0 JoeH Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Kinda hard to see, but I'd probably try and fudge some flex pipe in there... Sux to have such a new truck do this; hope it doesn't void any warranty by patching your own fix on there till mack figures their sht out.

0 fjh Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Looks like its on the out let side no big deal However not being able to get one is a big deal He can't modify it its a warranty item the bafoons with throw it back in the dealers face and not pay if they do a mod without getting permission to do so! So much politics to warranty you wouldn't believe it! once the warranty is dun you can do what ever you need to do ! in my mind a peice of jobber flex and 2 band clamps and your done FIXED! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58505-2019-exhaust-elbow/#findComment-429642 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 JoeH Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Throw a patch on, run it. When they say they have a fix put the broken POS back on there and they won't know the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58505-2019-exhaust-elbow/#findComment-429651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vinny933 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 to top it off I would have got it to them at 3 oclock they close 530 , they told me 2 and a half hours was not enuff time to fix it hahaha . if they had the pipe Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58505-2019-exhaust-elbow/#findComment-429664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JoeH Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Part of the reason some of us run old dogs. They cost a fraction, and don't have engineering defects that haven't been addressed yet. Volvo got your money, they don't care about you now. They'll wait for a customer to engineer the fix, void that customers warranty, call the fix their own and put it on everyone else's truck. Meanwhile you're stuck with a truck you can't use but still have to pay for. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58505-2019-exhaust-elbow/#findComment-429665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JoeH Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 And I call BS on that taking 2.5+ hours to change out that elbow. It's two V clamps and you're cruising.

0 Mackpro Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 This happened to our one Anthem that we got . It’s clean exhaust at that point so it was not a huge deal at the time . As long as the hot exhaust was not blowing on anything important. The drivers never noticed it and we only found it during service/inspection. Both of my buddies new GR ‘s ( the new GU) have had the same issue. Our last new CXU’s with the common rail engines and one box SCR/DPF have not seemed to have this problem.
