staxx Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Welcome to BMT congrats on getting your Mack , first thing I would do is get a oil analysis done check for coolant in the oil and for coolant leaking into wire harness from low coolant sensor ,check exhaust manifold for cracks and broken studs and charge air cooler leaks.

hatcity Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 By now, the 2 piece POS radiator should have been replaced. That group of engines were very good. Not much computer control, but more computer monitor.

Superdog Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I've known guys to derate their 460's to 427's,said they pulled better and got better fuel mileage. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30087-my-new-mack/#findComment-169064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
