  1. My first question was if he had a belt driven steering pump. Even though its a Mack. Its a Mack ive never worked on. The filters inside those old pumps clog and make the steering harder..
  2. P.A.I. has a quality product. As you go forward, post questions. Like about front hub and seal and cam gear removal and install.. you will need am oven to bake them. I wish i had extra cam books. I had a bunch, but gave away most of them..
  3. Seems like we have had to pay high tariffs for years, but Dems, want to call Trump out on fighting back against it..
  4. This engine has lifters with ceramic rollers. They will crack very easily when installing the cam. Steel lifters are available. Without insulting you, i assume you havent done one of these cams based on the question about inframe or out. Myself , i have most of the essential tools to do this job. I strongly suggest you read the Mack procedures. Most of the job is common, but there are a few procedures that have to be followed.
  5. In frame. You will need a jack or a jig to hold the front of the engine up a few inches for support, and to let the cam gear clear the front x-mem.
  6. Ok. Im thinking..... I assume you looked in the fuse panel. Do they come on when air pressure is below 65 PSI?
  7. The diagram is probably on the E-Media website. Do you have power going to the air pressure switch for the brake lights?
  8. Have you looked up at the cam lobes recently?
  9. Did you run the valves by the book, or the same way as Caterpillar or John deer
  10. We live among some really sick and stupid people.. All that money to study the impossible....
  11. Same here O.D. our auto parts stores look like graffiti..
  12. His truck will use 15W40. JoeH is right
  13. Those wheels suck. Cragar SS all the way. SST's are ok. And Keystone Classics as well.
  14. Yes sir. Really all oil is hydraulic fluid, really all fluids.. i have zero knowledge on trucks outside the States.. my guess is the pump construction determined the oil grade.. of course i have seen systems filled with the wrong oil or its mixed, and it still worked.. theres a couple guys here that can quote the book on this.. They are very smart..
  15. Yes. In that year. However. TRW systems in my time use ATF, and Sheppard use 15W40.. of course I make it sound simple. I expect some other variants to be posted.. i am not well versed on many systems.
  16. Check the lines for restrictions. Those break down internally and will restrict flow in a handful of ways.. if the lines are hard as steel you may just want to build new lines..
  17. Yep ok. I know that one very well.. ok.. carry on..... 🍻
  18. Does the steering pump have a filter inside of it ? I dont know what type it is, but some older trucks i worked on had belt driven pumps with a filter in the resevoir. I have never seen a truck like yours in person
  19. If there was a way to check the camshaft part number in yours against an ASET-I engine, that would be some useful info, also is yours a CCRS engine, if it early E-Tech the cam key may be wrong.ibwish i knew more on this
  20. No. Its the newer ones, your good
  21. I remember seeing drivers in nice slacks, shirt and jacket and wearing a tye. And it wasnt the milk man.. drivers kept themselves neat and orderly when i was a kid. But im not old enough to know more than that.
