You're right about the front and rear being the same part number, but start praying you don't need the center, thing's unavailable into the next century right now.

Where exactly does the 1/8 inch blockoff plate meet to go under the EGR Valve! also if the guy has an air hammer that can assist in removing the manifold end! assuming the center section is still usable! how ever the less you disturb the better off you are if the egr valve can stay on leave it on if the part is that scarce might be an idea to leave it alone the studs that hold the valve can break!

Artful dodger Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I carry an air hammer in the damn truck lol I’m headed out there I’ll keep u guys posted he made it sound like center was useable he’s worried we won’t get it apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly does the 1/8 inch blockoff plate meet to go Missed this, but in response to FJH's comment, here's a picture to help. Instead of the gasket Option 8, put the plate there. This is 90° from the turbo on the manifold. Edited May 9 by The Heinz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP engines are worse! turbo studs break everything is bad on them! after about a year of operation its a nightmare to have to work on any exhast stuff! Just ask Heinz how much exhaust stuff he sells for MP engines! and is cheaper to buy the part some times than piss around trying to get broken studs out!

Any time an exhaust manifold comes off, quote every bolt, stud, nut, spacer, and gasket. Also quote some Kroil. Got one in the shop right now that started as an EGR cooler R&R, turned into exhaust manifold replacement for exactly what you think. Want to know a worse truck for frozen bolts? Hino. Their DPF's are bolted into the SCR system, not clamped. So when the crappy injectors overfuel and melt the DPF, you also get to fight seized hardware the entire time. Awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful dodger Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Okay guys here’s the big ? We have clay is pretty salty with the Mack’s we have here and he owns 2 that are deleted he’s worried about how it’s programmed I’ll explain we can from pai I’ll probably need hienz for that get an exhaust manifold that will fit that doesn’t have a place for an egr valve comes in a kit with studs and gaskets so that would eliminate having to plate it but they only have 1 pipe out of the egr plugged so the s pipe with the 2 sensors on it is still moving exhaust if we eliminate it and cut those sensors out will it kill the boost we will get if it not programmed for them to be gone?

NO! do not cut wires ! leave everything as is! You risk a derate if there is an open circuit! the computer as is now just sees there is not enough EGR flow! And will just open the EGR valve more! if its blocked it won't matter! changing manifolds will require a different turbo the wheel speed sensor won't be there something the computer looks at! BRO don't mess with things we know what were dealing with up to this point! Till you got enough cash to deal with the turbo end leave things alone! You know what to do to make it pull! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Dodger please don't take offence ! I am trying to view this from the big picture your current financial and personal challenges as well keep the costs to a minimum while weigh off the other stuff that's been going on in your life there !

Artful dodger Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Oh ya no your not offending me at all man I appreciate all of you center section is good air hammer and good lubricant did the trick going to replace the front third three of the injector things ECUs or EBU or whatever they called compressor turbo gasket and probably gonna order a new control valve controller for the gate. As soon as I get free of some money, I’m gonna have Hines get me the filter assembly for that VGT filter and put it back on there, we’re gonna run cleaner with this old valve for just a little while to try to get the old pushed out. I’ll change the lights change the valve controller and put the filter assembly on and then will be just like it was when it come out. Anything you have done I appreciate your help people these days. Don’t help strangers kind of refreshing to see it spend as much time with me as y’all.have 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvo is proud of that part, and it may be on national backorder.. put eyes on it !! sitting in the background reading AND learning on this one. am amazed at the sentence RE- USE IT. and also the follow up comments of separating the three pieces. in the day , after extended periods of use ,the three pieces were mated for life. one cracked (couldn't be re welded) then 3 pieces were purchased. do newer style have the expansion ring on 2 end internal pieces for a seal ??
