Ok found the diagram but it was sent to me as a message. I will have to download it on my home computer and reload it in a post. Will do that tomorrow when I get back in front of my computer. I'm on my I pad right now...anyways I was correct in saying the signal wires all went to a firewall junction block. The gauge ground and power wires come from a behind the dash soirce then just jump from one to the next. Rear diffs showed a ground wire from the diff to the frame. will have the exploded view for you soon!

Let me look for a post on here. I think someone had sent me a wireing diagram last year from a super liner that had axel temp gauges.... If I recall the signal wires all went from the dash to a junction block on the cab firewall and then on to their specific component. the power came from a source behind the dash and just jumped to each gauge. will look when I get off work today.

If your loaded, 1-2-3 are real quick and can be short shifted. wind out 4th to about 2000 then shift. it falls back to about 1250 and the boost comes up a little quicker and goes back to work for ya.
-
The old maxidyne with 5 speeds I always ran them up to 1800 for easy shifts on the hiway or 2100 when racing my buddies. Once you learn the truck you should be able to shift smooth. I will admit that the lower the rpm the smoother the shift is. And the clutch is for starting only! Play the stop lights right and you will need it only half as much as you normaly would.

The only thing that is hooked to a lite is the air press and oil press ...if it drops to far the light and buzzer go off. 2 things I feel I need to know about right away.
-
Let me think.. Boost,pyro,air restriction,fuel,rear axel temp,forward axel temp,trans oil temp,engine oil temp,air press,oil press,volt,water temp,tach and speedo.

Found it...united pacific.... http://www.uapac.com/trucks/interior-products/dash-accessories/gauge-accessories.html http://www.uapac.com/trucks/interior-products/dash-accessories/gauge-accessories/gauge-cover-without-visor-speed-tachometer.html You may want to call the chrome depot in Ohio and double check that these are the correct sizes. If I remember the Mack gauges we're the same as the older Pete/kw .....regardless a little silicone will help make them stick.

I just got a set of seats out of a mid 2000 international. Nothing too fancy but they are in perfect shape, arm rests, and lumber air bag. Will these bolt on fairly easy. I know I will need to drill new holes for the passenger side but want to hear the pro and cons with the arm rests. Should I remove the ones that face the doors. I also don't like hi backs in r models but they were free and a lot better than this 35 year old bostrom.
-
Hope you can see this pic.. they were bought from the Chrome depot in Ohio. Some fit others needed some sealant to make them stick. I forget the brand but they came in a dark blue cardboard packaging.

I Agree 100% The fact that he is in bed with Muslim nations should have stopped his election dead in his tracks. Does 9-1-11 ring a bell. I dont recall after WWII that America elected a German or Jap? Thats because Americans back then had force and pride in their homeland. Americans are the minority in this country and that was proven again last night. Another fact....A vote for OBAMA proves to me your nothing more than a terrorist threat to my country. He is Muslim
-
As sick as it sounds Im glad that most of the true Americans that fought, suffered and built our once great nation were not around last night to see the sheeple vote in a Anti-American Muslim President. This is not a blue or red party issue. Americans have sold themselves out to a person with no values or merit to prove worthy of being President of the United States.

Your First Mack?
Lmackattack replied to rsb502's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
First truck I ever rode in and steered around the yard was in my dads 1977 R model, 285 with a 5 speed, I was about 5 years old. First truck I ever drove was when I was 16 it was a 1978 RS700L . 285 with a 6 speed. I was riding with a driver and he had the great idea to let me drive for a half hour on the south side of Chicago. He shifted for me and I just kept the truck steady. -
I have seen western Mack interior painted in black and tan. My 1977 RS was tan with tan door panels. I have seen early super liners I with black interior paint and red,black,blue, cloth headliner and door panels. All the east coast r models I have seen were tan or the later gray paint.
-
Vlad...standard macks in the early 80s had a tan interior paint with a tan plastic headliner, tan door panels and lower wall cloth or cardboard panels. in 1985-86 Mack went to a Grey interior paint and had a gray cloth headliner. I also think this is when the grey overhead plastic radio console was introduced? . I always liked the western button tuck interior with the heat stamped bulldog door panel best.

RS700L info
Lmackattack replied to raybing's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
It's a west coast r model built in Hayward ca. They were popular model for big hp engines and Will have a taller and longer hood than that of an east coast r600. They seam to be more popular for collectors. Kinda like the super liners are sought after. The frame width is also a little different than the east coast Mack's. It will have the same frame width as other truck mfg. Hayward built the popular RS/RL600L , RS/RL700L and FS/FL700L ,cruiseliner ,valueliner and super liner,until the early 80s when the factory closed. -
On the r model that's how it works I assume the same for a cab over?
-
Even if the truck had a air shift. the air control valve (splitter) would be on the stick shift lever just under the handle. the air cylinder to control the shift would be on the transmission top cover near the stick shifter enters the transmission. But as said that cabover model has a 5 speed trans and did not have any air system to control it. Only thing that trans would have that looks like a wire, air line etc...would be a speedo cable near the output yoke, possible a clutch cable near the bell housing and possible a temp sensor wire or back up alarm sensor wire.
-
I looked at the link and must say you do alot of really nice building. I love all the attention to detail. If you dont mind, I posted some pics of the Cabover Mack from Convoy I built 10 years ago. I also posted a pic of the Mad Max R model I built around the same time There is a member here that built up the Duck truck and did alot of extra detail work like you did. Cant wait to see your finished Model.

Regarding the engine brake.... Some worked better than others. From my experience the jake worked better than the dynatard. But both were weak. They barely slowed the trucks I drove... -

3.87 rears and a 12 speed is a great combo. As said you will louse a little power but you have every gear you need to work in the field or get home fast on the hi way
