It doesnt seem like there is a new spare in existence! An outfit and big (and useless) as Worldwide has 5 in their whole system.

If you cannot find a new or acceptable used one; If the material is either plastic, or aluminum, I can repair it. Let me know.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Worldwide must be yanking your chain because they don't have it in stock...Thats what Im saying as well Barry...the sad thing is they are about the only Mack dealer within 300 miles. They bought out all the other dealers. They got a nice monopoly down here. As I said..they are fairly useless... a lot of people got away from Macks because of them.

storkmack Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 That tank your are talking aobut is a constant pain in the RD's and the CH's. We have a 05' CHN and it has what appears to be an aluminum tank. I hope this solves the problem.

mudslut28 Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Well I got it and got it installed. Hauled 2 loads and the shutdown light and buzzer started coming on. The shutdown has been shut off (LMAO) on this truck so I went ahead and dumped the load and started checking the truck out. Oil and water level fine...when I finally found out what had caused it...one of the wires on the water level sensor was either too tight or too loose. So I took it off put it back on and tightened it down again and no more trouble..lol. No wonder the shutdown has been disabled. This is my first computer motor. Powerwise its an absolute beast and I love everything about the truck...but I dunno bout something that finicky..lol. Being my first E7 i definitely like it better than the E6 and the 2 valves so far except for the uneasiness about the computer. I guess anything new is scary...lol. The engine brake is a lot better than my other Macks and the power...lol...it dont feel like a Mack...
