I have a 2015 with a Mack 18spd. All my older trucks are also mack 18spds, but I have the damnedest time shifting this new one. If you have luck with the fullers I'd run them. As for rears, I've had way better luck with macks for traction but if your highway driving it don't matter.

Of course you could get one till they quit making them......

I'm with Maddog

I'm all for being a nice guy and being fair but I can't really see helping this guy. If you didn't know the frame was repaired wrong, how would you be able to disclose that to him? That's why used vehicles are cheaper. It'd be one thing if you intentionality screwed this guy but it sounds like you were being honest. He should've inspected it better. I know.....I sound like a dick but people gotta take responsibility for their own actions

Exhaust manifold leak??

That is beautiful!

Someone once told me if your boost gauge flutters, move it to another port on the intake. They said you can get turbulence from out of the head

Here's what floored me..... No ditches along the road?! Lol that wouldn't work here. Your place is BEAUTIFUL!

When I was in college for heavy truck they always said a good rule of thumb is 30,000 hours to a million miles. But I know a lot of newer guys the computer shows 40mph average.

I guess it looks like the pete or kenworth now. Just a little more accents.

My trucks haul milk off of dairy farms. 10-12 pickups on a load then 70 miles on 70 mph interstate to the plant. The old '96 cl with 427, 18 spd, 3.86 rears and stage 2 injectors will average just under 8 mpg. Gross 79,000 when full. The 2001 cl with 460, 18 SPD, 3.86 rears and stage 2 injectors will do 6.8-7.4 mpg. The 2015 titan with a 525 18spd and 3.70 rears right now is averaging 6.2 overall. He grosses 89,000. I was taught when you drive you pretend there's a egg between your foot and the throttle. Don't crush the egg! But I have noticed that the quicker you get to cruising speed without stomping on the throttle the better your mpg is.

Is that a shaker cab or western star cab?

Technically you're supposed to pump grease into both grease zerks till grease comes out of all four caps with no air popping out. Then wipe off excess grease.

Great engine, great pulling motor. Check the coolant nitrate level before you buy it. I also like to replace injectors and do a valve set every 250,000-300,000 miles.

That is the noise it should make.

I don't know if you can tell from the pics but the dryer is hose clamped to a bracket and that bracket is just bolted to the radiator frame.

Just read your post, if one of my trucks is in my shop tomorrow I'll get a pic for you

My 96 cl rear was all milky white, changed grease and three months later it was full of water again. I ended finding the housing was cracked between the bolt holes on the banjo. Ended up replacing the housing.

My '01 460 stock would push 38-39 psi boost

Absolutely go aftermarket! But not cheap aftermarket. Duralite is the brand I always use. 7 year million mile warranty.

Looks awesome! I want some made of cherry wood please for a 2015!

Navistar will never be in my good graces unless someone new owns them. Their lying, law suits and disregard for owner operators makes them unforgivable. I know every company is concerned about bottom line, but the maxxfarce engines put small guys out of business. I have 4 trucks on the road, if I spent $180,000 on a new one and had so much down time how would that truck pay its way? How about the poor driver sitting in it? Then when its time to trade.....that truck that couldn't pay its own way is worth next to nothing. How about Navistar does this program for people who currently own these shit trucks?? Give them the 200,000 mile warranty, fix their emissions and egr setup! Stand behind the guys that use to have faith and pride in them. Instead they'll give you little on trade for it and then try to sell it to some poor guy believing this is all better now. I welcome Scania with open arms.
