  2. yeah i just want a little puff when im working. because right now its all the way down and nothin comes out
  3. hey guys i have a 350 big cam cummins with a cummins pt fuel system. i was wondering how to turn the pump up so i can have more fuel going to the engine.thanks
  4. yeah right,i started laughing when i saw the brand
  5. heys guys does anyone know where i can get turbo seals for a endt675 mack. the engine has a garrett turbo.i tried looking on the internet and i couldn't find anything,all they want is for me to buy a whole turbo. and i really just want to put the seals in and fix it myself for educational purposes.
  6. hey guys ive seen this truck on the forum here but i just watched this youtube video and i have to say this truck is beautiful i never new how detailed this truck was the inside is clean. whoever owns this truck gets a pat on the back.good job
  7. well we got the mack goin and and it ran fine the only thing the turbo had a bad seal so once it ran good oil started shootin out of the exhaust. my teacher has a spare seal and he put it on for me in the afternoon class so tommorow morning were gonna fire it up again i'll take the video
  8. its the best of both worlds i love trains and trucks
  9. yea vinny we have one mack engine, two cats, four detroits ,and two cummins one of them is a 2007.all the old engines have been there for 25 years so theve been raped like crazy(missing parts,stripped nuts,etc).It took a lot of work to get that mack going every bolt that was missing i had to make.my teacher told me that im the first student in 6 years to get that mack to fire.I remember the first day i went in there I set a goal for myself to get that mack to run.
  10. yes i do its "vanhalendlrera"
  11. congrats olive i wish you and your family the best of luck
  12. were starting it up tuesday i'll try to get a video of it starting for you guys.
  13. thanks for the comment, but i figured out the problem. my diesel instructor was pushing the rack the wrong way to shut the engine off/put into low idle
  14. hey guys in my vocational diesel class i took apart and reassembled a mack 675. everything went together fine. the problem im having is that everytime we go to start it, it just keeps trying to run away once it fires.i took the injector pump off and reconditioned it(took it apart and inspected it,and freed it up and cleaned it).all the injectors were pop tested and work fine.I think that its running away on uncontrolled fuel because once it fires it just pours black smoke out of the exhaust. And we also timed the engine. Im hoping that somebody on this forum could help me diagnose the problem. Thanks, Garrett
  15. thank you guys for the help guys im probably gonna buy them from grote
  16. thank you 220 cummins next time i will use mineral spirits
  17. i will do that sir, thanks for the help. also did i use the right thinner. on the back of the rustoleum can it said to use acetone thinner.was that right or should i use something else, and if so, what should i use
  18. ok thanks for the info guys. im probably gonna do what rob said "1000 grit and use an acrylic enamel clearcoat over the existing paint."
  19. the paint i used was rustoleum hunter green
  20. thank you guys for the concern, i didn't know that rob. what if I repaint the truck with another coat of green and then clear coat it
