Was the water in all holes or just one?

Yea a quad will be to fragile with an e7. They are twin countershaft and can only take about 750ftlbs of torque. Your e7 will have about 1300 ....way to much power for the quad if it's a work truck..

cool that Norfolk southern put the heritage loco in the mix... http://www.nscorp.com/nscportal/nscorp/Community/Heritage%20Locomotives/

Looks like a great show...lots of clean trucks there...

Great pics thanks for taking the time to post them....

I also recall that there was a stud update but it may have been for the 711 only? Glen may know for sure? Something about thicker or stronger updated studs? If you can't find replacements I guess it's just time for an E9???

First Mack I drove had a straight stack with The rain cap with the big counter weight. I can still hear the clank,clank,clank in my sleep. Always thought trucks looked tuff with them. But they have to be on a straight pipe. Those mitered flappers look silly imo...as far as fitment....I installed them at 90 deg so at speed the exhaust flow was unabstructed.

Those kids must. Be fags.... Only a idiot would tell others about the gold mine they found...

Yea the 300+ was not a maxidyne. Needed more then 5 gears to keep it In the middle rpm range. The 300 was a maxidyne.

Put the pipe down....

If you were offered a job for 30 days where you get paid 1 penny for your first day, your wage will double every day, and you're fired on the 30th day... simple question......Would you take the job?

put my cab on the same way. board with a blanket wraped around it. worked great!

"Here's the back story, we’re told that shortly after Crumb and Get It told Biden’s advance people 'no' -- the secret service walked in and told Chris McMurray ''Thanks for standing up and saying 'no' -- then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes." Classic!

ok here is a question while on topic of the tip turbines....Why was it that some 285's only had the air charge cooler and others had the air/water charge cooler? My truck is air only but have seen other 285s with the air and water set up? I thought that the 285 was air only and the 300+ was both air and water? what does it take to convert a 285 to a 300+ Is it as simple as a charge cooler and pump setting change? im putting in the 12 speed soon and have a water/air cooler. It would be cool to convert it over to a 300+ if its not much trouble.

Wires on the turbo? Does not compute.....oh man these electronic diesels!

When will people of California burn their state to the ground and start over? It's time.....

Yea I wish I had the 300+ in my RS. those engines just loved to pull. On paper they had less TQ than a maxidyne but they out pulled them. 1400-1800 rpm shifting that turbo and turbine just kept screaming...

Yep.. Lots of lost Mack sales because of them not thinking like the customers needs. A friend has one of the last rd glider and is one of his best in the fleet..hope that new Mack does well for you . If not you may need a new sticker for it.

Someone posted pics of a underhood shot years back.. Can't recall what thread it was on tho..

First truck I drove was a rs700l with a 285 and a hood scoop. If I recall there was a big can with a filter in it that was sitting to the side of the turbine. When the hood was shut the filter would draw air in from the scoop. It was in my opinion a cheep way to get the result and cluttered the engine. The scoop did look cool tho...rare to see them these days...

Love it... How's that new Mack doing ....troubles sorted out...

This is the truth...don't count on the DMV to give you the correct advice with old trucks.. Im in IL and the guy at the DMV looked at me like I had 3 heads when I said I wanted historic tags for my 1977 Mack. I had to explain to him that IL state law does not specifically limit what kind of car,truck,motorcycle,bus, etc...can or cannot be tagged as a historic. It simply states in has to be older than 25 years,only used in shows or driven to shop for repairs...some states have slightly different laws so check what is required in your home state...for insurance I use gulf way in Florida. They insure racing,historics, and other odd ball stuff...welcome to the site.. Edit I see you already found the info....can you not just plate your truck first then apply for a class c license? I think it's just a written test for a class c?

Late 70's early80s...with 285 tip turbine Mack diesels. The went away with the introduction of the dual outlet air cleaner.
