Yes still can get from Mack expensive. My boss just replaced floor pan on their 2002 RD.

Thanks. My boss is going up to New Hampshire this week. Picking up two of them.

Northern New Jersey/Rockland County New York.

Hey guys,

  What was the discussion thread for the part number for the aftermarket heavy duty style bumper for the Superliner? My boss and I are looking for one for my new daily ride. I'll post some pics in a bit.

  Cheers, Rob.

The reason your mechanic won't do it again is that these engines have a lot of duct work to get to the valve covers. 2 sets of intake pipes, one for intake and one for the tip turbine. They go together like a puzzle. Crankcase breather crossover tube on top of the valve covers, and the valve cover gaskets are a right PITA! Especially if you have a Jake brake.  We have had to straighten our valve covers numerous times, we've learned you have to torque them up by the book to keep them from leaking. They deform with the slightest amount of overtorque

That wasn't really the case at the time because he kind of liked the truck and we had it in his shop for a while and it was kind of his pet project with us. That's why at the time I got the price list from Mack for all the parts. Of course some things I made not have needed but the parts man I knew very well just kind of gave me the full gammit.

thats a sweet looking truck. I would be proud to own that one..  i assume he said it was the last adjustment because it looked like there wasnt  any more adjustment left?  Just curious what he saw.. jojo

Yes he is very knowledgeable and helped with working on the truck back in 05 when we had it in his shop all fall and winter. He said there wasn't anything left. 

I got a price years ago from Mack for all the parts (like a Chinese menu lol) when my mechanic did the last valve adjustment on her and he said that would be the last time he would do it. The price was atrocious then. If I was going to keep the truck and put it back on the road I would do the swap. Yea it wasn't just going to be the cam but everything else with it. She pops slightly through the air cleaner and ticks away but runs. The pic is when we sere still running her. Like I said the truck has been sitting.

Can't get the cam through the dealer anymore, I'd hang on to that motor for parts. We have one from 81 that's given parts to most of our fleet.

Yea, that is what I'm leaning towards. Better selling point to keep spare with truck. This Spring I will get it going and put first dibbs on here first. 

Thanks for the input guys. I won't part out that motor. If anything I'll keep it because I'm probably going to sell my R model this year. The 676 in my truck needs a cam. I would sell including the motor and some other parts I have. Truck has been sitting and I have to get my International going. 

Howdy been a while. I currently have as a spare motor for my R Model dump another ENDT 676 283 HP. Somebody I know is restoring their 85 RD steel hood single axle that has the 2 valve 300 plus in her. Will certain parts such as the heads and whatever else be interchangeable to work on that 300? Question is he wanted the heads I told him I would sell him the motor. He is interested but I wasn't sure till I got more info. Any input would be appreciated.

  Cheers, Rob.

Inside the plastic surge tank is a ring with a float. The low coolant sensor sits in a pocket not touching the coolant it reads the ring. They go bad and get stuck on the bottom so the sensor thinks it is low on water. Can't get to it have to replace the plastic surge tank. Just had to do this on my 2010 Granite that I drive daily. It would also derate the motor. Very annoying.

 Cheers.

Yep agreed.

Abreu Truck Service in Newark NJ is a big importer and repairer of Scania. A lot of dump truck guys still run refurbished Scanias in that area. (973)824-1450. 

  Cheers.

I'll check into it.

To do it the proper way there is also a piece on the trans a plate of some sorts that has to be changed. When I worked at Mack the mechanics did quite a few of these on new trucks that were ordered as 13's and customers changing their minds. This was back in the late nineties.

  Cheers.

That machine is badass.

John's B model here too he chromed the snap rings on.

That sounds like a good idea, would you know ballpark how much something like that would cost?  My options were try to find chrome pop on caps for it, leave it black or leave it black with chrome axle nut covers, but I'll leave chrome plating it as an option too depending on the price. Nowadays in my area (Delaware), you usually see these steel nosed trucks as just rusted up site trucks that don't get hardly used on road and live mostly on a jobsite with minimal use. It would be nice to shine and polish up the ol truck and make it really stand out to all the other trucks on the road

John Mauro(RIP)  told me since this is his truck at the time  that when he got it new he took off the original cones and bought a new set from Mack since they  come unpainted and had them chromed and then siliconed the shit out of the backs of the center parts that always weep. You gotta remember this was like 1989 who knows what it would cost now. He also chromed the front snap rings too. There is a guy from NY in my area his name is John P Noto and he has a restored B model that he not too long ago had the rims and snap rings nickle plated which looked really cool. Look his name up on internet his B model should show up.

You can have the center cones chromed.
