    No it's not. Air exhaust out of it when the wipers are on.

    When you shut the wipers off ,you put them into park position . If they are coming on sporadicly, I would lean toward the control valve . Its on the right side of the pic . I think ? its part # would be 7623-7547070 but not sure . Hopefully Watts can help you or a local to you Mack dealer

    Just thinking about it ..... Do the wipers work ? If everything works ok and just leaks out the exhaust , I would say the are not going in the park position . Then I would be looking at the control valve .

    There is no air line off of that . Its an exhaust for the wiper motor. If it gets plugged at all the wipers won't work. Because its leaking air , It sounds like it is ok . Your problem is somewhere else. The first thing I would try is taking the air lines off the other side and put some air tool oil in them . Sometimes that's enough to get them going . Otherwise you may need a rebuild kit. I don't know much about that , but its been talked about on here . The air tool oil or penetrating oil has always worked for me .

    Your doing a great job Paul, on trailer and videos. I really enjoy watching . Too bad we weren't neighbours , I would enjoy having a beer with you in our lawn chairs looking at your trailer .

    I'm happy to hear your stocked with parts to bring your Macks back to life . I had a little setback with my DM. When I got it, not a light ,gauge, speedo ,tack, or anything worked . It moved and dump box worked. I guess that's all that mattered to the previous owner . Well after fixing everything and changing all the fluids , even the coolant . I even fixed the air conditioner 😃 I took it for a test drive and it was overheating. So I've flushed the rad and put in a new thermostat. I'm hoping that fixes it. I haven't had time to test it . So here's hoping .

    Not sure if this helps , But here is what the shutter stat looks like . And like Larry said , it has an in and out on it . I posted the box for a part #. Its a Mack # but they always seem to cross it over for me at Mack/Volvo .

    Part 2 didn't disappoint . It was very good ! I would have been impressed if you did all that work at your house with the proper variety of tools. I'm totally amazed at what you can achieve with what you brought along. I found it very impressive . Good job! And I like your choice of music . Thanks , I enjoyed that

    Thanks for making and sharing this !!!! I loved it , can't wait for part 2 😀
  11. 85snowdog
    LOL, I do that anyway with my old jalopies
  12. 85snowdog
    I know what you mean . I'm pretty sure its gone to a good home . Exporters don't usually spend that much $$$. Not up here anyway . Hopefully the new owner knows or finds this website and lets us know about their new purchase.

    Thanks so much for the pictures. Looked like a really good show in a very nice setting. Thanks again
  14. 85snowdog
    Glad you got it running . I imagine the mirrors and mirror arms from the DMM will have a new home on this truck ?
  15. 85snowdog
    Good pic !!! Thanks for sharing
  16. 85snowdog
    I have wondered the same . My 1989 DM 690 has a 300 maxidyne with an econodyne emblem on the hood.
  17. 85snowdog
    Forgot , Hopefully your purchase goes well and your able to post some pics 😀
  18. 85snowdog
    Your right about it being discussed a lot , lol. For some reason though ? The search tool doesn't work for me , so it seems fair to ask because sometimes its hard to find info. From my understanding ..... Your '72 should have a gold dog because of the maxidyne engine . Not sure about the dogs on the door. Here is a link to a good thread on the gold dog https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38273-gold-dog/
  19. 85snowdog
    Wow!! Your truck looked good before Paul, now it looks amazing ! It looks really good . And to be hand done is a huge bonus . Its very difficult to find people that still do that . Well done .

    I got the size wrong Vlad. After checking , I was able to get you some good info that may help you . The RD with 385's has a part # on it of 31674. Thats a 22.5 X 12.25 rim with 3 inch offset . The DM with 445's has a part # on of 13228. Thats a 22.5 X 13 with 3.94 offset. That number is no good any more . But by dimension I was able to get a new number. The new # is 32201TK . The rim part numbers are Accuride numbers . And the way I understand it . The offset is from the centre of the rim , not the outside edge. But I could be wrong , lol . Ive been wrong before . Hope it helps.
  21. 85snowdog
    I think they are 14 inch rims Vlad. But let me double check and get back to you. I will figure out the offset on them to.

    Heres a pic of some 385's on my RD compared to 445 's on the DM . You mentioned your specs. It made me curious as to what rears were in my DM .After checking , It has 5.55 rears. I didn't know but after checking BMT , it turns out its kinda common with a T2070 and 300 maxidyne . I learn something new every day on this site .
  23. 85snowdog
    I would say that's a good common theme you posted
  24. 85snowdog
    Now I see why you were asking about tires , lol Congratulations on your new find. Great story to. We have more than an R688 in common now
  25. 85snowdog
    Yes Vlad, they are 11r22.5 on the back. I agree, they are large but I actually like the look of it. To be honest , I thought they were 425's . Thats what most people run around here. It wasn't till I looked for you that I saw they were bigger. My RD has 385's . I will take a pic for you to show the size difference. The 385's look small beside them , lol .
