DCR Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 My 2000 Vision 460 showed a lightning bolt and when checking the code (8-3) it shows a #3 EUP. Local Mack dealer is swamped and can't get in right away. What does this normally mean? Is the EUP bad? Could it be something else connected with the EUP? I am mechanically inclined but far from a mechanic. Can I change this myself meaning is it simply unbold the old and bolt on the new? Thanks in advance for the help.

hatcity Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Could be a wiring problemIf the EUP is bad, you can change yourself. Make sure to get new boltsMay have to bar engine over a little as the cam? shaft may be holding it up Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34547-3-eup/#findComment-230687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The EUP is probably bad. Unbolt and move the heat shield out of the way. Remove the injector line and eup wires from the terminals. Remove 1 eup mounting bolt and loosen the other, leave about a 1/4 of the threads still in. Eups stick, so when you knock it loose it will pop and the bolt will keep if from shooting out. Clean the hole. Replace the EUP, 2 mounting bolts and the injector line. DONOT OVER TIGHTEN THE EUP WIRE TERMINALS, THEY WILL BREAK! Reinstall all parts and prime fuel system. Its a straight forward simple job. The cal code will need programmed which the dealer can do. You can write the number down and drive the truck to them. The cal code is a 4 digit number located on the lower right side of the EUP-this is looking at it while installed.

hatcity Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Challenger- even on a 2000 year motor would you need to enter code? reprogram?

Challenger Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yes, Etechs and newer. VMAC III cal codes are real simple to program, takes like 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34547-3-eup/#findComment-230771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 before you throw money at replacing the #3 EUP ,, i would swap holes. like swap number 3 EUP with #4 EUP and see if your code moves to the hole number #4. this will confirm it is not a wiring issue instead of EUP...
