Jakes only open 1 valve? On my 3406 the slave pushes down the bridge therefore opens both. I have it in for an overhaul right now and have been doing a fair bit of research for the Jake on it as they were always pretty less than impressive also unless you could find the diamond in the rough 349a. But it looks like the Jacob’s version for these Mack’s are the same operating principal as the more common (poor performing) 346’s on the 3406 cats according to the brochures. As you said, I think lack of oil pressure was the big reason they didn’t perform well. The 349a’s cured that with a trigger piston and larger oil reservoir to increase pop reaction, but supposedly the triggers wore in the bore and made them junk after so many uses

That would definitely get it away from the air bag

Thanks. Will check it out

Looks a little blurry zooming in on the bottom of it to see the elbows

Sitting in line at the elevator I’m noticing my temp gauge bounce around pretty erratically. Noticed it reading a little higher going down the road earlier so was worried maybe thermostat but now that I’m watching it it looks like it’s moving too fast for that. Are these gauges mechanical or is there a sender somewhere to look for?

That’s what I wondered. Would a dealer have a parts breakdown of where and what all that is?

Yes I probably will when I do an overhead. By the way, where do you come up with Mack repair manuals? Website I ordered my cat stuff from has nothing for Mack

I guess I’m mostly wanting to know if there are any factor brackets or shields missing to put a 90 on it. It’s awfully close to that air bag like it is also so don’t know if there was another elbow to get it away from that

Negative on that one. Guessing a muffler isn’t cheap. Just wanting to clean the bend up. Plus it sounds good 😎

I have a 94 ch613. Someone has gotten rid of the muffler and the pipe doesn’t sit straight. I’m thinking this long piece of flex pipe isn’t correct. Does anyone have pictures of what it actually needs or a parts breakdown from dealer?

Either one of those work better than the other?

Appears to be!

You sure about that? Mine has electronic throttle so I figured anything would be wired through computer to shut off with rpm, throttle, etc.

My 94 e7 has an engine brake, but I’m not sure if it’s Jacob’s, dynatard or something else if there is anything else. How do I tell? I don’t see Jacob’s anywhere on the housing like my Cat has

So was a 400 the highest horsepower option you could get in that year?

Thanks. I tried looking for a book the other day but was striking out

Well I’ve got way more than 28 pints in the rear if that’s the total amount needed for the carrier and axle housing for the rear

Mack dealer did tell me 80-90 in mine. So do I need to drain out and start over? Where do I fill from then?

Sorry im bombarding this place with questions. I’m brand new to Mack. Changing differential oil in my 94. Discovered you have to drain carrier and axle housing separate. Mack dealer wasn’t much help on quantity it holds so just going until running out check plugs. Want to make sure I’m doing it right. On rear axle I filled axle housing through the check plug and it held about 5.5 gallons. Then filling carrier through vent and when it came out side plug it held about 3-4 gallons. That seems like a %^|{ load of oil and don’t think there was quite that much in it when I drained it all. Is that right?
