im very rusty, but I think you can look through the inspection hole and see if it has a clutch brake.. I wonder if it has a veleo clutch? when you look at the input shaft behind the throw out bearing you may see 2 lock ring's that have tab's instead of being 6 sided.. that is the adjusters.. yes to double clutching, although, every time I speak about double clutching, I get told that I'm not a driver... and then the stories about how paw paw used to drive come out,,,, at this point i loose interest... the truck you bought is a really good truck, but the parts are hard to get.. You need to brush up on youre French.... Renault is where the parts were made.. Have patience, and do not take too much apart until you do youre research on the parts kits... you may have luck from our Austrailian friends on this great website.. I wonder what "Vladislav" know's about this, he is very smart... jojo

1157 light bulb.... do you have one? also check the base of the socket to see if the pigtail pin has sunken into the socket,, check for power there. the ground should be good since the other lights work... jojo

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cool .... Welcome to the crew.. jojo

filtration is always good.. get the test strips for the coolant to be sure you are in the good zone.. no biggie, just do it to check behind a slack driver and so on.... hell i have had to fix cooling systems because a company driver put water or coolant in a jug that had any form of oil in the jug you can think of and it f'd up the system because rubber seals swelled or the coolant tank swelled,,, ie: a freightliner... coolant tank with diesel in it... stay on top of it... jojo

Oh Hell... I get it.... sorry

you are great... I posted several times about my brother-in-law's death... he died in his sleep from a stroke, but his wife was offered $9000.00 for funeral costs if she allowed, "Covid" to be on the death cert... this was 4 month's ago...

all these commies are doing is creating problems for us, so that they look like hero's when he fixes the problems that he and his Klan created... we were doing just fine with President Trump....

how about taking the last six of the v.i.n. on the truck in the picture and calling Mack to get the part or the part number.? Mack pricing may scare you, but if you have a parts guy who is friendly with you , he can give you the part number.. jojo

you are correct sir... was trying to be funny, but the reality is what you said.... I've seen the migration in a few neighborhoods i've lived in... Now i live in a town that is is full of these POS people, and i'm a racist when I say what is true... Many thanks to all the progressive lib's that created this problem...

yes sir... to me it looked abusive to the rear ends.. too much speed.... I am going to get out of this thread... jojo

the back lash alone will 'F' something up..... jojo

Damn!!!! you just said a lot of what I feel, yes the driving solo, with a mask on is crazy.. Maybe these people need to mow grass on a dry day with one of their masks on, and see how great it works on dust you can see... or maybe get some spray paint and repaint all of the patio furniture or whatever, and see how good it keeps the paint from getting up your nose.... anyway, I'm rambling now... jojo

yeah i'm not sure either. I would check the cam part #'s to see if they are different, for the different HP ratings.. I should know the answer, but I dont, or I forgot... Sorry 880Joe....

I think so, I guess I need to open my engine book and see what it says. but, yes it would be 6 degrees.. 300 and less are retarded 3 degrees, 427 and up are advanced 3 degrees, you just flip the cam key around for the setting you need, Im sure there is more info needed on this but , I can't think of it right now... Im sorry I dont have all the answers right now. jojo

I believe its 3 degrees, and you flip the key to advance or retard the engine. The key is painted on the ends. red is for the low HP engine's 300HP and lower, the White end is for HP above 400... red is retarded, white is advanced.. jojo

Glenn, Good idea. There's a lot of wind coming out the progressive lib's. would we have to convert our houses from A.C. power, to 'DC' power ?

I have an idea.... Lets use infrastructure money to plow down all of the criminal neighborhoods in Chicago, (The windy city) and build windmill farms.. we can even share the mass amount of extra electricity with Canada,,, Ehh!! With Love, Jojo

Im curious how all the electricity will be generated??? Coal?? Natural gas,?? Diesel??.... talk about a 'Carbon footprint'...jojo

ok early spinners had a different spindle than the newer ones.. there were 2 different filters for early E-techs and 2002ish E-techs.. I used too be able to spit the part #'s out... now.... not so good... 2134. and 3178 rings my bell but I forgot the prefix... dammit!!! 34 Gb or something... anyway, check the centrimax filter #... I prefer Mack or Donaldson for this filter...

the centrimax filter sounds like a commiecazie airplane fixin to hit a target,,, shut the engine off and listen to it spin down, it lasts about 30 seconds... just for kicks, open the hood so you can put youre hand on it, then shut it off and hurry out of the seat to feel the filter.. just my crazy thought... it's doable, I had to do it many times to see if the spinner was worn out, and when I held it in my hand I could feel the imbalance in the spinner, and replaced the spindle... and then it was fixed... jojo

just FYI,, the 3 units I looked at had 'single' Sheppard boxes, mounted inside the frame...

it's under warranty....... 1 year on tie rod ends and attached parts and 3-5 years on the steering box. The 3 trucks I brought in to Mack, didnt have Poppet adjustments that I could see, but when I learned they were under warranty, I put my tools away and took them to Mack..

I have to replace the spinner, it leak bad and its looks original, the injector harness is soaked, just outside the head, I unplugged the oil level sensor and it was dry, and the pins in the sensor socket had fully closed tips. I am glad you reminded me about the piston cooling jet control valve, I was hoping to unplug a sensor that has oil pressure on it, but I did not. and it was hard to tell if any of these were replaced, The harness looks original. The owner doesnt know much of the repair history. I want to repair this truck with a strong approach. I will be getting a price for the spinner on monday, so far we are at around $1700.00 in parts, harness, oil level sensor, and pan gasket.. I estimated about 10-12 hrs labor, I reminded them that its been over 3 years since I did one, I have done about 8 of them (in chassis) and a few with the engine out. (Sweet).. thanks for youre post, My whole goal is to just fix it right, my cust. is a small co. 3 trucks... jojo

I read it... If I had the Vaccine I would have tried it... you are right, we are not NUT'S... just real Americans who can see the B.S. that our Commie gov't. is doing... I don't know what it is like in Canada, I assume very similar... Man, I have so many opinion's on this but, I can't post them here...
