Doug Stoker Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 2007 mack granite cv713 tri axle dump with an Allison. Truck started to idle low couple months back. Idles at 500 rpm. Since then changed 6 injectors. throws a 8-3 blink code occasionally. changed that EUP, however still idles at 500 rpm. ABS light has been on for a while truck runs fine. Just cannot figure out that low idle. Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68536-low-idle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
880joe Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I had a 92 CH Mack that did that if I remember correctly they told me that somebody was probably poking the cruise control switch mutipal times quickly and caused a default code so I took it to mack and had it reset never caused problems after that Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68536-low-idle/#findComment-481670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I cant think of why the idle speed would change on its own, any recent programming been done? Idle speed is easy to reset with Mack software. 880 Joe may be on to something here... I'd like to know, jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68536-low-idle/#findComment-481673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Any possibility it’s idling where it needs to be and the tach is just off? Or does it noticeably sound different? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68536-low-idle/#findComment-481675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
