The tag on the starter should say what voltage it is unless its been removed Put 24 volt and see it works, it would sound like its running unusually fast if its too much voltage for it.

Yep L2 gleaner with the corn and soybean special package. Grandpa was running it when the main shaft (3in diameter) snapped and sent parts flying. A 95 year old member of my church was technically in ww2. He was in training when they dropped the bomb and went over there to clean up afterwords. He's likely to be the last WW2 yet Ill know but at least I'll be able to tell my grandkids I knew one

It amazes me how much events that happen to you as a baby affect you as an adult, even when you can't remember them

Mack T2090 9 Speed Transmission Questions
BOBWhite replied to BOBWhite's question in Mack Truck Q & A
1985 so it's the same pattern as an eaton 9 speed. But would it be better for the transmission to shift it like the new pattern or should I stick with the old one? Hope that makes more sense, Thanks Edit: Oops Its not the same as the eaton 9 speed, the 3,4 and 7,8 are switched on the mack
-
Might be a dumb question but there are two different shift patterns for the Mack 9 speed, did they change anything mechanically when they changed this? Ive driven the old pattern of 9 speed but should I be shifting it in the new pattern? If you can change how you shift in the pattern then what the difference between a 10 speed and a 9 speed? Its probably all in the high low shift box but what's is best for this transmission? Thanks

The C9's are good but its the C9S that are junk. They rushed into the new emission's with common rail and variable geometry turbo which caused a the whole thing to be unreliable. In addition they're also very hard and odd to work on, they have a gear driven air compressor that has to be timed for some reason.
-
Ever heard of the Cat C9S? That is the worst cat engine ever made, last one's were made a decade ago and already you don't see them anymore. The non turbo 3208's make great boat anchors but the Turbocharged and after cooled one's are pretty snazzy for there day. Have one in a 1987 Wanderlodge that starts and runs better than any old cummins.

Thats what happens with most acquisitions. They buy when times are good and leave the company to do its business, but as soon as time's get rocky funding gets pulled and companies shut down. All part of cut throat business practices Did I hear you right? I did't know you could get a Rolls-Royce that late In the game. Ive seen one International truck with one from the 50s but that was it.

Its the "Pollution Control"

Man every 30 minutes?! I bet you're getting horrid fuel economy but it could be the engines fault in that its pouring in too much fuel and thus creating more black smoke (soot) but I'd think this would have thrown a code if an injectors bad or something. Best of luck

Those pain meds are something gnarly, My brother took them after his knee surgery and it messed him up permanently, He's a different person personality and all. And I think it's obvious we have better options but these pills help to control a society, keep us under their thumb. Never smoked pot but have been around it... smells like skunk a$$ to me but I guess people like it.

Update: So I went back and looked again and it looks like most if not all of the articles were done by Barry at the beginning, so if you want B model stuff ask him and see if he still has it. Also this sight goes back way farther than I would have guessed, This is it in 2002!

Yeah Ive tried contacting several people but to no avail, also tried the way back machine but the links were dead there too -
They seem to not come up for sale that often and the auctions can be a bit hard to find so this here's the best place to look for one. Let us know if you find one, they're my favorite of all the Mack trucks!

Those stack's on there make that thing look mean! What all do you haul now?

Questions about a Mack Ch613
BOBWhite replied to BOBWhite's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Does the econovance ever have much problems to the point it won't run? I think I've heard of the wiring to them going bad but I've never heard of one mechanically busting. Anyone know what kinda fuel economy I could get? Its a daycab so I'd think it would be pretty good. -
How many miles is the route? Check and see if there's much black smoke, you could be over fueling but I doubt that would make a 17 gallon difference. Park it in a parking lot or find some cement to see if you have any leaks. Good luck

The wiki section is messed up for me too. All dead links it seems -
Shame its a single axle but looks like a clean truck! Is that shift knob for a 9 speed? It looks like its a 12 or more speed knob and with the amount of lines going to it.

Questions about a Mack Ch613
BOBWhite replied to BOBWhite's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
What Year did they go to all electronic E7? The one Im looking at has the Inline pump -
Been seeing a Mack ch613 parked by my house for the last couple of months now and Im wondering if I should go ask about it. It's a 1996 with a 13 speed Mack transmission not sure on miles or any of that. With the price of fuel a more fuel efficient truck would be nice, but not sure if that would balance out the $1000 a year for tag that we don't have to pay with our other truck. What price should it be worth? What are some things I should look for? Ive never owned an E7 before so what do I need to know? Thanks!

Its a great motor but Ive heard bad things about the later ones with the 6 individual injection pumps (forgot what that was called) I don't know much about the newer ones but the old ones were great motors. A rebuild at only half a million is kinda odd but depending on what it did before that could be normal. The big problem with Macks is that the parts price, and service Is almost as bad as Cat these days, especially since Volvo took over so keep that in mind.
-
Yeah for me if it doest have blow-by and it has good oil pressure leave it alone. In my unprofessional opinion bearings don't need to be replaced unless it's knocking. Ive seen bearings come out of million mile motors look new so as long as you use good oil and filters I say keep running em
