James i have a 350 Bigcam the top of the radiator gets hot (140}degrees but the bottom is {45}degrees and the motor runs 180, the water dosent seem to circulate. did they have problems with all bigcam cummins waterpumps or do you think it could be air pocket in the system. Thanks Ron

Thanks again Ron

I came acrossed a 98 Mack frame with hendrickson built Mack airride,Mack rears for $1000.00 it has i think (can't hardly read it) 3.65 gears. would 3.65 rears be too high for a 237-300 with a 10 speed 1070 Mack or a 10 speed direct roadranger,can anyone tell what ratio by the vin# 1M1AA18YXWW081869. it had a 454 in it dont know what transmission. Thanks Ron

This summer there was a guy in Columbia,TN that was parting out a 69 CF 600 i bought the doors off of it. it looked like it was pretty much all there.i will look to see if i still have his name and number. Ron

All you need is a 14" clutch,a 350 cummins has about the same power as a 285 mack.i ran an R model with a 285 maxidyne 5 speed and it would run with all day long with 350 cummins 13 speed. Ron

You need to be on the other side,there is a 6" hose that connects to the aircleaner. Ron

Since it is a firetruck i would say it deflects the hot air off of the under side of the cab. i drove an F model with 300+ and the shifttower would get pretty warm from the tipturbine blowing on it. if you are not driving it alot you might leave it off. you might take the hose off the tipturbine and reach in there and see if you can turn it by hand i have seen them froze up from sitting.

The early Cruiseliner and superliner had axle mounted steering box. maybe the Hayward CA. had them and the ones made in Allentown had frame mounted. Ron

Rear End Snap/bang, What Is My Problem?
b61mack replied to allfritz123's topic in Driveline and Suspension
About 5 years ago i put airide under my B model,i had a set of 3.87 rears i wanted to install instead of the 4.42 that came with the airride. i wanted to use the power divider lock so i took the pinion housing off and took it to my Mack dealer and had it done. the 3.87 had course spline,4.42 had fine spline so i had to buy a new outer cam $350 5 years ago. the locker outer cam was about 1/2 inch longer because the notches on the front to lock in. i also had to drill and tap the back of the carrier to accept the bracket for the torque rod.

If you want to take the pinion housing off take those 12 pointed bolts out, you could take it to your Mack and have them press off and on and torque the nut for you. make sure you keep the shims lined up there are oil holes in them.while you have the side cover off make sure the 2 bolts inside are tight.

If you have a power divider lock you might try engageing it going straight and see if it still dose it,might tell you if the cam and peanuts are woreout. Ron -
Are you sure you dont have a broken bottom leaf, it is hard to tell on like 78 and newer camelbacks they have that webbing between the U bolts. do you notice any thing rubbing at the T end of the spring. Ron

Putting An Automatic Transmission On A B42 Model
b61mack replied to captbone's topic in Engine and Transmission
how bout an International DT466 and allison automatic out of an old school bus,should be able to pick it up reasonable. -
you might get a 24/24 but you wont get a 30/30 in there,as far as the park brake most trucks use 2,the Macks in the 70S came with 4 and the dump trucks still use 4 park brakes.
