wheeler73 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Sounds like the idle was turned down by the cruise control switches inadvertently. The dealer can set the idle and then go into customer parameters and turn off the adjust low idle with crusie switches. I see this alot. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43587-mack-ami-375-engine/#findComment-320585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheeler73 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 That is a new one. Could be a coincidence though. Which fan does it have air or electronic viscous?

Turker Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 That is a new one. Could be a coincidence though. Which fan does it have air or electronic viscous?Air,checked solenoid it works fan hub moves in and out but it will not disengage. I will check the AC switch today???

Dirtymilkman Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The mechanic may have accidentally unhooked or broke a wire or connector while doing the service. I'd check the wiring for the clutch. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43587-mack-ami-375-engine/#findComment-320935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turker Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Today I went to Mack dealer,They hooked up to computer,no codes still running rough,change the solenoid for fan, did not stop the fan after $ 396.00 they told me it may have some air in the fuel system ,drive it few days and see what it does? Also they told me that my fan, designed to run all the time no free spool!!! why they did not tell me that before changing my solenoid?Does anybody have 375AI engine in granite to see if the fan stays all the time? Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43587-mack-ami-375-engine/#findComment-321563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeler73 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If it has the 2 speed air fan it does stay on but not at full speed until signaled to engage. This design saves the fan clutch from burning out quickly. Did the dealer turn up the idle speed?

Did the dealer turn up the idle speed?Dealer did not turned up the idle since there was no code, I am thinking that they should able to tell me the fan is normal for the model, after all they had all the info and vin # etc . Instead they change the solenoid with new one .my old one was working just the way new one did ????? It is all about taking advantage from the owner of the truck.

wheeler73 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The idle can be turned up when they monitor the parameters. Sounds like they do not know what they are doing. Unfortunately there are not many of us left that know anything about VMACI-VMACIII. Sounds like you need to find a better dealership. It is a shame that there are less and less technicians that can program and do anything with the older electronics. Right now I am training a younger tech how to flash, reprogram, and how to set parameters on VMACIII. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43587-mack-ami-375-engine/#findComment-321774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
