  1. Well after 4 14 hour days of working on it I think it might be ready for the road. It was definitely a Labor day weekend. Relined front brakes and drums(which I couldn't get until today, and they were ONLY $290 each). Found a bad wheel bearing, replaced all of them. Replaced exhaust pipe found bottom connection on muffler was bad couldn't find one Saturday so I cut one off another one I had and welded it on. Took air cleaner off to paint and found the one strap was bad, had to make a new one. Paint didn't quite match but it's better than rust. Put on a new steer tire. Changed oil and filters. Pulled off all the wheels and cleaned and painted them. Put a visor on. Wife spent a couple days cleaning inside and polished tanks and cab. Looks pretty good all cleaned up. I'll try to get a picture on tomorrow.

  2. Thanks for the comments. I hope it works out. The Ch is getting tired and it will be awhile before I get the Superliner back on the road.

    Good luck nice nice!! If I were you I would check the top cover of your trans. If it is a T2090, I have a truck just like that but a year older and I also had a Superliner (89) with a 2090 both broke the forks and jammed the trans between the gears and broke the main shaft in the trans! IT IS A MACK PROB. And they make an updated cover!! Mack would not stand behind the failure, and if not for the service man. At Mack at the time I would not even known about the new cover that they put on the trans when they fixed it! I was not charged for the new cover!! So look into it, I don' know if anyone else has had the problem but I sure did! What a beautiful truck!!

    PS my old Bull Dog works every day!!

    When I had my 84 r model I remember they had a recall on the 2090 so I was hoping they fixed the problem by the time this one was built.
