Ok guys,  I just did it and it worked, but....   it removes my info, so a future 'poster' wont be able to look back and see the info I posted... that sucks..  but I will go ahead and continue cleaning ,,, jojo

thanks Snowdog,,  i will try that later..  jojo

I was trying to find a top rotator for an E-Tech head..  Mack was not able to find one for me, kept going to the bottom rotator set-up for some reason...  I found a part number....  722GC226...  I need 2 of these, but didnt want to buy from E-Bay until I know this is the right part..  I cant post any pics because i have met my quota and am not able to clean the folder,,, sorry,,, jojo

laptop,  all i have ...  I dont even see a trash can icon to delete the pics...

Bob,  I have tried several ways and cannot delete any pics..  Im sorry ,, I dont know what im doing wrong... jojo

thanks onyx, I started a topic about my attachments, I will stop posting on this in this thread now,,,  jojo

Hello,  I have reached my quota for attachments.  I want to clear it out and start over. I post a lot of pics to help answer questions, and now I can not do it anymore.. I hope there is a way to re-set it..  Thanks, Jojo

i think you are right..  jojo

the e-7 is a different set up. I believe the bolt hole are a different size, the jacobs 690 heads, have a larger hole and the bolts are shoulderd to fit in the hole, and they are metric thread, and the adjuster on the e-6 uses a fork to set jake lash based on turbo type,  the e-7 uses a .015 feeler gauge,  or .017, or .021  depending on the updates that were done to the jake heads,,  and I think there is only 3 bolts holding the e-6 engine brake head down, where the e-7 uses 6......  I'm curious.... Jojo

Onyx, I'm glad you were able to post that.. I have a hard time posting pics lately,, jojo

 tried again to post pics of the specs..  cant get it done..  sorry...   jojo

my guess is you have a V-Mac III truck..  I have seen you post here before..  My suggestion is to buy,  (V-MacIII Book # 8-211) ...   it is a wealth of info..  jojo

do you have the coolant resvoir that is up on the stantion?  if so, its good,,  you can get one of those low cost funnels for filling radiators and it attaches to the tank like the cap, then you can fill the coolant up into the funnel, and run the engine and watch for bubbles in the coolant that is in the funnel..  

This is the system I am familiar with, and Premium Tech Tool..  I have used Nexiq, but never really liked it as much and at times I sucked at it...  The Vocomm 88890300 has worked very well..  I do not own this system, but if you have a fleet or just want to get the best you can get without having dealership authority, I beleive this is it..  I hope we see more opinions, especially from the guys that are still at dealerships... jojo

thanks for the update,  Definately, fix what you know is broke first... jojo

My first advice is to post pics of it so we all see what you have/ find any shop manuals you can find/ (i just bought 3 Midliner book's, from E-Bay recently)/ here's a big one..... find someone who is familiar with Midliners!!/ next, do youre research on parts vendors/  most of what I have done came from France/ they are very good trucks, and in my opinion deserve respect, but it is hard to get a team of players together to keep it in good repair.. Good luck, and keep in touch... jojo

did you remove the radiator?  I have only done a few, but they were out of the truck, yes I had to remove a bunch of stuff including the front mounted PTO, but when it was done I didnt have to re-do the workand I was able to check condition and to see if it was straight, and then of course the prep work is the most important step..  I have no magic words,  just that...  jojo

So true, Mark !!

I dont know, Mark,,,,,  something had to 'suck' the air of the old guy in the picture, just sayin...  

Obama and Nancy P have been running this country since Biden was appointed....  

what specifically do you need to see??  it is bacially an 'R' model cab arrangement.  jojo

the clutch is operated by an air bag, the range of motion is measured by a sensor for the acuator .. to see it on the PTT screen t almost makes sence..  I have forgotten many of the fine points since ive been away from it for 4 years..  to me the bigger issue is the delete...  these ECU's are very smart..   jojo
