  1. While driving a r model home the air pressure gauge started to climb right to 150 psi. For some time the truck was spitting at 120. Then it stopped and it would climb right to 150 psi. I changed the governor and it was fine for 10 miles or so. It now climbs right to 150psi. I was bob tailing and ran with the trailer valve open. There's a finned canister behind the cab. It has air in and air out along with some wires all cobbled together. Any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  2. 12 hours punch in to punch out for the day or log on log off needs a log. My dad has been worried about this for some time. He lucked out for now his truck is a 99. Hopefully he will be retired before things change any ore for the worse.

  3. I'm looking to buy an r700. I've looked at quite a few trucks. Most have pretty bad cabs. Hence the roof skin wanted post. Any help would be well appreciated. Truck will not be exported. I don't have a preference on engine and trans specs. Just looking for a clean truck to restore.

  4. I was wondering if anyone on here has altered the rear springs to improve the ride of the truck. It's a single axle. I have considered cutting an inch or 2 off the ends of each spring and Possibly removing the 3rd and 5th leaf. I still run bias ply tires. An air ride swap is also doable, however I would like to keep the rear in the truck. Any thoughts?

  5. I think it's time to let my truck go. It has an endt675 engine, and a 5 speed trans. 322,00 miles. The truck was parked in 1991 and stored indoors until 2012. I have the full report and book from the mack museum. The inside of the truck was fully gutted, cleaned, and placed back in. There is a brand new mattress in the sleeper as well. All interior lights and gauge lights replaced. The Floors are soft in some places. The cab was waxed, seam sealed, along with the pass side, tool box area repaired( it is not body worked yet). The exhaust and intake brackets are powder coated satin black. The exhaust is new along with the air filter. The water pump, thermostat and alternator are new, radiator repaired. Truck has new steers, dr rear brakes, new rear pots, 4 new batteries, front and rear mud flaps, all fuel lines are new, hydraulic tilt system completely rebuilt. Front glass has a small chip other glass is good. Chassis was wire wheeled and painted black. All fluids are new along with the filters. I drive the truck everywhere. It's first run was to the York show. It doesn't leak any liquids or give me any issues what so ever. Will take and post pics next weekend. Not sure what this is worth so make me an offer. My cell is 570-561-3569.
