The 2070 is the 5 speed overdrive with two low gears Is there a difference between the 1000 and 2000 series transmissions

To change a light bulb

The truck currently has the ENDT675 with a 5 speed direct transmission and a R170 rear axle with 4.33's in it according to the tag. I have been running some ideas through my head on some options for the truck to make it more drivable on today's freeways Option one is to simply change the gear ratio to 3.90 and service everything including having the radiator cleaned out. Option two is to swap in a EM6-300 and a T2070 seven speed Thoughts for a hobby truck that would probably never top 40,000 lbs and probably be at around 25,000 lbs most of the time. One of my issues is when ever I go anyplace I end up running trough one of the mountain passes or at least a big long grade.

What is the deal with the micro sleeper

From a quick internet search This water tower lies right alongside the former path of Route 66, which has since been paved over to create US Interstate 40. During the early and mid 20th century, passersby on the Mother Road were intrigued by the severe tilt of the tower, asking themselves what on Earth could have caused it. A crashing plane? An earthquake? A giant tornado? In reality, it was the work of a heavy-duty vehicle and a bulldozer. Ralph Britten, a man who wanted to start up a truck stop and restaurant off Route 66 in Groom, bought the water tower from the town of Lefors as an ingenious marketing technique to attract new visitors. He towed the enormous thing 34 miles to Groom, wrote “Britten USA” on top, and then, using a bulldozer, elevated two of its legs off the ground, dangling them in midair without support, so that the water tower made an 80 degree angle with the ground. This helped his business immeasurably. It would catch the eye of every passing motorist on the route for years, many of them becoming terrified that the tower was in the process of collapsing. This played right into Britten’s hand. Worried route-takers often swerved off the road and into his truck stop, shouting “watch out! That tower’s about to fall!” Britten responded that it had been like that for years, and then asked them to sit down and buy food and a drink. Britten’s manipulation of the tower did, however, require sufficient knowledge of physics. If the water tower were completely empty or completely full, its center of mass would be directly in the middle of the can, making it topple when slanted. So Britten filled it only partially, so that the low level of water would place the can’s center of mass near its base, directly above the two supporting legs, keeping it aloft. Unfortunately, after many years of success, Britten’s truck stop burned down in a devastating fire, closing down all sales. Despite this unfortunate event, the leaning water tower is still one of the most photographed oddities on the way out west.

The pictures Brandon sent me of a DM hood look completely different. I don't know if it is a R vs DM, or U, model difference or is it a Allentown vs Hayward production difference My truck is a Hayward Mack

Please check your email address It is coming up as invalid

The hood on my R model is missing the passenger side metal bracket shown in this photo Does anyone have a wrecked hood laying around that I could get this part off of? The part is probably the same on a U or DM hood

[quote post="407692" timestamp="1539266545" CHP even visited site before we left, more BS from people that know nothing. What did they do to you? I had them complain about oil vapor coming out of the slober tube at an inspection one time.

Does anyone have a wrecked fiberglass hood laying around? The passenger side metal piece that the rubber bumper rests on is missing on my hood

Since Mack only started using spin on filters in 1971 it is not surprising to see an old style cartridge filter on a 75. But why filter the oil to the turbo?

Yes it is very similar But the jeep fittings look like 1/8" or 1/4" pipe and these look like 3/8" or 1/2" And I did confirm it is hooked to the turbo

Here is a link to the body builder manual and the information you are looking for is in there https://www.macktrucks.com/-/media/files/body-builder/manuals/4-transmission.pdf

the down side to that is the clean up

Different Miller Doesn't Miller now own Hobart? Now Lincoln tires would be a problem

The Military uses 3" for these if my memory is correct

This is a closeup of the filter This is a wider angle shot I will take a closer look at the hoses to confirm where it goes

I am interested Pm sent

My fluid is low and red, how do you drain the system? I have one of those filters that you describe, it is in the upper right of the picture of the ram that I posted, but it is not connected to the steering system. It is connected to the supply oil side of the turbo.

We see that all the time, probably to get more views If you google the intersection in Montana you can see the truck and trailer parked behind the mattress place

Thanks, that's such a coincidence the owner put it up for sale about a month ago. From what I can tell it has not been registered since 2009

Out here in California there is not a lot of Mack parts around but I understand what you are saying. If I decide to paint this truck and polish the fuel tanks, polished battery box covers would look good

Does anyone have any experience with the hydraulic steering boost It looks like the drag link is the control valve, there is a ram on the front axle and it looks like there is a reservoir above the engine by the firewall. The pump appears to be located on the passenger side low It does not appear to be working at idle. Does it need some rpm to work?

I did some research and it looks like it is a bendix LQ-2 valve, I will just have the local truck parts house match it
