  1. you better get a engine manual for that engine, I know the valve lash is real critical with a engine brake. terry
  2. Insurance keeps a lot of people from retiring at 62. terry
  3. If you are going slow before you get into something slick you can engage power divider, you just can't engage when wheels are spinning that is where you have to come to a stop and engage the divider. I have done this for 40 years on macks and no divider troubles. terry
  4. Wonder if this is a B75 instead of a B77 as the ad states, A B77 should be a cummins with the oil filter on the outside on drivers side? terry
  5. Love to hear the answer on this, where I used to work we always changed these brake cans to the regular ones with no problems. terry
  6. Was the Lanova diesel used in the late E models? I know of a local one with that engine. terry
  7. not a bad looking truck for the money!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ terry

  10. A little shopping around can save some big bucks!! terry

  12. Could be a trouble free set up, I had a DM once with a 285 and 12spd with 4.17,s and the engine would run to 2300 RPM,s, it was a real sleeper!! terry
  13. Most all are reduced to about 60 pounds. terry
  14. A price up front will weed out a lot of responses. terry
  15. Not a bad price for all that work that has been done, if your into that kind of conversion. terry
  16. Right behind fill plug on left side is a flat area, scrape with a putty knife then a wire brush, there will be a TRT72 or 720, that will tell what front box is, back box is always a overdrive on a triplex or quad. terry Also a aluminum back box will be a TRTL series
  17. I would go with about a 5.13 ratio, is your triplex a single or double over? terry
  18. Just checked one of my old manuals 1969 version that exact model no. was TRDXL107 for the low hole one and a TRDXL1070 for the overdrive one. terry
  19. X107A is a six speed with air operated back box, a true twelve spd is 3 boxes all bolted together, a real long trans. terry
  20. When they went to the 107X, reverse was put on aux. stick, then you had 5spds. in reverse along with direct and a low gear, also 1071X had a lower low gear in the aux. terry
  21. no it was as I described above, It was before the X107 six spd, only made for a couple of years, I will dig in one of my old mack service manuals to check, If I remember it had an interlock to use the low range with the main in 1 st gear, and the overdrive one had to have the main in 5th gear. terry
  22. if I am not mistaken that was the first version 6 spd, you shifted the main 5 times and the aux. box from direct to overdrive for the earlier deeper rear ratios, they also had one the aux. went from direct to low, for a lower first gear. terry
  23. That is a bare bones cab!! Should look real good when you are done, like a new truck!! terry๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
  24. That was the first version of back up alarm, remember them well!! terry
