Yes the one that the sister met at the door. You may remember her little rhyming greeting 😂 I think she qualifies for " boobage"

are you talking about the one that came to the door, or the treating nurse?

Info is sketchy at this point but the magnum engines were a further refinement of the bigger 60 degree V6s for heavy truck engine use. The had bigger carbs, A different intake port design, larger valves and possibly a different cam profile all geared toward higher torque and horsepower figures.

Thank you everyone for all these answers I’m getting. They are incredibly helpful and can’t stress enough how much I appreciate these information and you guyses patience with me. - Thank you Steve s. I was afraid doing 5 lo would damage it but happy that’s not the case. - 67RModel thanks for the ratio chart, it’s very helpful and yes I can see why some gears don’t make practical sense - Brocky yeah wont tow anything too heavy maybe some ATCs and ATVs a load that is meaningless for truck like this the main use of this truck will be good times you know cruising down the highway going 40-50 mph and listening to blue grass and country music so i think you and other are right this 9 speed will be plenty of fun for me - Freightrain That is an absolutely beautiful truck. I’m sure I’m going to have several months of grinding gears until I can actually start driving it daily. I have driven a 1928 Cadillac that required double clutching but I’m sure that Cadillac was a child’s play compared to these trucks - Vladislav Thanks for the information here and your other replies to my other post you are always very helpful. Yeah sadly I don’t carry that American gene that allows them to effortlessly do that. I’m sure I will be grinding the those gears like crazy until I learn how to do it. I’m on a business trip but when I’m back I will provide you with those photos and numbers you asked for. Also of course I’m not going to change those wheels or anything on it. I will even get the vipers to work with air again if I can find the part. It will be restored as originally as it could possibly be done no modern parts to make it easy to use or so called more reliable, whatever Mack did in 1956 I will do it the same. - Mattb73lt Thank you this was the prefect answer to the question I have alot to learn and research. The shift pattern shown on the plate matches the way sticks move but i dont know if its factory original. Also yes this forum is a life saver just full of amazing very knowledgeable people like yourself. I have asked 2 questions on the forum and can’t stress enough how educational reading the answers were to me. - Mowerman After reading all the answers I got I also think the 9 speed will provide me with plenty of shifting. Also thanks for understanding my point of view. Once again thank you all for your very helpful answers you all are life savers. I will most definitely be back with more questions and more information on my truck and its parts. If I missed any of your point or questions please let me know.

Wow, cool! Just please let me know when you're able to print a complete Mack Superliner!

The current Pinnacle is already discontinued as far as I know? As of last summer you could no longer order the big sleepers, and last I heard you could only order a daycab until they switch production to the new Volvo.

Starting can draw 1800 amps in the cold or 9x the biggest alternator commonly used. If you can cut that draw in 1/2 you make a big difference. every other electrical device combined is not going to reach 100 amps @ 12 volt. Starting in the cold is still 18x or greater every other load combined. Add key off depletion of the battery and that is why some way of reducing the max current draw is needed.

Some of the newer John Deere choppers use v12 Liebherr engines. Never been around one Took a look at that GMC V6 this weekend, 67Rmodel was dead on with the location of the number but it took some scraping to read. 401M is what it said but still not sure what M or "magnum" means. It would be a cool motor to swap into something but the Allison auto trans in it is way too huge for a pickup.

Starting ? That's the least of it. Starters are gonna be about the size of a beer can at the rate things are going. Between creature comforts and draw for computer controlled components 24 volts takes on a different use than what it used to.

She made an impression on me, I'm sure you'll see why.

TJ, do you still have the 48 EE parts truck? My EE or EF ?? (no id tag), only the engine block # , indicates it's an EN271 4 speed. It's very rough with rust, but maybe the 2 can make one?

I agree 100% with this guy.Its the same BS in Europe.....Now every household in Ireland is getting a booklet on why we should NOT light an open fire including a bbq.It claims we are causeing 1500 deaths a year just by lighting a fire to stay warm.....Its long passed the point of absolute BS... Paul

Perfect!!

Yes, Italion and Swedish. Her maiden name was Dellafera.

Is Zina Italian ??

Zina made some garlic knots today, they were fantastic! I ate one at lunch time, and I'm still feeling full. I was like "garlic knots?.. what's that?"

Yep, they are yummy. I have a pizza dip baking now. I already toasted some small garlic bread crustinis to dip it.. No health food here tonight.. Just yummie...

I don't remember her...I'll have to go back to the Google machine.
