a few more

here are a few shots. Currently the cover is black with the Dog on the box but I do have a brand new spare gray cover. Worst part of the heater unit is the under side near the front corner. Fan motor had 3 speeds and levers worked the coolant valve and defrost vent. Wireing looked like someone had spliced into one of the wires. it is used was quiet with no squeeks when fan was running. just the rush of air was heard. Kept the cab nice and warm in winter and did not see any leaks when running the truck. Let me know what ya think.

I think the 2 stick 6 speed was the last offered in the late 80s. However some cement trucks had and may currently still have the transfercase on a stick. Trent

saw your other post. I will post pics of my unit. the steel is gray with a black cover. It can be sprayed Gray and look just like new. Has plastic glass in the panel with the levers. Fan blows and core was working when removed 3 months ago. Might even have a spare new gray cover for you.. would be intrested in talking to you about the AC/heat unit.... Trent 847-738-8569

Looking good larry... I thought you already had it welded on by now... Hows was the dragster getting to/from the stip this summer

I just bought mine from the mack dealer a few weeks ago. it was in stock. any good parts man that sold R or B models will know what you need. I called it a Door glass retaining strip and they knew what I needed....

I like pogo sticks instead of the roof mount. Less chance the lines will rub on the cab. I also like the rear of tractor/under the trailer air line conections as it leaves the deck plate clean.

around here that is kinda slow of a rear end so it would be hard to find them used. Alot of people just buy a complete drop in take outs and change the seals at the same time. less stuff to R&R. but like said above cheepest way, if you do all the labor is to just get 2 ring and pinion set.

Intresting,that may work out for WM? I know the WM trucks that pick up at the shop is a MR with a commercial "dumpster" rear load compactor. hopefully they make a few models to get more "green" business from them.

My Garbage man works for WM says they are changing its fleet to go green. Sounds like they are going to propane or some other form of low emissions engine. Is mack in the running for this? I know WM is one of macks biggest buyers....

sorry its dirty it hasent seen any soap in about a year! No work for it lately.

here are a few for you

If the weather is good tomorrow I will take my camera to the yard. I have a deck plate on the truck so its hard to see the cross members. I will do my best. need any under hood shots? regarding the air lines. every truck is a little diffrent.On my truck the Driver side rail has most of the air and electrical lines that go to the rear of the truck. The passenger side has a few lines for the parking brakes. Trent

this is the style box I have....(pics taken off truckpaper)

Not sure what the Evens style looks like? I have a Heater only box thats out of my truck right now. Just has vents to the driver and passenger foot aera, only blows air to the floor and windshield defrost duct (no vents to the driver or passenger) control panel has a knob for 3 fan speeds , tab for floor or windshield air flow, tab to control the heater valve(coolant heat on/off). Let me know I would be intrested in the RED DOT unit.

just thinking out loud... Call a towing company to see what they charge. I have moved a few on roll backs. thats the best way to get them around town.

Here are a few pics of my RS700L 285HP mack, 6 speed mack trans, camelback spring rears. 206" wheel base. It had a 36" sleeper but was removed before I bought it

yes it looks like it is an oil bath. the bottom should have a mark on it that says "FILL LINE" or something to that...

now that right there is a must have.

to each their own. but I have to say that anything over 6" straight pipes starts to make the truck look like a toy. I have seen the 8" straight pipes and it looks like a ocean liner exhaust the smoke just takes its time leaving the stack and looks lazy. If the truck has a small cab (macks) the 8" pipe is almost 1/2 the length of the cab sides!!! I just put 5" aussi straight stacks on my RS and I think it is about as wide as I should go with the small cab. I may put a heat sheld on them just to make it look like mufflers and help make the cab look longer. another thing that has always bothered me is duel stacked trucks that Have a "Y" pipe in the system that lets one side smoke more or shoot smoke out before the other stack. Just nit picking but If your old dog rolls the coal make sure it does it out both sides!!!!

sounds like it had Hot Codes that are NLA due to the EPA regs.... dont know about the other issues

Well both trucks were well maintained and had about the same miles (250k) but yea they came out of gear easy but never liked to go back in. Just not my style of driving I guess?

a little off topic but if your worried about tickets from straight stacks. try this. take a galvanized straight pipe and cut right down the middle. Now that it can be compressed a little shove it thru a cheep low resrictive muffler. Its what I did on my RS and never got bothered by DOT. sounds good and looks legal. Trent

not sure with all the new electronic stuff but check the clutch pedal sencer and throttle pedal. if they dont come to rest in the right spot the computer will not alow cruise or jakes. can you bump the idel speed up or down when the truck is parked? if not that may be caused frome the same issues. thats how it use to work with the older stuff?
