    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?

    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.

    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

    Right now it pays more to be on welfare and WIC than working 14+ hours a day for $10 an hour. Have enough kids and the government will take care of the rest of it, raise them up to be good lazy communists and repeat the cycle to ruin a nation. Times are about to get tougher
  17. BOBWhite
    Wouldn't it be cheeper in the long run to do the whole engine at once than just the bottom end? Most in-frame kits come bearings, liners, pistons, and all so why not just get a whole new engine while you still can

    Went and saw the old Mack today. Uncle did a real good job of vacuuming all the mouse nests out of it and repaired a lot on it. Be nice to have it now with fuel being $5 a gallon and all. She looks rough but at least she's being used.

    $2,300 is too much for a bargain for me. Its worth it but I don't need it.
  20. BOBWhite
    True but our semi with the cat 1693 gets about that on a good day and only has 300 horse power. And now that fuels so expensive Ive polished everything up and parked it so even if I can't drive it I can still look at it.
  21. BOBWhite
    Yeah $70,000 sounded like a lot then but now it'd be a bargain!

    You must get rain there if you have those fat tires on your sprayer there, ours and all the other one's around here have the skinny and tall tires. Nice stainless steel tank too, so much better than the plastic crap ones. How much weight you hauling when everything full and loaded?

    This guy in my town does a bob white quail call every time he see's me so that's what I named everything online
