I understand, I guess I was thinking that in those gears you are pulling hard to get up to speed.. I hope you get this fixed soon... jojo

I'm just a 'Guppy' in the ocean called "business".. but these high costs have an instant impact on me. My service truck is a diesel, I get around 12 mpg. 30 gallon tank. Certainly nothing compared to my old Century class truck with 2 (95) gallon tanks. which I owned in 2005-06 when fuel was $5 bucks a gallon in the northeast region, where I ran the most.. My issue is that I dont have A large reserve of money, because I am so small and can only do so much work by myself, I dont pull in big buck's. I have 2 road calls to do this morning and I need to squirt some fuel. So I will probably buy $50.00 worth, to go out and gross $150-$200.00.. That isnt business owner earning's, thats employee earnings at Wal-Mart. then factor in that all of my products have gone up 50-100%.. IE: Brake cleaner/ Penetrating oil/ Grease tubes/ all forms of oils that I use/ D.O.T. brass/ ect: My cash rate is only $60/ hour, Now I have to raise my price to ALL of my customers. Anyway, I know I went out there a bit, but to me it's all the same issue... jojo

did the shop check the u-joints, and air ride height? just curious? has the drive shaft been apart and put back together wrong? I know you have a 12 spd, just curious.. jojo

What's going on, is the intentional destruction of the core of our great country!!! The lib news talks about the issues, product shortages, high rent, high food prices, high fuel prices, and all of of us white people are racist... And they love every minute of it.. They are fueling the fire that is burning us to the ground.. FJB, and K.H. and N.P. and Mayorkas , and so many more.... dammit, I get so pissed off !!... Jojo

thats it !!! its quick and done.. jojo

I dont believe they are the same metal as piston rings.. the E-9's I worked in recently had the rings and they were steel not piston ring metal.. however, im in no position to tell you what to do.. just thinking outside the box.. jojo

i have never tried, but is it possible to remove the rings, clean the grooves, gently heat the rings and stretch them out , and when they are larger pour cold water on them to set them to size, then re-use them?

its sh!t like this that chaps my A$$ !!! M-Drive is f'n junk... period... my wife was a service writer at Our local Mack dealer 4+ years ago and she said that Hilco Transport would request a new tranny under warranty and it was still 13K , no warranty, the cost was around 16K .. for a re-man.. Mack pro? can you confirm my wifes memory... its been a while.. I hope my E-7/ E-Tech rebuilding plan pulls through.. I wish I had tranny tools, but its hard to beat "Overdrive rebuilders" in my area... jojo

Thanks Glenn.. God Bless you sir... jojo

pull the trolly brake handle down and try again.. older trucks used to have a 'lockout' for sliding the fifth wheel. I guess they want ed you to be sure the trailer brakes are set before you slide.. jojo

Thanks guys... Now... Back to work... jojo

My God Guy's ... Thank's to ALL of you.. I am blessed to have the friends here at BMT.. With love... Joey Mack..

Thank you guys.. What a great present !.. I feel the love .. Thank you ALL so much... Jojo

👍

Thank you so much!!!! I didnt pick up a single wrench YET today... I wish you well... Jojo

Just curious, can Mack hook PTT to it and look at the history that way? jojo

I just recently saw some E-9 exh. manifolds, that were sleeved, so that the sealing rings glenn mentions can seal better.. I did use exh manifold 2 part paste from NAPA on one of the E-9's, it was just ok, and I had to work fast, which wasnt easy since there are several manifold pieces that have to be lined up right before tightening. You may have good luck with the paste on the E-6, I think there is a dowel that needs to be lined up.. heck try it..... jojo

from what I understand, there will be a new bar installed on thursday. I know that I have had this repair done 4 times, and all went good.. and cost effective as well.. If I dont t have to pull the A-Frame, I call Axle Surgeon.. the last one I had done a few years ago, was $1500.00 total... not sure what todays price is.. jojo

I hope he bought new saddles and ubolt sets... and the thrust washers, inner seals, jam nuts and caps... jojo

Excelent... the last one I did, I pulled the engine.. it made for a smoother, mistake free repair.. jojo

Diesel is $5+ / gallon here.. in central N.C.

i hope it still comes with it, however, parts are sh!t today... I deal with it everyday.. anyway... jojo

if this is you r first time... look for a pressure bleeder to relieve the pressure in the filter housing,, then go about your business... jojo

Heck I forget too.. isnt there a fuse panel in the storage box on the driverside? look in to the left.. jojo
