I have a 48" flat top off of a CH white in color free if some one will come get it.

I know two companys like that now in dump trucking.The drivers or some of them and all of their trucks is what makes the public look up at us with so much hate.Here we have a well balanced like/hate drivers in four wheels.One may cut you off and the next one will go out of their way to help you.

It may have been a case of some ones boss tired of hearing a driver playing with jakes.You know it happens some times.

I always turn the engine slow and watch the pressure gauge and when it comes up the highest then stop turning it.

Before some one ask you need to tell us what starter model you have.It very well could be that you would be better off replacing the starter.

I did one of those to my truck and i gained about 500lbs.

That is a freightliner suspension.Old like in the 60sand 70s

If its got a dynotard brake on it then it could have a oil leak inside the covers.

You do understand that this engine is a maxidyne.If i had a maxidyne i would not want it to be in the 400 hp range.If it was a not a maxidyne then i would use a 400/427 Vmac injector and turbo plus max out the rack on the pump and set timing at spcs for a 400.

Thats something i have never seen and maybe because i cant remember being inside of the five speed.

I have never seen a two counter shaft macktrans.

Rob go to the top of the page and you should see a envelope icon.and open it.

You could drill the flywheel housing and tap to 7/16 C/T like the older engine used.

I always use some blue locktite on those bolts.

Ok you knew that but i understood you to say they dont time so my mistake.

The single cylinder compressor is timed to a cummins engine.Not many guys know it and i dont know if it matters but look at a shop manual

3 mpg on fuel.Some guys speced them with 3.55s and run the engine at 1700max to help of fuel

The biggest problem i have run into when changing cabs is thru the years people have added wires and hoses and routed them their way.

What he said

First find out if the air pressure is staying at about 60 psi.If so and it grinds then remove rear box on the trans and repair.If the pins on the scycho are broken then two things will cause that.One is drive line and U/joint angles and also shifting the hi/low range in reverse.

This is not related to your problem but had a 18 speed that had a switch on the dash that would put the hi/low range in neutral for pto work.I have never seen one untill i found this truck.

On most taper brgs you will find that the inter race turns some thru its life.This is something that lets the brg last longer.On a eaton trans the counter brgs are a slip fit when new just like on a axle.

Any diesel needs the fuel pressure tested under load.I have a tee i made for putting inline before the injection pump that i made in the mid sixtes and still have it.I miss placed it a few times but always find it and yes a #4 hose will connect to it and you connect it to a wiper arm.I have tee i made also that will go in some of the suppy lines between the filters and supply line with a vacumin gauge connected to it.If you have a power problem that fiest thing i use and some times it will take a few miles under load to slow you something that cant be seen by just running the engine up.

About 3or 4 years ago we was haul asphalt toa new bank building here in Town.I was first truck to the lay down machine and the operator told me if some one ask you tell them you work direct for our company.I unload and start around the building to leave and a manwalks out and stops me.He ask what local i belong to.I say something and dont remember what but he said you need to not come back and by that time he was in my face.Some one else came out and said something and he leaves.So that was all that was said and we worked their maybe 3 days but they were all out of town contractors and he is going to thow me out of my town.I carry a can of wasp and hornet spray i have been wanting to try out.And if they like that i have something else i know he will like better.After that that leaves a brown taste in my mouth.I belonged to the teamsters for 6 years when i work at the old dealer and i never seen things like i see now.

Sounds like its been hit hard so if i had to do any checking i would pull clutch back and dial indicate the flywheel both ways and that can be done with trans still in.If it ok then pull front damper off and dial indicate the crank for run out It may be bent.Sounds to me like your being jert around by some of the repairs.Who would replacea trans for a virbation any way.Only way a trans can virbate is if front or rear shaft is bent.Now some people get a virbration and a gear growl mixed up and they are not the same.
