I remember  using 4 671 Detroit's on a mud pump on a drilling rig and one rig had 2 8v71 on the rig one Motor had electric starter and the other had a air starter the clutch was air  later when one motor failed it was changed  was changed out to one 12 V71 .  

Your first post reminded me of trouble I have had with fuel lines when using braded fuel lines  like Aeroquip  the very thin liner inside the hose would separate  and collapse  and seal the hose closed  when driving because the pump is pulling more fuel after it stopped running  and not drawing a suction it would open back up and restart and run ok till the pump suction increase would collapse the liner again   . the place where this would happen the most is if the fuel line was inside the frame where the exhaust was near the line . 

what is a vmac and ficm ?

I worked in the oil field and have quit and found a new job   drilling for joe leaves a bad taste in my mouth .

The filter housing on the table uses the Baldwin filter # P-706-m 

The filter on the engine uses the two filter one on top of the other  ( Baldwin P194 ) there is a hydraulic filter (P194 HD ) 

both housings have one inch ports in and out .

The Baldwin filter # P706-M  the gasket is a O ring and I don't have a number for it .

when you get the filter get a new O ring   

A 5 speed main and 4 speed auxiliary work very well .

I Thought from the factory they all had Mack transmission because of the high torque ?

I could have made the same mistake  thank you for sharing  .

Maybe the bottom of the cab is twisted and that is causing the doors to not function as they should . also there is no cross member under   the fifth wheel  that I can see  maybe other bracing was left out to save weight  and the frame rail is pushed back causing the cab mounts to be in line  .

I remember just bolting the pads to the shoes  do they not do that any more ? 

 I have a military trailer M269 made in 1954  It was made by the Pressed steel car company   and I was wanting to know more about where they where located and  what else they made  before WWII when the war was going on and after the war or any thing some one may remember  . Thank you 

I just read where Biden put Harris in charge of protecting voters rights  if that true sorry I don't know what to say .

 looks like the same suspension used on a 43 White 666   I can't find any model numbers other then Timken in my books .

Rob  Thank you 

I have   lantern with two mantels  out side and was thinking of using DOT tubing to run a line from the regulator to the lantern about 20 feet . any thoughts on this ?

What will they reinvent  next    The electric switch   it  turns something on or off    it needs a price cap of no more then  4 bucks  no mater what it turns on or off or how it dose it .

I saw an the news that 10,000 to 20,000 national guard troops will be on hand for Biden's big day  to protect from the home grown terrorists   . That right there looks like voter fraud .

The press really has ugly names for the American people there today visiting a public building I did not see any monuments  pulled over and burned   . I feel like I was threated  and should not question any thing political .

I would say by seeing the rope rail around the bed this truck was used to haul drilling mud  .

Thank you 

I will just leave it alone it may have never been taken out .  

I was planning on adding a coolant heater to my Mack 673 by removing the large round port above the starter  I made a tool by cutting a large washer and welding it to a socket to get a good fit but it won't unscrew  so them I may go with a tank style heater .  any thoughts ?

In the mid 80's I bought a 53 GMC with a 302  and when replacing a leaking valve cover gasket I found a very dirty top end the engine had been rebuilt in the 70's   . Then a few years back it started leaking antifreeze and needed a head gasket I removed the valve cover and the top end was clean very clean I pulled the side cover the lifter also clean I had the valves done when  the head was off  then put it all back together  I never scraped or wire brushed anything it was so clean  the only oil I had used as Rotella 15-40
