Chrome muffler for R model
MACKS replied to convoyduel's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Try Iowa80,but there a bit pricy.. -
I broke down and bought this mower five years ago and never looked back,built to near commercial specs,installed the mulching kit and haven’t raked a leaf since and let me tell you I have a chit load of leaves every fall,it just pulverize them,awesome machine..
-
Just looking online,looks like they are in fact making the Roadmaster in China,still an American Co but manufacturing there product in China..
-
Not so sure about that,cooper is an American Co. they may be making some tires in China but not sure,I ran three set of the Roadmaster s and they lasted just as long as the continentals you just bought,I like the continental a lot there a nice wide tire especially for the steer axel,could you share where u bought them,that’s an awesome price..
-
You paid 532 a piece,I just got two 12/24.5 delivered for 1500 they were 654 + tax + fet tax + 20 delivery,not at all happy with the price but I needed them for steer tires now..😤
-
I don’t miss those big ars tube tires one bit..lol
-
Ya get what ya pay for right,there to pricy for me and the kind of work I do..
-
Lol,we have one ridiculous bad concrete rd here,other then that no problem,it’s all short haul work..
-
Wow I never even priced Michelin,doubt they even make a 12/24.5 but that’s an amazing difference in mileage..
-
Wow,that’s a lot of miles in a dump truck,right now I’m doing 120 to 200 miles a day and that’s enough for me..lol. I’ll be 71 in August..
-
Damn you guys do some trucking out there,I’m running about 25000 miles a year,well 9 months in the year..
-
That’s strange,I wore out three set of Roadmaster tires front and drive and got over 50000 each set and no issues what so ever and my truck is a short wheel base..
-
I wasn’t sure where they ar made but I like them,I was buying them on line from simple tire,last week they were 600 for 12/24.5 and now almost 700,trying to contact them to get a good deal,I’ve been getting 50,000 + miles out of them witch I think is pretty darn good on a dump truck,they were delivered free to my door..
-
I run 12/24.5 all around on my dump,never had one problem with the cooper Roadmaster front or drive,I think there made in China like the Double coin🤷♂️
-
Anybody running Double Coin tires, i’ve been using Cooper Roadmaster but damn they jacked up the price now,like everything else?
-
Last brake job on this truck about four years ago,shoes were about 60 each and drums were 150 each,there probably double that now,will find out soon,I remember the bolt on shoes in the past but there all riveted now unless you have a set of your own I guess u can still buy pads,the core charge is 250 per shoe if your own shoes are damaged,you also have to buy the bolt kit for the drums and the brake kit with springs pins and bushings,and new s cams if needed and seals,gets very pricy..

E-6 4valve revs up very high upon start-up
MACKS replied to Joey Mack's topic in Engine and Transmission
My problem may have been different not sure but when I started it cold it would race up and then come back to normal,it was getting worse every time I started it,I would pull the back cover and have a look.. -

MACKS replied to Joey Mack's topic in Engine and Transmission
That happened to one of my trucks years back tho much older and not a four valve,it was the governor at fault,I remember taking the back off the pump and replacing something round,lol.. -
Getting ready to do a complete brake job on the drive axles on my 96 cl with 58 rears,anybody price parts lately for drums and the big re-lined shoes,just want to get myself ready for sticker shock..lol
-
That is awesome,you should take it to The Shark Tank..
-
That’s amazing you guys did that job in two hours,awesome when every goes as planed and you know what your doing..
-
Rick,you should start soaking the bolts on the insulator pads with penetrating oil now..
-
The bar on 44 rears is part of the stand,not removable..
-
Agree one hundred percent,on a side note do u know if they make oversized bushings to compensate for a worn trunnion bar,just a thought..
-
That would be the way to go if u got the bucks to throw at it, take it apart and see what the bar looks like,you’ll have to measure it and see if it’s within spec or at least close..
