I am only licensed for 26K but I am up for an adventure.

Likely all the lines are the same length but you should make each new line identical to the old line.

As long as you don't run "full power" you should be okay without lead substitute. I think most HD truck engines had hardened valve seats.

I am guessing older pump-line-nozzle systems are in the 7500 psi range.

All set for Macungie! Here is my schedule: Thursday Arrive Fogelsville Hawthorne Suites around noon Hotel check-in Drive to Macungie Park, register, and park the truck/trailer Bum ride back to hotel (or unhook trailer and drive MH to hotel) Dinner???? Friday Bum ride from hotel to show Friday night potluck at Park Bum ride back to hotel (or unhook trailer and drive MH to hotel) Saturday Bum ride from hotel to show (or drive MH if unhooked) BMT group photo at 12Noon Drive truck/trailer to hotel after show Dinner???? Sunday Hotel check-out Return to Roaring Spring

Fuel injection lines are typically all the same length (all cylinders 1-6). Also the wall thickness of a brake line is not thick enough. Best to just go buy a set or have a fuel pump shop make them.

Today I switched the trailer title from AZ to OH without any issues. Also got license. Let me just say...."A bunch of BS from the license bureau." I went to another location and everything was okay.

I agree...used oil analysis. But UOA will not detect "big" pieces. "Big" pieces need a particle count/analysis.

Thanks BC, I see item 49 but I agree with you...poor connections within the dash panel (perhaps on the circuit boards). If all the gauges, lights, etc. are erratic it is likely a cab ground issue. If only a select few gauges, etc. then an internal ground.

I agree, ground issue but finding it another story. There are a lot of connectors under the dash but again I do not see a common connector for the cab. My only suggestion is to start with the main connector and work from there. The schematic shows individual grounds but no common connection. If you don't have a schematic I will try to scan mine and email to you. Electronics....don't ya' just love them! Where are you located?

Yum, yum! I had grilled brats, burgers, and onions along with cabbage salad. Couldn't find Bob Evans brats so I bought Johnsonville. They ended up about 1/2 of uncooked size. Never liked Johnsonville and will never buy them again. Sorry no pic.

That is what I thought. What is the diameter of the ring? The big piece in the lower left kinda looks like part of a thrust bearing.

FWIW, my MH612 weighs 13,000#.

Looks great!

Give the arrangement number to your Mack dealer. They should be able to lookup what filter you need.

Doug who??? Ice cream and beer? Yuk! But to each their own! Whatever it takes! Thanks Doug and others at ATCA for organizing and executing great Macungie shows. I am sure this year's show will be another great one. Now if only you could control the weather...

I found the electrical manual for the MH. I see no common ground junction for the dash or cab. The LH Gauge Panel A and RH Gauge Panel C have individual grounds but a common ground wire within each panel (lights and gauges). The ground wire is an 18gauge Black. If I remember correctly, the gauge panel ground circuit is on the printed board. Do all your gauges and dash lights act strange? If not then I would say (SWAG) it is the individual gauge circuit. If it were a cab ground likely all the gauges and lights would be an issue. Like I stated earlier, run a jumper wire from the gauge ground to the panel screw. Or a good ground from the panel. Sorry I can't be more help. I will look at my MH when I get to PA later this week.

Vlad, I was thinking, why not spend the summer and fall in USA. June - Macungie July - other truck and tractor shows August - Pro Footbal Hall of Fame activities in Canton, OH August - Watt's Truck Show October - Gerhart's All Mack Show October - Mack Show at Allentown Lancaster County - Amish and Railroading Altoona - Horseshoe Curve I am sure others know of events and landmarks to visit. You could bum around the USA and I am sure you could find places to stay. You have an open invitation if you visit Altoona, PA or Canton, OH

My fuel gauge was acting erratic. I put a ground wire from the gauge to a mounting screw on the circuit board. That solved my issue. I have "static" in my satelite receiver and I suspect it is a "bad" ground somewhere. Have you used a good ground to the gauge and determine if the issue is resolved? Because of the fiberglas cab, ground is always an issue with MHs.

I do not know without looking at the schematic. I am in OH and will try to look later this week when I am back in PA with my truck. What is your problem with the dash?

I used my MH for personal transportation. I arrived at the show early on Saturday morning so I could get the same spot. 2013 Show Regulations (found on front of registration form) 3. Show trucks are requested to remain parked on the field until 4:00pm Friday and Saturday of the show. 4. Show trucks will be allowed on the field Thursday afternoon, June 13, 2013.

Im so confused! Someone author a Mack book and include LOTS OF PICTURES!

I see Olive on an Ag forum occassionally. As for Rob...well...no comment. Seriously I enjoyed Rob's comments, insight, expertise, etc. I don't think Rob made any comments that were out of line but some people are just more sensitive than others. But as I say, "delete and move on". Anything posted here is public. If it is a private message then that is something that needs to be handled between the parties involved in private. Wish RandyP a full recovery with his health problems and hope to see him back soon. Heck, we are all crazy,,,some just more than others. Just my "Sunday morning" philosphy.

Doug - sent a note to Terry and received his reply...I am on the reservation list for Friday night. He said "bring a chair and an appetite". Since Leslie is not coming until Saturday, I will be eating for two.

YES! BMT group photo at Watt's tent 12 noon Saturday! Be there! We should have a large group this year. Looking forward to see everyone.
