Given the number of CF's in your county it might be wise to start looking for a donor truck to share among the departments. They come up on govdeals.com pretty regularly. You may even luck out and find a better off VFD from another area willing to make a donation.

Have you checked on availability and price of the rear at a Mack dealer?

No not yet I will be calling in the morning to find out how much it will be to rebuild it.

Greetings to all! Our fire department has just purchased a 1987 Mack CF and we were coming home with it and due to the former departments lack of interest in maintaining proper upkeep on the truck the rear end went out. It had no oil in it. So we are now looking for a rear end for it. I will enclose the part number and series as well as the ratio for it. If anyone out there has one that they are willing to sell or donate we are in despirate need for one. We currently have an operating budget of only 2,500.00 per year and will have to have it repaired used. Thanks for any help or knowledge.

Series: CRD1171 VIN 1M2A152C6HMOO1188

Part Number: 11KH4167BP12

Ratio: 4.88

Make: Mack

Model: CF 688FC

Year :1987

Rear End has Disc Brakes, and is 6 spoke. 10 X 22.5 tires

THIS TRUCK CAME FROM North Caldwell in Essex County.

Still need to know the final drive of the transmission. You likely have a 300hp diesel with 1:1 final drive. If that's true a 4.17 rear would give you about 62mph at 2300.if that's to slow a 3.87 would give you about 68mph if it's to fast a 5.02 would give you around 55mph and more low end grunt. Some of the other fire truck guys should advise as I just ran dump trucks...

Looks like Harlan County is cornering the market on "CF" fire engines. That's good; like to see them still in service. I passed through Bristol, VA/TN on I-81 last

year; I didn't realize how close I was to Harlan County. Oh, well, maybe next time I'm down that way (would love to go to NASCAR at Bristol).
