  1. Hello all,

    I've been having a hell of a time trying to find the correct pipe for my 1986 Superliner. I did manage to find a picture of the exact pipe that I have on some else's 89 Superliner from this forum.

    I have posted the picture. It is 4" in diameter and I need one ASAP .Mine is leaking pretty bad. I ordered an MK-21698 but it was not the correct one.

    It would have probably worked if the flange was on the opposite side. I will check back later to see if you guys found somthing.

    Thank you all again.

  2. I have a 1986 superliner that I'm trying to convert or should I say already converted to an Air Ride cab. But Not complete. I bought the whole roller setup only to find out that those rollers will not bolt up to my hood becuase I seem to have a different setup which nobody in the world seems to have seen before. Please tell me what goes here because I really need to put some type of rubber pads or somthing and weld some brkt's to the fire wall so the hood doesn't bounse itself to death. here's what I have.

  3. OH WOW...thanks for answers. I decided to check back to see if anyone responded today. And yes LMACK ATTACK we did meet at the magio truck stop. glad to hear from you.

    Well the brackets I have dont look like the one in the pictures BUT they work exacltly the same just a slightly different design. I thing for sure is that the ones i bought in the junk yard are made out of solid metal and the ones on my truck seem to be out of cast metal. both are very strong and similar and bolt on the same way. I think mine were made to clear my large tanks (105 gal each side). definetly OEM brackets.

    oh and yes I have the arched bar bolted on the frame brackets just like you buddy. And anybody have any pics of these so called hood rollers for movement?

    Thanks guys. also it would be easier to email me at work RRODRIGUEZ@EMT333.COM Becuase i get the emails instantly.

  4. Hi guys , It's been a while but I'm back on the Air cab prodject and have a bit of a problem. I bought an OEM kit from a Rmodel and they sent me the 2 main brackets that hold the Cab in the front.( see pics of the juck yard truck).

    My question is,Can I keep my currect brackets even thow they are a bit different? Also The brackets They sent have a treaded rod that runs from bracket to bracket almost like some type of sway bar. So how hard is ir going to be to convert my truck over to air cab? If i can keep my current brackets and due without the rod then it should be a snap.

    but if those style brackets and that treaded rod play a major role in the function of that air cab suspension then I'm screwed becuase they don't look like they would clear my tanks and battery box. If anybody has pics of their setup I would greatly appreciate it. I will attach a pic of my truck so you can see my tank and battery box setup.

  5. Ok so i took your advise on the RTX-14609B. We swaped them out yesterday. My mechanic tells me that he's having trouble getting it in to gear from a stand still.He thinks it could either be 2 things.

    1) the clutch pressure plate being bad or wrong clutch to begin with.

    2) or the fly wheel is under spec and has to be replaced.

    Can you please tell me what is the proper clutch for my application? I called mack and gave them my specs and they recammended the clutch we put in. I'll get that # for you soon. All i know is that it was a 14" ,4 paddle ,8 springs with 1400-1450 pounds of torque.

    I have a glider kit so my VIN will be usless.

  6. The 14609A is a direct, or 1 to 1, you need a 14609B which is a .73 overdrive. you would still have a reasonably low first gear, and it is common enough to be reasonably priced. An 8LL would be even better, you could have the same overdrive ratio, and deep reduction. They are somewhat pricey though.
