Does this make sense? 200k on built mechanical 3406C13:6:1 compression Fuel timing advanced 32 degrees Peek engine turbo 600hp injectors

The back wall of my Super has a dead space around the window. It wraps around the cab to the doors. If I was interested in sound deadening and insulation what would you fellas recommend? Should I shove something up in that area? Seems like a great spot for noise to rattle around in, but I'm at a loss as to what I should use in that spot. -
I remember when they were re-doing I376 (formerly RT60) here in Pittsburgh, they had these giant guillotine apparatus's that picked up and dropped onto the roadway to break up concrete... one and only time I ever saw that, but I rarely get up from underneath cows any more. What are those things called?

Reminds me of my mom... she calls excavators "steam shovels"... and she's only 63!

One of my favorite trucks. . .ever...

.....White wheel.... nice.

Mine is putting oil into system... Bendix tu flo 501.... builds air great.... Does Bendix have the market cornered on these? Forgive my ignorance, but with the inline 6 compressors work? I found a 'like new' Haldex for $250? Any recommendation are appreciated. Ron

Thanks a bunch...
-
What are you guys using for a replacement? Watts only shows one style, and I was thinking that they originally had 6 holes poking through for air lines???? What was the part # for a 12 speed boot?

That yellow tractor bears a striking resemblance to a Volvo VT880..... or am I crazy??? -

Were there any Valueliners "600's" with Non-Mack power plants?..... Seems the few I've seen have all been the 2v 300+ (or 350?) Mack six. When was the 600 Valueliner discontinued? I've seen plenty of hybrid 700's And I have to agree, it seems a little counter-intuitive to call them Valueliner when they were more expensive to buy. One can only assume that the "Value" was only realized in the long-term, and only if you were hauling by the ton!
-
I see the grill surround dips down into the front bumper on the 700 unlike the 600. It was only the 600's that were referred to as 'Valueliners" though? I don't recall ever seeing an extended hood labeled as a Valueliner.
-
Look at that Reyco Suspension..... hard to imagine that on a Mack... Light weight again I suppose? So the RS/RL700 is an extended hood version of the RS/RL600? Am I understanding that correctly?

Able body bunk green wire.
Outbehindthebarn replied to Outbehindthebarn's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Nah, no power no where for that green wire.... I followed it from the under dash harness all the way to the bunk switch... no juice . . . I'm more interested in knowing the origin of that green wire in the dash harness... -
Good info there Josh.... My truck was originally spec'd with a six speed and the 1005 V8, but someone said along the line that the V8 was too much for a six speed (according to build sheet) and it was changed mid-production to the 12. The carpet was even butchered a little to make a hole where there shouldn't have been one. The fore shifter actually kind of interferes with the heater box. It just seemed like kind of a hatchet job.
-
Can you tell me anything about the logic involving the outboard steering box? Every other 'r' model other than the early Supers/Cruisers have some variation of an inboard steering box. Right?

Able body bunk green wire.
Outbehindthebarn replied to Outbehindthebarn's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Yes, the switch in the bunk is multi-speed. I've tried every conceivable position on the 'truck' HVAC, but can't get it to send power to the 'green' wire. I guess my question is as much about what powers the bunk heater motor? I can't find anything in the glovebox circuit breakers . . . -
I have an 1980 Mack with 12 speed, the shift levers are not in alignment with one another (the 'compound'(?) stick is about 6 inches forward).... I thought that was how 2 stick 12 speeds were arranged... then I see the 1982 spec'd the same as mine, but the shift levers were aligned like I've seen most 6 speeds. Any reason for this? When was the 12 speed introduced anyway?
-
I'm making some repairs to my sleeper, and was hoping to get the HVAC up and going on it. There are only four wires leading to the junction box under the bunk. Red, Blue, Green, White. Red and Blue are for the speakers. White is for interior lights. Green goes to the fan switch. . . my question is about the green wire (obviously). I can't seem to get that green wire to show 12 volts from the truck. I traced it back to the harness in the dash where it promptly disappears. . . Does anyone know where it goes to? What sends power to it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ron
-
I'm talking about the American version.... are the cabs and hoods specific to those trucks? What was the general intention with that particular model? Looks like the cab sits higher on them. . . I see the steering box is mounted on the outside of the frame too. . .?
