  1. I saw a quick clip on the news this morning Biden and co are talking about approving oil drilling in Alaska,a lot of drilling,where the hell did that come from..
  2. Different trans but I had the same problem with my 12 speed and it was the shift cylinder on top of the tranny that was causing it,new o rings fixed the problem..
  3. That totally makes sense..
  4. My thoughts exactly,bran new ok but a little worn,no way,I’ll just keep on pumping grease but I will now jack up the back axel like the book says,well at least sometimes ..lol
  5. 1985,so what do u think about gear oil or some other liquid type lube in there,would it even stay in and obviously any grease u pump in there will mix with it right..
  6. It also says to jack up rear axle to remove the load on the bushing before servicing..
  7. According to this we’re all wrong,suppose to use gear oil I guess in the end cap anyway,make any sense to anybody?
  8. This is what the book shows..
  9. The toughest and in my opinion the best suspension ever invented for heavy trucks,there must be something from Mack as to how to service it..
  10. Grease fitting in both ..
  11. Never had one of those on any of my five Macks, all had 58 rears and all of them had a grease fitting there,just saying.🤷‍♂️.
  12. Good for you,that’s the way to go,get it done right and don’t look back..
  13. Same here,if the bushings and bar are not worn what good would it do since there is zero movement plus there are grooves cut in the bushings for the grease to flow into and move all around the bar,I just grease the chit out of mine and yes it gets past the seal and even squirts outofthe trunnion cap a little,works for me she’s tight as a drum..
  14. Had this problem on my 12 speed,it was the o rings in the shift cylinder on top of the tranny,see if u can get an o ring kit for it before taking it apart,mine were very hard to match up,I did it twice to install the correct o rings..
  15. Beautiful,I’m thinking 237 with a 5 or 6 speed..
  16. Well keep us posted,would love to have a decent engine brake on my 96 cl,as I said it’s pretty useless as is..
  17. I guess if the cam is for a dynadard a jake won’t even work,is that correct?
  18. Dynatard brakes are pretty useless in my opinion,jake is the way to go if u can..
  19. With the truck at idle spray some starting fluid on your charge air connections and hoses and pipes..
