You can but, with the Mack trans case being aluminum most people mount them with a bracket to help take up some of the weight.  We have them both ways and to date, I have not seen a Mack case crack.  

Mine is direct mounted with an extra bracket hasn't been an issue.  Only been on for a couple months though 

Mine would do that when the belts are loose or the alternator is getting ready to puke.

You can see what I did in this picture

I've been really thinking bout this idea. I've got the newer cut off. I'm preparing it now to get it ready to go onto the old MH rails.

Did you weld it on the ends or basically just bolt and cross member it? 

I welded the ends but not the flange part plus bolted every thing 

Superliner frame to newer CH frame unknown year about 3 ft of double frame works great no issues after 3 yrs

If its a 2 wire VRS sensor, polarity does not matter. It will generate an AC voltage and your autometer should be able to display the MPH. I would assume it would need to be calibrated some how, but i could be wrong i've never used aftermarket speedometer. 

I'm gonna play with the wires tomorrow see what happens

What year is your truck

88 had a mechanical speedometer to being with I converted it to electronic 3 years ago.  I do not know what year the trans came from other than newer

You can use the gps or speedo phone app to set the dip switches on your new speedo. But I see with your set up all you need is an accurate mileage reference.

Yep I just need to get the sender to produce a signal with the proper wires connected

Also there are speedometer apps for your phone that are extremely accurate to clock both speed and distance via GPS

I have a gps but seeing as the cop that did a level 1 inspection on me asked if it worked last year thinking it should work.  Plus I like tracking miles for mpg and miles in different states ect since I have apportioned plates on it

Most aftermarket instruments have the power supply built in. You are basically shifting the ground and triggering the instrument on the decay edge of the generated pulse train. On the rear of the instrument there should be a selection of dip switches, (dual inline package) which are off/on selection. You will need to fine tune these switch selections which are binary weighted in delay to make your traveled distance display one statute mile for a statute mile you drive. The mile markers alongside the interstates are real good with this unless you happen to have a pulse generator, or pulse counter readily available as then calibration can be performed on a bench. 

This one is pretty easy to calibrate hold the trip reset turn key on guage goes into calibration mode.  Use a predetermined 2miles press the reset again drive the 2 miles then hit it again at the end 

Ok I'll try that. The signal generator I had on the cable drive was a 3 wire so it had power, ground and signal

Can anyone tell me how the 2 wire sensors should be wired?  One is a signal wire I assume should the other one be grounded or powered?

I had to change the trans in my superliner before Thanksgiving and the used trans i found has a speed sensor would like to get my speedometer working again.  Have an autometer electronic guage installed already

BLP trucking R piling corn.  

I have a neway cutoff with mack axles 3.87 gears.

Dumb question and I'll ask Allentown mack tomorrow but when you buy a reman rocker arm from cat it comes with everything as a assembly, is it the same way with mack or do they sell it all a individual parts???

When I went to buy one a few years ago it was piece work.  But they may have been out of the complete reman stuff I don't know 

I'm looking for a good used door for my superliner. Prefer with the window and guts but empty shell is fine

Bunk is sold

So the 90 RD is due for its new yearly il saftey sticker and niw I guess even with the US dot number it has to due the pollution test .do you if there's a cut off year for the test or what the parameters are for it to pass

I live in dekalb county so don't have that problem.  I know with cars it's like 96 and newer these days. 

It's not too different looking
