:clap:What we need todo is turn back the N.american clock back afew years! it was a much better time for 'us' all!

Better yet,how about are friend from South of the border check there... .Maybe you haven't noticed,most people on here prefer to keep our trucks in N.America.

"Maybe you havent noticed,most people on here prefer to keep our trucks in N.AMERICA"

but...watch what you say! many of your macks and mack parts came from the friendly NORTH!

When I talked to Columbus diesel, they said to use a Hx not Ht. it spins in reverse and builds better boost. the flang is mount is different from the the stock E9 manifold. the exhaust cast elbo is an odd size o.d., so you might have to change the elbo. Mine was pitted bad, so I took 2 90deg 5" cut them lenght wise and fit them to have the same turn angle as stock cast elbo.

I know some people will take this the wrong way, So here goes! lots of people say they have this or that done to the engines/trucks, by different shops or by them selfs, but when some one asks what was done in "DETAIL" almost NEVER is there reply!?

why is that? would it be wrong to share "DETAILED" info? is it because you spent the money to do the modifaction, your ego wont let you share "DETAILED" info? we are all on BMT for the same reason! BOBO

Mine is a '89 with the ambac vee.

Thanks Staxx thats what we thought, but the "old" parts guy at the dealer did find the number and ordered the gasket! We installed it last nite! ran the truck for about 1/2 hour, pumped the brakes down to make it kick on and no leaks! I used a thin coat of hi-temp rtv gasket maker aswell. the gasket was found in one of the old paper parts binders, under power steering piping, which makes no sense, when the power steering pump is bolted beside it not to it! bobo

Does any one know the part number for the E9, bendix 701 air comp. mounting gasket? I have gone to dealer, and 2 jobbers, we cant find numbers or even a picture of it? bobo

The golden leafs will look good on the red! They will be in the mail monday!

happy B'day!

happy Bday!

check it out http://ontario.kijij...QAdIdZ373661167 its a couple hours north west of Toronto. bobo

Thanks eh! bobo

Does the E9 have different flywhheel bores? 10" or 8.5"? Im tryn to find a high torque clutch. I have an Eaton 2050tq, but i its for a 10" bore and mine is 8.5". The 2250tq Lipe is also 10" bore. Can I bore my flywheel to 10"? bobo

Yes they were sold in Canada. The RB was was phased out 1st, all legends were 2004 RD! and i think they brown or green only Bobo

Its an easy way of cheating to get more life out of pin that wasn't greased enough! The problem I have seen with the set up is the top cap some times doesn't want to stay in, I've tried "green" locktite but still pop out as they are hand press. If you use air grease gun, the pressure will blow cap off! I think it would have been better if mack would have made it threaded like the bottom and use the same key. bobo

Uncle Rob the "adjustment" is real to set the camber when "loaded", but many people hear adjustable and think its to tighten up the pins. bobo

p.s. I always change BOTH kingpins! and so should you!

happy Bday Dog!

Welll I guess Im just a "cowboy"

If one slack adj. is bad im not going to change the other five! If a peanut bulb in the dash goes out, Im not going to change them all! If one wheel seal is leaking, and the other wheel seals are not, Im not going to change them all! If I rip one mud flap off, and the other side is still firmly attached to the hanger, Im not going to change them all! The expection to the "cowboy" mentality If one wheel stud is broken, I will change three wheel studs! If more than one wheel stud is broken, I will change all wheel studs on the particular wheel/hub! not all the wheel/studs on the truck!

I am a OWNER/OPERARATOR as well as a LICENCED 310T MECHANIC. after/during and or prior to a repair, an inspection is made, and if its NOT BROKEN, WORE OUT or DAMAGED. THIS 'COWBOYS' NOT CHANGING IT!

funny... a salesman always tries to get you to buy more than one, even though you only need one. I guess thats 'cowboy paranoia' Cowboy bob o

Replace springs in pairs or the new one will be short lived as the other side has already begun to "sag" due to age.

Rob

SO...If I break a spring on the driver side, I should replace the passenger side spring thats not broken?! THATS SILLY!! At a cost of 800 to 1000$ for a spring and u blots for a 20,000# front.

SO... If I get a flat tire on the driver front, I should replace the passenger side tire thats not flat?! THATS SILLY!! At a cost of 800 to 1000$ for a 425/65/22.5

just sayn' BOBO

thinking...
