I took a picture , then this guy went by and photo bombed my side view

White shed with a green roof ? I have one like that. Love it, hope you like your's as much

That looks like it's over 13'6"

ATF works if you don't mind having everything loosened up and pumped through the engine. If you're careful and change the oil and filter a couple times there's a slim chance. Nothing is a quick fix other than rebuilding it. With modern oils and a nice hot ignition ? it'll probably never happen again.

I bet they never figured that car would have air bags like that in it

If it was ok then started doing this ? It's not the air. Spring(s) or saddles and blocks are worn out.

That's the "Lucky" model

I don't think he's driving a Mack (?) of coarse no girl's gonna look (FYI I like seeing the weekly photos too )

Tom Tom Tom.....you need to post some pictures if you ask a question like that ( lol )

It looks like the same guy has an R for sale too.

That guy's hood extension (?) isn't quite as involved as Truck Shop's

Yes not sure why, but everything new ( clutch, transmission ) and gap was too big. I used an Eaton two piece and a torque limiting ..... Worked fine. I'm sure something was mismatched, I know I put a new Eaton 7 spring clutch in it as opposed to the K+ for a 9 spring

I did it on a 107 once after installing a new clutch.

Air chisel with long bit, then a die grinder to cut through the stainless ring that's inside the brake. If someone had two in there ? you might need something to take up space. Remember the more you turn the adjusting ring on the clutch cover the less holding force you have.

I wondered the same thing. If so ??? a fitting location to take pictures of a DePaul truck

I forgot all about that

There was one in Truck Paper not too long ago. New in a crate

Love all the pictures. Thanks

There's several variations of clutches. Basically a 14 inch goes in a flywheel with a (pot) like you have and a fifteen and a half inch goes on a (flat) flywheel . there's also some different types of locking of the adjustment. Some with the two bolts holding it to the cover are spring loaded and lock in place after turning (like yours) others have the same thing except they're not spring loaded and have a strap that is hexed to go around the adjusting bolt to lock it. then some have an actual locking tab that bolts to the cover and goes between the lugs on the ring in the cover ( there's no picture of one of those here ) Your's ??? I'd be really surprised if the ring in the cover will turn. You'll push that adjuster in and it will turn.....but really not turn the ring inside the cover. Remember, this can only be turned if the clutch is disengaged. ( like if it was together, someone would have to hold the clutch in while you turned the adjustment) In general, any 14 inch clutch will work. differences are holding force and input shaft size ( inch and 3/4 or 2 inch ) You're gonna go nuts with the clutch you have. Try and find a better one that wasn't as worn out as the one in the pictures.

That clutch is shot. The pressure plate may even be shot as well ( like already adjusted to it's limit ) I once helped a guy who replaced a clutch cable in one of those and installed it backwards. The original Mack one goes farther from one direction than from the other. As far as the clutch in the truck, the space between the bearing and the clutch brake should be around a half inch and not much more. this is done by turning the adjustment on the pressure plate and to do that requires holding the clutch disengaged so it will turn. Be aware the more it's adjusted (turned) the less holding force the clutch will have. Looks like maybe time to see about finding a different clutch assembly

I also kinda wonder why the levers on the pressure plate seem to have a circular mark scratched into them.....hmmm

$ynchro

You need to find yourself an old 2 inch input shaft that's in good shape to use for lining up those clutches. It's much easier than using the transmission. I still think a disc could be backwards. I'd feel really bad if you took it apart again only to find you had them in correct though.

It's possible the discs are backwards. they only work one way, but will go together backwards

Ahhhh I see. There's a lot to explore on that truck from looking at the pictures. At some point, that truck was loved
