Wow Paul what a line up....Id kill to be there.Thanks for the pictures keep them coming.Id love to hear the "tank" E9 running.How many trucks are there???.Yer all so dam lucky to have shows like that....... Paul

And, well, Mrs Mack is still on blocks and things are moving along but not quick enough for the big event Paul

A Yanky Brockway in Australia

The E9 V8 that was in the Fench tanks, 750 ho quad turbo starts first piston to the top, brrrrrrm

We'll the not so famous Mrs Mack is still not there yet However, the boy and I went for a looksee today

Have a 2008 mack granite tractorwith mp 8. Been pulling a dump trailer behind it and when i have mulch in it rides smooth. Brought a load of RCA home today and felt like my insides were being bounced around I'm Seriously considerings selling the truck after this .I still feel sick from the ride home. i Have alot of other mack and its always been the heavier its is the nicer the ride.Anyone have any ideas . THe truck has 4 air bags on the rear.i checked the linkages for the ride height system and all seem to be attached and functioning . Please anyone have any ideas.

Today was my last day at the dealership, very bittersweet. I saved my list of old truck VINs, which hit 81 before the end, last of which was a 1991 Superliner II with a mechanical E7. Customer wanted rear hood bushings. I'll still be around here for as long as I can operate a computer! Long live Mack trucks.

I think it's because it doesn't have a snap ring and the bolt keeps it from pressing out I guess. Never seen anything like this.

I can't find a snap ring just that bolt and still having a hard time getting the bearing out. I believe it's pressed in.

My Cat is air to air so thats not where the leak is. I put the splitter on it so I could slpit the gears not for the big OD. I run close to home so about half my miles are empty. It lets me keep a pretty good mpg number overall. I can run well over 85 but I very seldom run over 80. Now lets forget the Ford because Im not trying to replicate that.

Looking for a good stainless west coast mirror bracket for driver side.

Please post pic if you don’t mind I haven’t had time to check it out much just pull the blow by filter it was full of slug not there before but oil is fine no water thanks

Still no sign of water in the oil even after driving it with 22tons on its back but blowed about 1.5 gal oil out Blow by filter was full of slug wasn’t there before when I changed the oil few months ago plan to pull pan and check like Joey had mentioned thanks guys

Cats of that vintage and 400 hp could be water aftercooled, that is one place it could be leaking. Coolant doesn't just disappear, so I would put some time into finding where it is going. head/spacer plate gasket is another. .6 OD puts a lot of heat (and power) into the transmission oil. You have a large OD and can drop the rear ratio quite a bit to move "in the mud", and still get down the highway at decent speed. My Marmon will top out at 80 with 4.11's and .78 OD, how much more do you need? If you have gears you can not use most of the time, but are paying a penalty for not having low enough gears at the same time, you are not making the most of what you have. Flying when empty, is a poor tradeoff for working well when loaded. Look at the total ratio, not the individual boxes, make the best compromise over the total ratio, so you are likely better off with a ratio that tops out at 80 mph but gives you a lower starting overall ratio.

Since you may have to rebuild the carport anchor system can you raise it at the same time??????

I was also thinking if you could get a hold of Matt pfahl restorations good luck … bob

My truck pretty much flies when I want it to. I put the splitter in so I could get the .85od since tne.74 that came stock was a long reach on some hills. i just saw a chart for a 2070b that had a 20:1 low gear and a .6 of. My question on that is when empty can you shift it like a 5 sod?

Probably the best people to give you a guesstimate on price would be Gary Mahan in NJ or the Nuss collection in Minnesota..

Wow just spotted this …… thanks so much for the post…. Some gorgeous iron

Wow excellent

Eaton ratio chart I often though of doing what you did, but installed 13's instead. B ratio is OD main, but I was going to go with U/D back. with .6 OD and 3.54's you are way over geared. With a 425 Cat and 4.11 gears with .78 od was about right.

Correction. My Roadranger is a 12.57 low.

Thanks for that. I was hoping I didn’t have to go into the pump but let’s see what happens. These two lines are been on there since 66 as far as I know so let’s see what happens and thanks again for your input.
