    https://www.bigiron.com/Lots/CaterpillarEngineServiceManuals I might regret posting this but if these go cheep I might have struck gold! Anyone know how much these are when they were new? Thanks

    Auction closed $14,250 (NC).

    They're not bad I just don't understand why you'd want to split the low gears if you're ever going to go on the highway with hills.
  4. BOBWhite
    Update: $12,000 with 4 days to go. A lot less than I'd thought it'd be but maybe there all watching and waiting. And of course the lucky ones down under can still go and pick one up brand new

    Doesn't the air compressor give trouble too?

    Are you looking for a 5 speed manual or automatic? finding a manual transmission clutch and flywheel for these engines in North America might be costly.

    wow that's a lot of info! Thats time and money well invested in my opinion! And I know that $40 isn't that bad when your considering that it might take 10 grand in parts to restore it, but I just really like reading these manuals and it sucks that the BMT wiki links are mostly broken (I blame Volvo). from what I remember the truck still had its manual but the mice made it into a biohazard. that's why I wish this worked.

    You could try bigiron or one of those other auction sights if you want to gamble. Restored truck can bring a lot of money sometimes on that sight but often time's the Peterbuilts are the only ones that get attention. Good luck

    thanks man I checked them out but $40 for my engine manuals a bit much for me. I mean if I used it everyday it would be invaluable but I'm a novice so I won't use it that much. Im mainly looking out for downloadable pdf's that are cheep or free.

    Im collecting digital literature on Mack Mh's and I was wondering if anyone has an owner/operators manual for one. I saw there was one on this wiki once but I think Volvo put a stop to that. Also any brochures for them are really cool to look at if anyone has any. Thanks!

    Mack 12 speed with that engine and Mack rear ends is arguably the best combination in any truck by any manufacture at least I think so. Send in some pics if you have time. and let me know if you want to sell it!

    That shifting rod can get out of adjustment and make it so you can't shift into any gear. Check and see if its loose or try and put it in gear from down at the transmission.

    You're Going to kick yourself for getting rid of it, I know I did. That truck and that motor is worth the trouble trust me, once your hauling and you realize that you can out run any truck on the road you'll know what I mean. And Picture's too. I want to see it!
  14. BOBWhite
    I love that motor they're just not economical anymore. The parts are painted gold for a reason and more importantly there's no one who knows how to work on them. Especially with the over head cam valve adjustment. And the fuel milage is something terrible too, like 3 or 4.

    Loadstar's hauled a lot of grain in this country back in their day. Farmers did't have semi's so army's of 500 bushel grain trucks ruled the road.
  16. BOBWhite
    Yeah Im sure there's going to be something else but looking at both transmissions side by side they look like they have the same 11 bolt pattern. And there's probably nothing wrong with my 9 speed the shift linkage probably just needs adjusted. Oh and I wish this was my interior! I ripped this straight out of the catalog
  17. BOBWhite
    Easily $10,000 or more for a good running motor, and even a parts engine's worth a good bit especially if it has the inline 8 pump on it
  18. BOBWhite
    Another question I had: What did the shifter look like in the 18 speed Mh cabovers? More specifically where did the Hi-Lo selector move too? Thanks This is what ours looked like and I don't see a good place to put the splitter if I swap an 18 speed In it.

    Its not a Mack but you don't see many like this anymore. Its a farm truck so It doesn't get much attention but it always starts when we need it too, and it's the truck I first cut my teeth on. I think it's the last year for the 1693 engine too. Anyone remember when these were new?
  21. BOBWhite
    The lash on those jakes is crucial. But I'm not Sure what they were using in 2003. I thought it was the power leash but they could have still been using dynatard. Someone around here will know!

    What made mack suspension worse than any other brands? And also at the time of posting it's already at $9,300. Not much hope of it staying under $15,000.
  23. BOBWhite
    My favorite part about the western models in the interior, specifically the bulldog with the cowboy hat might just be the coolest symbol on any truck! Also after reading some of the literature on these I have to ask why the early E9 have twin turbos? A buddy north of me has a superliner with the E9 (which I envy) and it only has one turbo. When did they switch? thanks
  24. BOBWhite
    If it were any other engine it would be $10,000 or less in the condition its in. A good investment for trucks sake.
  25. BOBWhite
    Any updates on this? Im planing on doing the same to a 1985 Mack Mh with the e6 motor and was thinking of swapping in a 2180. Im a fan of an all Mack driveline myself but I learned to drive on an Eaton 13 speed and I can confirm that they just won't break.
