  1. Melan probably put up a picture of the trucks your talking about I have no idea at this point Paul
  2. So with these transmissions whats the correct driving technique? 12 speed I can drive with or without a clutch, same with a 5 or 6 speed but have never driven one of these later Mack transmissions Mack put their 18 speed behind Cummins redheads that were 575 hp and used road train work and from the people I have spoken to that own them they are fine for the million kilometers or more grossing over 100 ton day in day out so they cant be all bad Paul
  3. Just had a quick google, they are on ebay fully reco for 4975.00 Australian so dunno 3 grand in Yanky dollars maybe and its in Yanky land so that to me is good buying Struth spent that on a new input shaft and new high low gears and and sliding dog 15 years ago for a 12 speed
  4. Some more to look at and study before spending money Paul
  5. From Facelessbook Flogged from some other joker that shared it to Facelessbook and I have flogged it from him So full credit to who ever took the photo before us floggers flogged it No year attached or any other details except for "Brisbane truck show" Paul
  6. Thats a heck of a dream Swishman
  7. Well I dunno much about much. Some quick searching on this site found some ratio charts 12 speed Mack is the multi speed built by Mack for Mack Thermodyne motors So it is the true multi speed standard torque curve motor for Mack trucks Your 9 speed isnt that much different so I'm not sure your gunna achieve a lot by swapping transmissions to a RoadRanger Thinking driving style might achive a lot more, dont let it lug as much and drive it in the rev range that it is designed to be driven in maybe Bare in mind I have no idea what your motor is The weight your shifting has little effect on the way it should be shifted, the transmission should always be shifted thru gears at the desgined rev's As you can see the ratios are pretty similar Paul
  8. Good morning and welcome
  9. Gotta be a proud and emotional time, or at least it would be for me Great stuff and thanks for taking us along for the ride Paul
  10. Pepper in it, leave the cap off and when hot crack a few eggs in That should seal it up tickety boo LOL In all seriousness I reckon the cost of a re-core pales into insignificance compared to cooking a motor 5 grand in Australia to re-core a R model Mind you Australian R models are all specced with the biggest radiator available at the time Apparently the US and no doubt Canada had many options and it may well be a lot less Paul
  11. Looking very impressive, good luck for Sunday and hoping it all goes smoothly Paul
  12. Here you all go, the video flogged from Facelessbook Hopefully the link works, let me know if it doesn't And the photos that were with the video I believe Jason Jake Coblentz pictures and video Paul
  13. Good luck for Sunday, she's really starting to come together now Paul
  14. I was watching a video of this truck on Faceless book a few minutes ago, looks sharp and sounds good Paul
  15. Dunno, just make a system up I guess Welcome Paul
  16. I use PVC coated stainless steel cable ties, they last forever and look neat as a pin Looks really good Paul
  17. Rolls Royce diesels were available in Australia into the 80's A new White Road Boss could be purchased from White with one Paul
  18. Yes he is very much alive and kicking Paul
  19. We can try Joey, I have no idea about this type of compressor However it is all loosely based on the same idea So I guess I would be trying to see if the wire to engage the compressor has power and start there If it's freezing up thats a whole different kettle of fish Paul
  20. Is the compressor engaging? Paul
  21. Just saw these, might be of interest Paul https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=395940595755453&id=103304275019088&sfnsn=mo
  22. Welcome the duck Paul
  23. I hope they are okay, I have spent the money a little while ago Have to chop mine up as it is for LHD and I have to make mine RHD There was a thread on here some years ago and these are the best for under the dash type of AC in a R model Paul
