I have a 2007 ctp 713 dump truck that will use 2 gallons of coolant a day, there is no sings of leaks, I have not had it pressure tested, but have checked the lines for cuts, bulges, ect. Not going into oil. I brought a piece of equipment to a local cat dealer and he said they had issues like that with their egr valves. Does mack use egrs? I called my mack dealer but conveniently they didn't get back to me because I was looking of info, not making an appointment. Any suggestions will be apprecia

Day Two: 11-20-14

Me, my dad, and my uncle met at Barnes Concrete to meet the low-bed operator who was going to pick up 'Mater. We were on the road at 7:25am. The trip was uneventful except for Barb crying at the sight of 'Mater being loaded up. With that, we were on our way back to Putnam, CT. When we got back to Barnes, we unloaded it and brought it right into their garage, where another of my uncles was working as head mechanic (my dad had also worked for the Barnes family driving trucks for 20 years before go

Day One: 11-16-14

Me, my dad, and my uncle went up to Chesterfield, MA to look at 'Mater, a 1964 B61SX. We got there about an hour before dark to check the truck out. It was quite cold. The dump body was up a little bit, sitting on 6x6" blocks and it was full of frozen mud and scrap metal. The tailgate was down and chained about level with the bed and it too had mud frozen on it. The ears on the driver's side of the body were bent, not allowing the tailgate to be brought up and pinned in place. The owners had it

Looking for the right dog

G'day to all I have a B61 and recently while going to a old machine day I noticed he's the wrong bloody dog! He is a modern smooth ear for pulling the bonnet (hood) over to get at the engine. Would one of you fine ladies or gentleman have a picture of the correct dog mascot for a B61 1961 model? Thanks in advance Regards Chris BTW Bonnet is oz for hood Glovebox is oz for glove compartment And the boot is our word for trunk! Confused? Enjoy!

2001 mack vision/E7 rebuild/remack

Has anyone used the Mack engine rebuild program for E7 engines? I have a 2001 Vision E7 with a busted roller tapped. How much does it cost to rebuild the engine with Mack's Remack program? Is it a smart way to go? What are the pros and cons, etc. Thanks

Help 1989 Mack 350 dies under a load

Loses its prime when sitting then hard to start . The truck will start and idle and rev up fine but put it on the road and it dies. It also doesn't want to build rpms unless going downhill. It will restart after it dies and idle and run under no load. Changed fuel filters twice. The fuel is probably two years old but looks and smells ok. Where do I go from here? Thanks Gents.

Spicer Auxiliary transmission

I had ask for help in a earlier post, locating a Spicer 5831A gear box. I have had a lot of response helping me locate one and others have given suggestion on the installation. I would like to Thank everyone for that. But It has been pointed out to me by several, that the 5831 may be a little small going behind a old 300 Mack engine, and that a 8000 series Spicer would be closer in line with the torque. NOW! the question is does anyone know where I might find something like a 8341 which is a 4 s
