    I have a rectifier mounted near my generator/alternator ( which ever) on our 1954 LS85 mack .what is the purpose of this item ?
  2. 609albert
    What area of the truck is it coming from, front ,rear etc? could be universal joints,loss plate under truck,loose connection for the tag/ speedometer cable, has it done this since you owned the truck?
  3. 609albert
    also you have to bleed in the correct rotation usually the shortest ones first (front then rear) the best way is with the vaccum pump a cheap one is about $30. and follow the instructions

    my son and I now own one of the'L' model mack pumpers featured in the cape cod group ,photos of it on pages 6,7,8 it was lettered a TUNBRIDGE , it was also in the line up of several 'L's in a row, most photos where taken in the late 90's, we purchased the truck in 2009 and did a off frame restoration, just got it back on the road in dec 2011, readying for the parade and muster circuit now.

    just got my L 54 MACK back on the road and not used to the shifting double clutching ,start out in 2nd gear and have trouble sometimes getting into 3rd, have to stop and start again,sometimes catch it just right, also downshifting from 4th to 3rd, I know you have to catch the engine speed just right. would a tachometer help me or any other hints that would help shifting?
