What’s the difference there?

Joe, is that vin you posted for a sleeper truck? The one in your picture maybe? I’m still needing to get mine cleaned up. I don’t see the piece I have circled on the breakdown that Heinz posted. Wondering if it’s supposed to be there? Surely the exhaust isn’t supposed to come out on the inside of the passenger side air bag is it?

…?

I put an exterior filter on my Freightliner that really helped keep grain trash out beeswings and bean hulls and what not. Can’t really tell what this is on Raney’s website. Does this go across the whole top of the outside firewall? Here’s a picture of what mine looks like

Seems like mack and John Deere are about the only 2 companies I can think of that really didn’t have their engines in anything besides what they built. Kind of a shame since it seems the L10 Cummins was a flop from what I’ve heard and think the e6/e7 could have been a good fit for an alternative. Just a thought I had. I enjoy reading about management history of these companies and deals that happened behind closed doors

Also, do these seals need to go in the other direction? This is how my old ones were in but after reading an old thread on here it sounds like maybe the lips needs to go towards axle?

Another Mack question. Never seen a setup with this extra race either. Looks like I can buy just the seal quite a bit cheaper than the set that comes with both. Does that race with the roll pin need replaced with the seal or can it be reused?

is there a procedure on how far to screw that bottom cap in? I would assume you need to go far enough to get the thrust bearing to contact the kingpin but how far past that?

took everything apart. Just wasn’t sure what that was on the bottom if it was a nut or plug or what.

Thanks. Yep that’s how we did my Freightliner years ago. For some reason no one wants to hold the drift with their hands 😂

First time doing Mack kingpins on my 94 ch613. What came in my pai kit looks a little different than what’s in my truck. Mainly wondering if this piece with the cross in it in the bottom is to be reused? Is it threaded in or just pressed/drove in? And wondering if I’m ready to drive the old ones out once that bottom piece is out? Only ones I’ve messed with are the ones with the tapered pin and have heard of guys trying to drive those out and forgetting to take those tapered pins out first 😁

Well I haven’t done much interchanging myself. But to my understanding there isn’t really much to it as long as firing order and rotation is the same as well as mounting side I’m assuming. For instance I know Cummins and IH pumps are interchangeable you just have to add some hardware to the front of the Cummins pump to go on an IH where case and John Deere do not go onto IH with much ease. I’m just unaware what is on the front structure of a Mack mechanical as I’ve never had one off

They’re the only 2 that use inline pumps that mount on the right side of engine I can think of and it appears they’re both right hand rotation. Just not sure how the drive and front structure mounting are on both. Don’t ask me why I’m asking! 😁

Possibly but hard to tell. I know previous owner converted it to hub pilot from budd but that’s all I know

Well I’m guessing if you guys don’t know there’s no way Mack will. Last I talked to my closest dealer I can’t remember what about but I could tell they knew virtually nothing about this era of trucks. Not a real big deal either way, just figured I’d set it and/or record it if possible
