    Here's upclose carnage of the pushing. When the splitter fork is shifted to the high position while the transmission is in low range, its pushing the sliding clutch into that bushing and the bushing cant rotate (spin) with that sliding clutch as it engages and it burns up the bushing and splitter gear.
  2. BottleHauler84
    Yes, thats very true. Also, the auxiliary box mainshaft and splitter gear are different as well. Something else, eventhough the final output ratios are the same between the RTLO18918B and RTLO18913A, basically all the other ratios are different. Here is what a RTLO18913a that someone plumbed up as an 18 speed without changing the aux splitter gear with the extra mainshaft bearing.

    Well, thats a damn good idea.i think ill give that a try.

    Joey, just to be clear....this is the old style sensor that has a ground screw terminal and then the sender terminal that holds the terminal with a nut. Before I tried shorting the sender terminal to ground, I wanted to ask for advice.

    On my 93 MH, its a E7 V-MAC 1 and I recently discovered one of the steel expansion plugs on the rear cylinder head is leaking badly. Problem is is on the front side of the head so that means its between the cylinder heads. I need to bring the truck into the shop from out in the parking area to get it tore apart, but obviously the low coolant sensor tells Vmac to shut down the engine. I only need to run it about 5 mins to get into the shop but its a pain with it shutting down every 15 seconds. What do I need to bypass that coolamt level sensor on the radiator tank? Im thinking about a resistor but not sure what value.

    Exactly right! Im probably lucky in a sense because the time period i was a kid in was the last of the no cell phone, computer or internet era. Id liked to came along 20 or 30 years earlier lol

    You are lucky. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and things sure have gotten outta hand. Sometimes I just can't believe it.

    It sounds like it was invented by a low IQ liberal retard.

    Awsome! Good luck on your project @FreightTrain
  17. BottleHauler84
    @Freightrain im thinking the one you're after is eaton fuller # K-3675. That is the cast iron version with halo (forced lube) and nodal mounts for a Mack and K-3674 is the aluminum version and expensive. Also, the crossshaft is below center which are usually harder to find. K-3672 is drilled for both above and below centerline, so it should would too if need be.
  18. BottleHauler84
    Unfortunately no. That case is drilled for the halo so the best thing to do is find a bell housing that has the halo groove cut into it.You can use a halo cut bell housing on a non halo transmission, but obviously you cant do the opposite The last cast iron one i bought for a rtlo18918b with a halo cut nodal mount bell housing was around $400. Also, if you ho from aluminum to cast iron or vice versa, you need to change out the mounting bolts because they are a different length.
  19. BottleHauler84
    Yes sir. I use the fish scale method when I rebuild eaton and rockwell diffs, so luckily im familiar with that method. I appreciate the info on the bearing preload specs.
  20. BottleHauler84
    @Joey Mack i ended up buying the Kent Moore wrench shown in the Mack service manual. Do you use the same spanner wrench for adjusting the Bullgear bearing adjustment or do you have another way or tool you use? Just curious on your thoughts or methods and tools you use when you build them.

    Hey what about William Wallace???? LOL

    I converted a couple of my Macks over from Budd wheels to hub pilot. I bought my stuff from Donny at Global Truck Traders. (603)239-7008 I have not talked to Donny in several years, so I don't know what his inventory looks like at the moment, but its worth a call. Good luck.

    I have an 88 R model also and a CH. I do have a few old parts trucks, but I dont really count those. I love old Macks up to early 2000s, 2002 or so, but there's just something about those old cabover Mack that I really really enjoy. I love the cruiseliner but the MH Ultraliner is my favorite Mack. Growing up around a few of them i think is what done it. Both of my MH cabovers are projects, but still working trucks if needed.

    I wish! Truck is in real good shape, needs a bumper because the chrome peeled, paint is getting chips and needs to be repainted, but frame and everything is solid. Very clean. Interior is black level III and in really good shape. E6 350 Mack and dynatard, Mack T2010 transmission, 38k 4:42 Mack rears on Neway. 196" wheelbase. I was lucky to get it from a friend of mine thats had it forever.

    This is one of my other MH Macks. Its actually getting stretched and a set of 44k on Mack/ HAS Hendrickson air ride. Its a 93 with a E7 V-MAC and eaton 13 speed. Real solid truck and hard to find E7 electronic in it.
