Popular Post Maxville Truck Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2023 I don't get much of a chance to post on here very often... However I'm extremely proud of what my shop did with this project for me personally... Auction purchase I was going to use for parts, walked out to my yard with a jump pack, hooked her up, wa-la motor started right up... Decided it was worth fixing up... Been a Mack guy since I started with trucks hauling cow manure (MR's basically)... Got into putting farm trucks together, as a few of you know, still pumping and hauling sh*t, besides putting farms trucks together, and sand blasting and painting.. I've been blessed by an excellent group of employees bringing a wide range of skills and capabilities to the table. They don't get near enough recognition for their talents. But here is just a token of that.... recognition... This is not a "perfect build" but nicest truck I personally have.... I'm not a "trucker" in the traditional sense have hardly any miles under my belt, just the occasional "auction purchase I need to pick up"... Remanned Tranny (upgrade from T2180 to T318) I am in need of some minor electrical help... Dash tach and speedo giving grief... lots of diagnosing yesterday, (I think its mostly dash, but not fully convinced yet), but in the process of diagnosing, i tried a different VECU , then went back to the original, now I've lost throttle.... Information about integration between the ISX and the Mack side is elusive at best... looking for anyone that might know if throttle is broadcast via 1939 to the isx from VECU, or if it passed though VECU as throttle voltage to the Cummins computer.... Thanks in advance for any assistance... 7 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72406-2001-cl733-restoration/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Well I am stunned, first at my judgement of "restoring a 2001" I was thinking of, how bad could a 2001 actually be ? How much restoration cold it possibly need ? Well I have just been educated, very impressed with the work done, looks totally different now and in good way Well done to all involved And sorry Im of no help on the fuse Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72406-2001-cl733-restoration/#findComment-523573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Wow, that’s a real nice job. And yes I was thinking from the first photo it already look like it was in pretty good shape. Thanks for sharing. I used that same blue on a minibike last summer….
