What would it take to convert a RS600L to power steering? -

i know i said hood part but i meant the pedestal. It says 'Mack' on it and when you look at it from the front in comes to a point, making a "V" shape. This part hugs the curve of the hood and acts as a pedestal for the bulldog. -

i guess i'm looking for one of these, as near as I can tell. It seems like i can probably get a bulldog easy enough off ebay, but the hood part i may need help with. i -

I'm starting a project soon. If you can overlook my selfishness, it would be great if you could give us all a glimpse into the pitfalls of starting a project like this. Looks like some decent painting went on there. Can I ask what happened? Why stop now I mean. It looks like you're well on your way. I know there are many things that you can't control, and possibly some mistakes were made. If you could give us your story, it could help the next guy. Anyway, best of luck selling your stuff. There are great pictures but it would also help to let us know if you plan to part it out or if you're looking for someone to buy the whole lot. -
A Superliner is a good one to start with. Buy the best one you can afford. EVERYTHING is expensive to replace and parts are harder to find as the age of the truck gets older. I have had trucks done by professionals, done my own and purchased one that just needed a little work and had all the right stuff. Going down the line: Wheels cost $275-300 new. Repolish is approx $125-175 a wheel. I have bought repolished wheels for $175. An old or scrap wheel is worth about $50-70. Scrap the old ones and get new, there is nothing like new wheels and tires. Danny's truck wash by me in Phoenix, AZ does polishing all the other polishing you asked about. Call them and they should be able to give you a ball park price. The more you can polish the more you can spend in other areas. Frame restoration is going to be what you are willing to accept. A perfect frame with no rust pocks, holes welded, painted in and out will be expensive $20-50k. Just to grind down, sandblast and repaint like you stated will be at least $10,000. A nice Superliner went for $15000 with aluminum frame, E9, and nicely painted in the past a member here had it. They were out there, maybe still. Air lines and hoses are things that you should be able to do. Having a hobby truck is having something to tinker with and work on. There are things the go wrong, break and just need replaces. You will go broke if a truck shop is going to maintain your vintage truck. DOT Hoses, lines and fittings, $1500 should cover it for parts. American Big rubber tires: $3500-$4500 for a set of 10 Hope that give you an idea of what you could be looking at. Buy the best condition truck you can to start with and you will be money, time and work ahead. Then go out an have fun with it. -

Seriously I'm reading about people (Mack owners) complaining about mack power loss, and I'm a driver all my life in the Mack. My 1999 CH 613 was so reliable truck sold with 2 milion miles never problem with anything, but reason to sell was loss of power, gears droped uphill with empty Double drop trailer. Now I have nice ride (compared with CH) CXN613 that was so strong that Pete with C15 Cat could not run away from me on big hills.... until same thing happens. One day it starts idling 500rpm I fix that but turbo boost drops from 40lbs on hill to 28-30 dropping gears on every hill and nobody knows why. I learn a lot about Macks and trust me it's still good solid truck compare to others but this issue really getting on my nerves and I wish that someone of this Mack specialist can answer this Virus attacking this engines, I didn't run into nobody yet but those part changers to ask me did I check this and that...filters 🙄🙄🙄, or telling me it maybe this maybe that. I can't listen to it no more. I love this stubborn trucks but if they don't fix this issue I will be forced to.... buy another MACK· 0 replies
