Would anyone happen to have a air line diagram for 89 RW 613? Or know where I can buy one? As I am fixing I am realizing the previous owner did a number on everything he touched. I am getting ready To go thru the complete air system and would like a guide so to speak in case there is anythin missing. As always thanks in advance you guys are great help for newbs like me. 

It's coming a long slowly still putting parts together

Looks great! You do beautiful work! Can I ask a question though? Where you spliced the frame I see you left it strait vertical. I have seen all different ways people do it. Any reason you chose that way over the others? I'm just wondering.

Thank you all for the info. I haven't seen any E9 supers anywhere near me. If I found one for 8500, I would def buy it up.

Hi everyone, I'm in the parts gathering process Superliner. My engine is a E6 300 4V with a 9 speed maxitorque. It seems to run well and sounds good but, has a more than fair amount of blow by and when the temp goes down it doesn't want to start. We are talking 30-40 deg f.  Anyway getting back to my  ? I found a 79 E9 400 with low mi it looks to be complete with fan alternator turbo ect.. they want $6500 for it. and i know rebuilding my E6 can add up to that easily. Would it be worth the swap and would it bolt to my trans? I haven't seen the engine in person, is that year a year to stay clear of? It would be going into a 89 truck if that makes a difference. Also it looks to have a luberfiner filter could that be converted to spin on filters? The truck is just a toy I figured a good running used  motor should last a long time plus I'd rather have the E9 even though its just to have it. Thanks in advance for the help.

Another Manders special. RUN!!!!!

 

lol I was going to say that. But on a side note something about it really looks mean imo. 

Love it. I think it found the best home it could ask for.

That's not that difficult if you have a bit of key info.

In a matter of helping your friend as you mentioned above you better remove big side covers on the carriers you have and count actual teeth. They are seem well from there. Then relate your counts to the figures I posted above and Bob's your uncle, as Britishes would say

Well I guess I figured out why the one the one that was in the superliner that was messed up was messed up. 4.42 in the front 4.12 in the back. Is that even a Mack ratio? Well anyway that combo in aluminum splits the case. We found out the good parts I have won't help my friend out. That being said thank you Vlad for your info and thank you to all the rest of the people that contributed the previous info. Great info learned and stored in my rolodex.

Math should be applied to figure out final ratios.

One of the posts above explaines how to do it.

A while back I found the top set gears (bewel ones pinion and the ring) teeth numbers somewhere on the net. For CRD92/93.

As you can see from the below every upper gear set provides multiple carrier ratios. This is because of different lower (bull gear) sets.

 

13x17:     4.50, 4.76, 5.13

14x17:     3.86, 4.17, 4.42

16x17:     3.65, 3.87

13x19:     4.46, 5.02, 5.32, 5.73

13x21:     5.55, 5.88, 6.34, 7.00, 7.13

 

Unfortunately bull gears were not explained where I got the numbers from. But using math you can get those secondary (lower) sets ratios. Not the gear counts though but ratios.

For example: 14x17 teeth set ratio is 17/14 = 1.214. It is used in 4.17's. 

If you divide 4.17 by 1.214 you get 4.17/1.214 = 3.435. This is the ratio of the bull gear set of 4.17 carrier. If you know the teeth count for one of those bull gears you could get the other one's. But I don't.

Now look for 5.02. It has 13 and 19 teeth in the upper set. 19/13 = 1.461. Than dividing 5.02 by 1.461 we get 3.436. This is the same figure as we got at 4.17 count (the difference between 3.435 and 3.436 is math roughness because I used limited number of digits after point.) So we determine by that 4.17 and 5.02 carriers have similar bull gear sets. 

Thank you for sort of  "dumbing it down" for me, I was trying to get a grasp on the way it was explained above. It having a hard time with it.  This made it a lot easier for me.

I hate to bring up a old thread but is there a chance someone has a gear chart they could post? I am trying to figure out if I can use some of my old parts to help a friend out.

Sorry for your loss.

Merry Christmas to you all and your families.

they have 4....just double checking drivers side  1 on air tank under batt. box    2 on pass. side air tank under batt. box  and one on the frame rail behind the trans on the drivers side.     the air governor is on the fire wall passenger side.   

Thank you! I'll check it out. I'm starting to get to know semi's I have a lot to learn!

Are all the air tank drains shut? 

Yep they are. I had to check twice. 

On my 89 superliner. When I first went and looked at it. It built air psi. But when it got delivered, it wouldn't build any at all. Nothing has changed. I cracked a line and you can hear air but it's not much. So I guess I wondering is there a check valve or a governer on the compressor? I know freightliners have a governer that if it goes out it won't build air. I'm not familiar with the systems. I may have looked right at it and didn't notice one. Thanks in advance for any insite. 

I really like the truck good luck with the sale. I wish the one I'm doing had the V8.

Gotta love the porn red interior!

Those are nice but I want one of these snow machines

 

You're talking about the one on the right? The one on the left is more of a distraction than a snow removal machine.

Happy thanksgiving to all of bmt. 

Nice rides. I also ride on top of the snow. Here is a pic of my ride. Nothing special. 04 night fire.

It's defiantly hot enough to melt the snow.
