Ok guys I have a issue..I tried to remove the wheel with no luck..so I moved it on the first joint at the box ..the 1 on the top of the adapter..moved it about half inch to the left and now I can only turn the wheel about 6 inches in either direction not even enough to turn the truck much..I plan to put it back where it was at but why is this ..I didn't move the gear on the steering box ..just pick the shaftup and turn it to the left about half inch..

Thank you for that

Oh!......BTW......when taking the horn button loose, try not knocking off the rubber dog ears cause if you do then it is harder or never get the horn to work.

This is what I'm worried about..

Do I remove the center plastic or do the big hard plastic come off ..

Yes new springs for sure .and yes it touch the wheel stops plus I have 425 65 22.5 on the front no cookie cutter tire lol

I tried taking the top section off but put it back cause when I removed the bolt it had a groove cut in it for the bolt to keep it on place..I didn't try to remove the bottom cause I figured it was the same as the top ..now it may not be so I will check it out..as far as the turning radius lol its no as much as I'm use to..I'm thinking cause my other truck is a tri axle with 16foot bed my mack is a quad with 19foot and about 2foot from cab..so I figured it's the reason it don't turn as good..but I will check it out to see thanks for the information on that

No wondering at all I'm thinking it's been off before..I just got this Truck not long ago about 3 weeks drives great just off Center..I'd like to place it back to center so my arm isn't straight all the time trying to hold on to the metal in the middle lol

2000 rd688 the steering wheel is so far off Center it's not comfortable driving I'd like to remove it and turn it back around..I tried to remove the shaft by unbolting it butilizes it has a slot the bolt goes back in and can't move it..so does the horn cap pop off or I need to pop the center that's kinda soft off ..thanks 

Ok guys put about 2500 miles on my truck running great ..this morning same problem going to work same injector broke 2 new studs ..what's going on here..I'm hoping that I can just screw the Olds 2 out this time and replace with new grade 8 bolts again but this is crazy ..any thing I should look for to cause this problem..

Thanks guys ..injector look like there not very old 1 new line on back from injector to line..what's the oil of choice for macks ..I use Rotella in my cummins ..

My truck I just got 2000 mack rd688 e7 400 has 380xxx miles should I have the lash set or checked..quad dump truck 

E7 400 8speed fuller trans..

Ok thanks ..I'll check it out with a good load..none of my others have had a gauge ..

Ok thanks I'll take a look at that..

I thought it was but it only gets up to about 5 or so ..what should I check..it pulls good runs strong..came home about 290 miles ran from 60 to 75 most the way in .

Bottom right side what's this gauge for I'm new to this truck .2000 rd688

If you have never drilled broken bolts out than dont start  on this.This can be done but dont use one of the cheap easy outs.For the price of a block it would be good for you to get some one who has done this.

Ohhhh yes your right it's in a shop ..we've been discussing our options cause I need it done right..we've used time sert on cylinder head on race cars so I was thinking it should be able to keep this in place...

Few pictures 

Wow ok so normal thing ..are they grade 8 bolts or should I just replace with grade 8..

And thanks for the heads up on this

Pick my dump truck up yesterday drove about 50 miles bolt broke out in last injector it popped out..you guys think it's possible to drill out and time sert it in the truck with no problems. Maybe remove the turbo and exhaust down piping..

I see its a lot of pressure on those injectors I tried to push it back in no luck about a 1/4 wouldn't go ...

Thank you..I'm new to mack hopefully my truck will be here by next weekend..I drive the truck runs great ride great so there will be way more questions to come lol..I have a freightliner now had a sterlin and a gmc all dump trucks..
