You can use the existing jam nut and cotter pin or you can modernize as I did, Stemco makes a beautiful spindle nut with an internal lock ring for precise bearing adjustment, excellent set up…

I'd have no clue how to go about finding a set I have no Aussie connections !

Those are freakin sweet but I have never seen fiberglass molded flares for a RD and my parts dude said what is offered is a roll of that ugly rubber shit $425 for a 15 foot roll from Mack, PAI online 10 foot rolls for $127 per, here is the part number for anyone interested… 24RU2705F
-
Thanks guys I will look into this, have to email my parts dude this morning he shipped me 2 drivers side slack adjusters so I’ll run the flares by him…
-
And these are 13" wide I will not run the 12.25"
-
I'd have to report back on that but I'd say it got better as this offset does not rub the pitman arm shocks and hoses as the Dayton's did...

Yes 88 RD688S Yup they stick out even further than the Dayton's did I got a little to aggressive with the offset but I own it now at $800 per wheel, it sure does look cool from the front I must say... Unfortunately they don't make flares for these ancient dogs anymore so yup she's gonna get filthy !

Ass busting job by yourself but well worth the end result...

Yeah the beautiful infamous ghost truck, look deeper in this for sale thread same truck same pics same description for sale somewhere in Canada, Same add appears a year or 2 later hour south of Chicago, neither alleged owners replied to any posters on this site including myself, until this phantom SuperGhost is sitting in my yard I'm calling BS !

Thanks Donny but that is a confusing reply.... I have a Mack rear mount PTO on my 12 speed, the only question Floater and I have is there a C102 configuration that will mount to the Mack PTO so we can eliminate the C101....

Well Paul it's a long list so I'll start out vane, she's sooooo much prettier ! Easier to keep clean, your duals always run dead nuts true with no fuss tightening down lug nuts and wedges properly, lightened up my tare weight by nearly 1,000 pounds, doing a shoe slap takes half the time and if you have to do your wheel seal it's a one man job, when I was about 25 I could lift off a spoke hub and put it back on myself but not anymore lol, you never have to worry about spinning a wheel and wiping out a valve stem... Oh and did I mention the COOL factor lol !

Best luck with Voyager by far, clean the contact point on the spindle shiny nice with your Dremal and polishing wheel an NO SILICON... Inspect the bottom side of your spindle for wear you will feel a grove where the bearing wore in from being loose or seized, I replaced 3 seals before I discovered this in one of my 44 rears, had a new spindle pressed on to the tune of nearly $2k... I preload the shit out of my bearings now and never another problem !

Well 3 years in and I must say hub pilot conversion is the best thing I've ever done to the old girl bar none... 2 things to say, first the truck should have been ordered hub pilot, second I should have converted it 20 years ago when I bought the old girl... Now I just need someone's recipe on building a 600HP E7 !

Floater is correct, any driveshaft and universal joints suck especially if not necessary... Gallion installed the original dump body on my truck and mounted the pump at to much of an angle, 2 years out of a set of universals and it vibrates like hell, so choices are refabrication or a "piggy back" pump, best choice is the latter IMO....

Anyone know if a direct drive C102 hydraulic pump will bolt up to a 12 speed Mack rear mount PTO or know of one that will ? These drive shaft driven units suck ass !

I’m looking for the 2 front lighting harnesses that plug in at the firewall and run to the 6 terminal buss strips mounted the the sides of the hood and feed the front lights… Looking for NOS or pristine condition, dam wires break right where your hood pivots and I’m sick of splicing in sections !

1988 RD688S 44K Mack Rears are HR735K Hub Pilot Hubs Gunite# if this helps, just did this conversion....

WTB A new or perfect gray RD headliner, I bought a new overhead console for stupid money from Mack but not sure if headliners are available I haven't inquired but highly doubt it! F@#$ing MICE got up there this winter and I cant get the foul smell out UGH !!! Thanks guys....
Front hub pilot conversion !

I'm assuming you can get them from any heavy parts supplier, we have a Superior Spring in these parts, I buy most shit from them and Ballard Mack...
