  1. You will have some low gears there. It may have been a oil field truck.glenn
  2. Greed is for real I know around here any time a drug ring of any size is busted in most cases they have a lot of guns and hi dollar toys and cars and trucks. Just like most people would like to have but know they have to work for them. I have all i need and more than i deserve and that ant much but i dont have to worry about you guys reading about me unless i die. glenn
  3. That was happening here a few years ago and may still be going on. On companty here would still a truck and salavage it over night and set the laft overs on the side of the road and then would get the job to pick up and hold for ransom the next day. He almost got caught one night so they started cuting ever thing and hauling to junk yard. I am talking about class 8 trucks. Some one at the junk yard saw what was going on and called in the cops. I was in their back yard one day and saw a lot of good fresh engines and trans sittin coverd up with a tarp and i looked at one and all of the tags wa taken off of every thing on all engines. That told me what was going on and not long after that they got busted. Easy money will lure some one ever time no matter how dangerous it is. They would hold those stolen trucks till insurance paid and that was then 55.00 a day plus recovery fees and it was big money for the tow com.He and the Hazmat clean up team was in to a deal together also. If he picked up a wreck truck he made sure the fuel tank was tore open and that way the hazmat team came out and the clean up on one fuel tank of this over turn truck was 55000 dollars. The owner lost ever thing he had when it was over. truck house and will work rest of his life trying to recover what he lost to the fat cats at hazmat and the state has to know what is gtoing on. gtlenn
  4. Not be cruel but you need to get a manual because if you dont know the timing then i know alot of other things you need to know about the Vmac. Look at the bottom of the flywheel housing for the timing marks. Tyhe vmac pump is timed on # 6 cyl and another way to time which is crude but will work is to go to cummins and get a timing indictator for a 5.9 diesel 12 valve with a p pump. It is a lttle plastic plug that will go inside of the governor housing were you timing sensor is and it has a slot that will go over the timing tang when pump is in time and the plastic plug will fit over the tang holding the tang in the middle of the opening. Then install timing gear on fron and start and watch for a timing code. If you dont have a active timing code then you are in time. If you do then stop and move the timing alittle one way and try. But with out the tools and willing to buy the equipment you are only guessing. I have a prolink that i can read codes and monitor with and if you dont have that you dont know if your timing is slow or fast if you have a timing code. You should watch ebay and go into tools for mack and some time you can buy tools that a man needs to check trhis stuff and some times it goes cheep because some guys dont know what it is for and just dont bid on it. good luck glenn
  5. Paul why will it not fit you B model is because not enough clearance under the cab? glenn
  6. Ok lay the regulator down flat on trhe table and look into the rubber plug. The ter. on the left is neg and the ter. on the right is pos and the ter in the middle that is laying down is the field. this regulator is for neg or pos ground but depends the way you wire to the alter. glenn
  7. I find that some of the test questions that cummins has on the promotions traing has to be written by young guys that are smarter than i will ever be but dont know much about real live engines. I seems some question will be nothing more than to find out if you can be tricked or not in the question in the study material. I hate this new stuff. The bad thing is it is to be done ever year because of newer and faster electrical componts. It is so much different than when i started in 65 .You need to be willing to work and keep your job clean and be willing to learn but now no one can keep up with it all. glenn
  8. Cloths pins will work on a E6 but then you have to pull the fuel pump and covers. And a E7 dont got any covers. glenn
  9. yes but i dont think it would live. glenn
  10. You need to use the harness made for that pryometer and dont shorten it. glenn
  11. years ago when i worked alot of macks we had a can of black hard grease that you could put under the lifter and it would hang all day. I dont know about a E7 but the little cummins we use chop sticks to hang from the top.
  12. the noise you hear with the clutch down if not the thro out brg will be center plate rattle and want hurt nothing. glenn
  13. And i always say that there is those that have and those that is going to. glenn
  14. I never saw it before but if you dont need it use it for a crack pipe. glenn
  15. E7 early engines had alot of cam problems but if that engine was mine i would replace the dampler on the crank if the block is ok. In most cases vibrations break the cam and then it will get the front brg because nothing to suport it.my 2 cents glenn
  16. Cummins had alot of trouble out of the early ones but they got that straight.
  17. Then your saying the Holsit will not work on a E6. I am glad you told me that because i have a Holsit on a junk engine that i was saving for my E6 if and when i need one.
  18. What he said about the rack. The #3 screw is a lever screw. That means lever along. glenn
  19. Ya we are talking about the E9 I had one sitting in the shop and we was mashing on it trying to find a miss and it shook a clock off a cement block wall hanging on a nail. They shake the ground they stand on.glenn
  20. I am one who like no noise at all and i like to use the jake where ever with out having the fear of a ticket or botheren any one. I think it is very childess in a grown man to wake up every one in town with jakes when all it is being dont for is to say ha guys look at me. I have listen to engines run all my live and am hard hearing over the rackety and dont need any more of it.What i do like is hear a engine run under load with a short muffler and long tail pipe but can live with out that for the sake of my ears. So much for that and that is free my 2 cents worth. glenn
  21. And one 711 had a head that had two 3/4" corner bolts in each end of the head under the fuel return line from the injectors. glenn
