Challenger Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Its the same engine, so MAYBE you could have the same problems. There has been some software and part updates since 2004.

rsb502 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 If its been oin to a Mack shop for repairs since it should have the updated Turbo, egr valve and programming Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35020-06-chn-613/#findComment-237082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underhill1 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 It just came out of a mack dealership with a new long block . I would think it has had the updates. Could I call Mack and find out if the updates have been done Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35020-06-chn-613/#findComment-237089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The engine will not give trouble like a '04. In '05 the cooling was completely changed and software and parts are different. I'd never be afraid of that truck, especially with a new long block.

j hancock Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 With a long block from Mack, there should be a very clear paper trail as to what has happened to the truck and warranty information.

Mackpro Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It has had a new cam installed not long ago, not to many warranty claims on this truck. The software and datafiles have never been upgraded. The 2004 CH-CX were the worst year. In 2005 the CXN-CHN came out with the wider frame to allow bigger radiator and after cooler. The EGR cooler problems never really went away but if you keep the screen in the lower radiator "Y" pipe clean it will really help alot.
