Thanks for the replies. Im looking for cabs. Anyone know of anyone with one?

Thanks, I'll check them out.

So this dumptruck got put on its side on a soft shoulder. Wondering if anyone has any input on whether or not this a reparable injury for offroad use. It parallelogramed the cab slightly such that the driver's window is popped out in the top corner, but other than that the damage is all on the passenger side. Always a good idea to remember that end dumps can't side dump! Thanks.

Looking for a used CL700 Day cab. The truck has the E9 engine. Would like one with the dash/doors intact but am open to pretty much any option. Thanks

Looking for an E9 head... old one cracked and dropped a valve seat.

I have a 92 CL-700 with an E9-500. The engine brake works great when the engine isn't super warm, (i know, not the time to be running the jakes) but when it gets to normal operating temperature, it won't turn on. When I let off on the pedal, I can hear a buzzing coming from the dash but nothing happens. Occasionally if I leave it for a long time, the jake will eventually come on, but not always. If I leave the truck idling with the switch on, the jake will randomly come on and the engine will sound like a drowning water buffalo. It's a great truck other than that, leaves all our other ones in the dust, but I'm scared that I'm gonna end up with an unwanted hood ornament made by Ford, GM, or Chrysler if i can't get this brake working.

I have a e7-427 in my '96 CH-613. The Jake on it is total crap. Based on this thread, I want to try Lucas in it to help that... I live in Alaska and it gets freaking cold in the winter here. Does the Lucas make the oil super viscous in extreme cold? We run pan heaters and synthetic 5W-40, but at -20 things get awfully sticky. Any info would be welcome.

Cable could be the problem... Has the linkage been greased regularly?

Thanks guys, works like a charm.

We just got a CL with the E9-500 in it. Big ballsy engine on a big ballsy truck. I love it. It makes a little ticking sound when it idles, and I was told to do a valve adjustment on it. Easy enough, but having never worked on a V-8 before, i have no clue how the cylinders are numbered... I'd greatly appreciate any insight on the matter. Thanks a bunch.

It's leaking all around the pan where the gasket is. I can't tell if it's above or below the gasket. It's worse towards the rear of the engine.

I have a e7-427 in a '96 Ch613. It has one of those rubber vibration-damping oilpan gaskets. The oilpan started leaking through the gasket, so I got a new gasket and new rubber washers for the bolts and replaced it like they said, taking care to clean the heck out of everything and make sure it was dry. It got a little better, but still leaked. I tried it again... This time I reused the new gasket because the book says they're reusable... it was worse. Any tips or tricks? I thought of using some of that spray gasket-maker... just a thin layer to seal 'er up. Haven't tried it yet, wanted to see if anyone had a better idea. Thanx.

...turns out it was in the oilpan.

I was reinstalling the injection pump on my E7-427 and I dropped one of the washers into the timing cover. Is there any way to retrieve it without pulling the engine outa the truck.. I tried sticking magnets down there and all such things... no dice. I'm thinking of taking the oilpan off and seeing if I can get to the gears from underneath... Any suggestions?

I have a 96 Mack CH613 with a E7-427. From time to time, the speedo will all-of-a-sudden start reading exactly half the speed I'm going. It did it for a couple weeks, and then the problem went away for the most part, but occasionally it will just drop down to half-speed. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to it. Any suggestions?
