Here are 6 more pics of my Old Truck,  The sun was very bright! I tried to get as much detail as possible. She runs... I really like the intermittent wipers...🤣 

I was thinking that too about the gearing, It may have around a 4:18 or 5:11 rear gear if I looked it up correctly... I may just lift a wheel off the ground, mark it at 12o'clock, then slowly turn it and start counting.  It'l  probably just be a cool grocery getter... I should be driving it this spring, and yes it will be fun.  Jojo

Thanks guy's.. I'm not sure what to put on her back.... It's a toy, not a work truck.. Probably just use it to buy groceries...😁  really I thought about a small camper,  Heck,,, I don't know...  Throw some ideas at me. Of course a nice rack body would be cool.. Jojo

Thanks again,,Jojo

How do I find out if she's Canadian? I assume with the vin? I haven' t looked yet... I would also like to find a forum on Internationals... I had a '73 scout back in the late 80's. It was my "woods buggy" up in Maine... Thanks guys. Jojo

Thank you..  The inside is just as nice...I'm still learning the proper forums to do that and chat about it too... Jojo

she's a work in progress.... The tires are all new. (The glass and seals are in storage), the grille trim is in the cab in a box... but otherwise, she's all there.. I just got it in Oct. and have been too busy to do anything yet.  I'm proud to have her.  I will get some interior pics and engine pics. She's a time capsule from 1948.. Thanks for youre interest, Jojo

I've been to bunch of big truck shows as a spectator, But 2021 should be better, If I can get my 1948 KB7 together, I'm going to try to attend shows with my own truck, for the first time... Merry Christmas and Happy new year!!!  Jojo

Merry RamaHanukKwanzamas everyone!!!  I'm looking for one of these dust shields or even the part number. Thanks, Jojo

Hey there, Good call. I posted on the 10th about this, as well.. Check it out.. Jojo

I also did a valve adjustment...  It sure was nice to be able to work on that engine, 360 degrees......In the future, I will probably not try to answer questions about MP engines , unless I'm sure of what I'm typing... Thanks again for chiming in.. Jojo

Thank you chiming in... It's been 2+ years since I did a rear gear train repair, and it was on an MP-7. I pulled the engine at the time beacause the cust. wanted rod and main bearings and an engine harness. The chassis was a GU-813 with an allison... anyway thanks again. Jojo

i guess you need to use a dial indicator on no. 1. roll it up to find T.D.C... i cant remember if the dowel on the rear crank hub is a reference point.... ask Vmac3, or FJH.  on this forum.. Jojo

it's on the front of the cam shaft

I don't think so. Have you called a Mack dealer with the last "6" of the V.I.N.?  just have them look up the springs.... then take the free info, "And run"!... then get what you need at a real shop... Mabey Watts Mack can help you.... They may be one of very few who really care about Macks... Jojo

Hey there, I was raised in East Islip,   Just curious were you are... We moved out in 1981....anyway,  just thinkin about the old days.... Jojo. Merry Christmas!

"L"    I know what you are saying about "Sleepy"  In some case's I changed the "governor" setting from Min-Max.... to" All speed" and it would perk it up some, However< you are at the mercy of the E.C.M...... I drove 427"s and 400's.. 13 spd. and 18 spd.  puling over loaded dump trailers... The 400 with 18 spd, (Didn't know the rear gears at that time). did a heck of a lot better, country road hills, mabey, drop 1 gear then split down 1 time was enough to pull the hill and not be a rolling road block. I was a young driver back then, 1999,, But that was my experience, I came out of a 79 R model, 350/ 9speed.. and nothing else... well, it had power steering...  Jojo..

Hayseed?? I love the Quote on you're page.. I've been quoting it in my head so i can use it.... Jojo

holy crap..... i didnt even look.. it came up in my page as "new"  so to speak...THANKS Hayseed....

paint the splitter grey so onlookers wont get confused..... Just pokin fun,,Jojo

So true, It's a 2018 tranny, change the knob or cut the gate out of it...

Just a thought.. is there a 6-5 code??? I think thats throttle pedal, wasnt there a re-set procedure in V-Mac soft , where you had to press the pedal three times to calibrate it? sometimes I had to do it a few times before it took.. yes I did this when re-programming a new E.C.M., just curious...
