MACK MAN

I'm needing a good local truck,run 50 miles loaded,gross 85,000 to 91,000 lbs one way,go back empty do this 3 times a day.My 1985 E-9 does a great job,but I need a second truck.Owner of the 1998 is not sure of the miles,but the truck looks real good.Anyway how are the 1998 E-7 427s,are they a problem engine,not knowing the miles I will do rods and mains no mater what.

Has anyone ever had any dealings with MNL truck sales in Gulfport MS?I am looking at 2 Macks down there,I have never delt with theses guys before.

Al

120,000 plus 12% FET and 8.5 sales tax and $950.00 to the auction house, $145,550 out the door.

Al

Just left the auction, more than I could bid

I called Richie Brothers,the reason on the FET,truck is sold on a MSO,not a title,the FET will be do the day of the sale

Looking at a 2004 with a 460,was 2004 a problem year?THe truck will be used as a local truck running about 350 miles a day,grossing 91,000 lbs.For some reason I thought that 2004 was a problem engine,I might be wrong.

i am need a good local truck,runs about 350 miles a day,loaded one way 50 miles back empty and do it again.When its loaded it need to haul a single coil gross weight about 90,000lbs.Using my 1985 Superliner E 9 500 V 8,would like to find a Superliner without a V 8,just getting hard to find parts and very expensive to work on.

Thanks AL

Looking at some 1999 RD 688 tractors,they have the CRD 200's in them ,the dealership is making a big deal that they have CRD 200 in them,what is the real difference?Are they that much better?

I need to change the ratio from a 4.73 to 4.17, the rears are 44,000lbs rears.Trying to keep the cost down,2dealers tell me I need to buy remain drop ins about $4,800.00.But a few other shops tell me I can just change the ring & pinion and the bull gear and save about $4,000? Anybody run up against this?

Al

I would like to test drive it ,problem is the truck is 900 miles from me,I hate to go that far super nice truck could really use it.Let me see what else I can find out there

Looking at a RD 688,1999 460MACK,fuller 8LL 11:24.5 tall rubber the guy tells me the rear end ratio is a 4.73? I'm thinking it's a 4.78 Mack rear.My Eaton road speed calculator tells me at 1600 rpm the truck will be running 58mph.The guy tells me it runs 70mph 1700rpm.I need a local truck but it need to run at least 68mph in the sweet spot.

Looking at a 1999 RD 688S it has a 460 in it,what was the first year for the 460?.Was 1999 a good year or was it a problem engine?

I have a customer that wants a 1974 White Frighliner must have a 86" ,looking for one in decent shape to mint condition,they will pay big money for the truck. Also toccitrucking@Yahoo.com

Found out that on the wiper motors on my military truck always have air going to them.I found a new motor and air valve on ebay for 100.00 it will be here next week

One reason I think air is always going to the wiper motor is,the one motor that is not leaking air when the truck sits and losses air it's wiper arm hangs down.Than after I start the truck and it gets up to 70lbs or so the wiper goes to the top of the windshield and stays there.

I'dI have air wipers on military truck,it has two motors and one air valve.I have a air leak at one of the motors,I believe it is leaking from the vent on the motor.I had a new air valve so I replaced the air valve,it still leaks.My question is does the motor always have air going to it to keep pressure on the wiper when it is in the parked position.I hate to spend 400.00 on a new motor it's it not that.

I was in Great Bend KS last week to pick up a new stepdeck,I stop and looked at the R model.I thought after looking at it ,nice truck for $ 6,000.00.The interior was ok,I liked the shag carpet for the sleeper boot was real nice.Need I say anymore

AL

The one we have in the shop is a 1985 440 they have 14 gals in it 56 qts and its not showing on the stick? I thought Mack also used a 64qt oil pan at one time?

Can anybody tell me what the oil caoacity of a E 9 V 8 is? did'nt Mack use two different oil pans?

I have a 1985 Superliner 44O HP E-9 the truck runs local hauling one way 90,000lbs gross if I disconect the puff eliminator,will this cause me any problems? I can live with the smoke and am the only one who drives the truck.

Thanks AL
