    The nut came loose. On the actuator I'm using a hammer and chisel (spanner nut) How tight should this nut be, I don't have a clue????

    I nursed it to salt lake city, was quickly informed they needed a copy of the paid receipt, wich I produced, I was informed Mack wouldn't pay any on the repair So I headed for Mackpro, hit a deer along the way, knew I shoulda put on a cow catcher a couple years ago. Can't wait to see my fresh paint and cow catcher And there was no problem with Mack warranty on the vgt actuator

    I had a 2001 that had a jakobs engine brake My power leash does it's best between 1600 and 1800
  12. cgallamore
    Don't know if you read owners manual Engine brake automatically turns off around 1,800 rpm's

    I had similar problem, took a while to pinpoint the problem I started with running the overhead, O rings, wireing and such, it is affected by oil pressure The next thing is boost Should be making 15 to 20lbs of boost at 1600 rpm's on 6% grade Engine fan is around 25 brake horse power After going through all that, my engine brake was still terrible. VGT actuator went out, got that replaced and new exhaust manifold gasket Boost during engine braking went from 5psi to 18psi Made huge difference, was going off 6% like you, now I go off the same hills grossing 75,000 in 6th or 8th fanning the brake occasionally in 8th near 40 mph Hope this helped

    I'm thinking it's from drawing them down and charging them up along with shock and vibration Next time I'm going deep cycle with rubber under them. Just got it run up in my guts from petro $653.00 co&@;:rs
  18. cgallamore
    Of corse I'm just north of Vegas middle of the desert, I would like to try deep cycle, Fat chance finding marina around here

    The starter seems to spin fine, I get one slow start then no start. I get a jump or charge, the batteries all check good, let them set 24hrs and one or two will check bad

    Pretty cool idea I just went to the code site at nortrux and added that page to my home screen on my iPhone
  23. cgallamore
    Nortrux websiite has a fault code list 1 7 is low coolant If the resivior is full try unplug the sensor and stick a paper clip in the plug, if that kills the code it's a sensor, if not chase wires

    my personal best 46 tons net, gross was a shade over 120,000 lbs i seen others on that job in exess of 140,000 lbs

    Ran a load of shelving 38,000 lbs from san Diego to just north of bakersfeild Come over the pass 4200 ft, making 31/32 psi boost Going off the grapevine 6% for 6 miles could run 2 gears higher and never touch the brake, making 15/17 psi boost Never would make over 5psi before I think that Vgt acuator has been a problem all along but no way to tell, who wants to throw 2 grand at a part you don't know if it's bad or not Just cruzzin around out west wiping the smiles off large cars
