Thanks, It was worth a try. Maybe I can locate a blown donor engine. Really weird being the rocker arm itself is readily available. Not sure if they can be rebuiilt/repaired. I believe I have one that is damaged when a valve spring keeper broke and the exhaust valve stuck a piston. This one just wont stay in adjustment

also "back in the day " the gas like many items today was very different. wouldn't consider the hose/ suck the gas from tank in today world. if reason is for mechanical reasons it's understandable. tank needs to have a pump etc, the algae stories many prove other wise .

I know fuel tanks outside the frame rails must be able to pass a drop test, filled and dropped at different angles and can not leak (or leak more than a spec'd amount) to be approve for road use. I do not, however, know if gasoline and diesel have to meet the same requirements or if gasoline is stricter requirements.

far out thought; gas vs alum becomes a hassle , and staying with the gas ; even though you have the alum tank , acquire a steel tank and paint it alum ??

As has been pointed out, other equipment uses aluminum for tanks. I wonder how much of the "not approved for Gasoline" has to do with emissions and venting requirements for gasoline and roll over requirements for the same? My old step tanks from "back in the day" state for diesel or gasoline, but the lower bungs are not to be used for gasoline. (I.E. no cross over or gravity feed).

Hahaha I honestly didn't See the number the first time 😅 🙃. My brain's still fried from my long day yesterday. Unfortunately my Boss is in the hospital right now otherwise I'd pass it on to him.

This was about all I could find about sealing new aluminum tanks. I think I'll just put the thing on when the strap rubber gets here and hope for the best. If I have issues I'll have to put a tank behind the cab I guess.

That idea of putting epoxy sealer (not a DD screamer) into the new tank was floating over my mind. And I didn't point that out since in a case you have a clean brand new tank the straight simple way just installing it seemed very attractive. But on the other hand considering options and adding some reasonable amount of efforts into a deal could pay off in the future. I don't see any issues applying sealer to a new alu tank. Sure you should check out the particular compound on its applyability to alu. Also you better degrease the inside of the tank with suitable degriaser before sealing and be sure that light evaporating stuff to not poison your breath of make big boom. On the other hand from those arguments above the worry of use alu tank for gas is water which could get collected in the fuel because of alcohol. But I guess water wouldn't affect aluminium really fast even being poured clean right into the tank. So adding fuel stabilizer and not allowing old gas to take place for a long while should secure you quite enough from notable tank inside corrosion.

The engine you see on the pictures is 2 valve since you can see injectors aside of the valve covers. So that could be 865 or 866. E9 (and also E7 and E6 4V) had lager (wider) valve covers and injectors aren't seen at the outside since their location is in the middle of the 4 valve seats in the cylinder head. They're put straight vertical in relation to piston and hidden under valve covers. Looking by overall design E9 was built basing on those prdecessing 2V V8's but with 4 valve heads. The displacement was enlarged though. ENDT-1000 or (and?) 1005 were 4V engines and looked very close or similar to a E9. There was a post a long while back with pics of an experimental R700 which had ENDT-1005 under the hood. Looked very similar to a E9 (4 valve heads). I must be having that pic on my hard drive, just need to rifle through it to pull up. Hope our discussion in this particular case adds attention to the thread and helps selling the truck. Not just a flood up.

You're absolutely welcome. The DO cover their own workmanship, but I feel like they'll do fine with a manual transmission; all of our failures were with automatics. They've done a good job with the couple of diffs we've used.

They're not lying, no dealers in the system (both US and Canada) show any, and PAI doesn't even list it anymore. I checked all my old part sources and found nothing. Maybe someone here can help, but I don't think I can...

The Facebook listing says it belonged to an amusement park company so its probably from the same outfit.

Time to call the number listed in the post?

Hi there! Although I haven't worked alot on those particular brakes, only once or twice, I think changing the master cylinders is a good idea. Try gravity bleeding first, then manual bleeding with assistance if necessary. If required, pressure bleeding can aso be a possibility in your heavy equipment for sale. Even if the model is unusual, it's amazing that you were able to find the necessary pieces. Good luck, and don't hesitate to seek for assistance if you need it. I hope you get the answer to your query.

Boost leak? Is the EGR valve still on the engine?

I just want them to answer me if it's still available. I don't care about engines or the originality of the truck or motor. My boss has been looking for a Superliner and this is in his Price range 🙌 l

I thought it was the same paint scheme as this other marketplace post I found but no. Looks about the same wheelbase though and the ad says it was a house mover at one time. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/429952142891241

There is a carnival company in Northeast PA that runs Mack’s in this livery. I’ve never seen this MH though. Sheldon Endy has a Cruiseliner that was theirs and brings it to Macungie

All the pictures looks like superliner 1 last produced in early half of 85. The superliner 2 was produced last half of 85 something doesn't seem right with this being an 86

Wow, I guess I am lucky then. I only have to go from the blue dot to the red balloon to get non-ethanol. It's only a couple inches on the phone.

Tons of black smoke usually when it gets down in rpms around 1000 sometimes it will lug then boom kick in smoke like hell then clear up 2005 Mack chn 613 427 motor deleted sorry high rpms clears up im lookin for leaks could it be pop off valve ? I know very little about Mack engines this is first one so I don’t know the what’s or why’s these are a different demon for sure anything helps thanks

l'm thirty miles away from a non-ethanol pump. We make the trip when needed and come home with twenty five gallons (5/5s) in the back. And top off the pick-up while we are there. .....Hippy

He would have to use a Dt466 or 7.3/6.9 V8 if he wanted to diesel swap it. Those are the "rules" lol We don't get an option to buy ethanol free gas at our only station where I live and I don't even know what the ethanol percentage is. I have to rebuild every carb I own about every year though so there is definitely some in there.

Thanks. I enjoy shifting this one. If you're smooth on the throttle and gentle with the sticks, it'll walk right through the gears with very little clutching. Both my trucks have the same transmission, TRTL-720. The only difference in them is the B73 has a double disc and clutch brake. The big thing is being gentle and watching your RPM. Still learning and getting to know this one and what it likes.

I wish I could swap in a 6-71, that would be the cat's ass. The only reason I don't is not having the knowledge, skill, money, shop, talent, and know how.
