Big Bad Dog Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I will try and get some pics tomorrow. They are both original trucks not repainted or restored. I would like to sell them to some hard core collectors to restore. Both v8s run good but the ultraliner has a coolant leek that I am not sure where it was coming from.

GOOG Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Does a Canadian camelback have a bigger spread than a normal American camelback? I'd like to see the Superliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOOG Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Never drove a 15 speed. What's it like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Horan had one MACK with a Fuller 15 speed in the early 1980's. It was basically a 10 speed with deep reduction. Shifting as I remember was Deep 1 Deep 2 Deep 3 Deep 4 Deep 5 than out of deep reduction to low 4 low 5 and shift to High Range through high 1 through 5. Never used Low 1, 2 or 3 gears. Ran it at Bromans Pit a lot and when we were at a site on Marcus Ave. Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both v8s run good but the ultraliner has a coolant leek that I am not sure where it was coming from.I am sure you have heard "It's worth what someone is willing to pay" Condition and Spec is what most of us look at. If these need restored that to me is saying they need work. Superliners go form Scrap price to BIG bucks restored. Photos will help a lot and service records. To ask what someone here, a hard core collector, is willing to pay is playing games. Sure we all what it but at a great price, but for who? I've got trucks and cars for thousands less than what was really in them. I have put stupid money into some as well. I doubt that I would get the money out of them when I go to sell but I know the going price range. The point is you have these truck and have to know what they are worth and going to bring.

GOOG Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 41 chev, getting back to the 15 speed. Does it go low enough for lowboy use? I don't like to have the clutch doing the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to have the clutch doing the work.Not to but-in, 15 is the same idea as the 8ll just a few more gears. And yes with suitable rears, I think it is excellent for lowboy work.

GOOG Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Your input is welcomed. If you have 15 speed knowledge, you're way ahead of me. I've driven a lot of different trucks, but not a 15. What I look for, is a nice low gear, and that the rest of the rears are close together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I look for, is a nice low gear, and that the rest of the rears are close together.On the road, basically a 10-speed. Extra gears only used off road or starting. For close splits, 13 or 18 would be better.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOOG Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 What is first gear ratio and final drive on Mack 12 speed? I don't mean the LO gears. I'd be interested in the same info on Mack 18 speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief doug Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 i thought a 15 you split the bottom, a 13 you split the top, and an 18 you can split both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingman Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I have two 15sp's, one a direct and one over. Nice trans for both highway and offroad. When you're light use it as a 10sp and when you need the low gears drop in deep reduction. Has 2 air splitters, one for deep reduction and one for main trans low/high. Only difference is the shifter won't let you go into deep reduction on the high side split. Also has a deeper overdrive than 13sp. Just sayin, this is my favorite trans!

ranchhopper Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Drove an RD for a couple years with a 13 speed maxi torque trans that would be my choice of trans if I could find one at a reasonable price for the superliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes with suitable rears, I think it is excellent for lowboy work.100% correct. 8LL is a 13 speed. Horans was originally a power unit for a lowboy for PRATT for 5 or 6 years til they replaced it with a Superliner, so that says it works out well for low boy work. We converted it to a 3 axle dump with a Stecco Demo body. Converting to a 13 or 15 will require probably changing rear ratios for it all to work well .41 chev, getting back to the 15 speed. Does it go low enough for lowboy use? I don't like to have the clutch doing the work.
