What kind of visor is that on your B-95?

I was curious if anyone used the 4x6" LED lights in a Superliner. If so, did you have to cut out the back of the buckets to accommodate them?

I want to upgrade the headlights on my 85 Superliner. Anyone had any experience? How about Genssi XDR9?

Replacing rear cab panel on Superliner
Plowboy replied to keg1's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
I would like to replace the y-pipe and elbows on my V-8 RW. What did you use for the y-pipe and elbows. I would like to et back to shiny chrome. -
Hood hinges are still available from Mack.
-
I also would like someone to make them.

Engine has a Dynatard, recent oil change with good oil pressure and good power. No wet stacking, runs and sounds good. Has a little vapor out the breather. The original owner told me he had his local Mack dealer put in the crate motor complete because the original had cracks in heads.

Have a '85 RW with an E9 I recently bought. The story I got was that the engine was replaced with a Mack crate motor around 1994, and the truck was used very little, maybe 10,000 total miles since then. I'm getting a lot of oil out the breather, underside of the truck gets wet with oil. What does everyone think? What are my options?

I need all the parts under the hood for the air conditioning on an '85 RW with E-9. Hoses, filter/dryer, compressor & bracket, and crankshaft pulley.

I use PPG acrylic urethane for metallic and solid color basecoats, and clearcoat everything. You can wetsand and buff the clear for an outstanding finish, and buff again later for minor surface scratches that appear. It's also much easier to repair your basecoat if you have a clearcoat to blend to. I use this method for farm tractors, cars, and trucks.

I need the crankshaft pulley to drive the AC compressor. John at 585 317-6859.

1985 Superliner
Plowboy replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Were the Magnums built just in '85, or were some built in '86. My friend has an '86 Superliner, red level 4 interior, E9, passenger seat is a Magnum-labeled seat. Truck has been re-painted. -
Thanks for your replys. Now the fun starts.

I have multiple packing leaks on the exhaust manifolds and exhaust manifold piping on my '85 RW with a '94 E9. The manifold -to-head gaskets aren't leaking, but all the doughnuts are. None of the manifold bolts want to break loose. Anyone have any suggestions on getting them out? Looks like trouble.

I recently bought a 1985 RW with the E9. The air compressor seemed to run continuously, and the relief would blow down air. I adjusted the governor so it bypasses at 120 lbs by the gauge. With the truck running at 1000 RPM, when the governor bypasses, within 50 seconds, the pressure will be down to 100 lbs, and the compressor will pump back up to 120 lbs. in about 45 seconds. Then this cycle continues. I can hear no air leaks when the truck is running, and there are no leaks or loss of air pressure when I shut down the engine. Is this normal? If not, is it the governor, or something in the compressor?

Yes. From the S&H Landscape auction in Chalfont.

The new dog home and out in the sun. E9 with a 12 speed.

I applied the Eastwood's 2000K flowable seam sealer to my roof channel this morning. It worked great, used 2 1/2 tubes. A spare set of forearms would have been a plus, even at 70 degrees in the shop.
-
I haven't used it yet, but I bought flowable two-part seam sealer from Eastwood's for the roof seam. I had to remove all the existing as it had started to rust underneath. Hope to get it applied late next week.

Practice? My wife said I needed practice. Not sure what she was talking about. -

I'm doing some door repair and had quite a struggle to remove the glass and all the operators and linkage from the door. Does anyone have step-by-step instructions for re-assembling the working? Any advice would be helpfull.

Why would someone choose a Hendrickson beam suspension, as apposed to a camelback?

What are the pros-cons of a Hendricks walking-beam compared to a camelback?

This is the original label on the door of my friends Superliner. He bought the tractor new. Are these Mack numbers, and what did Consolidated Industries have to do with the paint and stripes? I'm currently re-finishing a cab for this truck, and would like to use the original base color. Thanks
