We didn't get as much this time. We had about 4 or 5 inches last week but the next day it was in the 40's so a lot of it melted. This time it snowed all day yesterday but we only got about 3". But it was about 15 degrees this morning, calling for a high today of 32, so it'll be around a while. Miss the old F150 now, haven't seen a snow plow yet.

Where is the defroster blend door on 89R model Mack

as far as the fire ring goes, I was taught to place the sharp edge down. The ring should fit nicely around the top of the liner

No sealant...

Any tips to placing the fire ring in the new head gasket? Been a while, can't for the life of me remember using any sealant to hold the fire ring in place or anything. Thought I'd better ask. Here is a pic if the peened seats on the donor head

Moving right along and looking like a truck again Top effort Paul

Just an update. Took a few pictures of some Tags. Looks like per @85snowdog pump and turbo, the Pump# 5163-P14 the the same mack number minus the last three after the dash and the turbo# is s3b-086 so turbo is different. Pump Injection timing is also the same at 20° like your 350 I think it's safe to same this engine is set to 350HP unless you guys think different?

Tommy, You can keep that white stuff down there! Tuesday we had 6" of snow, minus one Friday, and it's plus one now. .....Hippy

Get a bigger chisel/punch and a bigger hammer!!!!!!!

Sweet!!!! one day my brother and I will have our '57 B85F to the point it could be used in parades.

Split the screen??? Im quite the slow poke when it comes to technology.

I have seen the head area around the exhaust seats dimpled with a sharp punch before. terry

that is a Mead Excavating truck that is a few miles from me in Grayslake IL They have all older macks but I think the family is selling off everthing. His family was connected to the Northern IL mack dealership. now owned by CIT group

Ok.. PAI is good. The basket will have the letter 'R' stamped in one side. Thats the rear facing side. The friction plates and fiber plates have an order to their installation. Pay attention to the inner snap ring in the center of the synchro. Sure wish you had asked me for a book. I could have sent you the book for $75 shipping included..

I ordered a synchronizer kit to fix some of the worn parts while I had it out the wanted some numbers off the low range hub and the vin they sent me a pai kit 806803 it seems similar but a few things are different did they send me the wrong kit if it’s right does anyone have an installation guide or something for it I ordered a manual but it hasn’t arrived yet btw I haven’t tore into the power divider yet hopefully this fixes it but I have my doubts

I thought you loved winter????? So far all ours has stayed north of I-85, in the Asheville area..

Meritor doesn't sell direct Punch that number (R004868) into you search engine and see what pops up. I get a whole bunch of retailers. Just noticed the 5/32" thickness, that will not likely work for you. almost 3/16" not sure you could bend it over.

Thanks for the info. That looks like the one I need. I'm going to get in touch with them tomorrow.

wow excellent ,,bob

Here’s the pictures

Mack is such a brat. Yep, chilly here too..

lol that’s what my dogs do when it’s cold they sleep on a pillow in front of my pellet stove
