YOU MUST BE ABLE TO REACH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AS IF YOU WERE TRAPPED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND COULD NOT GET OUT.

MY 94 HAS A RIGHT SIDE SPLIT TANK. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS FACTORY OR NOT. I WILL GET YOU THE PART NUMBER ON THE TANK THE FIRST CHANCE I GET. YES THE WELD IS UNDER THE STRAP SO YOU CAN'T SEE IT. IF YOU LOOK IN MY GALLERY THE 94 RD TANDEM DUMP IS THE TRUCK.

I HAVE CHECKED ALL THE ADJUSTMENTS SEVERAL TIMES THINKING MAYBE I MISSED SOMETHING BUT I KEEP COMING UP WITH THE SAME RESULTS, SLIPPING UNDER A HARD PULL. ALSO NO OIL INSIDE BELL HOUSING SO I DON'T THINK OIL IS GETTING ON THE CLUTCH. TIME TO PULL THE TRANS.

REVISED: PLEASE CHECK OUT THE "FOR SALE" SECTION FOR INFO ON A 1988 R-MODEL WITH SUPER LOW MILES. THIS TRUCK IS BEING SOLD AS A CAB AND CHASSIS, IT WAS A WATER TANKER AND THEY ARE REMOVING THE TANK. THANKS.

YES, I WORKED FOR SLUSSER BROS. YEARS AGO, BUT MY EXCAVATING BUSINESS NEEDED THE TRUCKS ON MY SITE JOBS. I DO LOT CLEARING, NEW HOME EXCAVATING, SAND MOUNDS, AND ALOT OF TOPSOIL WORK. IN THE WINTER I CLEAR SNOW FOR SOME PLANTS IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK TO KEEP THE EQUIPMENT MOVING( THEY GOT A GOOD WORK OUT THIS WEEK) SMALL WORLD ISN'T IT.

I LIVE BY THE 80-81 JUNCTION, WE GOT 4 INCHES OF SNOW, THEN TURNED TO FREEZING RAIN FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS, THEN 1 HOUR OF RAIN WITH AIR TEMPS IN THE LOWER 20'S, THEN TO TOP IT OFF 12 INCHES OF SNOW ON TOP. THE RAIN TURNED THE FIRST 4 INCHES OF SNOW INTO A 3 INCH ICE PACK. WHAT A MESS!!!! INTERSTATES WHERE CLOSED FOR 40 HOURS WHILE PLOW TRAINS OF 8 PENNDOTS TRUCKS TRIED TO CLEAR THE ROADS. ALL SIDE ROADS BECAME TRUCK PARKING LOTS. IT'S NOW SATURDAY NIGHT AND THINGS ARE SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO NORMAL, WHATEVER NORMAL IS. NOT MANY ACCIDENTS, JUST PEOPLE STUCK.

Would anybody have an interest in a 1962 concave cab. I'm looking at a B model for parts and the cab is of no use to me. I do not know the condition until I get it home. I do not know popular these cabs are if at all.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS REBUILDABLE

I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL IS ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE AIR CLEANER, ARE THEY RIGHT SIDE DRIVE?

NEED MORE TRACTION!!!!!!!!!

BARRY, ANYWAY AN E-MAIL NOTICE CAN BE SENT WHEN SOMEONE REPLIES TO A TOPIC. I'M ALSO A CAR COLLECTOR AND BELONG TO A CAR GROUP AND RECEIVE AN E-MAIL NOTICE EVERYTIME SOMEONE RESPONSE TO AN ARTICLE THAT I ALSO RESPONED TOO. ANY THOUGHTS?

2 valve is the better bet, since the 4 valves where prone to cracking the blocks in the bottom end. Then they came out with the E-7 with buttress bolts to strengthen the bottom end to end cracking.

He's standing by a truck in that pic? How 'bout that seatcover standin' there with em'!

TRUCK! WHAT TRUCK?

I INSTALLED A NEW SLICER CLUTCH IN MY SUPERLINER LAST WINTER, HAVE ABOUT 35,000 MILES ON IT, SOME ON- ROAD, SOME OFF-ROAD PULLING LOWBOY, DUMP TRAILER, AND WATER TANKER FOR SWIMMIMG POOLS. RUNNING A 500 WITH A 12 SPD., CLUTCH IS SLIPPING ON HARD PULLS. I TRIED TO ADJUST IT TO SPICER SPECS- .500 CLEARANCE BETWEEN THROUGH-OUT BEARING AND CLUTCH BREAK BUT DID NOT HELP. CLUTCH PEDAL DOES NOT HAVE A FIRM FEELING TO IT WHEN YOU START TO PUSH IT DOWN, SEEMS TO ME LIKE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE PRESSURE PLATE. EVERYTHING WORKED FINE UP TO ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN IT NEEDED AN ADJUSTMENT BECAUSE OF LACK OF FREEPLAY IN THE PEDAL. ANY HELP?

I did my e-7 400 over, had pump turned up, superflow injectors, and a 427 turbo, truck puts out 460HP and runs around 205 on a hard pull, you could not believe the difference in power. This truck is mechanical, no computer!

I've run Lucas in my v-8 since i rebuilt it, no problems, also run lucas fuel treatment in the winter and have not had a freeze up. I'm going to try the red and tacky grease on my machines next to see how it holds up under pressure and heat.

If anyone is looking for a 1959 cabover mack, one is for sale on online trader,single axle for $2600, located in CA. Look up heavy trucks, then macks. TRUCK LOOKS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE.

LOCATED BRACKET DEALER, WEB SITE IS WWW.EZGRIP.COM, WORKS GREAT FOR SITE WORK TRUCKS.

I run my e-9 500+ every day, I rebuilt it 2 years ago (20,000 miles) had the pump turned up, burns no oil, loaded or not. Runs like a v-8, lots of black smoke when hard on the throttle!

I have the hook and loops on the flaps already, they work fine if you can get the drivers to let go of the steering wheel and get out of the truck to hook them up, but on jobs when your dumping 20 or more loads a day, drivers get lazy. I saw a truck once with brackets spring loaded that the bracket does not move, its bolted right to the truck solid. You use just a small pipe about 18 inches long to open the clamp and then you slide the flap in. If you do forget to look in the mirror and do back into a pile the flap just pulls out and can be put right back in. I check the local mack shop and they never heard of them.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO BUY MUD FLAPS HOLDERS FOR DUMP TRUCKS THAT HOLD THE FLAPS WITH SPRING PRESSURE SO IF YOU BACK INTO A PILE, THE FLAP PULLS OUT WITHOUT DAMAGE AND CAN PUT BACK INTO PLACE QUICKLY. ALSO LOOKING TO BUY CHROME BULLDOGS THAT GO ON TOP OF ROOKIE RODS, [GUIDE STICKS] WHERE DO YOU BUY THEM? THANKS FOR ANY HELP.
