Were they OEM pins with the 1/2 inch thick plug or the old plugs style about a 1/8 thick? Always jack up front axle to grease. It's possible the grease seal in the top below the bearing is in backward. It should be in so the seal release the grease toward the axle. If its in wrong it holds the grease in and puts pressure on the top cap.

yes they are the OEM pins with the thick caps, will have to check the grease seals to be sure how they were installed.

Replaced kingpins in one of my RDs and the cap that goes on top keeps pushing out . Have tack welded and still pushes out. Ideas?

Friend of mine cut off the outer rail and is welding on a new set.20131004_125022.jpg20131004_125144.jpg20131004_125209.jpgResampled_2013-10-05_18-30-31_447.jpg20131006_160156.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131006_160210.jpg20131007_172320.jpg20131008_130236.jpg20131009_180136.jpg

great looking lettering by a talented dude thanks Mickey

Looks good. Nice color. I've always been told the cross member nuts go on the outside so they can be checked or tightened. Any thoughts on that?

. I agree with you on the bolts,guy that put them in drives a Peterbilt though so you cannot expect to much.

Where is the trunnion cracked

Love those headlights . Would like them on my CH.

Off your topic a little, I did not know you could get a 500 in a CH.

What is the number on the hubs. I have a 1990 Superliner with Mack rear ends.

Really great show. Drove down from Maine and saw some great trucks and equipment. What a facility ,I am pretty sure they have every piece of iron they ever bought.

If I only knew how to post pictures I could show you the same setup on 3 of our Macks.

Chock the fronts and pound the hub back and forth with a big tire hammer. A little workout but not to bad.

Want more Superdog photos.

Been by Humphreys shop many times, that is one ugly crane. Very sweet Superliner though.

So when you called the good folks at Watt's Mack Sales and spoke to Barry (providing your model and serial number), what price did he offer you for the OEM compressor?

With the AC system (and fan clutch) in proper working order, I never experienced the slightest cooling problem with the older RWS/RWL nor the newer RWI600/700s, so I can't seen any reason for modifying the grilledensor.

. When I spoke to Watt's they told me 783.40 for the OEM compressor.

Looking for a Lund visor for a R model or Superliner cab

Thayer has a few Cascadias in the fleet now. They also have a shit load of old and new Mack's.

No luck with Napa, checking elsewhere right now.

. I will try Napa this week, my compressor says GM on it somewhere, but it also has another name on the tag just can't remember right now. The one on the truck is frozen up and does not turn at all.

Sorry I did not say thanks before.

Oh and the compressor does not have to change to go to 134 just the fittings and oil, I put the 134 kit in my old stuff but the compressor actually went out about a year later so I bought a new one that was identical to the old one just already had 134 compatible oil in it and the fittings are actually on the lines so no issues there either. I would just swap what you have over to 134 if it still works, replace the dryer with a new 134a dryer drain the oil and replace it and put on the adapter fittings and charge it up.

Last time I swapped one I took it to Napa and they had me one the next day at half price of Mack.

. I tried the local Mack garage and the one they priced me was 785 bucks. The newer style one my my RD is only 280 dollars. Just trying to update to the 134a compressor instead of R12 old style. What about the condenser ,that is 650 dollars ,I suppose that is not to bad since it is the whole grille.
