The Mack dealer has the 1/4 blue knob for $12.88 next day as they did not stock it. There was one on ebay for $10 =$7.50 for shipping, if you bought all three knobs from the guy be worth it (combined shipping) but not for just one.

New Mack # 25152255 that crossed from the one Jim posted.

Are they cab corners or over the door if tell are over the. Door my R had 4 inch rectangular speakers and I think my superliner ones are just 6 inch round they mount in the headliner on both

An upholstery guy in town I am trying to learn the custom stuff but f'up most of it. I buy the material and jack around with it till I am frustrated. Then take it to him,10 minute's later he is all done. He cut new card board for the headliner, I did the plastic console after fixing cracks and reinforcement, I used the black cloth headliner material it looks good except were it got to close to the heat gun but it is by a screw and you can't see it. He charged me $100 per door and $150 to do the headliner and $70 for the other pillars and over the door he made new cardboard pieces. I supplied all the fabric.

I have learned enough I plan on doing the sleeper.

Looking for the plastic clip holder that holds the ends of the visor if they are still available a part number would be great mine is broken on the drivers side

My Two Cents

If you decide to put radiant heat in make sure that you get specs for the proper length and size of the heat coils and insulation based off your location and floor size and make sure they put them at the proper depth in the concrete. Don't skimp on the under floor or perimeter reflective material and insulation or the amount of coils needed.

My neighbor has it in his shop and after 5 years of tweaks and adding additional insulation and consulting a specialist his is finally working good. He thought he was doing it right, the building people sold him on it and provided the plan and said we do this all the time. A reputable heating engineer that specializes in this type of heating needs to be consulted, otherwise like my neighbor you will be chasing issues and efficiency. Insulation should be Closed Cell spray foam at least two inch than you can finish with fiberglass or open cell. 2 inch of closed cell is like R14, the closed spray foam that I used is fire retardant and does not need to be covered. I had my roof, side wall 18" down and gable ends done on my 30x50 for around $3000. I had already insulated the bottom 8ft and covered in OSB. This past fall I finally finished of the top six 6ft of wall.

I added a this for my heat source, inexpensive takes less than 10 minutes to get back up to 60 form the 32 when with both doors 12x12 open. So far pretty reasonable to work, and with the shop completely insulated it seems to stay about 15 degrees warmer than outside. Seems to do the same in the hot summer 15 degrees cooler if I keep the doors closed.

Not sure myself, it is a big gas engine, EN510. I need to measure that it will fit though, the 6-71 is 5 ft long.

Worst case I could box the front of the frame. I wonder how much a END510 weighed as I am sure Mack didn't change truck frames.

It seems the Victoria Sharp account matches the released FBI video. http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/update-new-details-emerge-about-lavoy-finicums-death-hes-like-just-shoot-me-and-they-did/

The Mark McConnell story is quoted a lot but his is really a third hand hearsay of the account. Not sure why if he was a armed body guard he was released and not charged.

Ryan Bundy, 43, of Bunkerville, Nev., suffered a minor gunshot wound in the confrontation about 4:30 p.m. along U.S. 395. He was treated and released from a local hospital and was in FBI custody, authorities

said.http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2016/01/oregon_militia_standoff_shots.html

Apparently, this happened after Robert "LaVoy" Finicum was killed, and they were shooting into the truck at the end.

I find it odd they are compared to "terrorists" but they did not charge any of them with domestic terrorism, but thy did the Hammonds.

I read there were some other arrests of supporters in Nevada under the conspiracy charge.

Looks like the shooter shot him in the back with a rifle.

Why were they shooting into the cab afterwards? The windows were up not like they could open the door in snow that deep with out some effort.

I have been looking for a cummins 4bt or 6bt , but the ones I have looked at were pulled and all "runners" with $2500 to $3500 price tags. I been searching for buses and bread truck and pickups that are in running condition as it would be nice to have all the extras if needed like a radiator, air compressor etc..

