  1. Yup agree with Joe re check the set ! If the valves are rocking on six ! Set one! And proceed thru the thru the firing order! It’s not magic just simple 4 stroke dynamics!

    Help

    Frame to starter ground hooked up?
  3. Joe If you look back on most history of the mack line up most of the large off hyw units had an off set cab The CL350 and a lot of the mining trucks had off set cabs so in my opinion you are correct! also the top forward facing windsheild on the Cl 350 and some mining cabs I think was borrowed from the ship building archives in my opinion!
  4. Do so thats Great we will all learn something
  5. check the coolant level!
  6. check your coolant level!
  7. I think you'll be fine the heat install is probably a good thing as it will likely shrink tight! the proper tool for this pushes the wiper and the seal in one swoop! The ring will be pushed in by the flywheel as long as the dust lip clears the flywheel all will be good! Back in the day they had a rather useless ring installer had four adjustable tabs on it for installing it the way you have done!
  8. Good job bro never tried doing either of those methods nice to know it worked! Just a side note the fly wheel will push the wear ring in a tad so make sure your seal is in deep enough that it doesn't rub the dust lip! the other worry is the wear ring being heated you would have no sealant under the ring! we had one of these cause a three time re and re in the worst model flat fender RD 12 speed due to the ring slipping on the crank once the engine warmed up due to a poor wiper ring install! Just sayin!
  9. To be honest I only ever worked on one of these ! So I cant tell you Much How ever I see know reason you couldnt reseal it in frame getting the seal in and out may be tricky thou! You'll likely have to fab up some special toolage!
  10. Hi is the clutch brake mounted on the counter shaft? do you have the seal?
  11. Joey a guy would think if he pu on a spark or arcing it would be a power wire !
  12. Agree being kept in the dark is good some times! πŸ˜‚ Thanks for posting your fix! Definitely something to try if your search for clues! Turn the lights out!
  13. One could argue that Volvo is a safer truck than others Cause it has an Air bag! After all it is a Girly looking unit! That said back in 2004 when Mack had all the turbo and fuel line issues I was having the same thoughts Go thru my head ! would like to have seen the stats on how many truck fires happened over that Feasco! GONG Show!
  14. Ahh bummer! Sorry bud eBay?
  15. check these guys out! PAI Online (paiindustries.com) that part number comes up in their system!
  16. I have both setups in my box so handy I even made an adaptor for MP engines from an old oil pressure sensor! its nice to have a 2-3 inch pipe nipple and coupler to change up to an elbow of some sort there . that way you can use plastic or wire braid or what have you on the hose to the gauge remove the cap from the crank case breather for easier access! I have a long hose to monitor from the cab when driving! I use this setup for oil preasure fuel preasure and air! 8ft of 1/4 single braid hose ! handy for most all testing !
  17. yup good thoughts on that there! But some people think differently ! My honda is auto trans they recommend only change the oil every 50000 k All the oil oil is never removed there is no way to flush the trans and torque From my experience with the product you need to follow this drain and fill rescheme or you end up with a trans with sluggish shifts ! So accentually you do a half change every fifty thou!
  18. Yup more the marrier ! Jump in with both feet let us know when you touch bottom! 😎

    I also built an 83 yota 4x4 rock crawler with my son and we married frame parts from a Pristine two wheel drive with a blown engine to the 85 or so club cab 4x4 ! of coarse a lot of after market gear went into this unit as well it was fun to build ! tons of after market stuff out there for the 4X4 yota crowd!

    Problem is with spending even 2000 bucks on a frame if someone runs into you your vehicle is worth barely a 1000 in the eyes of the insurance criminals!

    Joey about 20 years back I bought a project truck for my daughters first vehicle ! 83 yota 4x4 had the same or worse issues I had a old 70's f150 frame layin around the claim. I cut the yota frame off at the back of the cab and I married that rear section to the yota by way of an out sert that extended to the front cab mount just behind the front rear shackle! took a lot of slicing and messing about to the ford frame but the job turned out great ! bought the truck for 750 sold it for 4300 . I also built a flat deck for it as the box had alot of rust ! I bolted the outsert to the oem frame and the flanges were a snug fit to the top and bottom! Just another avenue of repair if you got a good cab and old f 150 frame laying about! πŸ˜‚
  23. My god couldn't imagine running the Detroit powered unit all day in a field U would be def in no time! My Dad had and Alice chamber's hd5 cat 2 71 it was noisy as all get out! Nice group of pics! Nice stash of tractors !
  24. Yup been there done that one too! Even had that happen on a tractor under a loaded B train! Just another experience! Managed to chain the axle and get it to the shop as well! Saved a tow bill anyway!
  25. Yup agree there Paul ! A lot of guys are just pin to pin and assume the trailer they slam under has brakes and everything is tight and set! in defense of your situation there if you are travelling on back roads and dog trails a lot shit can happen a lot quicker Also have seen where on Five spoke hubs the webs can break off on the back side and you would not see them broken or could happen while in transit ! Seen this happen more than once ! When ever I have wheels off these I tend to look for cracks on the flange ! I am Not a fan of five spoke hubs! A six spoke is more durable That said However ! You run what you brung!
