Yeah.... how foolish were those pirates ? No wonder yo don't hear about them anymore.

My local engine shop uses liquid nitrogen for sleeves and valve seat installation.

Hard to tell , almost looks like there's no clutch brake either. Hard to tell how big it is too. Worst case if an attempt to service it in the truck doesn't work, replacements are available that'll go right in there without much trouble.

Reading through, it has a "pin" that has to go into the bearing retainer sleeve for the self adjusting mechanism to work. Having said that, I too have not run across this type. The manual is dated 1981. It must have been an early design before the "Solo" self adjusters. I would try adjusting before giving up on it. From what little is shown, a pin that wore or broke would disable the self adjusting feature.

priceless

Can't help but wonder who's in the pictures.

Clutch manual Page 25 seams to have that style. Supposed to be self adjusting.

I never saw one like that. Looks like some kind of self adjusting 14" angle spring. Might be it's worn to a point there is no adjustment left. I really don't know, but it sure has me curious.

Well, we don’t see much of that on anything. We have here now … personally I’m getting tired of making China rich

Well...... I myself have never adjusted that style clutch... Proud to see Made in U.S.A...

Heres a few pictures.Hope theyre good enought...Its a Spicer/Dana clutch.In one of the pics theres something to please you guys...It says Made In USA... Paul

ok. I know from experience that you can get those 2 and the EGR plugs mixed up. It boggles my mind as to why they would make those plugs the same.. I bet you got pretty good at removing the interior panels to get the doghouse out.

Yes we checked that.

When Hallamore took over the Blakeslee account they had 37-trailer's all had slot's cut into upper-coupler to lock into the fifth wheel ....

did you swap the cam and crank plugs? they may be backwards.

Pooch for every occasion there Paul

The king pins can take some pushing to get out, I normally pull the axle and put them in a press, still need some heat even then Amazing thing is, once they are loose the seem to just slip in and out really easy Paul

Hello. I have an early teens 613 with an MP8. The truck has 200 K miles on it. It will read the cam sensor intermediately. Sometimes it will start easily, others it cranks hard and Power is reduced. We have done the following: Replaced both the cam and crank shaft sensor (twice), Swapped ECM, Swapped Wiring Harness, the truck has been deleted, we have flashed the computer and put a new delete program in it, removed transmission and checked timing. Still, have the issue. Best guess is that the cam or crank is walking out of the reach of the sensor. Can anyone help me? I’m sick of spending money on it. We have had it to 3 mechanics in the last 18 month. It is obvious this has been a recurring issue that can’t be resolved.

We used dry ice when needed when I was still at Cleveland brothers many years later I was restoring my Velocette Thruxton motorcycle and I bought a ruff cast cylinder head and I got all the machining done and I went to a guy I knew, and he dipped the valve seats in nitrogen and we stuck them in the aluminum head worked quite well

Our Ingalls Market, a southern regional grocery chain, has a cooler of dry ice in our local store.

Hello forum members! I have some updates on the B-Model restoration to share. I have been trying to get the front lean out of the truck and am going to replace the eye pins and bushings. At the same time, I will also put on a bumper to be made by me. I needed to replace the bumper supports and fabricated them in house. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! With Respect.....Frank

Hi gouts I have 2016 pinnacle with an mp8 it’s just started throwing a Po403 code egr A control circuit open . What does this code mean will it shut me down and leave me stranded or can I continue my run and get it looked after when I get home.

I was surprised to learn my local "HyVee" grocery store sold it. I had seen it at WalMart's out in Wy where some people come a long way to get groceries, but was surprised in Iowa that it was that accessible.
