  1. The interior color is right all magnums came with red interior if it had a sleeper the headliners were white on magnum models only. The seats are correct and have the magnum logo in the seats. Yea truck paper always list Mack's with wrong info I've seen ch listed as r model and so forth. I have done two complete ground up restorations on magnums both were 1985 models . I'll have to post pics of the sometime both are show winners . I have a guy wanting me to do a rw liberty edition restoration think I'm going to pass on that one she is rough

    All Magnums had red headliners. The only the sleepers themsevles had white headliners originally. The truck on truckpaper is an original Magnum and was originally built with an E9400 engine, 2090 9Spd tranny, camle back suspension, and a double frame.

  2. Put in Pai thermostats. We've had this problem on several V8's and the problem was Mack Thermostats. The Mack ones would test right when tested but we found that the water pump was pushing them open because they have to weak of springs in them. I could physically open the mack ones by hand but not the Pai ones. After we put the Pai ones in the the temp went from 110 degrees to 180. The last one we did this to was JR Collins" 86 Superliner road truck when we put the new cab on last winter and he said it's been fine ever since.

    Many thanks, Josh

  3. Thanks for the update on the visor. I was at Gearhart's and I cannot believe after hours in the Superliner row I never looked at the visors!

    too much other eye candy on them I guess.

    mackdaddy,

    The sun visor on your 83 is a factory one. Mack put both on up until 1987. After 87 they stuck with just the lund sun visor. All of the Mack Magnum Superliners built had the same visor as yours with different mounting brackets that came out in 1985 with the Superliner 2.
