So, why I am posting the way I am is because I was trained by Mack, and have built a few dozen Mack rears.  Of course, I have not seen all issues, but fixed many. I am also a good study and own the books that I was schooled with, 3 sets, to be honest. My library is large. With respect, Jojo

I have done a fare few also I was schooled by the hard knocks university! Just the odd proper. Tool and other wise had to get by on intuition! And luck!

Working in a dealership had stronger requirements.  I adhered to the rules. Hard knocks learning was happening anyway, but I took the schools seriously.  I was limited to Mack, but did work on other brands.  Take it for what it is.

I was never offered schooling ! None of the dealers I have worked for could afford to pay to send folks and when they did it was never a hands on guy! I just sucked it up and fumbled thru!  Was just expected to get it done! I work for Mack Canada  , and 4 other dealerships over the years! Exposed to lots of other makes also the just fix it aditude !

I've personally not built any mack rears from a bare case to a full rebuild, but its something I want to do. I've made repairs,  but never been fully i to a mack diff.Gear work is my favorite kind and I actually enjoy transmissions and gearboxes. 

 

I have 4 Macks, including this survivor I saved the other day.

Good find looks in decent shape! V8 ?

I wish! Truck is in real good shape, needs a bumper because the chrome peeled, paint is getting chips and needs to be repainted,  but frame and everything is solid.  Very clean. Interior is black level III and in really good shape. E6 350 Mack and dynatard, Mack T2010 transmission, 38k 4:42 Mack rears on Neway. 196" wheelbase. I was lucky to get it from a friend of mine thats had it forever.

I have an 88 R model also and a CH. I do have a few old parts trucks, but I dont really count those.  I love old Macks up to early 2000s, 2002 or so, but there's just something about those old cabover Mack that I really really enjoy.  I love the cruiseliner but the MH Ultraliner is my favorite Mack. Growing up around a few of them i think is what done it.

 

Both of my MH cabovers are projects, but still working trucks if needed.

Growing up with them will do that to you for sure.I first saw a Cruiseliner in the film Convoy,I was 14 years old and swore there and then That somehow,someway some day Id own one.That day came 48 years later when I got mine last year.Funny how the dream never left me....
