Blow By On your engine!? late Christmas Gift!
Mark T replied to fjh's topic in Engine and Transmission
I got a nice CH once over this issue. -
Someone already tried a repair on the bottom flange between the tandems. Like said earlier, fairly common place for a problem on one of those. Truck has potential, definetely worth making some kind of repair to.
-
I figured something. (and here I thought it was from me lloking at too much smut)
-
IDK what happened, I was locked out a couple days. But ty for the response. I never knew something like that existed. Maybe why I never maimed myself with one.
-
At the risk of sounding dumb, what's that one that doesn't have a regular bar for ? I've never seen a saw like that.
-
That stand Joey has looks like an OTC . There used to be adaptors for the different engines back before there were so many different engines. ( and so much clutter on them ) Quite a piece of equipment . Can't remember the price, but one of those back then wasn't for the hobbyist.

Harbor Freight always asks if you'd like to buy the extended coverage..... they should offer some kinda insurance for when you get hurt using their junk.
-
I don't think that truck looks too bad. Someone may get a good deal on it.

Duramax was a joint venture between GM and Isuzu. Those guys been using 90 degree V8s a while.
-
Ever wonder where the Duramax ideas came from ?
-
Uh uh uhhhh 😂 we do love ya Joey.... n not in the fruit cake way
-
Mech....... it was our word long before those people's. A lot less would have got done along the way if we never did what we do or did with trannies than any of this nonsense will ever accomplish.
-
(drag) racing, that may soon take on a new meaning too. Blow'n a tranny..... not gonna be a Muncy or Lenko

You guys all rag'n on NASCAR, what do you expect. They need these changes to make the move to making the cars all EVs. And you all thought Gordon was something (lol) No more Intimidator or any of the greats. It'll be EVs and drivers like "The Transitioner" and races like the ESG 100 Sponsors like some big name dispensary or something. Everything is going great. It's sickening to see how many liberties have been taken from us...... sickening.

It's cause of climate change Bob.

Connecticut Construction Trucks
Mark T replied to BKrois's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Biggest wrecker I've ever seen in my life I believe is in Connecticut. Big 6 axle Peterbilt. Looked to have 3 steering axles and 3 drives ? It's huge. Wanna say it was a hundred ton rotator (not sure) Just happened to see it passing through the area here, and I'm think'n it was going to a company in Connecticut. Never see any of those giant wreckers made out of Macks anymore. 🙁 -
CRD921/CRD931 inter-wheel lock differential
Mark T replied to JoeH's topic in Driveline and Suspension
Joey...... you feel surprised ??? You should pull one out expecting to be replacing your basic garden variety rear rear ( @ $1800.00 ) then discover it's one of those and just like that POOF $4500.00. This was back in 1998 mind you 🤣. -
CRD921/CRD931 inter-wheel lock differential
Mark T replied to JoeH's topic in Driveline and Suspension
Simply put, the higher the number the heavier the carrier was. Like a basic tractor would pretty much have 92/93s a bigger spec truck with say.. 58s would have 112/113s (bigger and accommodated bigger axles) the 200s were sorta in between and if I remember at the time anything with over a 400 (?) dictated getting 200s I bought a cutoff out of Canada once. It had 200 series carriers in 461s that had the differential lockers. I have no idea what they were in other than as best I could guess they came out off an RW or CL. Between the different series' the ratios were usually off from one another by a few hundreths of a turn or so. -
CRD921/CRD931 inter-wheel lock differential
Mark T replied to JoeH's topic in Driveline and Suspension
Never saw a 92/93 with the set up, but 200s they had ones like you described. Instead of spider and side gears, they had a cam and wedges quite similar to the interaxle power divider. There was no lockout on them like on newer Mack or Meritor/ Spicer lockers . They cost a small fortune to repair. -
I wondered that too. 2007 is likely an MP7 with injector cup issues.
-
Think that was a Williams set up. That fella takes that truck to several of the shows around here. I think he used to bring a Parker dump trailer with it. Paul's just enamored of the color choice (lol) If you watch the video, at the end there's a link to another one with a guy with a White 4000 in Australia. I thought it was interesting.
-
That's for the tag axle. So you can control the weight it carries.
-
Uh ???? Excuse me..... aren't you forgetting about where the idiot in the white house was from ? You know, back when he was a truck drive'n coal miner . Yes, some fine fine specimens we've sent out from good old Pennsylvania.

Weren't they those Behhr or whatever the name was that you were supposed to hotwire them after installing one and run it at a certain RPM until it disengaged then it was ready plug back in and drive off into the sunset ?
