R model running warm but idles normal
alex g replied to Joe palka's topic in Engine and Transmission
Could be a faulty gauge I have had this experience in past. If changing filter lowered your temp you may want to flush your rad. Sounds like your not getting a good flow. -
Should be a buzzer relay in fuse panel.

1983 Mack superliner front rear problem making funny sound
alex g replied to Lucky dogg's topic in Driveline and Suspension
I changed a hanger bearing once and it turned out to be wrong bearing although it fit in place but it pushed driveshaft in to bearing made alot of noise and resonated through truck. Possibly trans you changed could be a touch longer -
If anyone was ever passed by a can hauler my uncle had a fleet of V8 superliners pulling doubles. They were well known to be fast trucks back in the day. I borrowed this pic from Google images because most pics we had burned in a house fire. My apologies if I stole anyone's images.

Have you tried a truck parts supplier. Mack is famous for saying no longer available. I shop at Traction alot for parts. Not sure if there's one near you.

Mid 40's Mack Firetruck
alex g replied to David Johnson's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Not sure exactly what performance your boss is expecting to get out of a truck pushing 80 years old but before spending a Lot of time and money I would inspect your current brake system and service it. Drum brakes work fine for a parade truck. Your wheel cylinders are probably half seized and brake drums are probably rusty from sitting. If you get it working properly it will probably be good enough. -
I have the following gray tan and black R model dash parts. Some are brand new. $100 each. Also have a brand new plastic heater cover. It is also new has never been installed but is slightly faded on face. $400 Can bring to Gerharts.

Id look over tires and brake adjustments for starters. Get all lights working check fluid levels and fan belts.check for leaks in air lines and valves and definitely bring a tool box with you for the drive home. If the fuel is old dump some conditioner in it and get some fresh fuel in it. Also check the vents on rear ends and make sure there Venting. That's a few things I can think of of top of my head. Oh ya avoid the law.
