Is it possible for a shop to put the wrong opinion in a rear end of my Mack from past experiences on vehicles I know that the ring and pinion are so as they set but could somebody possibly just stick the pinion in and have it be the wrong gear ratio what's happening is my third axle tires look like little ski jumps they're spinning faster than axle number two which destroyed my rear end output shaft and I'm just lost they said oh it's because of tires I measure with a tape on concrete the tires are only a quarter inch difference many times I've changed just four tires on that axle four tires on the other axle ever since this shop had the truck the first time when the pinion that came loose and ripped it up it's done this and now it's ripped it up again anybody got any idea please help me

If some one put in only the pinion gear not with matching ring gear::1-should possibly have a whining noise ;2- mismatched ratios it should have blown apart depending the mileage. 3- front rear ratio different than rear rear driveline would have twisted apart. 4- not knowing what this unit is ==highway tractor; dump etc. 5- when tires were changed one axle at a time ; are the same style tires installed on all 8??? 6- have you checked the brake performance in terms of all working /adjusted the same ??? chopping tires would be brake application out of adjust. no smoking rubber when brakes applied??

I have a 1969 DM611S, ENDTB-673 w/a TRQ-7220 18 speed Quadruplex. (a great old Mack!) In the course of a clutch job, I later discovered the shop had damaged the casting @ the lower, rear driver's side of the block where it receives the 'through-bolt' of the bell housing to the block! This of course has made it unsuitable for rebuilding. As a rebuilt engine - could I use a slightly newer 4-valve Maxidyne engine block and rebuild it as a Thermodyne - and - could I use the set of 4-valve heads in the rebuild? Your thoughts and/or any experience(s) on the matter would be received w/my appreciation and interest. My thx in advance for any insights or advice on the matter. Ed
