I would guess if you had cleaned that breather earlier the truck would eat all the organic from the tank even together with algea and alu brightener. But that's of no matter now and doubtly you would like to provide experiments putting the old tank on and putting old dirty gas in it. P.S. The girl worth a half of the thread.

Air conditioning problems
Joey Mack replied to Concrete cowboy's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
I am not able to answer most of your tech. questions, GW.. but what I do know, is it makes trouble shooting A/C issues harder, especially on a road call, and you dont have a laptop with the correct programming. Even with A-Pads on the truck I have struggled with them. I dont like to just throw a compressor on as a guess, I want to know why, before I spend the customers money.. -

I've never seen what you are saying it has, do you have a picture? How is the pulley retained if the clutch is behind? How is the air gap adjusted? Where is the electo-magnet and how does it pull? It can't push the internal plate out so must pull something. In automotive there are some totally clutchless compressors the have a movable swash plate and a shear point on the shaft in case it locks up. Supposed to 0 out if it is low on refrigerant, and supposed to shear if the compressor locks. Lots has changed since I got out of commercial work, so am open to learning new stuff I haven't (yet) seen. -
I nothing about this brand, but a quick few seconds on Google https://affordable-fuel-injection.com/product/intl-harvester-complete-tbi-system/ Holley and other companies make a similar thing Turns something with a carby and points that you have adjust and fiddle with into like modern car type of motor Paul

I was going to Covington with a load of wood chips one time, 1979. I was driving a '74 Transtar with a VT903 in it and halfway up this really steep hill called Buffalo Ridge it just quit. Like it was out of fuel. Stopped dead in the road. I knew I had plenty of fuel, I think it was 4 loads I could run from Dillwyn to Covington before I had to fuel, maybe 3, but anyway I knew I had plenty. However, even though I knew I had plenty of fuel and there had to be some other problem I looked in the fuel tank anyway and there was no fuel to be seen. Then I went around and checked the tank on the passenger side and fuel was running out of the top of the tank as soon as I unscrewed it. About that time a car pulled up behind me and I told the man in it that I was broke down. He offered me a ride to the nearest phone to call headquarters, and I accepted. This was long before cell phones of course. I told him just let me go put that fuel cap back on and set out my triangles first. When I walked back up the hill to the truck I put the cap back on and noticed that the fuel had gone down a lot. So I got in and tried to start it again and it fired right up. I went on to Covington and dumped with no problems then went by the shop so they could fix that vent. I just loosened the cap a little until I got back, but it had sucked the left tank completely empty and the right tank was still completely full.

and the best part:::looks like she's a jeep girl. I'm going out to polish mine right now , case she shows up
-
apologize Sir didn't intend to double up on your statement. I did NOT read back that far.
-
besides all the fun; think of all the history you are saving. also rattle in vent is definite better. little metal ball lets pressure out and keeps foreign from going in.

Joey Mack started following Synchronizer in the Mack t310
-
It is impossible to do it 'in-chassis' without several special tools.. if you pull the trans out and stand it up on the bell housing, using some 2x8's, you can do it.. i highly recommend getting the book, this aint no parts changing job

My truck all the sudden won’t stay in high gear in any gear it jumps out of 5,6,7,8 gear but the stick doesn’t move. How hard is to change the synchronizer’s or woulD Be better to carry it to a transmission shop.
-
That is a check ball in the tank vent, lets pressure out, and keeps dirt from getting in... Theoretically

Oh, almost forgot- while I was cutting the bottom off of the aluminum can with my pocket knife this girl pulled in the driveway. She was asking for directions to Winfall, but I told her I was busy and didn't have time to talk and sent her on her way.
