  1. Hi all,im very interested in this topic as i'd like to know more about the engine in our Cruiseliner.we have the 2 valve EM6-300 engine and the engine number matches the build sheet.the truck was built in 1982.it has the 5/6 speed transmission and the intercooler is mounted in front of the rad.it does 60MPH at 1800 RPM.the engine is painted red and according to the first owner it was red from new.we are wondering how this fits in with whats already been said here. Paul
  2. Make sure she dont find that out...you'd never know what might happen🤣
  3. Pic from yesterdays trip. Paul
  4. Hi all,well the Cruiseliner is back on the road.fitted new turbo and rebuilt the gear linkage and she is running real sweet.took her out for a 40 mile run yesterday and she never missed a beat.we have a few odds and ends to tidy up then she will be ready for paint.many thanks guys. Paul
  5. Great to put a face to the names thats been so much help to us here in Ireland.maybe we'll get to a show or two in states and meet you guys.....and buy you a beer!!!!!! Paul
  6. I'd like to second that.the help iv got since buying our Cruiseliner has been nothing short of amazing.we would not be as far on or know as much about our truck only for the guys you named and a few others shareing their knowledge with us.Big thank you to all... Paul
  7. Interesting....iv no experence of anything like this as twin screw tractors are not common over here.im thinking of my Cruiseliner here...so remove jack shaft pull the half shafts put on diff lock.now iv no diff lock switch and i know you guys will know much better than me but how would oil get to the wheel bearings? Im only asking as i want learn more.thanks Paul
  8. I knew a guy who drove buses for 62 years and was forced off the road for the same reason as this guy.died shortly after retirement.some just live for driving.. Paul
  9. Thanks guys,ill try that later today.i just didnt want to do damage and then have to look for one.... Paul
  10. Hi all,might be a bit of a stupid question but how is the horn button removed from the centre of the steering wheel? I ask because i dont want to break it and maybe theres an easy way to do it.i think the horn button is stuck as i found a wire hanging behind the dash and when connected horn blows continualy...small problem as the air horns work ok but in Ireland the electric horn is a leagle requirment....thanks Paul.

  14. Thanks for that joey,thats a great chart,very useful.im forever in debt to you and this site for all your help.many thanks.
  15. Hi.must be something about being around trucks and other machinery.hard work and long hours are the norm while the "nice people" get everything.that was some hardship you have been through Paul but you weathered it.i have been kicked in the teeth a few times by life but never to the extent you have.i think if your prepared to work you will grind out a living somehow.i know i did.keep on truckin is my motto. Paul
  16. Hi all,well new turbo is on the way as well as the parts to rebuild the shift tower and UJs on shift linkage.Is there a torque setting for manifold studs or is it just tight as you can get then? Same on turbo studs.? Just want her to be perfect.thanks Paul
  17. Great.we will look into getting there......thanks
  18. Hi Vlad,iv been reading your adventures in search of Mack trucks.they are very interesting.you should write a book.im sure it would sell very well.thanks for shareing them with us.you tell a very different story about the countrys you visit than the stories the media tells us.it is great to get the other side of it from someone like you. Paul
  19. We have got some parts from the guy in the Netherlands,a turbo and some service parts.what parts do you have?when is the Mack day happening?we might make it over to that depending on work.the Cruiseliners in the pictures are real nice.have you any history on them?we would like to talk to other Mack owners. Paul
  20. Wow Vlad,i just found your Cruiseliner story.what an adventure.pictures are great.thanks for shareing it with us.great reading.didnt know thay came with a short cab untill i saw yours.i always loved the Cruiseliner.the one my son and i bought is still the only one we have ever seen in real life. Paul
  21. Hi,nice trio of Cruiseliners there.my son has made contact with a guy in the Netherlands who has parts i wonder if its you.....i dont have the name to hand.if its not you we would like to be in contact with you.are all the Cruiseliners yours? Thanks for making contact. Paul

  23. Thanks Joey,your the man with the answers.this project wouldnt be as far on only for you and the others on this site.we do thank you all. Paul
  24. Hi all,asking questions agsin as we try to get to know our Cruiseline inside out.The trunnion bearing in the Camelback suspension is it oil or grease lube? The reason i ask is theres one grease point at the rear of the trunnion tower and what appears to be an oil plug on the bearing cap(see pic).i understand the weight has to be off the bearing to lube it.any infomation would be great.thanks. Paul
  25. Did the austrailian and new zealand Cruiseliner and superliner have rectangular headlights? My 82 Cruiseliner has axel mounted steering box and round headlights in round bezels.
