B-73 Restoration
D-Day replied to mattb73lt's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I ordered a new core for my B 755 project a couple months ago thought I had better do it before the price gets to high it came in at just over 800 dollars got a price for a Peterbilt 359 core recently and it was about 750 dollars more than the one we got 2 years ago -
how long has the radiator been in there they do get choked up with deposits over time

I switched to the Milwaukee hand held band saw years ago just more user friendly but takes a little practice to get accurate cuts

1979 Superliner w/ ENDT676 Maxidyne 300 losing prime
D-Day replied to Truckie Harbison's topic in Engine and Transmission
I second that, I have seen to many people spray to much ether in an engine to get it started usually in cold weather, and afterwards it needs ether to start it even though its not very cold when I tear down to rebuild ill find broken rings the smaller the pistons the smaller the rings they wont handle it as well as a large bore with bigger piston rings we have 2 pieces of equipment down right now that had a lot of hours on them one with a cat 3056 and the other with a cat 3126 both were ether addicts when the cold weather came -
I have overhauled several and we still have a couple of them in use hate to see good parts go to waste

.2 v is not much of a drop the inside of the ignition switch does wear out but seems more like a ground issue from the instrument panel back to the frame or cab ground to battery ground

It looks great thanks for the pics what did you do with the seam on the back of the cab just above the rear window that normally has a piece of aluminum trim over it ? -
Mack mp8 squeaky noise from engine
D-Day replied to Rsc1717's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Charge air cooler is built like a radiator with tubes out of aluminum its common for them to split a tube especially on the side by the radiator dropping boost and making whistling noise easier to find when you remove the cooler and look for dark stained areas or pressure test -

We had trouble with the 2000 CH 613 E7 460 same problem shutting down until it got worse and was difficult to get started again I had to replace the engine wiring harness and both oil pressure sensors after checking the 2 big connections at the ECM there was oil there it was being pushed through the wiring harness until it started shutting down injectors

A friend from Virginia stopped by for a visit on a journey from home to Texas and back that's a lot of miles for a 36 ford original flathead V8 ran great no problems except for the crap gas messing with the carburetor at least it has no ECM or sensors to shut you down it's a great car

Picture for Onyx still have not made any video maybe someday finally got a pic of one of the yarders I use here to load doesn't always work for some reason maybe when it dries out I can get it set up again and try video

It can be welded I have done several aluminum frame repairs its important to preheat the area, and we always had an insert made from steel so it fit snug like a double frame best to do both rails and spread the stress out its a lot of work and if it has a crack now it can keep growing best to stop it early I have seen fish plates added to the outside usually the crack will return through the plate
-
Thanks for all the transmission info everyone it's amazing all of the knowledge that is out there and this is the best place to tap in
-
I'll be passing by early in may and can pick them up if that works
-
I have a use for those if you don't go to the gun store and get one

If the leak continues use a small mirror to look very closely at the surface where the filter seals check for cracks in the aluminum it happens and is sometimes hard to see
