Some times a head gasket,BULLHUSK

Mark, YA really want a piss these guy's OFF tell em you could drive a QUADE BOX LIKE A 5 SPEEEEEDD OOHHH BOY!!!!!!

BULLHUSK PS It's all in fun, life's too short AMEN !

GG2 my uncle had a garbage dump here in Jersey 50's thru late 60's had 6 TD 24's one TD14 all cable except for the 14 as a kid i used to love starting those 24's now lets see if i remember? pull rack rod out (lower left) open gas ped cock right side some times under hood or on right of dash, throttle up 1-2 notch start up on gas let run (depending on how cold) turn gas ped cock off just as she started too sputter you pulled up throttle and pushed in rackrod and the 1091 cam to life !! Now my cousin Tony said the reason the heads used to crack was because the rad. was too low and when the water would go below the head thus starving the upper part of the motor. So he made a res. tank under the hood held about 8 extra gal.put a 8 blade fan on it and it NEVER cracked a head !!! but buy then the TD25c came out and the rest is history. oh by the way near the end he had a TD30 could not run @ full throttle when pulled the steering back it would throw you out of the seat!! what a time it was BULLHUSK

SOOO!!! Packer it wasn't a ticket too get you back too the coast OK now i get it !!! Just Kiddin Packer i remember a guy who worked with my dad used to run Jersey to Chicago 2X a week and start on his third!!Big round pill he used to cut in 1/4's when he got tired he'd take a peice. The guy's still around prob. in his late 70's now, but when i see him it's always great to ask him about the old days of truckin like guys with chains hooked on to ther bumper to get towed over a steep hill, i could just sit and listen all day long. Last time I seen (Tony)he reminded me i'll be the old timer soon!

I can sharpen a pencil with a knife & break a round toothpick with my bear hands !! let's see em top that!!

2 KINDS OF INTERNATIONAL TD 24'S ONE WITH CRACKED HEADS & ONE THATS GONA HAVE CRACKED HEADS!! Still my favorite dozer out push any Cat machine! 2 speed steering way ahead of it's time to bad you couldn't squeeeezzzzz a KT Cummins under the hood ?

Tom,I think your K100 K/W is a great looking truck!! But I'm a sucker for C/O's esp day cab's. Now just my opinion the Mack motor E6 EM6 E7 EM7 732 cu. in. (power to weight)horse power & torque is the best diesel ever made. Even the older 673 & 673-P motors ran better then the HR 195 & NH 220 Cummins all non turbos of yesteryear. Even today's 12 liter Cat motors around the same cubes don't run like the Mack engines. Now your friend who said his 350 Mack with a little tweaking will out run your 855 cu. in. Cummins YA OK BUT if you start tweakin your PT pump on your Cummins your friend's gona lose! Just like the guy who posted before me said 723 VS 855 ? But again just my opinion the 350 Mack motor in the Superliner maybe with a little tweak will run just fine they just do!! BULLHUSK

That would be a Jersey Guys Answer!!!! YES WAY TOO GO STORMIN NORMAN!!!!!!

No true'er words spoken

I'd send A copy to Nancy, Harry, Barney, Chris & Barack, But they don't seem to read anything

Tom, truckpaper.com has about 40 superliner's for sale take a look just too compare BULLHUSK

Gambi80 thats how my T 2090 started sorry BULLHUSK

Thats great!! Japanese Freightliner never heard that one before, just pissssed my pants and fell off my chair. BULLHUSK Oh ya how about west coast turn a rounds I asked my dad what that were when i was a kid he told me it was a ticket all truckers had to get on the west coast to get back to the east coast.Do you still need to get those tickets before coming back east ?

Bruceb,Let us Know how you make out with this I also am curious to know what was wrong? Oh by the way i do remember how my dad fixed it all he did was pulled the cap and cover off checked to make sure the springs were ok then sprayed this stuff he called cow piss inside to free it up(I think it't called nutbuster) something i think you can do yourself, Firemack seems to know these motors maby he can walk you through it, because i don't know if the guts are the same BULLHUSK

I don't Know a lot about these motors or the distributor's that it has, but years back my dad had an International R220 with a 501 gas motor and it was doing something like yours is doing The trouble has inside the dist.the advance was froze shut and it would not advance the timimg when the engine called for power. Just a shot in the dark BULLHUSK

OH WELL I guess my R model with the American Bosch must be a lemon ? no?

