Fatbackandwife Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Nice ride there, love those long hood R modelsWhat are the specs on your rig? What parts do you need?TrentOk, thisis his wife Ann, so bear with me, (though I always say can't you look at it and tell what is wrong) Spec are R700 with 290 cummins with 747 and 400 pump injecectors 13 speed , he says about 2000 rpms going about 86 87 mph We do not know the rears or ratio, it has international clips and bags.Looking for clips and bags, rears and a 15 over trans and left side breather. I would love to visit web sites and see what isout their for Macks. Again nothing this way. Everything seems to be in PA and UP!!! Any help is appreciated. Been visting a while and I finally told him to post!!! Thank you allPS He did have interview for Trick My Truck!! We thought we would give them a challenge to run and handle a DAWG!!! Because they would have to fabricate all the stuff.Plus they have not done one!! Super nice people at 4 stated and CSM!! So our Fingers are crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 sounds like a diffrent set up being that its got non mack powertrain. Cant help with the Trans or rear clipas for the driver side breather. you may want to look a a superliner that has twin breathers. I know that on some macks the passenger side door does not open as far as the drivers side because the breather would interfear. Some superliners that I have driven had the drivers side breather and the drivers door hinge worked like the passenger side where it did not swing open as far, Just something to be aware of.as far as mounting the breather I would think that you could just drill holes in the needed arear to mount the brace and put some plate behind the cab wall to reinforce the aera that will hold the weight. one other thing the kick vent door may not open as the breather will block its door travel.Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
