    Nothing compares to that sick feeling you get when something bad happens to one of your kids,happy to hear she is doing better,prayers are sent,,,

    Twelve speed over drive would be my choice,that's what I have now and also had in my last truck,never had a problem with ether one,also works great with a 350.

    Mack recommends engine oil,I use Mack oil 15-40,by the way same thing happened to me a month ago, they don't steer very well with no fluid,lol do your self a favor and check the rest of your lines.

    Also possible that the puff-limiter needs to be adjusted or maybe its not working at all,try a snap test first with parking brake on and then off,should be a lot less smoke with the brake off.

    Can you fit a 12 speed under a B,that would be my first choice.

    1,400 for a reman air compressor doesn't seem possible,why don't you see if Barry can tell you how much they cost.I would say five to six hundred sounds right.

    Yes I mean the bushing housing,and the over size bushing can work well if the bar is not worn to bad and the saddles are not worn or out of round,I used them once and they worked fine,you should have your mechanic measure every thing up and see if it's whith in spec,what ever spec is I don't know but a good spring shop should be able to help out.Were your old buhings worn all the way through?
  8. MACKS
    They do sell different size bushings,od is the same but id is smaller,but I don't know if you can buy them from Mack,check with a spring shop,also like I said in my first post check the saddles to see if there out of round if they are don't use them.
  9. MACKS
    There is no repair for a worn trunion bar,you need to mike the bar and the saddles to see if there within spec,if not replace everything with new parts,if the old bushings were worn all the way through and the bar is worn like you said than the saddles are most likley worn also and out of round,if you got the bucks I suggest you replace the bar and saddles with new parts,good luck.

    I used it in my pickup for a power steering pump leak that was really bad,the leak was at the shaft seal and this stuff worked like a charm..

    Looks good,what year is it I'd guess 85 or so with the round tanks.

    I think that isolation is the key to a quite cab,the more you can isolate the cab from the chasis the quiter it will be,but there is only so much you can do with an older truck but changing it over to an air ride cab would cut down a lot of noise also trany mounts and engine mounts if worn out will transfer a lot of noise into the cab.

    I agree,the stainless just does't do anything for the tough Mack image of the older trucks..they look prety good on the newer trucks though.

    You can check the king pins by jacking up the front end and using a bar under the tire,I drove Macks that had a lot of walk in the rear axles and neaver noticed any kind of wheel hop or shimmy,most likly your problem is in the front end,check your tie rod ends good,get someone to rack the steering wheel hard while you get under the truck and look for any free play,Good Luck

    Can you have a new one made at a drive shaft shop.
  16. MACKS
    Has anyone purchase a set of 58,000 pound mack camelback springs latley,gotta decide weather to buy new or used?
  17. MACKS
    I would say not very good,why are you asking is that the way your truck is set up?
  18. MACKS
    Obama has been very busy,giving billions of dollars away to other countrys!!!!
  19. MACKS
    They love the heavy spec Macks over there and they sure can use them butthis one stayed local,went to a friend of mine just one town over.

    I wanted to post this truck on here in case any of you guys were looking for a good working truck but it sold in one day,it served me well for 11 years but the time has come to let her go,just not enough work and the last thing I would do is let it sit aroud and rust.1983 300+,58,20,12 speed,this picture was taken today.

    Price Of Fuel

    MACKS replied to MACKS's topic in Odds and Ends

    Heading back up to those crazy prices again,4.50 a gallon on Long Island, NY,on the news last night they were saying 6 bucks a gallon for reg gas by this summer,so what will deisel be 7 bucks a gallon.
  22. MACKS
    My E-7 350 has always had low oil pressure at idle,about 12 lbs,everyone I know says the same thing about the e-7,mack says that is whithin spec and no problem that's the way they are.
  23. MACKS
    If you think it's an air leak pressurise the fuel tank and then look for fuel leaks,you can use a short piece of bike tube,tie off one end and clamp the other end over the fuel fill.
  24. MACKS
    Sean,you better keep your flashers on and get a couple of them yellow blinky lights that mount on the mirror brackets.Good luck and have a safe trip.
  25. MACKS
