yes they do .. and even more on the heavier axles.. We used a hydraulic torque wrench. use a fork lift to hold the spring pack up-side down, and go for it.... I have used a torque multiplier a bunch of times..... Talk about ' row-row-row- your boat'... jojo

Amen Brother.. I will use PAI anytime.. Iv'e done 3 engines and had several tranny's done. they are all doing great.. jojo

hell, if you have mack build it, I bet $32,000.00 is going to be the final bill. jojo

you reckon the V.E.B.C. is failing or maybe a bad oring in it?? jojo

Yeah, I woke up.. I guess I hit my head really hard getting out from under a truck, my lights went out, and I guess I went to Shangri La while I was out... I think I'm back now... Jojo

I do not understand why there is so much hate and anger towards Mr. Trump... It seemed to me that we were on a good path, and with another term, we would have been a much more independent country, and economically 'We the people' would have more of our hard earned money, whether it was from better tax laws, or lower cost's of living, or even both for some.. I wish he had this next 4 years to get it done.. No hatred here for our current President and his people, Yes I have called him bad names and laughed at him and his crew, I just have a lot of questions, and the 'head scratching' is causing a rash on my head... I Love our Country!!! jojo

From what I understand.. Rich people and smart business people/owners.. use the tax lawss that are current for that tax year. then they are able to reduce their payout. However, the responsibilty of owning a big business huge, and at any given time a law suit or insurance claim can hurt really bad.. So to me if wealthy business owners can use the tax laws legally and save some money to pay the 'ambulance chasers' I say go for it!!! I would try to reduce my taxes any legal way possible if I could, but I cant... Oh well .... jojo

I bet he can rattle the box rubbers by hand, and i like the idea of taking the end cap off, as well as jacking up on the trunnion bar. it would be good to have a helper run the jack while you look at the end of the trunnion. I have used a company call Carolina axle surgeons... I think you can just go to the 'web' and look up axle surgeons near you, and one will pop up.. the last one I had done was a few years ago, and it was $1500.00 parts and labor. all you have to do is remove the wheels and the springs and leave stands under the frame rails. they will cut ou the old bar and weld in a new one.. Of course if the 'A frame' is rusted through, well that changes everything.. Good luck Ricky.... jojo

so true 'F'... I did a few clutches and lots of programming, but nothing internally. i have had the shift covers off a few times and saw the importance of lifting it 'Straight up' because of the tone wheels for the speed sensors... very delicate.. well, I will just watch and hopefully learn from this thread... Jojo

no need to apologize.. This what we are here for.. I wont be much help at all because I have been away from M-Drives for 4 years, and the hell of it is..... I was sent to school for M-Drive and became a 'Master Tech' at Mack, but I don't know sh!t about them... aint that funny.... jojo

hell I was sure it was a main breaker for the cab power including the ECU's.. I'm sorry but I m at a loss on that one.. I remember it being part of the repair for the 9-2 code... jojo

So I have thought about this for a while.... I think Kamala, is over her head and she KNEW it... I really think she will SNAP, and do one of 2 things.....(1) tell the truth about the lies that she knows ...... (2)... Have a 'Guilt ridden stroke' and Die.. any thought's?? jojo

you are very kind... Glenn is the Sh!t.... jojo

if you dont have a small shitty filter clipped to the compressor, it should be getting its air from the intake manifold via a copper pipe.. I hope Im right, the E-6 gets it off the manifold around the back of the engine to the compressor... dammit... i was thinkin I knew the answer... jojo

I do have book's.... Jojo

yes, I thought 4 valve, too,,,, but..... I dont have a ton of knowledge on this era.. jojo

can you look at the part number cast into the heads to see if they are the same ? just a thought. I assume 20 bolt heads... jojo

Well here in Salisbury.... they would be fueling up their 'Liquor cycle' to go buy/sell some more weed.. Jojo

Oooop's your right Onyx ... sorry.... jojo

do you have a 12 spd? thats an air filter for the tranny ..jojo

yes sir.. I'm Ok.. I have built more than 30 of these engines, and I have many 'correct' engine tools for E-6 and E-7/E-Tech.. I hope to build more engines in the near future, because new trucks are insane and a lot of guys are trying to buy older trucks. I can build an E-Tech at a reasonable price. I have to use PAI parts to keep it realistic, but they run. Ive done a few that way.. Jojo

I have a 'Love-Hate' thing going on.... Truth... When I hold the right tool in my hand.... I get relief, because I know that I can do the job professionally.. So 3K sounds like a lot, but doing it right allows me to sleep good.... 'Priceless'... jojo

I assume you have a 2 pc. intake manifold.. if not look for a blown out gasket.. i have seen more at #5+#6.. do the best you can to look under the manifold.. jojo

I currently have an E-Tech 427 in my shop. 2002 according to the tag from DEX.. I have it torn down. it's an E-Tech, cam key is offset.. no paint, so I held it like an egg till I got a paint pen to mark it. 'God forbid I put it in backwards'..... and as I was cleaning the block..... #6 counterbore shelf is pitted.... I just dropped $2800.00 on a counterbore cutter, cutter plate and extra bits..... Well there goes that paycheck, Jojo

offset cam key..... red end... retarded, low power...300 and less.. white end.... advanced high power...427+ .. jojo
