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.

Electric horn
cruiseliner64 replied to cruiseliner64's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Thanks guys,ill try that later today.i just didnt want to do damage and then have to look for one.... Paul -
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.

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

Great.we will look into getting there......thanks

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

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

Axle mounted Steering box
cruiseliner64 replied to ws721's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
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.
