  1. I know I'm gonna take a lota heat here but................. For the last year or so I've been using a tire from Mc Carthy Tire over in PA, It's called 'Double Coin'. It is about $80 per tire less then most top brands and is guaranteed in writing to cap 2X's as long as the casing is ok. The tire is wearing like iron.................BUT It's made in China! I know I said I would never do it !! But after your casing credit an the $80 bucks, it don't pay for me to run the caps

    We used them a couple of times, they are great tires.

  2. Believe it or not an ETECH with the right injectors turbo and computer flash will do over 2000ft lbs, I have the dyno sheet herre somewhere on a Etech 400 with an upgraded turbo, injectors and a computer flash at Illinois Dyno Center and it showed over 550hp to the rear wheels with rwtq at 1600 that puts it over 600hp and 2000ft lbs at the flywheel. I know a lot of guys that have done the Mak upgrades to get more HP only to be dissapointed after spending a fortune. I say go spend a little over a grand on a computer reflash and a set of injectors and if you have a 427 up turbo rock on and watch the pyro so you dont melt it down on a long pull, there is a lot of hp in those ecm's.

    Where do you get this flash done, read my other post to Mackpro

  3. They tell us stuff like that also, we hear you gotta change the trans or add an trans oil coller or get a bigger clutch or rear axles. They are just covering their ass if something goes wrong. And it mostly for warranty reasons so if you do blow a rear axle that was rated to low for the HP and try to get it warrantied. We let the customer know what Mack said and let the customer decied if its worth the risk. 99% say go with it. Its not like these engines are every gonna put out 2250 Ft LBS of power and tear something up. We always tell Mack, yea we changed the rear axle or clutch or whatever ( as long as the customer knows) and they crank the HP up.

    I have a RD with a etech400h.p., what I need to do to get it up to the 427/460 range with high tourqe. I will get you my vin # and turbo #. I am running 300h.p. injectors right now. I changed motors(through a rod out block) this one was used out of a garbage truck. I used my ECMS and electrical harness, turbo but did not change injectors, I still got my original ones. Used motor was rated at 300h.p., I do have that ECM as well.

  4. Yeah Im looking,( slowly) I would really like to find some 3.86 rears but 4.17 or 3.65 would work too.

    I have a set of 4.17 out of a 82 R-Model, front one has the air power divider and is pretty fresh, they were out of a 38000 pound camelback still in housings, I need housings for a 2000 RD on mack air ride or a cut off. THe truck is doubled frame. Mine are cracked and the rears have high mileage.

  5. Do you mean a complete air drier or just the dessicant cartridge replaced? If just the cartridge, was the purge valve rebuilt and possibly cut an O-ring?

    I would suspect a bad check valve on either the drier or the wet tank. It will bleed air out the purge valve if one of them is leaking.

    was a complete dryer from mack, blows off and the green needle (air guage) drops all the way to 90 PSI and the cycle repeats.red needle drops to about 105 psi.

  6. Whats to much? Every few second? Is this the reason for all the parts being replace? Does it build air to 125ish and continue to purge? What exactly does it do?

    Check the signal lines coming from the governor. Check routing, check for holes from rubbing.

    Blows off about every minute to minute &1/2, air dryer was changed for service, it does build air to 125, it just cycles to frequently. Signal line was replaced, no leaks in lines, orginal set up and routing.

  7. Here's the BCR. It was a twin screw when it was new but someone made it a single axle(they did use an old mack rear though). It's got a 237 with a 5 + 2 tranny. I've been looking for one of these for a while now. Actually I looked at this truck about 10 years ago but I didn't relise it was a BCR at the time because I didn't know what one was back then. Thanks, Josh

    What is a BCR other than a B-Model conversion

    ?
