Popular Post mack mhe9 Posted October 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2013 Had to run a load of trees this weekend thought what the hell throw the plates on the MH and give it a run. Well I'm not disappointed in the E6 350 cause once it gets up to speed it doesn't do to bad i could run 60 mph at 1600 rpm. but getting up to speed leaves a lot to be desired. And forgot how good an MH rides with neway even for cabovers it got to be one of the best riding trucks built. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Good to hear. Takes forever to get mine up to speed too (T2050). The ride is not too bad (spring rear) with a trailer. 65mph @ 1650rpm.

rsb502 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Damn thats sweet, I keep noticing more cool toys in your shop, I now see a forklift too, I think Im gonna need to come hang with you for a few months to get some projects done with all those toys. I did some math a 4.17 would be a swwet gear for the 350, would keep it right around 1500@68mph, they seem to pull best @ 1600 and get better fuel mileage there than lugging, if your going to swap to low pro 24.5's go to 3.86/3.89 that puts you in the same place, Im going on a .74OD in the trans. Wheres the RW at, it sacares me to see"cant wait to get the rw back" makes me think something happerned to it and its just too nice a truck. Im sure Antrim will be happy to take care of that long time to get to speed issue too, just take it to em and drop it off for a week, Oh and leave a blank check of course.

mack mhe9 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Couple years ago put in a Lype clutch from a pull truck from OH, when mack put in the sec trans, worked ok but some times just didn't seam right. Pulled it apart and the fly wheel had high spots and to make it better it couldn't be cut. New fly wheel for an E9 will cost you 1700.00 from mack. It's all back together just got to pick it up.

rsb502 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 OK, you had me nervous, did you swap to a different clutch? I have a clutch shop in Nashville that says they can rebuild my 1750 clutch to hold over 2500lb, I dont know about all that but they will do it and resurface my flywheel for $450 so I think Ill give em a try before I get into the turbo, injectors and manifold this winter.

mack mhe9 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Brand new Lype, 725.00 was ok with that, they say its rated at 2500lbs but will hold 3000, I only make 2600lbs so it sould be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Your probably doing 2600@ the wheels so your probably putting oround 3000 to the clutch in a dyno pull.

rsb502 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 How is the pedal pressure on your truck with a lype, I've never been in a cable clutch truck with one.

mack mhe9 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 There was no difference from the stock Eaton that I could fill. Maybe a little harder but not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 but getting up to speed leaves a lot to be desired. Apparently you haven't driven a B model lately LOL!!!! What I wouldn't do to have double my present HP rating.Truck look good though!! Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

mack mhe9 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Oh I respect the old timers, hrd to believe today's diesel pick ups have more HP and TQ then they did back then, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yup, when I had my new 2000 PSD, it would run circles around my B pulling the same trailer. I could run up Fancy Gap at 55+ mph, just feathering the throttle in 6th gear(OD). I'm pretty sure the ol B would be struggling at 35 mph LOL! Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Ya everyone knows me when I show up. Lots of attention on the highway too. Will never be as comfy as my dually but it is getting there.
