    Look at the wire harness that goes to the head lights,start at the head lights and trace it back.i had a problem on my 96 cl with both sides right in the front of the truck just a foot or so from the head lights.

    I am 100 per cent sure about the three air bag set up,I drove his truck once and noticed how it leaned a little when corning,thats when i looked under the cab,I think the truck was a 95,next time i go to mack I'll ask them.

    Have a question about the cl cabs,I have a 1996 cl factory dump,the cab has one huge air bag in the back of the cab and two solid tupe mounts on each side of the front,I know a friend of mine had a simaler year cl and all three mounts were air bag, any one know when they switched and why or could you buy them eather way,his truck was also a factory dump.

    If the tires are a different diamator your going to have a problem,move two of the new tires to to the rear axle opposit side and see what happens.

    The phone call interups the cb,no need to key the mike to talk once you push the bluetooth buton on the mike your call is conected and you just talk and listen throught the cb speaker or if you have a n external speaker like i do it sound even better,when the call ends your back on cb mode..

    No headset when the phone rings through your cb speaker you just press a button on the mike and you are conected,today i just left my mike hung up on the consol and talked, my callers said that i sounded great and there voice was clear as a bell,sounds so much better than the phone its self,i have it paired to a galaxy 5 and it reads my text messages to me also as they come in,I love it..

    This radio is awsome,the bluetooth is crystal clear and so easy to pair with your phone,anybody else using one?

    Should also be a switch on the inj pump,make sure your throttle is coming all the way back and activating the switch.

    I honestly dont know,i never messed with mine,truck runs great the way it is.

    you need the air pressure to go to the puffer,by disconnecting that line the puffer wont let the rack open,as the turbo builds air pressure in the manafold it goes to the puffer valve and lets the rack in the pump open,in other words to by pass this type of puffer you would need air pressure going to it all the time.

    check out the easy stuff first,fuel lines or lift pump,keep in mind just a pin hole air leak in one of the fuel lines could starve the engine for fuel..good luck
  13. MACKS
    That line comes from the manafold right,when the air pressure builds in the manafold it goes through that line to the puffer and alowing the rack in the pump to open,that means the puffer is working assuming your getting enough air to it for it to open fully,if your turbo is working ok and air filter is not plugged and that air line is clear then i just think you have a severe fuel restriction problem,hope you figure it out,youll be amazed how that truck pulls a load down the road.
  14. MACKS
    The puffer on these engines are very different from what these guys are talking about,im not sure how to dissable it and to be honest i dont think thats your problem,does your truck have and air throttle like mine if make sure its working right,have some one watch the the lever on the pump when you apple the throttle from inside the cab.
  15. MACKS
    Try this test and see what happens,warm up the engine and with the maxi brakes applied snap the throttle to full open,you should see a nice puff of black smoke come out the stack,then with the brakes released do it again,now there should be little to no black smoke.If you dont get that black smoke with the brakes applied I would look for a fuel restriction or maybe a pin hole leak in one of your fuel lines.I will take a look at mine and see how its hooked up,will check in here later.

    I have the same plow truck from nyc same year same engine same tranny,I could pull a house down with this truck it has amazing power for a 270 hp,pulls the same empty or loaded it just goes and its not turned up at all as far as i know..

    The average anual pay for an over the road truck driver is 50,000,is that right?
  18. MACKS
    Its well worth the money to have this done at a reputable sping shop!do both sides with new springs,tunion bushings and rubber isloaters..
  19. MACKS
    Nice the interior looks mint,good luck with it.

    As far as I know the five and six speed were designed to be used with a maxi torque engine,never ever heard of anyone trying to split the upper gears in a six speed,the low hole is just that,a low low range.i mean how fast can the truck even go in fifth low,to go from fourth direct to fifth low would be impossible in my opinion..

    if the collars are sticking don't hit the adj nut with a hammer like a lot of guys instead grab the collar with a pair of vice grips and twist side to side while puilling up also clean it up good with a wire brush and air pressure..
  22. MACKS
    This might sound funny but on a truck that old check the floor boards for rust and weakness make sure the brake pedal mount and floor boards don't move when brake is applied, you would be surprised what a difference it will make..good luck

    I see a lot of trucks with the big convex mirror mounted in front of the cab hood,ugly as hell but serves a good purpose,thinking about mounting a smaller convex on my bumper guide pole.
  24. MACKS
    Yes they are a lot of us are using the old grandfathered down state permits, these are the permits that will not renew unless we meet the new requirements and convert to tri axles.No way in hell am I going to let them take my grandfathered permit away!
  25. MACKS
    For a tri axle with a type two permit its 79000,not sure about a quad axle..
