The other day I saw this in the yard. One of our out of town customer was doing a job nearby and the boss let them park it there for a while.

Almost looked like Trent was visiting!!!

i would say that was a upgrade

Just to clarify, an anyone attend or only members of the ATCA?

anyone

It was great to meet both of you. Every year I think back at who I got to talk to, spend time with or meet, this year was a busy one! It was a great day!

Doug my wife beat me all the way to the stop light

yes it was fun for the whole family ....what a show

This is just another of my hobby trucks so it's not a service availability issue. Cost is really not a prohibitive issue to repair correctly, but no need to expend the funds unless necessary. What started this is that I couldn't get the truck to idle as smoothly as it should, and was down on power a little bit. When accelerating, the pull seemed "sluggish" all through the power band. I pulled all the nozzles which were rebuilt last year, and ran another compression test both dry and wet with excellent, even results. All eight cylinders are well within 5% of each other. I then pulled the pump and installed a brand new one, (not rebuilt) and the truck idles much better, and smoother. I then shipped the pump to my buddy in Wisconsin for evaluation. I haven't driven the truck with the new pump installed. It's raining now with no paint on the cab, (bare steel).

This is the truck that will get the Detroit engine also so I'm at a crossroads. Trouble is that I never know when another truck may come along just itching for a good V8 installation........ This engine really does run well and is a strong puller.

Thanks,

Rob if you half ass guess what the outcome is

Only two more weeks to go to Gerharts show.

Hope to see you there!!

i just went through the same thing you cant get the rams but you can get the rebuild kit

the part # is 4866kc1526

hi all i was just wondering if any one can help me track down a left hand and a right hand set of cab lift rams to suit my v8 ultraliner .so far i have had no luck tracking origionals down only after market ones which are totally wrong, mack in western australia are useless as tits on a bull at helping find parts unless its got a volvo badge,if any one can help it would be good ,price does not phase me .i am also trying too track down part numbers 275ax-f it is a cab suspension component any help from anywhere in the world would be great.

cheers spud

I KNOW WERE THERE IS A R MODEL GOLD WHITE MAXIDYNE IT HAS BEEN PAINTED GREEN BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE IT EVEN THE FRAME IS GOLD

The first thing I thought of being wrong is a head. Of coarse that is the worst case imaginable, but I've been there before with an E7, but are readily available. My Mack dealer in Decatur Il. could not find any, reman. or new, anywhere in the U.S.. I called Adelman's in Ohio. Same story, NONE ANYWERE!!!! UGH!!! I tested an E9 out Sat. in Indy. Perfect truck, fell in LOVE with the E9, but had this one little problem, coolant in blowby....I won't by a pink elephant. Or something I can't afford to chase down parts all over the country. I have'nt the time being an owner/operator. But I so appreciate the come back from all who responded to my call for help. SOMEDAY?

remack will reman your heads off of your truck through your dealer
