I never met a dot officer that was smart enough to tell a 38 rear from a 44 rear. They will look at tire ratings and thats about it

24.5s on the truck 

Pulling a tri axle trailer …. 24.5 tires on truck and trailer … 

Looking at a superliner.  38 rears.   300 6 sp. 

I haul heavy 99k.  All hiway mostly.  
 My R model has 44s.   Are the 38s durable enough for this weight on a daily basis ? 
 

thanks 

Check the frame rails if it’s a double frame.  
24 is a decent price in today’s market.   Last year it was a 18k truck. 

I have a issue with my turn signals and 4 ways.  They Stop working. I’ve replaced the switch and the relay.  And one have an idea where the ground wires might be for them ?

They're still avalibly new and Watt's Mack used to have them in stock. But the costs became not too pleasingly in the recent years.

The rocker panels I used for repair of my R688 cab were 169QS43P3 RH and 169QS44P3 for the left.

As for the roof skin keep in mind there were shorter cabs (pre- 72 or so) which had shorter roof sheet. So look for the later (or the longer) one.

Thanks for the part numbers.

I would need a little more info on the engine. Is it an IEGR engine? We have 4 of them. The power band is higher. They really don’t build power until 1300-1400 rpm. Not a bad engine. Did have oil leaks from the exhaust manifold bolts for a while. Also the Oil pressure sensor On the filter housings leaked on them. All of ours are over 25000 hours. 

I am looking an a 2006 CHN with a 460 , what are the cons of this engine , it  has 20k hrs on it  

Thanks,

is this still for sale ??
