Didn't work on these much! It may be rare but at 20yrs old and approaching 1mil, I have 1 more that needs a cam. Can't get them though, N/A from cummins gotta go aftermarket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM6285 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) MACK TRUCKS also needs to do an UPGRADE on its headlamps. Replaced all of them... On all 4 MACK GU813s But, they still are rubish. Poorly built headlamps from TYC. They get foggy, yellowish and tarnished so easy and they get water inside.

Onyx610 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 We haven’t had any issues that you’re seeing with the headlights. Even after it seeing salt from plowing and acid (zep alumabrite) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy some “Off” insect repellent with “Deet” . Spray on headlights and wipe off. Makes them like new. Our company won’t buy new headlight housings so we use Off. It must be Off with Deet though.

mdixon Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Some lined up after today's runs, not all of were back yet. I'd change the clutch setup on these CXU613s. Trying to adjust the free play on a bound up linkage sucks, and changing a broken air shaft roadside is awful.

Onyx610 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) You can delete those stupid air assist clutch’s out to just cable. We’re you adjusting clutch or freeplay? Edited December 2, 2022 by Onyx610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup by one kit you'll see what is going on and you can do the rest of the fleet quite cheaply by your own ingenuity! its not rocket science! won't cast hardly anything! an hour or two of your time!

EM6285 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Here is the thing I HATE most on new MACK TRUCKS... That bump-forward center console at the dash. Very uncomfortable ride for a 3 men crew. Whoever sits at the middle gets the worst ride. MACK TRUCKS needs to fix this "lump" on their dash-board design... And why MACK TRUCKS needs to cram 1/4 of the engine under the cab? I wish they will go to a flat firewall cab structure with ALL THE ENGINE IN FRONT OF IT and not part of the engine under the cab.
