Hey all I had the runaway diesel issue (panic!) a few times on older Mack engines 673 cu in diesels. I always got the piece of plywood near by when starting engines that were sitting for a while, run-away usually occurs with rack being stuck in the full fuel position or high oil level in the...

finally got the Alternator over charging issue fixed, disconnected the wiring to the factory regulator and wired in an external 24 volt Delco regulator works perfect. No more boiling batteries!!!
ll post some pics of the regulator and the wiring. this was a relatively easy fix and alot cheaper...
i did see a few on e-bay recently for 25 to 35 bucks each
or you can go to napa and get the rubber cups for them and rebuild them your self if you have the time. clean them good w/brake cleaner, hone the rust if any out of the bore, clean with a bottle brush and reassemble with new cups,seals...

Re: RE: Voltage problem?
pulled Alternator tested out side truck, found that Regulator is not controlling the voltage as required...made two beat 12 volt batteries have ~17 volts each now though!!!
Any way, does any one know where i would be able to get a schematic/diagram of the parts...
well, tested alternator and load tested batteries. The batteries were defineatly over charged, total voltage across is ~36.5 volts!! both were ~18V each, drained batteries down to 14v. each. Combined i had about 29 volts. Started engine and tried adjusting Rheostat as mentioned in PS pages no...
Hello All,
a new problem unfolded with my Deuce, here it is: with the engine idling the volt gauge in my truck registers in the green range as i increase the engine speed above 1500 RPM's the gauge jumps to the red range indicating excessive charging/voltage and the Alt. belts begin to squeal...
if the engine is not turning over the winding sound is probably the starter, the starting gear may not be engaging into the fly wheel i have seen that before a few times make sure the batterys are fully charged and or take the starter out and clean the bendix and bench test the starter a few times
