    I didn't look to see if it was a factory deal or a modified bumper set up.  The roll off Super nearby also had the same style of bumper.

    Were you busy at Fairlee time of the show?

     

    No my ten yr son shows Dairy cows so we were at Cornish fair. Being a full time single Dad now for 7 yrs is a challenge. I miss tractor pulling and truck shows. But im  happy to help my son do something he is really into. Cows are better than computers in my opinion

    By allergy do you mean algae? There's a fungicide fuel treatment you can use. Kills it, but nothing's going to dissolve it. Pretreat fuel with it when you fill a truck up. 

    Yes that's what I ment.  I use Lucas for the lubrication part but im wondering how best to prevent the algae?

    I was talking to a Gentlemen the other day who said he runs 2  cycle oil in his fuel for his old 3406A. Has  anybody ever tried this?  He claims it will keep the alleregy  from forming in the fuel

    Guess I missed the issue. Central Hydraulics like most any other plow truck.   When they get to be 20 years old then your chasseing rusty hose ends.   Ive seen people buy a truck to turn into a plow truck. The truck is the cheap part. Its the Hydraulics that is expensive

    The "Wispering Giant"  I believe Mack called the E9.   Heard my first E9 back in 1988. Ran along side for miles. Got hooked then & there. Never sounds like they're working. Just kinda lumbering along

    no,that was the standard interior for the Cruiseliner

    So is that "Level 1"  or "Level 2" interior? Or didn't  Mack offer 3 levels in early Cruiseliners?

    Think you might be looking for a long time. There are engine manuals and chassis manuals. But there are no installation manuals for DIY engine swaps. The only manual is here at BMT and it is all the guy's knowledge. This is why this site is what it is. The information is stored in the minds of men that have worked on these now old trucks. It is information that is slowly becoming obsolete along with all the old iron. A transplant with a totally mechanical engine can be done but you better know someone or have someone do it if you don't know how. Better to buy a Superliner with an E9 in it already. It is not just the engine needed but, bigger radiator, intercooler, possibly clutch and transmission to consider. Not to mention all the brackets, hoses and tubing needed. Just finding all the parts needed will take years to accumulate to actually do it right. The cost of all this extra stuff will be more than a good running take out E9 then add labor that will not be cheap if you can find someone willing to do it. One thing for sure is everything is real big, heavy, greasy, dirty and rusty to work with and not a beginner mechanic's first project. Hope it happens though :thumb:

    Well said!!  You gotta be real handy or have a handy friends. and then youre going to buy a LOT of beer

    Had a guy call me yesterday needing parts for an older Mack,(2002)because dealer said parts were NLA,wiring harness for ECM. Guess I'm going to have to start making room for CX's in the back yard,now.

     

    Try getting parts for a Cruiseliner with an E9 in it.    Thankfully the local Mack parts folks try to be helpful

    Super-sized

    What then was said to be the largest tank semi-trailer ever built for highway service was operating in Michigan 45 years ago. The 17,000-gallon Super Tanker gasoline transporter featured 11 axles, with three capable of lifting for better maneuverability. The tanker, powered by an International tractor, boasted the maximum length (55 feet), height (13½ feet), weight (152,000 pounds) and axles (11) allowed at the time, and cost $75,000.

    Wonder how many times the driver caught his foot on the rubber guard over the steer tire
