  1. I had a Rawhide like that one.....I miss that rig but dont miss that ASET motor.
  2. Excellent job. Very hard to find people that put as much heart and effort into restoring trucks with such detail as you do. Keep the pictures coming.
  3. Should be on one of the sides or edges of the Valve covers. usually on or around the serial plate (the blue plate). If its a reliabuilt reman engine there will be a serial plate on the block near the head passenger side usually. Great find, Best of luck. Silver V892's were usually 435hp and 475hp that I can remember. Congrats!
  4. @Vinny......were you wearing a blue hat and a blue shirt that day at Macungie?
  5. 3rd visit this year.....the kids want to come this time....oh boy.....
  6. Besides being a really nice guy, Dave Mckenna is one of the few true "Mack Men" left under the Volvo regime. Good for him speaking up about the fate of the E9. My Father worked with Dave at Mack Canada and speaks very highly of him.
  7. I'm running 2 brand new set back axle Pinnacles. getting excellent fuel mileage (Avg.8.3 mpg Impereal) and only fit and finish warranty issues to report at over 50,000kms since Feb 1st on each. What we gain in fuel mileage from what we had from our 2008 Pinnacle, we lose in DEF fluid with the plus of no regens so far. All good.
  8. The Borg Warner turbo's were problematic as well. 2 of my trucks had vane issues.

    The Last of the CH set backs. 2003 was the start of Visions with EGR engines and the end of CH set back axle with non EGR. 460hp 18fuller 4way Meritor lockers on Air Mack 14.6fr

    All of that for a friggen pin hole rotted through the frost plug on the rear of the head.....
  12. I had a 2005 CXN (355-380 Maxi cruise) that would puff black every once and a while (would make a choo-choo sound with it at times) wouldn't happen all the time but there were days when it did it would loose a lot of power and almost shut the truck down coughing black until you let off the throttle and let it "gain its composier". It turned out the Vanes in the Turbo were worn and starting to stick from time to time. Check the turbo operation....Seen the same problem with the 60 series DD EGR engines. Good luck.
  13. Damn shame....always wished I could have got my hands on one of those single axle MH's
  14. For one of my CXN's I was given 2 defective fuel senders out of the box. 3rd one seemed to be the charm. Seems to be a common issue with the supplier of these new tank senders.
  15. Mack Mid-Liners (CS and MS) used Hydralic clutches aswell. The best way to bleed those is with a pressure bleeder. In the case of a CS or MS 250 and 300 series truck (200 series was not offered with an air assist) they have an air assisted hydralicly controled slave clutch cylinder mounted to the transmission bell housing. If you have oil in the air system at or in the slave cylinder (just in case you may be refering to that kind of an issue) you will need a new clutchslave cylinder assembly.
