kevin mccune Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Can someone please give me the part number for a charge air cooler to fit a 86 or so R-model in the 300HP range, thanks-Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 KEVIN If your talking about the tip turbine engines,I think there were 3 diffrent HP ratings with the tip turbine air charge cooled engines285/315/ and 350 rateings?? not shure if the part numbers vary between HP ratings? my vin # is RS786LST32474 and I have the 285HP tip turbine, you should be able to find a part number at your local Mack dealer with this vin number.Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Good point Ron. I cant fit a intercooler from a 4V 300 between the grill and the Radiator on my truck. I have about 2 1/2 inches and I need 3 1/3 to make one fit Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick harper Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 the pryometer has always been a option when a new truck was ordered. can be installed rather easy. take the pipe plug off the turbo pipe. install the thermocoupler, run the wires to the gauge in dash. use existing 2" hole in dash or cut out a hole. do not cut the long lead wires. wrap up the excess and put a tie strap around and secure. if wires are cut, the gauge will not read right. mack dealers sell a complete kit. im going on memory that part # was 1MT19320A.

RonThanks Rick&Ron-something to consider, the laws of thermodynamics teach us that the heat that is used to spin the turbo-will heat the compressed air& it would sort of like be blowing exhaust heat into the main heat exchanger-probaly would have to upsize radiator-Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed the fan clutch last year and I dont recall if it had a spacer or not?. The fan was close to the rad. I cant rember if the hood or rad had a slide adjustment but I know it was all the way back giving me all the space that is offered with OEM parts. What Intercooler did you use? I checked the thickness of a 4v 300 intercooler and It was about 3 1/2 thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to get the torque and power up on the old 237 a bit. The truck weighs 25000 lbs empty and on 9% grades even medium diesels are a menace- Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87valueliner Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 The charge air cooler on my 87 model with a 4v 350 is 3md 53b according to the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
