I was able to locate one new power window motor and it arrived today

Thanks, another Mack manual I did not know existed that I now want.

Anything unusual on the road draws attention. I get all sorts of attention driving my 10 wheel drive ford, the pictures are normal. I have had people take videos of the truck on the road Pictures are required

I like the cab mounted hydraulic pump and valve

Where did you find those fuel specs? My manual does not cover the EC6 350

The real cause of most of the transfer case issues is the Allison MT654's ridiculously low gear ratio in reverse compounding the engine torque to the point of failure. This is why you should never use reverse in low range on these trucks. Why did the the throttle stick? Did the operator pull the emergency shutoff?

Not yet Will a lift pump still pump if the check valves are bad? If the check valve is bad the efficiency of the pump should be greatly reduced. I was hoping that the fuel pressure gauge would give me some instead to the condition of the lift pump. The nice part about this truck is that the fuel filters are readily accessible sitting on the outside of the frame This makes it a project to get to the lift pump that is now hidden behind the fuel filters. Looking at it it looks like the best way to get to the lift pump is to remove the fuel filters for access. I am to the point of being frustrated and thinking about just replacing the lift pump and all of the fuel lines Does anyone know what the PAI part number for the lift pump and rebuild kit?

That topic used to have 45 posts in and now there are 41

I just replaced the leaking airbag in my seat. I got it from the local parts house I took the old airbag in and they got me the new one The only issue that I had was the supplied bolts were to long

That transfer case has a habit of doing that, especially in low range. Where are you located?

On or about February 9th there were four posts to my topic about my 1985 RS688LST that dealt with the hard starting issue and these have disappeared. What happened to them and why are they gone?

today I got the truck running with the pressure gauge in the secondary filter. I ended up checking the fuel filters and the primary was 1/2 full and the secondary was about 3/4 full so I toped them off, added about 9 gallons of fuel, and it was able to be started. The fuel pressure is about 16 psi at 800 rpm and when I increase the rpm's it goes up to about 21 psi When I shut the truck off it drops to zero by the time I climb down and get around to the filters There are to visible fuel leaks any place that I can find Any thoughts where to check now? Several posts to this topic on or about 2/9 about this starting issue have disappeared! Who deleted them? And why?

Even out here in California we do not need the AC now

The knee is healing and I am going stir crazy not working on my projects and dealing with my clients. Today I installed a pressure gauge into the existing port on the secondary fuel filer that is after the lift pump. I tried to start the truck and it cranked for a while then lit off but died I repeated this On the third try the batteries were getting really low so it was time to disconnect them and charge them. So much for today, tomorrow is another day

For reference

Sounds like San Diego with all of the abandoned scooters parked on the sidewalks

Where is it located?

That would be funny if it wasn't for a friend of mine getting killed by some idiot while he was on a highway paving job. One state highway department was testing different cone and light patterns at night until the governor made them stop because of the number of accidents caused by drunks running into the equipment. The state police and highway department did not mind the drunk trap.

It sounds like there driving has actually improved since I left there. Back in the day they would just drive down the shoulder and plow into the JCPL truck parked there, cones were only used for show the old junk truck with the chained down boom was the deterrent. The best were the senior citizens, who moved from the city to a retirement community and realized they needed to learn to drive now that they were retired. They got there first drivers license when they retired. We had one who could not understand the new construction traffic pattern and was honking at the bucket of a very large excavator. The bucket was preventing the driver from driving into a trench in the old jug handle. The summer mail drivers did try to make a little bit of a sport out of it with the cartwheeling mail keeps, they actually have a strong roof. I wish I had pictures of some of this stuff to show my wife

What does a 2105 look like? This is fantastic news. It means Mack still exists in 2105 and Vulvo failed to kill the bulldog It might have a jet engine and a beer tap! Or a flux capacitor Please proofread your posts before posting

I have been considering adding several mini hedgehogs in the front yard to protect the sprinklers I wonder what the cops would say to some orange ones on the road Since you are in Jersey, just use a couple of pieces of Jersey barrier, k rail, randomly placed with the cones

I saw this the other day and just had to take a picture

Same here in Kalifornia. Many of my traffic cones have tire tracks on them. I prefer to work around trucks, without sleepers, and hate rich residential areas. hybrids and tesla's are the worst.

There's a warranty? How long is that for? This was my good knee

She's a keeper, June will be our 25th anniversary She even drove me there in the rain, she is a California girl that hates driving anytime it is not sunny, and had breakfast with some of my friends. She actually was interested in the pre war Indy style cars after I reminded her that her grandfather worked on what we think was the 1938 winner
