Lmackattack Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hood scoops.I have seen a few R models with the rearward facing scoop placed just over the turbo. was that an option or was used on specific models. I assume it is to remove the heat produced from the turbo and help air flow over it?? I have seen them on R600s, 700s U models, and DMs just wondering the reason behind them..another thing I have seen diffrent on Rs was on my friends RS700 hood with a diffrent hood line on top of the hood. He has the lines that runs along the sides of the hood and come up top behind the dog then the lines turn back towards the cab in a "V" shape and end near the top edges. I have seen Valuliners have this but never RS700s or other models. Most of the hoods I have seen just run a line across the top behing the dog to the other side.just a few observations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 under the scoop should be filter and duct that feeds air to the tip turbine. if you happen to run across a junker with that set-up i want it for my next project. scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thats intresting scott. never saw under the hood of a R with a Hood scoop. I thought all tip turbines got air from the air cleaner from the 2nd air tube?? Thats how my tip turbine is set up.. Learn something new every day. Havent seen any in a junk yard but will keep my eyes open for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Maney Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I believe the hood scoop lasted until frontal air cooling was introduced in 1981. I'll do a little research and verify the years they offered the hood scoop. I have been picking them up when I can, I always liked the look of them. They were used on all of the conventional models including the steel front butterfly hoods.RS, RL and Valueliners used a hood that carried the bodyline back the top of the hood toward the cab. I liked this arrangement, it allowed for some creative striping.Doug Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

b61mack Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I think 75 was the last year for the 285 with a hood scoop, i have a 76 285 it has the 2 pipes going to the aircleaner. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 if you take a look in my album you'll see that almost every Mack DMM have one. under the hood it's pretty much like on the pics so could be great to find a DMM for your project! I think they use it only with 2 valve engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Costley Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Ive seen them on quite a few different models,some that seemed identicle except for the scoop.I was always under the impression that it was just a heavy duty option, not a standard production piece.John.

Doug Maney Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 As it has been stated, I verified today that the hood scoop was used on the R until '75-76 model year. The changeover may have allowed you to end up with either a hood scoop or two pipe air cleaner. The reason for going away from the scoop was to eliminate debris from getting sucked into the air cooler. Heavier models such as DM, DMM and RM used the scoop into the '80's. I didn't verify the last year I saw them on the Mack calendars but I probably will just for giggles. Doug Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

InKWtrucker Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hi There Guys!

Doug Maney Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yes, the hood scoops were used on the 300+, it was the air intake for the tip turbine. An R-700 was not only a Hayward built truck, they were built in Pennsylvania as well. The western built trucks were labelled as such and most if not all were RL or RS models with aluminum components. Knowing how was at the time I would think that they may have built some standard spec trucks in the western plant. I am going to start a new thread on this subject. Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

MidniteMechanic Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I believe that trucks built at Hayward used a five digit VIN. I know my '74 was. Oddly the only thing aluminum is the doors. The rails and everything else is steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 wonder why the alum panels and doors never cought on with mack? Steel is stronger but if weight is a big issue an alum cab could save alot. The later aluminized cabs seem to hold up pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Whopper Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 We had some R-612 Macks come into New Zealand back in 1984 with hood scoops, rumour was they were a cancelled shipment for a plantation in Central America... approx 22 came in as far as I know...