I was trying to stay small diesel engine and looked at a couple perkins and a 4-53 that would run, they both needed transmissions what they were asking for everything I thought was a little on the high side.

I did find a 6-71 with a seven speed spicer in a single axle with cracked frame and rust issues with air brakes that will yard drive, but don't know enough about the A54 to know if the frame would be heavy enough for it.

Open to expert opinions.

Thanks!

Any one have the part # for the Blue Knob on dash that takes the roll pin?

It does not take the 3/8" knob it is 1/4" with roll pin

It was a whistle I inspected the intake tubes and elbows there is one that has a hole in it I would say for debris and it looks like the inside of a whistle I took most everything apart and inspected it and looked for leaks, the noise seemed to be coming from the drivers side so I think this is the culprit. It had a hose clamp on it so it is probably supposed to have a hose on it that doesn't allow the whistle. I put a couple layers of 3 inch good quality vinyl electrical tape over it and I was planning on taking it out for a test drive but it didn't work out today.

If you cant find the smaller diameter ones do like what carlotpilot said, just clean it up replace the pancake for about $2 and you should be good.

Take the old one with they should be able to cross it if they know what they are doing

I found this looks like yours but I would have them measure it

No pictures yet, I ended up taking the interior out, the horns did not work and they mounted the valve backwards and the valve is broken. I did get some odds and ends done but did not get outside to wash it good to knock the dust off. Kinda disappointed in the way a few things were done but it is what is I will just fix it and try to get over it.

Tomorrow supposed to be in the 60s so a good day to wash it up if I can locate the air valve.

Congrats

No matter if it was 60 x 100 it would never be big enough, at least this way you can store the trucks out of the weather.

I'm glad that someone is preserving the documentation.

However, I've never cared for the tone over at the ATHS. Though lacking the ATHS's wealth, the ATCA is a much warmer group of people.

Not sure what the tone is you are talking about but since I have been a member couple three years I have not heard anything that was controversial, I volunteer maybe a couple times a month and there is a lot of work to do to keep the place organized.

I am a chapter treasure, so far what I have seen locally is we have a hard time getting everyone to attend <<<we have 38 members and dues are $15 a year>>> the truck shows, but most are up there in age and not many younger guys. We do try and have good fellowship when we get together, just about every meeting we do a Breakfast or Lunch, that usually brings folks in but not always. The local chapter co-sponsors a few different events like a hog roast, Touch a Truck and the Midwest All Truck Nationals, with the Cat Club, Chevy Club and International Harvester Club.

FYI The Three Trails Chapter is sponsoring an ATHS open house with a BBQ lunch in March.

looking Good!

That is not the same painter that did yours is it?

Check the Anaroid . Have to say, like the look!!!

I thought about that but there does not seem to be any performance issues except that it smokes at idle. According to the PO, one of his drivers tried to "turn it up" and they sent it to the shop to get the pump put back together, and since then it smoke at idle.

Probably could use an adjustment on the pump pressure but I think first I will check the intake hoses to see if there is a hole or leak as it only happens under boost pressure. Start with the easy stuff and see what happens.

Today I went and picked the truck up from the painters, have some stuff I need to fix, seems the high beams no longer work so I will have to see whats going on with that. The new headliner is in but the air horn doesnt work and they never hooked up the two new seats.

Well now just need to have the sleeper painted so I can mount it. Hopefully that will take less time but I am not holding my breath.

Pictures in the morning.

I think the turbo will need replaced it seemed to make a hard whistle when crowding it. Maybe I am not used to it since I have not driven the truck in 7 months. It has a Cummins 400 seems that when I get around 12 to 15lbs of boost it makes whistles than jumps up to 25 to 30 if I let up a little on the throttle but hold steady on the rpms the turbo quiets and the boost drops back to 5 to 10 and hold steady, push down again and the turbo whistles hard and the boost jumps up to 25 to 30. At first I thought it might be the visor I added like when you crack a window but after realizing it was related to the throttle it was easy to duplicate.

Can you just chase the treads that are on it? Or have some made?
