If you think the cam is damaged, you can have it reground. I did one in my 94 E-7, reground the cam, reground the lifters, and had to buy one new lifter, saved a boat load of money compared to buy a new cam and all new lifters. Sent them out and had them back in about a week. If you need info on where I got them done, let me know and I will have to look for it.

I have not heard of this until now. Donations are coming in from all over the country. One report is The United Way of Western Conn. had $2.6 million in it as of Saturday morning from donations. It's their way of grieving, they just want to reach out. The town hall is filled with stuffed animals, dolls, and games for the children to choose whatever they want.

It must be the season, Just went out and bought the 55" 3D TV for my man cave, boy that was great , got the sound system too. Two day later the wife says the two year old dryer won't heat up, @#&%#. Ok, get on the computer to look up what could be wrong, Fricken computer won't compute. @#%@$$#&%$$#%$?. Off to the store for a new computer to find out what is wrong with the dryer.

Sounds like the current mrs fwd is a keeper. Better take her out for a nice dinner and flowers. Ain't love grand!

He tried to get them relined but they told him the lining was no longer available . One shoe would cost $265.00 already relined, that's just crazy.

A friend is replacing his brakes and can't seem to find shoes for his truck. He is working on a 1964 B61 rear brakes.Does anyone know where to get these shoes or is there a replacement number to change style? These are extreme service but he does not need these same shoes, can go with a lighter version if possible. 16 1/2" X 7"

WOW, that's it. Seems like it was just last week that I was there, no wait, it was last week.

Yep, there the ones.

I like one with BIG racks, I guess they are one in the same. LOL

Well last week I took my yearly trip to Ohio in pursuit of the elusive whitetail. When coming into the town of Zaleski off of 278 and turning right where it meets 677, I spotted a Dodge cabover tractor, single axle. It was sitting in a yard of older equipment. If anyone was looking for one, it looked to be in good condition, don't know if it is for sale, but if anyone lives in that area, maybe they can do a little leg work and check it out. I wish i had taken a picture but was in a hurry to get in the woods because my first passion is whitetails, sorry.

Finished the transmission, started Friday afternoon and finished Saturday night. All went well for the first time with the trans still in the truck. The right tool made the difference to hold the gears in.

I contacted my local mack dealer which help me out any chance they get. I asked the service manager to loan me the tools to do the job and they said no problem. The best part is they deliver the tools to me when they bring the parts, can't beat that. I've rebuilt several transmissions in the past, including 6, 12, and 8LL's but never still in the truck. I'm always up to a good challenge so next weekend we will do it. Thanks for the help and I will let you's know how I make out.

A friend of mine just bought a 06 Granite with an 18 speed. The problem is the case is leaking where they bolt together. He asked me if you can split the case in the truck to replace the gasket. Has anyone done this while in the truck on a 18 speed?

Yep. The truck won't divorce you and take half your stuff

Take half my stuff???? Hell I started with nothing and have most of it left. LOL

The local church youths group needed someone to pull a trailer for the parade. Superliner did good even though I never got out of 1st gear. I just found out today that they took 1st place.

This one was just for sale in my area on ebay. Different wrecker, a little high priced for me but if anyone needs it looked at, I would be happy too. Did not sell at $15,900

On an E7? wow you must have run into every possible issue I think that E7's in superliners are the easiest trucks I have ever touched, you can almost lay down behind the engine under the hood, I got used to working on T800KW's and set back Freightliners at Howard Baer you cant get two fingers around the engine, they SUCK!

I think you get a warning point just for talking about warning points so that means everyone on this post get one or two or more. Oooops, I think that includes me.

I tried the grease thing when I put a cam in my E-7, (DID NOT WORK). You can't get any left over oil out of the lifters and it seeps down and makes the lifters drop. I called my local mack dealer who I buy my parts from and were happy to loan me the magnets to do the job. If I had to do it again. I would push the truck outside and take the excavator and roll the truck on its side to do the work. LOL

I was hauling shale out of my buddies shale pit and saw this truck. Just thought you guys would enjoy seeing it. Looks to be in pretty good shape. They have it setting by their picnic tables.

I did the change over on my 94 RD. Changed the pump, got rid of the econovance, changed the fuel lines because the pump is in a different location now. Told the pump shop what I was doing. I wanted big power so they turned up the pump, put super flow injectors in it and replaced the turbo with a rebuilt 427 one. They told my they where getting 490HP from this set-up. I did a cab change on my truck because of a fire and replaced it with a cab that was mechanical. I changed the wire harness under the hood along with all the sensors for the motor, which are not many but including the tach sensor in the bellhousing. The timing get set by the book for a mechanical motors.

I saw a picture of a B-model grill that was made with shelves inside to display die cast toys. I thought it was on this site some time ago, maybe last year? I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to do one just like it. Does anyone remember it?

Someone told me once that the rockers from a E-6 were the same although I never checked for sure.

One of my b-models came with just a" bill of sale" and I had no problem getting a good title for it because of it's age.

I run a tri-axle 25 ton eager beaver with the power assist ramps, what a dream now that I'm getting older and wiser. I picked mine up from E-bay( actually bought it from the seller when it didn't sell) Paid $15,000 plus 2 grand to ship it from Florida to Pa. Half the price of a new one and at that time it was only 5 years old. Mine also has the longer deck which is 25' of flat plus 6' beaver tail.
