Stopped by the local ATHS show today. Despite early signs of rain this morning it looks like they had a pretty good turnout with trucks present from several states. There was a lone Mack LH there, no one seemed to be around to ask questions of, but I did snap a few pictures.

Mack LH

I'll get a few pictures of some of the other trucks up later.

Speaking of bulletproof, I'd say all the 107 series transmissions are. I've fished thrust washers out of the transmissions and had them drive out of the shop without repairs.

Trent, you may know that Mack no longer offers them from ReMack, but I think you can get them through Mascot still. Not sure on the price but I think they carry a warranty.

i didn't mean to down your reputation, I was trying to figure out what those buttons were and accidentally clicked it. Sorry.

I added one just for good measure.

The special tool is Kent Moore J377720-A (might be a different letter at the end now). It's basically plastic rods with strong magnets glued to the ends and a set of large plastic clips. Pretty sure you could buy the parts needed to build a set at a hardware store for far less than Kent Moore wants for them.

just be proud you werent leaning over batteries at the time! randyp

My dad had that happen to him once when I was a kid, lucky he was wearing goggles cause it knocked the crap out of him, scattered wrenches across the yard where he was working. No permanent damage done thankfully.

I agree with Randy and Mark, Trent's first picture is my pick.

Holy crap!!! Had plenty thanks. I get nervous and want to quit my 401k until the reality hits me that no matter where it is monopoly money is equally worthless. Bullets are the best investment right now

The way it's been going Monopoly money may be worth more in the long run.

I guess you guys know Obama reads this to.That is when he ant playing golf.

Naw, I think Barry would probably ban him.

Zero major engine problems so far with the 2010 emissions MP8 engines, can't say about the 2010 MP7 as there are none in the area.

My best wishes to he and his family and will keep them in mind.

Likely still available from Mack.

prolly more shit than air. randyp

So you're saying you're a typical Texan, right? heh heh.just kidding, youse guys are arright!

There is a stamping on the outside of the pump (frame side when mounted)

The stamping is towards the front of the pump and identified as PLE

Stay away from the air assist clutch cable. Besides costing a lot more initially and being more expensive to replace, it is routed in a way that makes servicing other items on the engine more difficult.

It kinda looks right but I'm not sure all those word bubbles and red lines belong there.

Truthfully it's hard for me to tell by looking at the picture what line is what. I think it should be a # 8 (7/8" wrench) on the line from the tank to the primary inlet and a #8 line from the primary outlet to the transfer pump. The transfer pump outlet to the secondary inlet and the secondary outlet to the fuel pump inlet should be #6 (3/4" wrench) as is the return line to the tank. Basically larger lines are suction and primary filtration and smaller lines are pressure, secondary filtration, and fuel return to the tank.

When I pull all of the lines loose, like if I were pulling an engine, I have matched sets of plugs and caps in the common sizes that I have number stamped that I use to keep all of the lines from getting mixed up.

the piping should proceed like this:

Suction from tank to inlet on primary filter

primary filter outlet to transfer pump inlet

transfer pump outlet to secondary filter inlet

secondary outlet to fuel pump

overflow fitting on pump back to fuel tank

This way the fuel is:

A. receiving filtration prior to entering the fuel transfer pump which prevents the transfer pump from being damaged by debris picked up out of the tank

B. receiving filtration after exiting the transfer pump which prevents any wear inside the transfer pump from being passed onto the fuel pump

Peterliner....

Looks kinda like a truck and a sardine tin had a fight with some sort of bad-ass diesel powered can opener.

Possibly a damaged crank too.

OK, my mind is at ease now that I know the answers to those pressing questions.

Probably has a Dynamax wet clutch, I don't recall much about them.

All y'all know the difference between Schnieder and J.B. Hunt right?

no...we do not.

I've been waiting all afternoon for this punchline and worse yet, now I have to figger out why a Schneider truck only has one seat!

Jay, what the VIN number on your truck? I ask cuz I randomly looked up a '66 U not 10 minutes ago.

After looking at a parts book I see that you are right, there is/was a 409GC157 bolt, it just doesn't come up in the parts system currently.The parts book does not give dimensional data about the bolt however, so if you can post that information (nominal bolt diameter, thread size and threads per inch) it may be helpful.

You might try a scrap yard, but it's doubtful that you would fiind what you need. Assuming you need to get the truck working again ASAP, you might try giving these guys a call and see if they may be able to come up with something: http://arpdiesel.com/

What happened to the original bolt?

"Yeah...I guess so" said the new priest.
