Challenger Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 That isnt normal. Take it to your dealer. Could be a cracked DPF (filter). Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32425-2013-mack/#findComment-201209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 We have DPF Pinnacles that still don't have soot on the inside of the stack after 200k miles. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32425-2013-mack/#findComment-201211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
refusegetter Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 This truck has been to the dealer many times, most recently was there on Monday. They have never said a word about it.

rsb502 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 every garbage truck I have seen with a dpf and that exhaust tip has been charred like that, I bet theres 50 running around mid tn that look that way, I have seen two that were "fixed" by their owners after Mack said they were ok and the intakes starteds to melt, they just put a tall stack on em to get the exhaust up to the cutout in the headache rack and bam fixed, supposedley they run better, cooler and no more charred paint near the exhaust. I hope they get it fixed for ya, seems this has come up here before.

Any suggestions?2013 Mack mru613 roughly 26k milesimage.jpgI have seen a brand new pinnacle at the dealer with both stacks smoked; something is not right but what is interesting is that there are no codes or check engine lights with that; makes a guy wonder how in the world an engine that is supposed to be super clean runs like that and there are no fault codes.

refusegetter Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 The paint isn't charred, it's soot, it'll wash right off. No engine codes here either. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32425-2013-mack/#findComment-201351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Cracked filters cause visible soot with no codes. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32425-2013-mack/#findComment-201445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
