yes to using the pinless intake bridges. and spring loaded pushrods came out around 2001/2001 with the CCRS engine series. there is a back-cut on the exhaust lobes and the spring loaded rods helped keep the lifter on the cam, or so they say. Look at your cam part number and compare it to a CCRS engine.

thats just wierd,,,,i know my little guys can hear a pin drop a mile away,,bob

Hello all, my seemingly endless e tech project has hit another snag and I could sure use some input on this problem. I ordered new heads from ATL diesel, FedEx damaged one and over 4 weeks later I finally got a replacement. I bolted them on and realized the heads are from a newer engine with pinless intake yokes. I have a parts engine with pinless yokes that I could steal and install today, or the heads are drilled for pins which I could order and install whenever they arrive. My question is, is there any problem mixing these yokes from two different engines? Also, the parts motor has an engine brake but standard, not spring loaded, push rods. Is that normal?

I just lost a suit block feeder I'm figuring a bear ripped the limb off the tree never found the feeder and the four dogs never made a peep but if a leaf in the tree moves it is a contest who can bark the loudest and the longest go figure

I wonder if this will help? It shows different width V bands sections for different sized bands. Eaton marman clamps It shows as narrow as .192" width.

Zina looked out the window yesterday morning and saw 2 bird feeders pulled down, poles bent, bird seed gone. Either I've been feeding the birds too much and they're stronger than I thought or a bear must have gotten them. We have outdoor cameras, and dogs who jump up barking and go racing out the back door at the slightest noise, but they never said anything and the cameras never saw anything. I put them back up yesterday, just stood one back up and I broke the other one the rest of the way off and put a piece of re-bar in it. I haven't refilled them yet though.

Ok that’s just wierd

Oh brother back to square one good luck

Excellent… reminds me of my 64 ford … it was one of my favorite vehicles.. even had a cattle pusher similar to that one thanks for that… bob

Yeah, I won't be much help anymore. My contact at the dealership isn't as savvy at finding parts for modified Macks like I was...

I need to investigate what the exhaust pipe flange look like. I received the clamp but it has more than a 1/2" wide groove which means the downpipe has to be super thick to make this clamp work. For reference the clamp that holds the hot/cold side together is about half as wide as this clamp. This was my concern with these v clamps. Seems there are so many variations.

Hopefully it all goes smoothly Thanks Barry Paul

You might wanna ask around on here I’m sure someone has got one or start contacting wrecking yards even if you have to reach out to other states… there is tons of Mack’s in lotsa junkyards I know there’s a huge yard somewhere in Arkansas good luck start poking around Google search.. bob

I believe that is a MC, not technically the exact same but pretty close to MR. As far as the Scania engine goes tho I have no idea what clutch setup it would have.

I talked to Mike yesterday told him he did a good job with that video. Pelligrino's garage in Brockton always had a real no trespassing vibe (probably because it wasn't in the best neighborhood). I was going by there one day and the overhead doors were open and the chain across the parking lot entry was down so I took a chance and stopped. Anthony's father Sal ( dressed in black sitting in lawn chair) was more than happy to let me look at the trucks seemed like a nice guy.

Saw this truck on YouTube the other day, very impressive and a great watch The Boston trucker really done well on this video, well worth a watch Paul

Hey guy I have a Mack that needs a clutch. I thought the truck was a MR series 8 am still trying to get paperwork for the truck. Could someone help me decide the vin to help me find the right clutch. It's a Scania motor with a 5 SPD standard transmission Vin MC487F1003 ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

Gotcha thanks
