  1. I will see the truck again on Tuesday. I will take a pic of the data plate..
  2. so it's a 9 speed and not a 310 or 310m tranny? I'm just curious... and the tranny is a Mack?
  3. you say its an E Mack... Please teach me about what I drove... to me It was awesome..Jojo
  4. I adjusted the air in my toy truck also, for the same reason.. I just put air in until the center of the tire started to get round, but not narrow. I ended up at 45 PSI, for my tires.. 80 is max, for my 9.00 20's..
  5. thank you Vlad... I look forward to the next 2 shows in our area in the next 4 months... Jojo
  6. I also had the priviledge of meeting GADave... He was cool and very, much dedicated to his craft... If he ever writes a book, I will read it...Jojo
  7. I have had a helper to press the clutch fast and hard for me, while I had a piece of flat stock, or a large screwdriver put in place opposite the button, so that the throwout bearing doesnt just move at an angle relieving the pressure to push the button in..... I still dont like these clutch brakes. I prefer the 2 piece aluminum type with the 2 skinny allen headed screws. and the hole is way to small, as you say... jojo
  8. yep, it was an honor. It took an hour to get to and from the show. top speed... 50 MPH... all six of us in a kickbutt convoy... Jojo
  9. They packed us in pretty tight. Here's a few more pics. shortly after taking these pics, there were dozens of kids climbing all over these trucks, you wouldnt have been able to see the trucks... Joey mack
  10. My friend had 6 trucks at the show I will post more pics...
  11. Hell.... You'd be better off riding an old Mack, than any modern diesel pick/up... to hell with the mileage differnce, the Mack wont "Lay-Down" like the computer trucks.. heck, you may get 7-8 MPG, but who cares??? I have a '48 International K-B 7, (gasser),,and I'm just going to go get groceries and 2x4's with it and it's all good.... I hope i'm nut's too...😉.. Jojo
  12. I had the honor of driving this very rare 52 Mack to our local show....
  13. I had the great pleasure of driving a 1952 B-Model that is very rare ,to our local transportation museum. The truck I drove is one of 5 made by Mack and only 2 exist.... 23 years working on Mack's and Proud to do so... I had the Honor to do this today. I was also able to share this with my beautiful wife as well.... What a great day...
  14. what was done at the shop? why did you bring this to the shop....?
  15. thanks Glenn....
  16. they are crude, but totaly worked. I cut my own gaskets to do the test and these caps did not blow bubbles during the test...
  17. Bundle type oil cooler o-rings are still availlable... may i suggest pulling the oil filter pad and resealing it as well. you are already there. ... also you can make 2 simple little blocking plates to pressure test the oil cooler.. I did this a few years ago. I used 1/4" aluminum flat stock... I made 2 caps. In one of them I tapped 1/4 npt threads and installed an air compressor nipple.... The test is done at 80 P.S.I. in a tub of water. I did this on an E-6 2 valve that I am building. In my case, My oil cooler was good... Jojo
  18. Oh My God!!!!
  19. Thanks again Glenn... I also know the E-7 is 728 C.I.D., but these are the engines I have the most experience in... Not a genius.... Just know how to fix 'em.... Jojo.. These threads are a good tool for me, because of all of you guys that own them and have run them for years.... This is not my thread, but, I absorb the teachings... Thank's.. Joey
  20. I have recently been trying to figure some of this out as well. I have a 1960'ish ENDT 673 (E-6) in my shop now and had 2 other END (non-turbo) 673's over the last 2 years. I knew them to be called E-6's.. "E-6 2 valve" They were all 672 C.I.D.'s... I didn't think the engine number was the same as the displacement, because I didn't believe that with each series, they would build a new engine that was one cubic inch bigger, ( the 673), or 4 more cubic inches, (the 676)... I hope to learn more about this on this thread. Jojo
  21. was there even a threaded hole for the sensor? wasn't a non v-mac tach driven by the injection pump?? i'm forgetting more and more as time goes on,🙃... I need more E-7's in my life. Joey.....
  22. Another Question,,, are they Wedge brakes? Maybe post a picture of the brake chamber. no biggie, just curious.. jojo
  23. look at part no. 4515Q,,, Rears... Try 3402 for the front... the dealership will use the last six of the v.i.n. to tell you..
  24. Good Call... I do have a hard time watching the other, because I Have My opinions and a Bias... I will stick with my beliefs, and use as much of a realistic thought process as I can... There is more to the story about our open southern border. This new president has got me baffled, because there were some good policies for our country, and job's/careers, low cost of living, etc. and now we are giving it to aliens, that Probably didn't have it that bad... Yes there are atrocities in those countries,,, we have them here in the U.S. but WE don't matter to The Biden Govt.. Jojo
