Do not set fuel any more than a 350 HP because you will burn pistons and can spin brgs in bottom end.The bottom is weak when you start making too much power.I know you are going to get a lot of advice on more fuel but I started working on macks in 1965 and I have seen a lot of engines spin brgs because too much power ortoo much virbrations.The extra power is not worth it.Leve it set to specs and you can stay in it all day and not hurt it.

I know what you are talking about. I have been there and found out that you are only training the people who what you to buy there parts and install them and then get you to stand behind the job and then dont whant to pay. Then the court will agree with you that they do need to pay you and that is all they cane do far you. Bill clintin showed us how to handle the court.

Radio And Speakers In Macks
theakerstwo replied to ThaddeusW's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
In my B you would not be able to hear a radio. but the radio was a in the roof mount where you whant it and it had the antania on top that wkent thru the roof and the radio was held up by the antana and the spear was in side the radio so you want it close to you head to hear and then you would hit a bump in the road and now you head has sores .That is on a B I wolked for the Tulsa Mack in the mid 60s and have installed alot of then on new trucks the B was still in production when I started out as a mechanic.

That is a common ideal that I have see and told by truck driver for my 42 years of working on trucks that it will pull on the rear only. It pulls on bothl rear equaly because it has a power divider with a air lock or not. Glenn
