The 4 speed aux transmission is missing the tag, can any one id it?

Difficult to see for sure but I would say spicer 8341 not many other choices and very popular in the west coast trucks 

I am an independent not liberal or conservative I vote not for party and partisanship but for who will represent the people in my district we have a lot of issues in this area especially after hurricane Helene, only facts matter the alternative facts are just  political trash I do not know the Obama comment you talk about I have a Canadian friend now American citizen who came here to go to vietnam as an american army soldier after 4 years in vietnam he moved to the Air force and finished his career as a Cost guard rescue diver it is sad to see what is going on in this administration and the insult to our Canadian allies

we dont even need canada,,,,we were doing just fine before outsourcing started and remember all the draft dodgers are now calling the shots up there...bob

The biggest draft dodger is once again the commander in chief four deferments for continued education and finally the fifth, bone spurs really?  The military finally just gave up on him it's a sad story

Nice truck ,Your spoke hubs are a Mack thing not only stronger than budd rims but they also let more air flow around the brake drum which is very important, to change them out you would halve to locate some hubs that fit your spindle look for the axle number and check bearing numbers to make sure the hubs will fit there are a lot of variations out there changing out the front axle is also difficult with spring center spacing and steering knuckle offset for the drag link to the pittman arm

WTF ? 118. Dollars for 2 wheel seals thanks corporate America 

Because facts are facts and alternative facts are bullscrit liberal or conservative facts are reality the rest is garbage 

My 865 has the odd square flange and takes a special clamp and flange pipe double check this and post part numbers if you can for replacement parts mine are missing thanks

That is not an 864 but ether an early 865 or 866 with rounded valve covers and single turbo.

The 864's had issues and were replaced by the owners with the later V8 or converted to 6 cylinders.

The B-755 I have has an 866 V8 in it now.

 

 

Thanks for that picture I can see more clearly things I need to fabricate 

My 864 and transmission were missing as well as the front engine mount cross member just got started on this project fabricating everything to get the 865 in there it’s been difficult but it’s getting there 

Just wait it’s coming 

Excellent I hope everything comes together and looks great 

Make sure all air tanks are drained I have found some so full of oil and water nothing would work also some air tanks are divided vertically so both ends need drained

I have seen a Dynatard removed and replaced with a Jake brake on a four valve engine I did not do that job so I don't know the details.

That looks like all of the 335 cumins I worked on never seen one with a aftercooler that was the 350 small cam and later

That's a 7000.   The 5000 was a whole different animal.

I found a 5000 and never thought about it but it is interesting the cab is all fiberglass just got it for the 220 Cummins parts 

This flywheel housing measures 5 7/8 for over all depth and the triplex here the bell housing measures about 8 1/4 also the input shaft protrusion is 3 and 1/2 inches beyond the bell housing you can also see how far the flywheel is protruding
