INTRODUCTION
Mack Trucks, Inc. introduces the engine model line-up for 2005. These engines meet the stringent emission requirements
mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency, and utilize Current-Controlled Rate Shaping (CCRS) Electronic Unit Pump
(EUP) technology. To meet the new NOx (nitrogen oxides) and HC (hydrocarbon) emission requirements, these engines
incorporate exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Two different methods of recirculating the exhaust gases are used:

• Internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation (IEGR)

• Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (CEGR)

Nitrogen Oxides, which are generated during the combustion process, are produced at very high temperatures. With both EGR
systems, a portion of the exhaust gas is recirculated back into the combustion chambers and mixed with the fuel/air charge,
resulting in a lower combustion temperature. Since combustion temperatures are lower, NOx emissions are reduced.

To recirculate the exhaust gases back into the combustion chambers, IEGR engines use a camshaft having a modified exhaust
lobe profile that opens the exhaust valves very early during the intake stroke. With both the intake and exhaust valves opened, a
portion of the exhaust gases are drawn back into the combustion chamber and mixed with the intake charge.

On CEGR engines, an EGR valve is used to direct a portion of the exhaust gases out of the exhaust manifold. The exhaust gas
is then cooled in the EGR cooler, mixed with charged inlet air and directed back into the combustion chambers. CEGR engines
are also equipped with a variable turbine geometry (VTG) that maintains a certain amount of exhaust back pressure to "push" the
exhaust gases through the EGR system.

These engines are called ASET™, which stands for Application Specific Engine Technology. With horsepower ratings ranging
from 300 to 460, the ASET™ engine model line-up represents the largest engine selection and the best power-to-weight ratio in
the industry. ASET™ engines continue to offer the proven Econodyne® (conventional torque rise), Maxidyne® (high torque rise)
and Maxicruise® engine concepts. Maxicruise® engines, available in horsepower ratings of 310/330, 330/350, 355/380 and
380/410, are designed to cruise at 1,500 rpm where peak power is developed, thereby ensuring optimum gradeability and fuel
efficiency. At non-cruising speed, the lower power levels and fueling rates further contribute to the overall fuel economy of the
engine.

ASET™ engines are designed to meet the specific needs of the vocational and highway markets. ASET™ AI (Econodyne®) and
AMI (Maxidyne®) engines, which use IEGR technology, are ideally suited for vocational type operations such as refuse hauling,
on/off highway operations, concrete mixing and delivery, etc., because of their design simplicity and serviceability. ASET™ AC
(Econodyne® and Maxicruise®), which use CEGR technology, are ideal for line haul operations where fuel economy and
performance are of primary importance.

Also included in this manual are specifications for the MACK Eco-Tech™ E7G natural gas engine. Offered in the 325 horsepower
range, the Eco-Tech™ engine features lower noise, gaseous and particulate emission levels while providing superior
performance and reliability.

Service Information
For service and overhaul information on MACK ASET™ engines, as well as detailed information concerning both the IEGR and
CEGR systems, refer to the specific ASET™ engine service manual. Maintenance and lubrication information for ASET™ diesel
engines can be found in the Maintenance and Lubrication Manual, TS494.

For service and overhaul information on MACK Eco-Tech™ E7G engines, refer to the Eco-Tech™— E7G Natural Gas Engine
Service Manual, 5-107. Maintenance, lubrication and operation information is detailed in the Eco-Tech™— E7G Natural Gas
Engine Operator's Handbook, TS857.
