87valueliner

There went your lottery chance. Great story.

WOW! nice Superdawg

Like Trent said check ebay often, have seen many different colors on there.

Hi, I have a 1988 E6-350 4 valve engine that came out of a MH cabover that I want to put in my 1987 Valueliner. The engine has the cast alum. timing cover on it now, but I need to change to the stamped steel cover due to the front crossmember on my truck. All the Mack engines I have seen with the steel cover have Ambac Injection Pumps and I have the close coupled Bosch pump. Is it really just as simple as swapping the timing covers? Thanks for any advice, Kevin

Mine came new with the regular E6-350, not the E6-350L

The charge air cooler on my 87 model with a 4v 350 is 3md 53b according to the book.

Sorry I overlooked this post , but I am a member of a site called chevytalk.com that might can help you. They cover everything GM old to new, cars and trucks. Each body style has it's own forum.

Superdog and David, I might be interested in one of your sleepers especially the dual cutouts. I can't find a door for mine anywhere. Thanks, Kevin

The Able sleeper on my truck measures 85" across. Its a 36" sleeper and on the exhaust cutout it measures 28 1/4 from back of sleeper to where cutout begins. Hope that helps and wasn't too confusing. Kevin

Yep, very nice indeed.

About a month ago I bought a 68 cornfield caddy tandem with a 220 Cummins, 10 speed and 750 Holmes deluxe body. Went to New Orleans today (about a 150 mile round trip) and picked up a flooded 6 yard dump with it. Old girl runs good and doesn't use oil, but is low on power. I'll be glad to get the Mack running and get the body over on it. Kevin

Thanks for the reply as i'll probably be leaving this afternoon. Should be a fun trip back down through the Ozarks. Thanks again, Kevin

Hello, I'm about to buy a truck with a 220 Cummins in it. Anything bad to look for as I'll be making a 700 mile trip back with it. Also any info appreciated. Thanks in advance, Kevin

Yea, whats the scoop on the red Mack next to it? Enquiring minds want to know.

There are some different frame sizes in Macks. The smaller frame is probably the standard R- model frame. The taller, wider frame is probably the RD frame. As far as a difference between Superliners, I don't know. Go to the old boards and look under my old name 87RS688lst as I asked a similar question not long ago, might have some info to help. Kevin

I've seen the one you're talking about and I wouldn't want to use it either. It was on an early 80's concrete truck that a local company wrecked.The truck was a valueliner and had floats also. The shaft on mine is I guess in about the 2:00 o'clock position.

Trent, my 87 RS688 has the box on the outside of the rail with the shaft facing straight towards the steering wheel. In other words there is almost no angle at the u-joint at the steering box like on some of the regular R models that have a lot of angle at the joint. The number I got off my box is HF642989 hope this helps, Kevin

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I will wait a while longer & see what else I can find. Thanks, Kevin

I plan on using a Fuller 9-15 spd. Not sure which yet. Thanks, Kevin

Don't know what to do. I've been looking for a used E6-350 4vh engine for my truck at a reasonable price and had no luck. Found two 300's to choose from, a 1990 E6-300 4vh for $3,000 no core and a 84 EM6-300R for $2,500 no core. I'm thinking seriously about buying the 90 E6 4vh engine, but the guy with the EM6 says the 4vh engines had camshaft problems but slightly more power. What are the pros and cons of each, and should I wait and try to find a 350? Thanks in advance, Kevin
