I have herd that Michelin recaps are the best,Pedro are they one peice caps or do they have seams,also goodyear recaps there own tires with the orignal tread in a one peice cap neaver tried eather one but I like the idea of a one peice cap.
-
More than likley the dash valve is bad,had the same problem a few times and had to replace the dash valve.Good Luck
-
If possible you should ask them if they can give you all the same brand casing,that way all your tires will be uniform and exactly the same size.
-
It sounds like your problem from the start was an air leak or a few air leaks,I don't understand why you can't find it,start at the compressor and work your way through the whole truck spraying every line and valve with soapy water use dish soap it works the best.Good Luck

Try a brazeing tip on your torch so you can pinpoint the heat to where you need it.

Video: The Buckeye Bulldog
MACKS replied to Barry's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Nice,looks like he burned some fuel on that pull. -
Did you mean to say 1/16 instead of 1/6,eather way you should have 0 to very little side to side movement in the yoke and spline,also sounds like you need to find a new driveshaft shop,the guys I use told me that slight up and down play is ok but any side to side is a no no. Good Luck
-
If it's not rusted yet and that sounds like what your saying, I have seen a few guys that filled the gutter in with silicone and it seamed to prevent any rust problems.
-
That sounds good at least the clerk get something for all his running back and forth BUT its minus 2 not plus 2 and that comes to 25 dollars paid for the room by three guys,30 first laid out then they got 3 back minus the 2 bucks the cherk kept = 25 dollers paid by three guys .The catch is the puzzle makes you think you have to add two dallars when in fack you have to subtract.
-
Ok lets just say that when the manager found out that the clerk kept two dollars he got mad and told him to give the three guys the two bucks back,so the clerk decided to give one guy a dollar and the other two got 50 cents each, so now one guy ended up paying 8 dollars and the other two ended up paying 8.50 each,so 8+8.50+8.50=25,no more missing dollar.

I had the same problem many years back,pulled the heads and the first thing I saw was small peices of rings imbeded in the top of one piston,you know the rest of the story.

Whats the difference in these motors,some engines are listed as Maxidyne some as Econodyne some are listed with boath names such as EM6-350 Econodyne.I know what a maxidyne is but what does econodyne mean.Also what does Thermodyne mean. I'm thinking it has something to do with the charge air cooling.Thanks for any info.
-
Here are some torque specs for the maxidynes,300-1125@1260rpm, 285-1080@1200rpm,237-906@1200rpm,the torque specs for the econodyne are the same as the maxidynes,some engines are listed as EM6-350 Econodyne,I know that the M stands for Maxidyne,so I guess econodyne is an added feature to the engine,maybe it used less fuel or something.I'm gonna start another thread on this to see if we can get more info on this.
-
just heard on the news,bush says he's gonna step in and bail them out.
-
iI agree with everything you say,but in his post he goes on to say that the engine is a econodyne and not a maxidyne,eather way more than enough power for a single axle dump,I have a book around here if i can find it,I'll check the specs just for the heck of it.
-
tHIS IS JUST MY OPION,THE 237 WILL OUT PREFORM THE 300 ECONODYNE THE 237 IS A HARD PULLING ENGINE RIGHT DOWN TO 12OO RPM,AS FAR AS THE TRANY GOES THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FIVE AND A SIX SPEED IS THE LOW HOLE WITCH IS ONLY USED FOR OFF ROAD.bY THE WAY I WOULD THINK THAT IF YOU NOW HAVE A FIVE SPEED YOUR ENGINE WOULD BE OR SHOULD BE A MAXIDYNE AND NOT A ECONODYNE.
-
It's called a six speed,a five speed has no low,and low is only used in first gear.

Finding Pre Heaters
MACKS replied to macktruckEd62's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Like HK said the tank type are easy to install and they work great,I have one on an old payloader and it still works after 20 years,also there is a magnetic type that you just stick on the block or oil pan and plug it in,check on e-bay there are always a few for sale there. -
Before you move the bar,scripe a mark in case you want to move it back where it was,I was told by moving it foward the engine would get more fuel but I never tryed it.I have no idea what number 3 does. Good Luck

Anyone Swap Out A 12,000# For A 20,000# Axle?
MACKS replied to diesel's topic in Driveline and Suspension
I would say look for a cl front end,they came with the heavy front ends and rears.I have a 20,000 axle in my cl and I have to tell you it rides a little rough when the truck is empty. -
Hard shifting in cold weather is a common problem with the 12 speed trany,a lot of guys inculding myself warm the truck up with the splitter in nutral and the stick in third gear, this helps alot,also make sure you have the right lube in the trany,if it's to heavy your going to have a lot of problems when it gets cold. Hope this helps,Good Luck
-
What HK said,you just have to remember,engine speed must match trans speed,try lightly scratching the gears while raising or lowering the rpm you will be able tell by sound and feel when its just right to slide into gear.
-
Not 11/24 but I bought 8 12/24 a few months ago,the best deal I could find were continantal at 470 each.

Wow! Didn't Know These Could Be Worth So Much!
MACKS replied to Rob's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
LOL,I just reread your first post,I guess I diden't get enough sleep last night or maybe to much.but your right gold plated mirrors would look sweet along with a gold dog on the hood. -
