Vladislav 3,006 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Looks in a really great shape. Besides restored interior and non-rusted rear wall of the cab the frame represents very good condition. Still can't figure the type of the engine it has. Something like a non-intercooled EM6 of 225 or so HP? Edited January 11 by Vladislav 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to post Share on other sites

I do believe that is correct, I should know something later this week, the shipper should be picking it up either Thursday or Friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, if a turbo is spinning as described it would mean your missing most if not all of you motor internals Paul 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark T 82 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Holy cow (lol) just a though. Any spin'n at all with no oil isn't gonna help it. Guy found a nice old Mack there, I'd like to see him fire it up with no troubles and have some fun with it. I doubt that truck has ever moved at the speed that Peterbilt'll be drag'n it down the road at. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post AMGeneral 74 Posted January 21 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 21 Evening Folks, I am happy to report the B arrived safely this morning, and with a couple fresh batteries, fired right up with no issues. It is a 237 Mack w/jakes, and looks to be a really low time engine, I drove it off the trailer and the last mile home with no problem. Pic of it sitting in the driveway next to my F250 service truck. 10 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
