I too, was hopeing that someone with knowledge would chime in here and help out.

Yes the MH is the Ultraliner, which came out in 82 or 83. The Cruiseliner came out in 76 and ran thru 83. The F model ceased production in 81. The Ultraliner replaced the F model. And yes the Cruiseliner is a WS model. The Cruiseliner is a westcoast design and built there until 81. The last 3 years of the WS Cruiseliner were built in Pa. Same cab but very different interior and had a Grilldenser off the Superliner. Where as the westcoast built Cruiseliners just had a stamped grill. IS that about as clear as mud? Hopefully that sheds some light on the subject

How so? Cruiseliner came out in 76, Ultraliner came out in 82 or 83. I'm eager to learn so correct me if i am wrong.

The MH Ultraliner came out in 82, had round headlights. They replaced the F model which ended in 81. Prior to 84 the Ultraliner was a limited production truck

Got into a discussion the other day with a friend who says that Superliners only had axle mounted steering boxes for 2 years. I always thought that All Superliners, not Superliner II square headlights and air ride cabs, had the axle mounted steering box. Wasnt until the Superliner II came out in 85 that they had the same front clip as a MH Ultraliner with frame mounted steering box. Where as the Superliner, round headlights and no air ride cab used a front clip from the Cruiseliner. Im sure there are those reading this who will enlighten me if i am incorrect.

As mentioned earlier by others, check the U joints, thats the simpliest task. Then go into the box on shift tower. Chances are its worn in there. They get worn and then sloppy. I did tach weld the gear to the shaft as the the keyway would not stay tight. That is a last resort though. I've owned and run F models, Cruiseliners and MH's, they all had there good and bad points. I think the Cruiseliner shift linkage, when in good order, has the best feel to it when shifting. Just my opinion

Completley different set up in a Cruiseliner

The more i think about it maybe the Cat powered MH's are a 653. Guess i should leave the facts to those who know.

If it was a Cummins it should be a MH 633 if memory serves correctly. I think the MH 643 was Cat powered. 603 was a glider and 623 was Detriot power. But i have been known to be wrong before

I'd like to have both trucks. I have an addiction problem. Guess thats why between my brother and i we own 22 Cabovers. Maybe i should have taken up drinking instead😄

Thank you. After more cleaning it needs a whole floor. So thats the next step.

Are the Floor sheet metal still available for RD?

Also could get the "Purple Monster" Allis Chalmers engine in a Mack

Thanks for the info

Is there an electric wiper motor for an 88 DM?
