https://macktrucks.vg-emedia.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=6543&GroupId=-1 You're looking for Mack manual 8-201, if your dealer is halfway decent they should be able to order it for you, but you can also download it for free by clicking "View File"

My absolute favorite is 23-021 https://macktrucks.vg-emedia.com/ProductListing.aspx?keyword=23-021 It's a data program on a flash drive that has just about every Mack wiring diagram from 2000 forward. Engine wiring, chassis wiring, transmission, vendor engines, emissions wiring... Well worth the $180, though your 1995 won't be in there.

Macks emedia website is chock full of free downloadable manuals as well as buyable paper copies either through website or your dealer.

I started an account on PAI website which is great for the parts catalogs, but I assumed I'd be able to order parts online too, but I don't see any function for it. Where/how do you guys buy PAI Mack parts?

Probably the sensors on the diff lock mechanisms.

Do you have much mechanical knowledge/support? You're missing a fair bit of peripheral parts on that engine. If it's a free truck that you have to invest a bit to get running I say go for it, but double check first that you can get a title for it and get it registered and legal for the road. Would be a pain to get the truck running then not be able register it because of paperwork issues.

How many miles are on the truck? This truck should have an AI-350 motor I expect. Don't pick up an AC motor for it, it's a different bag of garbage emissions stuff. The AI motor you can delete the emissions stuff and create a much better breathing engine. Just look up "loggin dog dead dog remediation" on this forum.

Look for cracks around the top of the truck frame at the very front of the dump body. I've seen otherwise perfect used trucks that had cracked frames there. As the frame flexes going down the road the front of the dump box creates a pressure point on the frame.

Allison Autos are usually paired with 350-375 hp motors, much more than that and you'll burn out the clutch packs during shifts. Your rear axle ratio is going to be important for quarry work, in PA quarry roads are STEEP! Not sure where you are. Truck has camelback suspension which is ideal for quarry work in my opinion, assuming it's rated for the loads you'll put on it.

The way I see it, Castle Law applies. Someone breaks into your house, make sure you don't shoot them in the back...

Bridge approaches are sketchy in our truck, never noticed how badly interstate roads drop before you enter/exit bridges, but our truck would throw you pretty hard. Fortunately most of our driving is local non highway.

We have an mr688 we put together 2 years ago. Best truck to work on, tilt the cab forward and EVERYTHING is right there. But it rides rough, with a 20k steer axle. Wish I could put air bags on the rear cab mounts...

If it continues, I'd pull valve covers and double check valve lash. You could have a dropped valve seat.
