    9.0 is quite a sweet spot what is that empty and all down hill?
  2. bts-4120
    that much stop and go 5.5 doesn't sound too bad you ever figure how many gallons per hour your burning?

    jake on the e7 will never be what a jake on a n-14 is due to cubic inches. mine helps some but at a 95k gross you will be using your truck and trailer brakes getting down a mountain no doubt about it

    if it had 58k rears it would say dm688sx as the model?
  5. bts-4120
    direct replacement with out fabing and driveline work would be a t313lr or 18lr
  6. bts-4120
    bet it left the factory as a maxidinye but as old as it is who knows if the motor's been swapped should be a tag either on the valve cover or behind the fuel pump
  7. bts-4120
    460's and 10 speeds don't perform well together either. 460xt file would be the hotter of the factory files if you could get it. injectors turbo and a 427 file may be the best you would be able to come up with. bet the cat was pulling alot more than 350 hp
  8. bts-4120
    this supose to be a hotter file than past?

    Seen where Mack came out with a new rating 505 +c 1850lbs of torque http://www.macktrucks.com/community/mack-news/2014/mack-adds-mack-mp8-505c-to-engine-lineup/

    with this remack warrnty Mack is really missing the boat. if you can rebuild an older truck and Mack it has about the same warrnty as a brand new truck why not sell a glider.

    on a 15 isn't that a regular gear you use there a 10 speed with a deep reduction box the one I had used the U shift patern

    fan should kick on at 200. have you washed or blown out the radiaor and coil lately?
  13. bts-4120
    as much nat. gas this country has its only logical to pipeline it to a power plant. it will take decades to convert vehicles and machinery on a large enough scale to burn it. I know union pacific is already playing with the stuff.
  14. bts-4120
    supply pump?
  15. bts-4120
    mine runs 180
  16. bts-4120
    ones i have seen spec sheets on are geared pretty low 5.73 with 8ll but the lightest rears are usually 58ks I figured coal company was getting a sweet short term lease on them
  17. bts-4120
    twin sister to mine sure its not a lcl truck they ran them till upper 400k and trade
  18. bts-4120
    don't know about better but its the updated one no more round ones, no issues with leaks on mine pulls good, decent fuel mileage. 98 is the first e tech I believe
  19. bts-4120
    I've had real good luck with my 01 427. I had to replace the radiator the rest has been really minor things. good chance the truck would perform better had they left it at 427. change over oil color is a square alum plates stacked up instead of the round cooler mack has used for years.
  20. bts-4120
    if its a lr it will have a lo hole and reverse as slow as a 8ll
  21. bts-4120
    then how are they getting buy building glider kit? which is some thing mack should come out with too
  22. bts-4120
    300 maxidyne or 350 will be a big improvement over a 903 with no turbo 903 with turbo would be a different animal
  23. bts-4120
    you could get manual or electronic up till 97 or 98 Mack gave the manual option for a couple more years longer than cat or cummins
  24. bts-4120
    98 would be the first year i think, it will be computer controlled 400 was max manual hp
  25. bts-4120
    run the vin 4.64 on tall 24.5 was fairly common 4.78's not so much that I have seen or heard of them. if your wanting to run 68-70 1600-1700 4.42 or 4.17 with a fuller trans.
