Failing Turbo Makes 1st Road Test Not Good- Mack May Never Run

[@keithfrazier2558]

12:47 One of my father's favorite sayings. "If it's got t*tts or tires...it's gonna give you problems". No wiser words have ever been spoken.

[@DPCCGM]

I was just thinking the same thing. Don't know how many times I heard this from the old timers. Now that I'm one it still applies. He did get rid of the first one but the tires are really making up for them. LOL!

[@SouthernFarmingTV]

I like the head cam specially, when you’re driving it’s pretty cool

[@johnrdanna]

Great to see the Mack on the road again. You know your equipment an how ut should run. Sometimes things fight ya but you manage to fix it. Struggles but in end its done. Am proud of you. Keep on doing your thing. Yenko looked happy to ride in the Mack.

[@Mikesmith-tm5sh]

This is better than watching them Stupid shows on TV. keep it up Chris. Farming always a struggle.

[@BrianPahls-oi3tm]

Chris just needs the other two stooge's

[@samjohnson1344]

I enjoy farm videos in the field but enjoy shop videos as I’m doing the same thing right now. Spent most of the day searching for parts and tools.

[@jimconnor8274]

Chris keep the faith You're doing great with the truck.Back ib 72 when I started an old Timer said Trucking would be easy and great if there weren't so many moving parts!

[@lennyfitzgerald4714]

I was taught to step the idle up to a 1000 with the hand throttle. Just a thought good luck

Soon you will have a brand new truck as time goes on lol. Keep up the great work.

[@RandyHunt19]

Chris also don’t forget your air leak by the dipstick, also the old Mack 6 speed the old saying was you could smoke a cigarette between shifts 😅, thats the bad thing about the old 6 speed has that leg before turbo spools up for the power to come back. The second run what i could hear it sounded better, turn your idle up to 800 and get your tack cable fixed that will help as well with you watching it when shifting. When you are warming it up idle up to 1200 if you let it slobber it wont get hot enough to burn clean. Trust me i ran Mack’s all my life had 28 of them… nothing is tougher than a bulldog!!!

[@williamspates1015]

Unhook the puff eliminator and you won't have the turbo lag

[@davidforbes6250]

My heart was in my mouth in the final few minutes of the road test in case something blew up. Can’t believe how good I felt when I saw your towers over the hill and knew you were almost home. 🎉

You'll be fine with it put a load on it and clean it out. It seems to have good power.

[@jimkavalier2831]

Need to learn how to drive it again..... you have to remember, you didn't have fancy gear shift knobs on it last time.... lol Looking good on the road! With the copilot on board!

[@plowkingf15]

I think it was a great video.My friendly competitor had a superliner,some r models and a u model. The u model was a little hard to get used too. Hes gone on to other makes since then.The trucks went from steel vacuum bodies like your friends septic business to aluminum .The tank manufacturers wont give a warranty on aluminum unless its mounted on air ride.

[@lex4700]

Good to see the old girl back on the road.

[@TheRange7]

Holy smokes Chris, the parts truck has paid for itself 3 or 4 times over already. That was a really solid move on your part. I hope Big Red runs clean and well for you for as long as you need her to. Cheers buddy. Edit, OOPS, I commented prior to the end of the video, dangit. Hope you get her squared away man.

[@jasonbeecher509]

Sounds better than 3/4 of the trucks around here. Have fun man

[@br927]

What do you mean, the Mack may never run! Never give up, you'll get it going! Nice parts truck, see, you got your moneys worth already! All's well that ends well!

[@jessemerriam9732]

Keep up the awsome content chris your doing great keep the head cam lot of great content you post I watch big 👍👍👍👍

[@timheasley612]

I had a Cummings lost the turbo and Cummings in Hubbard Ohio put a new one on it was a big cam 400 they put that baby on the dyno and wound it right up tight he said he could burn out the oil in the mufflers and after cooler faster then me taking it on the road he had the oil blue smoke flying lol 😂. Great video stop playing with you're timing it's a good way to burn a piston ... I still love the 300+ the one I drove ran as good as my 400 Cummings 👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@dailesperry8256]

Sounds good just have to work the kinks out it takes time may run a little different when you get the top on the air filter

[@joeblair1532]

That's a good one, " the turbo gets a little warm. " yep, it does....😅

[@koreymartinson7238]

Smaller turbo should spool up quicker. I had a turbo go on a Mack I was dríving. Accelerating from a stop sign weighing in around 90000. Boom and a grinding noise that sounded like shoving a angle grinder into hard metal till it stopped. Lots of black smoke. Broken shaft!

[@richards1955]

If you use simple green spray on let sit 15-20 min hose it off. You do not need to press her wash it.

[@johnhenderson299]

Yenko seems happy with the Mack

[@markgamble8377]

Been waiting for that ride

[@williammatzek4660]

Chris i'm running on inches! I'm sure some one thinks you should go buy a newer truck. When you get that truck in shape , it should last as a farm truck. I've got an old 1 ton I use on my small operation , it's diesel. I need to put an o ring kit on the diesel return system. Your truck sounds good!

[@davidforbes6250]

Head cam is worthwhile.

A good song for the Mack, is the song Return Of The Mack by Mark Mirrison. 😂😂

[@keithschuebel650]

You definitely need Jake's great work

[@sodbuster518able]

By the looks of exhaust manifold looks more like coming from cylinders of unburnt fuel or leaking past the rings now that you have a new cylinder head on 1 thru 3, I don't think turbo to blame seeing as last season truck was smoke free except normal acceleration smoke. I wonder if you have a timing issue as last year it was easy cold starting now you have hard starting problems. I,m placing my bet on fuel timing problem. I think 1 thru 3 pushing oil past rings.

