    ok I ordered new weather striping for the rw. what I got were 4 pcs. of striping the same length. upon removal of the regulator and side glass this appears to be wrong. looks like to me that I need one long and one short weather strip. I looked at watts site but it didn't call out part # to check against what I got. Can some fellow mack brother help me out? thanks Rob

    Ken: do you feel a little less claustrophobic now? I always enjoyed having the corn harvested at my place in Moses Lake I could see the neighbor hood again. looking good even if there a frightliner in the pic.

    ok I don't know my B models that well but isn't that a b front on a L cab? it doesn't have the typical B dash. I wish that truck was on this end of the country for that price.

    Leslie: the only problem I see is you forgot to punch some phony part # into the bracket. looks great, wish my welding table was as clean as yours!

    my thoughts are rule #1 of dump trucking, truck can never be over built. I guess my thoughts are how was the trucks worked shift work with various drivers or dedicated driver? I have always found multiple driver trucks less desirable, seems that trucks respond to driver traits. I know this sounds crazy but as a fleet mechanic I would do lots more maintenance ,clutch adjustments, brakes and such all because some guys like a high pedal others a low some like tight brakes others loose and by them selves this is fine but when combined the truck suffers.

    mack cat I see you covered the bases, do you know what the manifold pressure is? I have never played with the little engines. is that one a tip turbine? also is the truck equipped with a auto or manual trans? also does the fuel pump lever go into over travel when the throttle is smashed to the floor?

    Vlad check the trailer brake valve on the steering wheel shaft, is it partly applying also does it change if the park brakes are set or released? the mid 80's r mods. would turn on the brake lights if park brake is set and key is on.

    back to the ih engines for a moment I didn't see mention of the 549 v8, the apple warehouse that I worked for had a couple fleetstars one the 549 one a 555 cummins the 549 was a real work horse I was running a ford L 800 with a 534 and it was a good horse race with the two gas pots pulling a 6% grade we also had a r190 with I think the 406. nice o'l truck for its age. they ran those trucks into the mid. 90's

    nice thing about that set up, you can run it and check it out all while standing along side of the truck. just keep BODY PARTS OUT OF THE FAN with eng. at idle you can turn the steering shaft to dead head the steering box in either direction and watch for leaks (a mirror could be handy) to figure out if its a hose or seal leaking.

    better in a cab over! as I understand mack used the same mount in both styles
  23. gearhead204
    nasty: does it have a dynatard eng. brake? if not its the same as a gas eng. for the valve adjustments firing order the same so if the clearance is listed on the valve cover grab any automotive manual and follow the inline 6 valve adjustment procedure. if it has a dynatard some one on here I'm sure will help you out.
