Back in that time I figured roadway must have owned part of DD. I never could figure why anybody would have DD’s in any truck!
-
Never saw a 6V-92 in a R model
-
I worked on them in the 90’s. Roadway had a bunch of white’s. They were 6V-92’s. Had the slipper bearing campaign going on. Might not be anything wrong but had to replace them. I remember when Detroit’s came out with what they called them air to air. Everybody calls it charged air. We had to change the valve springs. They had them set at low rpm’s and they just gunted up the (air box); The Mack’s that had the DD’s were old roadway trucks. (slipper bearing) was a wrist pin bearing; when bad they would miss due to low compression.
-
I know roadway had a lot of Detroit’s in there trucks. Worked on an old roadway Mack that had an 8V-71 in it. Thinking it was an U model but might of been a R.
-
I don’t see it that way. People have gotten new vehicles under lemon laws and the whole vehicle wasn’t the problem. This mans been out of lots of time & money.
-
So they don’t have any intentions of replacing the truck? Just doesn’t seem right
-
I like them
-
rpms need to come down to shift up; rpms need to go up to shift down. Bunch of patients & practice; everybody has been there.

Everybody to there own; but if it was mine I’d paint it.

Good stuff right there!

I like the boobage!!! Just saying -
All the old timers really liked the 6-110’s; especially in cranes & tugs; they had more torque than the 8V-71 that supposedly replaced them. want never forget; I worked on a tug that had a 6-110 on the port & 8V71’s on center & starboard & they wanted them 8V’s to do like that 110. Ha

Sure hope that fixes it; but they should reimburse you for all your down time. It’d be different if it didn’t take them this long

Vibration that 2 mechanics and Mack dealer can’t figure out

I know I would go to a place that was recommended; that had great results after what you’ve been through!! -
Did the booze have something to do with loosing your seat?
-
I thought the 24’s had turbos & I know intercoolers; had 8V-71’s in the rear. Thought some of the 8V’s were turboed too. Been long time, back in the 90’s the other 24’s on the job had Cummins best I can remember
-
Yes; the 1’s I worked on were like ts-14’s. Weren’t to many 24’s down here. worked on 1 truck that had 12V-71 & can’t remember brand ( those years didn’t like trucks that much ) but he hauled chickens; he said they’d be plucked by the time he got to the stock yard. Ha
-
No it was a terex rebranded or something; newco or something like that, just got the names mixed up. I worked on the Euclid’s too. Used to be a saying hand there finger up there ass & pointed to the shop. Worked on some euclid bottom dumps with 12v’s; they would raise wheelies coming out of the pits.
-
My bad; the 1 I was thinking of looked & painted the same as terex. Maybe name started with a (n). Can’t remember. I just worked on terex & wasn’t many in these parts, the left bank head was kinda in bad spot.
-
Worked on a few myself; I’d love to have 1 in a truck also. Most of my work were on tugboats. They are good engine & 1’s with hydraulic gov’s really sound sweet! I think that wabco & terex are basically the same; there a pretty good chore.
-
Welcome; user name of 12V71, do you have 1 in something?
-
Just picking on you a little; a garden is a full time job.

I don’t know how to pull up recent post; but start researching & you’ll see what I’m talking about