Call Devino truck parts Newark N.J on Doremus Ave ask for Mike he's got a couple of bulldogs chain drives sittin in his yard he comes across a lot of old stuff' it's worth a shot or get in touch with Gary Mahan just Google his name or some one should have his # to post.

BULLSUSK PS I've seen this truck at his place and it's something you realy got a see. that steering wheel on the drivers side(out side beheind driver ) thats the trailer brake it works with a steering box ,pullies ,an cables it's just something to see. Bigfoot must have driven it!

I agree with just about everything you have said here but why pick on Freightliner? We stopped buying Macks in the late 1980's (WE HAVE ONE CH 613) at one time you could not give me brand X 100% MackTruck then---- Am Bosch inj. pumps started to fail,water pumps started to leak,fan clutches started to stop working,our T2090 9speeds started to explode because of shifting fork failure then Mack later came out with a new modf. cover. Mack never stepped to the plate to help us!! a 100% Mack customer why??? So we bought 1 Pete and 1 F/liner series 60 detroit diesels 1993 we still have those trucks today over 800,000 mi.we have gone over them sure today we are 100 % Freightliner why you say? Benz bought Freightliner Western Star And then Detroit diesel also Sterling They have kept these companys alive except for Sterling not like Volvo who destroyed White Motors and put Volvo on the lots I don't see any Merc's on Freightliner lots ? Benz shifted some assem. to mexico but keep Detroit Diesel assem and production in Detroit USA were all there world engines are made.In closing I only wish Benz had taken over Mack and I'll bet you wouldn't see a Merc. motor under the hood.Look at a heavy Western Star today tell me it's not a Old Mack Acar combo ? again just my personal opinion BULLHUSK PS we still love and own the older Macks

BULLHUSK

Whats the deal with these American Bosch inj. pumps my 88 R model E-6 350 only has 375-K miles on it and i'm ready to put my 3rd pump on it (brass inside pump) is there any fix for this? Ihave a CH with a Robert Bosch Germ.pump I think it's A P7100 ? over 500,000 mi never touched it.I've been told if i want to put the P7100 on my R600 i have to change the turbo. Is ther a fix for the Ambec pump ?

Thank's ERNIE BULLHUSK

Ya GG2 good luck wtth them Brocks.You should get some hits there and you know I never had that happen to me on a Mack but I learned on a Mack Quad box and the old timer (Tony) would always tell me make square shifts and no horseshoe's like Joe said

GG2 hay thers nothing wrong with being to young you can always learn,just got to find A truck with A side stick I'd show you on my Brockway but thats a5x4 air shift besides A Mack I though was always the easiest an just felt like they (the two sticks) belonged together just a better driver friendly truck all around just my opinion. And OH by the way usually when you drove an A-Car with an aux trans there was a peice of rebar under your seat so when you jamed the aux you had to go under the truck and bang the shifting rails back into place something something you didn't have to do on a MACK

ERNIE

Superdog; Yes that is the motor!! I GOOGLED Cat 1676 and got some good feed back even one guy calling it ( THE GHOST IN CATS CLOSET) another guy confirming what i remembered Cat doing and that was replacing them with 1693 and 1674's even had a picture of one!!

Ernie

Took power nap,I am relaxed an cured of any egotistic tendancies no offense taken HK I just love this site and it answers so many unanswered questions that i have,

and so many more to come!!

ERNIE

The guy asked A question?can you drive a Mack with a quad box without using all the gears and the answer is YES if you are M/T and the truck is NOT loaded I stand by my answer! it has nothing to do about being lazy or driving with two cups of coffee and 4donuts and a pack af camels if your 673 natural or your E9 500 can" t pick the RPM'S up M/T you should bring it to the shop if the quadbox has a dead 5th then you can't shift it that way

Ernie PS sorry not trying to be a wise guy just thought i answered the guys question correctly
