Nice Superliner
b61mack replied to mackboy's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
That is one of the best Superliners i have ever seen, that would make those pete guys drool. -
The C/50 Chevy uses 10 hole on the rear, you could see what a truck tire shop would give you for them.
-
I seen Macks with 8 hole pilots, as well as other trucks dont know why they came out with those, maybe weight??. Ron

If it is a double over from the factory it would be RTOO, and high gear would be up to the dash , if someone switched the gears around it would be forward, but a factory overdrive it would shift like any other trans.

I agree some with scott i know some guys that own or drives peterbilts,kenworths and alot of them have attuides, they think there sh&& dont stink, they have there own click which is all right with me.when you seen one pete you pretty much seen them all.they have the longest wheelbase,biggest sleeper,biggest stacks,they take an old truck that might be good looking and put so much junk on it that you cant tell weather it is an old or newer, i will keep my old macks, never even thought about buying anything else!

I bet you have a 2 stick 6 speed, you shift it like a 5 speed, you have a low-forward,dont know if you are to use all 5 gears in low, and 5 high gears, 5 reverse gears,someone else might be able to tell you if you can use all 5 speeds in low. Ron

"glitter" Gear Shift Knobs
b61mack replied to jeff20878's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
on the board he goes by Bigdog , he is a hell of a nice guy i met him at Macungie , if you go back 2 weeks you will find his post on steering wheels Dec. 5. Ron -
If you are lucky they will come out , you might spray some blaster around it. a crowsfoot pry bar works good if you dont have an injetor puller, there is a flat copper washer at the bottom, if it dont come out with the injector use a flat screwdriver to get the copper out. i put a little grease on the end of injector to hold washer and antiseize the rest of it so it will come out easy next time.

Can You Disconnect The Engine Shutdown?
b61mack replied to slopoke's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
alot of cities have a laws about idleing trucks,someone must have ordered an automatic shutdown, you should be able to bypass it. -
I think he is talking about the shadetrees, good looking truck, but in the sunlight i bet it would realiy shine
-

-
I was checking a mack engine #s the other day, i know an ENDT676 is a 285-300, but the one i have is a ETSZ676,i was wondering why it would read ETSZ676 if it is a 300. Thanks Ron

Macks On The Big And Little Screen
b61mack replied to Andy Wright's topic in Mack on the Silver Screen
There is a movie (Mischief) that has a B61. Ron -
I think it is a bolt on deal, i have seen a couple of B models and an R model that has a 4 valve head with a tipturbine. Ron
-
If you can find a airshift 6 speed out of around 1988 mack i think they are an overdrive transmission.
-
Those IH DT466 are darn good engines, dont know what everybody else thinks, parts should be easy to find. Ron
-
Those old 2 valve 237-300s are damn good engines, they pull there guts out and still keep running,i dout if there is a engine out there that small that is working as hard as they are, my 285 has been running high EGT for about 4 years still runs good and dosent use oil. Ron
-
Trent i have a 76 285/5 speed on a hard pull it has been running 1100-1150 EGT, on flat ground it will run 900-1000, you need to get the wiring,if you shorten or use differnt wiring it will not read right,1200 is too high ,1125 is max, i think my pump is getting worn out letting too much fuel in,you might check your air filter.
