    I once had the axle surgeon here, changed a spindle on a 462 (which turns out you're not supposed to) and he asked if I minded if he took the broken one . Said he could use it cause the threads were good and it didn't have bearing issues. Must be they do stuff like that. I have a like new 46,000 pound housing (seriously, it's not even stained from a carrier) air ride that takes the 6 bolt axles. I'd take a grand for it.

    It looks great. Depth like it's cleared .

    Is that single stage ?

    I don't know about now, but D & W in Auburn NY used to be a good place to look into what you're try'n to do. At this point though ?

    There's probably enough info from this picture I can stalk you to see where to send the Texas Roadhouse gift certificate 🥩

    It works.. hard to believe it , but it works.

    Maybe it was one of those things that happened in Vegas and didn't stay in Vegas. 🤔

    Maybe a leak somewhere in the plumbing between the turbo and engine (charge air or hose) ?

    That's the admiral. The rear admiral would be my guess.

    How'd you like to be from Pennsylvania where all these fruit cakes came from ?

    True on all counts. At one point, I took a new EGR sending unit ( the crappy one they sell you ) plugged it in then secured it to the engine harness with a couple zip ties. Never touched it after that. Just left the old one in the exhaust pipe and cut off the wires with a cutoff wheel. And you're correct. it really pays to make sure the cooling system has a good thermostat and everything works so as to eliminate as much condensation as possible. and yes, the two easy bolts on the module for the mass air are enough to hold it 😀

    That add for the dump truck. There's lots of pictures with the RW in the background. I couldn't find the Superliner itself on their website. There's lots of interesting trucks at that place, and some look to be in better than "fair" shape.

    There it is. Daycab with disc wheels and Neway rear suspension. There's even a white one in the corner there.

    I bought 2. One I still have and it has 1300000 miles on most of it. the other one went into the 900000 range with very few problems before I sold it. Great drivability , cubic inch for cubic inch ??? one of the strongest engines Mack ever marketed. Respectable engine brake too.

    Been my experience a good strong E7 had trouble with the pump staying on the engine. I don't believe mine were 600 HP, but they were very strong and after being in service a while they always developed leaks in front of the pump. I remember strong E6 4valves with similar issues. Decompress it and bail the fuel to it.... it'll make 600 horse for a little while (lol)

    Why would you want to do anything to one of those ? In my opinion, one of those engines in good shape doesn't need much . Once you accept that you're going to get passed going uphill, cups now and then and the occasional replacement of the harness. They were an oddball, but none the less a good engine.

    Wasn't that a white one set up for a Caterpillar ? They have lots of trucks there with potential.
  23. Mark T
    Yep, I was wrong. It's actually in the pictures of a heavy spec Mack dump truck (ten wheeler)

    Maybe when I was on their website looking at the gliders I saw it by another truck . (sorry) But there's a blue RW there at the place. They have lots of Macks there. Looks like a few decent LTs too. Interesting site to review.
  25. Mark T
    No..... I didn't even notice that one. That place where the gliders are has a blue Superliner with stripes and air cleaners. Looks like a big spec tractor and maybe even an E9. That's not to say I don't love that orange one in your picture
