    It should be possible I was successful in blocking off the egr on a Detroit 60 series it had a coolant leak internal it was being sucked into the intake and being burned creating a similar problem I did have to buy a modified barometric pressure sensor to make the ecm work

    Yes that is a difficult question but the most common would be the DM 600 series there were over a dozen different numbered models steel hood for some fiberglass for others the DM 800 had even more numbered models but all with steel hoods same with the later RD 800 I have seen pictures of R models from Australia that had an optional steel hood also

    I grew up on the west coast saw almost every truck you could see from the 60s on up on the roads and highways but never a Brockway only after moving to North Carolina I saw them in the 90s

    Usually your front tire will tell you if it is wearing oddly with lumps forming on it, jack up that wheel and check it out also check your king pins a loose bearing and worn king pin can cause that noise the heat may be an indicator also but if one brake is slightly tighter than the other that would make a little more heat on one side also

    Check the tag on the carrier where you find the ratio you should see a CRD 92 and CRD 93 there are other series of carriers those CRD numbers have to match also the axle spline there is a difference between early and late 17 spline deep v cut and shallow cut input shafts and yoke as well as torque arms may differ there are a few things to match up but is generally doable

    thanks for the pics of the headliner and rear panel I found a new headliner complete but different from what came out my cab being 65 it has no corner vents but a roof vent like R mod cabs uses the same seal so it helps a lot to see how the pieces go together did your source for the glove box liner save the pattern ? I need to find that as well

    The 864 is long gone as well as the original trans I will measure the input shaft on the triplex for length but I still have plenty of time for that I also need to do a little sheet metal work and convert the windshield seal to the older frame type for the L cab will the E-9 power steering pump work as well as the drive gears and compressor
  13. D-Day
    No power steering pump on the engine either just a block off plate I was hoping to use a triplex trtl 722 that came with a b73 I have but not sure what I will have to do there
  14. D-Day
    That sure is a great B755 I have the L cab and its awaiting space in the shop for restoration still gathering missing pieces I found a running 865 maybe 866 but can't get to the numbers just yet to see the air compressor is missing and I also need to figure out power steering mine has a factory shepherd power steering box I was told the air compressor may be different depending on what year and engine number

    I had a similar problem with a 350 in a superliner always had to crank it a long time after sitting for a couple of days finally found a tiny crack in the fuel filter head where the fitting for the line to the pump screwed in gravity was allowing the fuel to return to the tank and partially emptying the filter

    great score I'm glad you were lucky and proud to share it with the rest of who are still hunting for such things

    extravance timing dam spell check
  18. D-Day
    and if it has the extravagance timing device the procedure for disassembly and assembly is different
  19. D-Day
    difficult question depending on what year your talking about but what I have found in the past was you start with the basic 46000lb suspension and as it goes up you find taller spring packs deeper spring insulator box with bigger pads heavier trunion stand larger driveline with larger u-joints even larger fabricated rear end housings or ductile iron housings also a difference in torque arms

    important to check your toe in we always set it at 1/8 of an inch also worn king pins and a worn drag link will cause you this kind of trouble as well as any combination of wear in these as well as tie rod ends
  21. D-Day
    depends on what aux transmission you have most did not increase top speed as much as give you more lower gears for pulling

    just found a posting on you tube from 5 months ago Mack END 864 injection pump from jobbers inc. Philadelphia Pa. they have 2 rebuilt pumps that are ready to go a PSM and a PSJ there may be someone there that knows what your trouble is
  23. D-Day
