Joey Mack Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Well Mackey... It's an ASET-I... just pull the exh. manifold (with the turbo still attached) inspect behind the turbo center section for cracks. if there are no cracks, replace the gaskets, re-condition the ends of the fuel lines, new exh. studs and nuts, and be done with it??? Do they even know how? and do they know the sealing/torqueing procedure for the 12 studs and nuts and how to torque condition the fuel lines? without any underlying issues, this job can be done in less than 4 hours based upon cleaning and prep, so give it 6 hours to allow for 6 smoke breaks.. just sayin'.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 My 95 E7-350 managed to get #6 water logged once. The manifold gasket surface managed to rust enough that water got in through the seam between cab and hood. My dad took the manifold off, welded it with a cast iron rod, ground it down and it was good as new. Not saying this is your problem, but we did get a ton of rain this weekend here.

JoeH Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Boss could be wacko. I'm just saying, our 95 rd688 got waterlogged once with hood on, because the #6 exhaust manifold mating surface rusted through. We were lucky there wasn't enough water in it to brake the crankshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL been there done that. challenging for me to read all the electrical problems of todays iron;; but to have water create an issue. times are different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey58 Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 I remember back in the 60-70s local construction company had autocars and would leave the but take the engine side panels off ,always thought that was cool 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 not only looked cool but technically it helped engine run cooler. and driver didn't mind a cooler cab inside . keep in mind this was the day of mechanical common sense not computer modules shutting down a unit due to temp fluctuation ;; LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Autocars possible cummins power . another one famous for side panel removal were the IH's having gas power (545 ??). hot summer day leaving side panels on was almost a guarantee for vapor lock. on track now let's stay on track !!!😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I've seen B models running with top fender panels off. I'd guess most were V8 trucks? My 237 doesn't get hot at all. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad thing about taking the fender panels off the B models the side cab vents were right behind the fender, lots of hot air there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
