An apprentice ship for a truck driver what will they think of next ?????? Paul

great stuff on the modification there dont wanna loose it in all that white snow Paul

Hey Raji plenty of middle est and European Macks of this face book site https://www.facebook.com/groups/138377172886828/ Paul

I dont think its called spill timing in the US but it sets the time the injector fires as how far advanced or retarded the injectors are in relation ship to the crank and on some motors if its not right they can be real hard to start when cold and feel low on power when under load so its very important that it is correct I think if you pulled the injector pump and refitted it , it would still be wise to check the timing it would be like pulling a head on a motor and refitting it and not checking the valve clearance to me It doesnt cost anything to do only time gives you good piece of mind that is still correct and once again Glen feel free to put me straight if I have all this wrong Paul

mate if you have never driven in Australia on country roads you will have no idea how bad it is I have seen it this bad plenty of times no joke and I aint pulling your leg Paul

wonder whats under the yellow B models bonnet ( sorry hood ) it has been extended by the looks of it ??? Paul

It is hard to believe that it wasnt that long ago China had Tianamen Square massacre I just Googled it 1989 only seems like yesterday to me, it was only 12 months before that at Expo 88 in Brisbane China announced to the world it wanted to become the world power house and we (the rest of the world sat back and laughed) shows what you can achieve if you all work together I remember watching maybe 60 minutes and they were building power stations at a astronomical rate something 5 times quicker than the western world and all done with bugger all machinery they showed footage of them carrying the cement in cane baskets pouring the footings amazing China really caught us sleeping Sorry way of topic but this truck looks so modern and thats just over 25 years ago WOW Im getting old Paul

Also a tad bit more useless information from the small amount I know about governors its not the springs that need replacing the pivots wear on the fly weights and associated mechanism and all those bits need replacing and then the springs need to be adjusted to suit this may only apply to Caterpillar engines but I reckon theres a good chance the Mack governor will work on the same principle all in all it isnt a simple job and it is easy muck a injector pump if you dont know what your doing plenty have over the years anyway I will shut up other wise you will never get your pump off Hang on one more thing and Glen please correct me if Im wrong these have to be spill timed once the injector pump has been pulled off and if you dont know how to do that someone on here maybe able to talk you thru it when I did mine it was a two person job there maybe a way to do it on your own if it has to be done which I think it will I will shut up now Paul

If your gunna pull the pump the whole pump has to go to the shop a good shop should only fix what is wrong in my opinion if the pump isnt your problem they should be able to tell you that as well with out spending fortune to find out Paul

What Glen says to much can go wrong if you make a mess of it Paul

Fantastic article Paul thanks for sharing the link how goods the youtube link wonder were the rest of the film is ???? Paul

Yeah you should have told me to wipe me chin as it looked like I was dribbling shit

What A knob head I am its meant to say Im no expert because Im sure as hell not a expert at any of this and just blunder my way thru What a fool I am LOL seeya's

Im expert but I pulled the whole pump to get mine done and guess what made no difference at all LOL true cost me $5000.00 but still hunted real bad after woulds so my advice check it out properly what the cause is before shelling out hard earned coin Paul

If I found that I would be looking for a spare day or two and lift the center out and at least see what you can find you look and not find anything wrong may look and find you found it just in time for a bearing or two Either way it wont cost much to have a look and you can at least make a judgement call from that Paul

Wow what a different time than it would be today I have never seen that before fantastic stuff didnt expect to see a cement truck or tipper racing very cool stuff Thanks for sharing Paul

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ??????? must not have been able to see the big trucks with the camouflage Paul

Raji once you see one Mack they keep on popping up all over the place Paul

The big benefit of RHD is your always in the right LOL sorry Yeah 100% sure that isnt in Australia first reason is we dont bling trucks up like that out here and the other reason is Super Dog has seen it over there Some one has done a good job on the sleeper and theres no air cleaners outside the bonnet Paul

WOW thats amazing work it truly is what a result Paul

Mate that looks like the Dame Edna of trucks "Hello Possums" only Aussies will get that those head lights LOL I can see why they are there but well like Dame Edna LOL Paul
