    Mack MP8 DEF system not building pressure

    Is there an electrical issue making it think it should purge like the engine has been shut off?

    0pinions on Equipment Unlimited in Oklahoma

    At the top there’s a little flag, you can use it to call their attention to the add as a scam or whatever. If enough people track down their ads and flag them it’ll at least get them off CL. I think there’s more to it, I’ll dig a little deeper.

    Just spitballing here….after some bs threats like that we could have a lot of fun on CL knocking off his ads and making people aware of this shady crap. Dude ain’t even from here I’d wager.

    Mustang 440 skidsteer V6?

    I wonder if it’s an industrial 4.3 like you’d find in a forklift. If so and assuming it’s more or less as it was born it shouldn’t turn more than 3,000 rpm give or take. Heck that motor will outlast the entire machine and leave you a power plant for something else. You almost can’t kill those...

    Crazy truck prices

    Low mile trucks always make me want to see hours. Lots of oil field trucks with low miles but 10-12k hours. That idle time concerns me more than mileage.

    Diagnostic tools

    I have a laptop with Jaltest. I’ve used it on Deere, Komatsu and Cat. So far it’s done what I needed as far as reading and clearing codes. I’ve also used it on quite a few trucks and with the higher level access I can do turbo actuator calibrations and the like. I have truck, construction...

    O-ring boss caps

    ORB is same thread as JIC, I should say standard thread not metric or Komatsu. It wouldn’t be a super tight seal but you could slow it down or keep crud out with a JIC cap.

    1998 Cat 330BL doesn't shut off with key

    Look under the cab, drop that little panel under and take a gander at the wiring. Seen more than one with wires chewed up giving the results you have. Try sliding the seat forward and back. I’ve had that amplify or remove the issue which lead me to wiring underneath.

    Mack MP8 Fan Clutch Harness

    I just repaired similar issue on an MP8 with alternator belt shredding and getting balled up behind damper and taking crank seal out. The tensioner for the alternator belt had lost a bit of its spring so it was bouncing a bit, you could watch the belt jump a rib on the pulley. It would be out...

    Semi truck Import/export Canada to US

    What’s mileage to a haul truck anyway.

    Semi truck Import/export Canada to US

    4.56’s aren’t bad with tall 24.5’s. You can run 70 easy enough. The last batch of haul trucks I built were 4.56’s with AT1202’s.

    What is a Cummins Signature 600?

    Don’t recall exact details but early in the life of the ISX they offered 600 HP 2050 TQ. It was their answer to the C16 600 Cat. What did signature get you specifically? I can’t say. I used to run with a guy that had one and it was a good running truck. He had Australian fuel codes and some...

    Opinions wanted on old class 8 dump trucks for local dirt and gravel hauling

    I’d lean toward the ford. Pull the check plugs on the diffs and trans to see how furry they are. What kind of shape are the beds in? Are they both budd wheels or daytons? Manual tarps? Electric tarps? Certain conditions could sway me away from either one.

    Stopped by truck parts vendor to pay a bill:

    I wonder if it was a special application and they had to use a full chain and part of another due to availability? We had to do that on the drill rigs. Often couldn’t get required number of links etc. So we’d buy three chains, make the two we needed and have some spare parts.
