Mack Technician

The first time the rod snapped the machine came in chip free and clean as a whistle. Little head scratch....hmmm...maybe fatigue? It does have 25,000 hours?

Your guess is as good as mine FJH. I use to think Mercedes was spooky. They mount high and stick the filter in a bullet proof canister. Some of our off-road engines have multiple oil pumps so you can hold the engine nearly vertical (like a dozer climbing a coal pile) and still pick-up oil. Those machines use upside down spin-on (bottom facing upward from top of engine) with check valves in filter to hold oil during engine-off. Seems like some engineers get a kick out of new ideas, even bad ones. Like plastic surge tanks.

You have the techs and specs on it? You install a mated top gear set you need some info on set-up.

Dump the compartments, remove both wheel hubs, clean wheel bearings, pressure wash banjo, etc.

Shock load, sustain overload, etc. Sleeping crack in gear tooth (teeth) that came to full bloom while driving. Kinda like when you throw your back out lifting a boat trailer tongue, but don't realize it. You sneeze two days later and you feel a "POP" then can't stand up for a week.

OTR performance makes a $90 boost dummy for testing. Good to buy and have. We had one at our shop made of a large pipe cap drilled and pipe tapped for a 1/4" air nipple. Put 10psi on it and find your boost leak. Never see bad turbos from the box, they are too low tech. Unless you bought from some brand X, eBay, china firm. Mack also has an awesome universal boost circuit tester made for MP group. I use it on everything, even 13.5 liter John Deere with VGT. Stretch, but it fits. For turbo warranty a Mack shop would pull and disassemble every tube from air filter to engine intake and change air filter. Psi wash CMCAC. If turbo through-shaft breaks on failed turbo we pulled the oil pan to make sure shaft frags were not in basement. Drain or remove intake, I never had to pull an intake. I have pulled the exhaust pipes to find the impeller from blow-up. In Wisconsin we also hang the CMCAC so residual wash water can not collect and freeze crack the low rib of CMCAC core. Good luck.👍

The movie only gets good after the fifth time you see it. I brought it to deer camp one year and my brother got mad at me. Two years later He and my brother-in-law had bought a copy and began showing up at camp with Linenkugels.

Swallow'inn of Rapid River, Michigan. Remnar Sody found a girlfriend and won a free case of Lienekugels. Put it on your Yooper bucket list if you ever get up there . Did you see the movie or widdle it down on google?

NAILED IT 41!!!!!!!

potential hint......only place in North America you can see this much smoke coming out of a wood mill. Boiler start-up system must have a Mack E6 pony motor.

Went on the road to find a new used Toyota. Stopped at a roadhouse bar, had supper and got a room. Bar was the filming location of a Jeff Daniels movie (one of few) which he wrote screenplay/Starred-in/Produced.

Searched the house over, no Peterbilt/Kenworth/International jackets anywhere.

Looks like he is taking a bite out of your real estate value. Very cool catch.

Just bought one from salvage yard, cheap, no rust. Google "Manders Diesel". They will do cross-up. Mail order.

Why head gasket?

Wonder if anyone else can't open it? Using "windows media player". I have windows 10, but that should not matter? Maybe I'll upload the cellphone video... nope..file is 17GB on phone.

I have to do a "count-up", my 6 year old got to push the switch and backward counting always confuses him. Here is the video..... turn volume to full for best effects... HDV_0238.MP4

If we take metal shards from the Takata........ Body-double-Fred's head should "pop". The boys were really enjoying the experiment.