[@rogerbaldwin8041]

Great job Chris !

Nice vid, Duffy. Could you explain the 2 stick in one video… I’ve only ever driven eaton transmissions

[@prjndigo]

To anybody that doesn't know, a leaking turbo is how you get run-away engines. Leaving such a thing on and hoping is a $12k+ mistake.

[@keithfrazier2558]

You need one of those bolt heaters so you don't always have to use your torch.

[@mattg1987]

Those things seem very handy.

[@andrewtimmerman9974]

You’ve yet to say if the motor feels like it has more power with the new head. It should be like night and day difference

[@andyzumwalt3632]

I'd love to watch turbo complete rebuild

[@plowkingf15]

I heard the old macks had a antipuff valve for smoke but might have been too much trouble to use them.

[@lawrenceashworth7668]

The only looking around you was doing while driving, was checking your mirrors, which any good driver, is suppose to do.

[@dennisbelles9236]

The old mack looks and sounds great. You did a great job fixing the old girl. And other than the crash rebuild, I'd call everything else, normal maintenance.

[@ronc2135]

I nave a freshly rebuilt Mack turbo rebuilt by D&W Diesel in Worcester but it is from an E6 350 not sure if it is compatible with yours.

[@richardvirchow2757]

Mack semi trucks, never die they just live on in other trucks, that need their transplants which makes them better than before Mr. Duffy you and your team are the Mack, Semi truck doctors of New York, The worst thing is that you would have to take the whole engine completely out of the semi-truck again just like the Kenworth in the same fashion instead of particular repairs and many more gremlins to find out on the Mack semi-truck. Both semi-trucks are pretty much at the same stage to get the are talking to you and tell me it is time to work on all of my little gremlins that are making me ill and I Duffy, please fix them and I'll be good again big Red is saying I loved you threw a hard time with your family now it is time to love me know. Sincerely! R.S.V.

[@lloydjohnson3757]

Never let that Mack idol under 1200 , that’s where all your oil is coming from

[@mattg1987]

If that's true what is causing that to happen? Is it a crankcase breather or piston ring sealing issue?

[@peterjackson9831]

Are you sure the oil isn't leaking from the front cylinders? The oil appears to be coming out of the exhaust manifold and not the turbo. Probably rings in one of the front cylinders. Do not consider the turbos interchangeable either especially if the exhaust turbine and compressor housings are different. They are usaully VERY specific to each engine application and matched to fuel systems and settings etc. Make sure you check with the dealer to see if they interchange as you could be setting yourself up for a whole new set of heartaches.

[@DuffyAg]

E6 engine and e7 are usually 100% interchangeable. If I call a mack dealership on a e6 mack it's like talking to the experts on youtube they actually have no idea. And I guess you will have to see if after switching turbo that was feeding oil into the engine it runs properly. Wait actually we showed that at the end of the video that it was running properly

[@AdamDedrick-q1q]

Thing seems like a money pit for you! Luckily you got a paint job done on it. Not like the engine was ever important

[@logan99gs-k1k]

Still cheaper than buying another truck, but why do you care so much? Not your money or time spent

[@vladislavkolarik8019]

Hi Chris before I start no I am not self thought mechanic I fully qualified motor mechanic I worked on cars, truck's, and earth moving equipment For many years rebuild so many cars trucks repaired so much earth moving equipment. Now your truck gas an air leak on engine or we call it vacum. Your tako meter is fluctuating and when it stop still for few seconds I notice it's idling high. U would check your vacum with vacum gauge and then try to find leak .Or get that tacometer fixed or replaced get that engine tune in proply it's idling to high and your disel income it's to high that's way it smoking black smoke . Light smoke is oil burning that is n o t a good sign it could be several things gone wrong. You don't take care of your trucks what I seen so far only when they stop. And you just repair to get it back on road , with your work truck must be 100% at all time band aid fix is not the way to go I know it cost but that's your fault for letting it go that far. I had my own trucks on road so I know what is like but if you service them on time re p air when you pick up problem early cost less. So don't tell me or you haven't farmed no I haven't farmed but I did all sorts of truck driving more than you have in your life time you still need to work 30 years before you catch up with me. Guys like you with big chip on there shoulders we call would bee's so don't tell prop l e they don't know if you don't know them I don't know way I watch your chanel but more I watch it n o w more it upsets me just the way you do things the way you carry on . Unorganized is not the word I use, I seen little kids m ore organize than you. I better STOP before I really rip in to you. I am thinking to sell at you .

Being around them old 300 series Macks, you should know they are not race fans, them ol gals just love to clunk along at 1800 rpm. and shift between `1200 and 1400 rpm. durring my 49 years on the roads, and allot of off road, I did steer a few old R's in my Days. And found through advice from old timers and what not that them ol Macks will go for ever, and pull for ya at steady low rpm. they do not like high rpm.

Your a helluva mechanic Duffy, you've got the special attention for it man the first video i watched of yours that got me to your channel was tearing apart that big John Deere transmission. That kinda attention to detail is rare now buddy don't fret the let downs on truckin. its always like that that is just what it is man so worth it to run the old stuff its just MADE for the job. and its MADE to be replaced and repaired unlike the more modern rides. I always like a dirty old manual aggressive truck. be it a volvo or a mack or an old international of freightliner. doesnt matter. all those old solid mount, golden days trucks are still shining.
