  1. I am looking at buying a truck with a T864 in it. I had trouble with a 711 back in the late 70's and I went back to the 673. The 711 cracked between the two counterbores. I am concerned I might have the same problem with the 864. I need to use it for about 20k loaded miles a years, so I need it hold up, not just be a "show" truck. Seems like I should look for an 866 for a backup. On a related topic, did the 864 and 865/866 have a Mack single disk clutch? Can you replace the Mack clutch with a Spicer angle spring? Do you have to replace the rear housing and move the transmission mounting brackets?
  2. Thanks Skip, Very informative. I did not appreciate the difference between the 864 and the 865/866. Can you comment on the head gasket question? Was there a problem with blown head gaskets on these old motors? Do the 864 or 865/866 have fire rings? Pete
  3. So the ENDT864 was the twin turbo? Did the 865 and 866 have the same compression ratio as the ENDT864, and the same piston? Is it possible to install a an E9 injectors into the 866 head? Will E9 exhaust manifolds work on the 866 head? Pete
  4. Thanks for that. You guessed correctly, sight is bad. Is it possible to get a clearer picture of that sheet. Is the turbo compression ratio lower than the non-turbo? Pete
  5. Can someone tell me the factory horsepower rating for the turbocharged version of the 864 cu inch V8? Was there a twin turbo version as well as a single turbo? Any additional info would be helpful, maximum boost pressure, etc. Any problem with head gaskets on this motor? Thanks, Pete
  6. Great, I found it on the old site under "Info" or else "Links" and then B "Model Info". Very interesting. Tom Gannaway did a great job collecting that list. It looks like lo-lo is only usable in 1st and 2nd in the 72 series transmissions. The TRQ-72 looks like a direct main box with 15 speeds and two low holes. The TRQ-720/7210/7220 all look like a 13 speed double over with 2 "useable" low holes. I still can't work out the math for 14 and 18, but there must be some logic behind it. Thanks for the help. Pete
  7. I have seen Mack shifting plates for Quadraplex transmission, in B model cabs, that have both 14 speed and 18 speed. Is there a difference in the transmission? Does anyone have a complete list of the Quadraplex gear ratios?
  8. I see you have no replies, so I will take a stab at it. The short answer is that you would only have a problem if you were pulling real loads (40 to 50k) in the mountains or the summer time. For your application, I doubt you will have a problem. Some additional thoughts, -be sure the horizontal fins are in good shape and do not pull away from the vertical water tubes. If the lower fins are rotten, replace the core. -If you do have to replace the core, ask about using a core with an additional row of tubes. (check fan clearances and be prepared to use the water pump from the 673) -I would add a pyrometer to be sure you limit exhaust heat to 1150 deg F. This will assure you that the air intake system is able to provide sufficient air -I would consider keeping the original transmission, water temps are higher if you are pulling hard at 1200 rpm compared to 1700. -Leave the original spec thermostat in the engine I would like to see a picture of this when you are finished. peteslagel@earthlink.net Pete
