Did I read on here somewhere that the R in a hp rating means its a 350 for a 5 or 6 speed? as oppose to a standard 350 set up for say a ten or 13 speed. example E6 315R instead of a E6 315

Yes I did. We were high bidder the first time it was listed. Made them an offer, they relisted it. We came to terms. Lol. Now I need more parts. Thank you for the turbo info.

Just bought an 81 Mack that the turbo is missing. So I don't have a core. What direction can folks point me to for buying a new/reman turbo?

WOW!! The driver survived that? That's scary looking

My old boss told me that the DM Mack I drove was a "Dream Machine". That's what DM stood for. LOL. Great Video. Thanks for posting

What was the name of the company on page one with the fleet of Superliners pulling bullracks?

I doubt it would have pulled its self up the ramp backwards, maybe. BUT COE's are the easiest truck to load. just line youre self up with the edge of trailer. The rest will fit, especially on todays 102" wide trailers. Throttle jockeys

That is interesting. Almost like that grill better than the one on an MH.

Concord, NH sure isn't far away. What is your IH 4000? Got any Pics?

Welcome! And you have old tractors to boot. This is a great place to chew the fat about old iron. Lots of valuable information to be found here.

StJay is 45 mins south of you? Wouldn't that put you over the border? LOL. Unless youre really up in the "Northeast Kingdom?" That pic of the wife plowing reminded me of my Ex's first winter up here. She isn't just a southern gal she was from southern Fl. I plow for the state and I got a call that she was plowing the yard. UH OH. My yard truck is an IH Fleetstar Det power with an Allision tire chains with a 4000 lb block on it. Not much stops it. Everything was undamaged when I got home

Im not a fan either but then again im a fan of unusual trucks anyway. That MH does look like an IH 9000 series top. Hopefully we will be adding another Cruiseliner to the ranks soon. Then we have to get the very rare Astro going. To many trucks not enough time/money

Would have liked to have it before they canablized it

Thank you. Yeah were a little Obsolete around here. Just got back with the winter truck. 85 MH. Check out our website to see some of our trucks. There not all up on the site. www.caboverkings.com

Ok thanks. Im gathering up parts for my Cruiseliner so I can use that this summer. Fixed the A.C. last summer only to have the welded grilldenser leak in another spot. Still looking for "eastcoast" dash parts and directional. By the depth of the snow I have plenty of time.

That's good to know. I did replace both resistors and blower motors. Now im trying to get air to the drivers side floor. I will check the duct work again. Bought a book on MH heater/A.C. Only problem its for 86 and up. Mine is 85. The book covers the 2 lever air control where as my 85 is a 3 lever cable over electric control. Learning as we go.

LOL!!! Im always amused by folks who complain about the cold but yet they live in a northern climate. Go figure

Are the grills on a Superliner the same as a Cruiseliner?

Replaced the treddle valve today. Seems ok bobtailing. Find out for sure when I go retrieve my hay trailer.

OK. You just answered my question. Maybe ours was a "late" 82?

Now that's cool. Thanks for posting

OK. Thanks. Guess I was told wrong many years ago. Our 82 had ATAAC and I was told that was the first of the 350's. Good to know. Thank you

Did Mack make a 350 E6 with the tip turbine? I thought a true 350 were only ATAAC?

That would be cool. Then again most trucks look cool under a bullrack
