Love hate relationship with my Mack.

Radiator is new. Now that's it's not 90°, it seems to be running cooler. More down around 220-225 loaded. 210 when mt.

 

So, I finally got figured out why the oil temps were running so high. It was a programming issue. I had the ecm reprogrammed and truck is running much better now. I did lose some power, but I'm working on getting that fixed.

 

Well, for the 2nd time in 7-8 months truck is going back to Mack for injectors. It's losing prime overnight and it's hard to stay in the morning. I have a bad stutter at highway speeds and no power. At least it's under warranty this time. I wish someone sold aftermarket injectors for these motors, Volvo has a really bad reputation for bad injectors.

 

Does not happen often? Bwahahahaha
I'm sitting at Mack and the service manager got a good laugh at that one.

 

When I posted that last year, things got bad really fast. The injectors did go bad, but even worse the head went bad. 2 injectors were seeded so bad the mechanic couldn't get the feeler gauge in. So since it had 900,000 miles and the rods & mains were due, I ended to doing a full overhaul. Took 6-7 weeks. Got it back just after July 4th. Ran really good till Oct, then I started having a miss. I think I had an injector going bad, but since Mack already did an injector set under warranty during the inframe, they wouldn't warranty it again. I had had enough and I sold the truck and bought a used glider with a 12.7 Detroit. While I miss the Mack and loved that truck, best decision I made was buying the glider. I just didn't trust the Mack anymore.
