Joey Mack Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Heck I just spent $75 on one Midliner book similar in size to the ones in the big binders.. If you can get the whole mess for under $500.00, I would say you are doing good.. jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 heck, I have 2 sets of Mack tranny manuals, plus a bunch more. I'm only wanting $550.00 / set U.S. shipping is free... but no takers.. so I guess they will sit in my library.. They are worth much more, but I feel like i'm realistic.. I know what I pay for book's and I use them as well.. anyway... I hope you score, Bob.... Jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I paid 60 bucks for 3 huge Mack manuals they cover everything but that was in 1983 any repair manual usually start around 40 bucks… Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I work for Caterpillar dealer and it is nice to have a set of manuals but working there I have access to sis 2.0 any information I need is just a click away makes it easy to find anything Quote If your going to be a bear be a grizzly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 looking at the prices listed here can sure be discouraging for me .thinking of the stack of Mack service manuals/ operator books , detroit diesel, cummins manuals etc i had . most of which were given away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted March 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) yes sir.. I have looked up service manuals recently, and for my Isuzu NPR. the 600 page book was 0ver $500.00. other books were over $1000.00 in 2 books,, anyway, I buy instant downloads, I got my Isuzu book for $40.00 put it on 2 cd's, and in my shop laptop.. I have a bunch of them, cummins, detroit, mack E-9 etc.. the Cat 3406 E book's (3 of them) are $100.00 ea. for the download... Cat always has to wave their d!ck.... anyway, cheap easy way to get the info... jojo Edited March 13, 2022 by Joey Mack Poor spelling 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 The only ones I have had give to me was a Cummins nta855 service manual and Detroit 60 series. I was sooo happy to get them and I cherish them like gold. It’s funny how most people don’t see the big deal and I see it like a 12 year old find his dads hustler.

Joey Mack Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I was re arranging my book cabinet when I found these, I new I had them, just not this many,, hell I know I gave many of these away over the years.. It was a trip down 'Camshaft' memory lane... jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 This was back when the cam kit was complete, lifters, eup lifters, thrust washer, the 2 stupid studs for the A/C bracket, the book, i think a tube of Mack gray RTV, was there 12 EUP bolt's also? All in one box... maybe the RTV was handed out with each kit... Hell I forget.. jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
