I think these originally came with Cummins 855's, switching to the 8.3 liters at some point.
-
Joey's pretty spot on. I don't have the hard numbers because the last ASET in-frame we handled was so long ago, but the last engine swing for an ASET we did in '22 was over $34k. Add inflation into it as well as you not getting the same price as the fleet this was done for on our end, and it'll skyrocket.

I think Mack still sells the camelback, which they better. I haven't met anyone that actually likes the mRide (vRide with the stupidly expensive v-rods that break all the time), and there's obviously applications where air ride is not suitable. As for Mack rear ends, I really haven't seen any problems outside of age or abuse. I have seen more Meritors fail than Macks, but those probably weren't Meritor's fault. -
MAYBERRY TRUCK SHOW
The Heinz replied to 1961H67's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I've never liked the mega chrome crowd, especially the stretched frame, low-riding ones. I can only see that making it harder to drive the darn thing, but what do I know, I'm a parts guy. -
Hope it turned out well, I could have helped if I had seen this post. I keep an Excel sheet of 45 VINs for old Macks, an '86 White, an N14 equipped Volvo, and a couple of Titans, just for cases like this.

MAYBERRY TRUCK SHOW
The Heinz replied to 1961H67's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
This one is the same that I've seen, says Sowers on the doors and is a triaxle. -
My range for truck shows is a little small right now, but my friend Frank (the red Superliner I've posted pictures of) was there without the truck. Sent me a bunch of videos of all the V8's running, including the tractor pull champ demonstrating what 2600HP looks like. I need to add that to my list of future events.

MAYBERRY TRUCK SHOW
The Heinz replied to 1961H67's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Looks like a good time. I remember that blue R700 from last year's Greensboro show. I was surprised at how quiet that thing was compared to the GMC (?) that had a 2 stroker in it. My brother isn't into trucks like me but he was enjoying how weird those things sound compared to everything else he's heard! -
I'm going to have to borrow some of those, they sound absolutely delicious.
-
Sorry for the late reply, our internet was down for a chunk of Friday, and I didn't think to check the forum during the weekend. This is the crossmember for the front engine mount, but unfortunately, it is obsoleted by Mack. The part number is 10QL39311, and it's called a BRACKET noted as SUPPORT ASSY, ENGINE FRONT.
-
The newest number from Cummins is 3054088PX, but they only show to have two in the entire network on my end.
-
I haven't heard about the Pinnacle, and news about the MP7 hasn't reached me except for the rumor that a new Cummins engine would replace it. Which is crazy, considering Cummins has such a hold over the entire truck industry,
-
In our experience, once the float is stuck, just throw the whole reservoir at it. We can get Automann versions a lot cheaper than the Mack one, with the exact same results.
-
We're dead in the water when it comes to the Midliners, all support was dropped years ago. It sucks having to tell a customer that there's no parts out there except for eBay and France.
-
Being near a city is the problem, I'm sure smaller town shows and meets are at least somewhat nicer.
-
That is a very, VERY accurate statement. I despise the car scene because just about everyone in it is either trouble, a self-centered snob, or a kid with mommy-daddy money. Truck shows though? They're awesome, never met someone that I hated being around. Welcome to BMT! This board is full of awesome people that are interested in helping, not a lot of measuring contests here if you know what I mean.
-
Interesting, I don't think I'm useful from here then. The few V8 VIN's I have saved are E9's and not ENDT8's, and the only primer they show is like 6 in my screenshot.
-
I use PAI for these primer pumps because the Mack lookup never gets it right or never even shows the hand primer. I believe this is a PAI EPP-3586, Mack number 318GC17A.
-
I had a Canadian R model from 1990 that I used to look up, and those governors are available should you end up looking for one. Just about everybody has a version, Bendix, Wabco, etc.
-
That tracks, you're dumping more fuel than needed into the crankcase, so you'd be "using" more fuel than other trucks.
-
Interesting, the number you gave me is for EPA14 injectors, yet the VIN is an EPA10 engine. Per your VIN, the Six-Pack number I gave is accurate. I'm starting to think someone put the wrong injectors in and caused the issues you're having.
-
We've had trucks create oil before, and 9 times out of 10 it's the injectors overfueling. I can't confirm that's your issue 100%, but it sounds like that's your issue.
-
They would be the conical style that started in '07. Mack sells a Six-Pack of injectors that includes the cups, orings, and hold-down screws. They're usually priced to be cheaper than all six individually too. Part number for an EPA10 MP7 should be 85143381.

Mack aset coolant hose screen
The Heinz replied to Jeffrey 34's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Readily available! The screen on these is under the oil cooler, it runs down towards the bypass hose I call the cactus. I'll paste a screenshot:
