  1. Past hour
  2. In my opinion. .023" is too low. When I set liners i shoot for .027". You are allowed .002" across the cyl's. So .025" would be the low, and .029" would be the high. Are you using a sled gauge to check liner protrusion? And pointing in the correct groove at the top. Is the deck flat? I dont know of taller liners, an uncut counter bore shelf is around 4.003" deep. This is based off of my own measurements .
  3. I would say that this is good advice Run lower if the tyres aren't kissing 💋 Dunno enough about loads you carry etc But, plenty of weight over the drives equals smoother ride Chuck a load on and weigh each axle at a time and see whats what If you don't have enough weight over the steer she'll ride like a bucking bull and leave peeing blood if it's really bad Like riding a Harely with a ridged heal So cut through the B.S. Get some weights of each axle with a load on Measure ride heights if your on air bags, went back and re read your post, see that you are So measure heights Measure yoke angles if this has Mack rear axles ? And report back I'm guessing your king pin on the grease plate is to far back and it's making it buck a bit with a load on Paul
  4. Today
  5. Not a driver just a mechanic and I have never seen anyone replace the shock absorbers on this suspension unless they rot off at the ends from salt corrosion, just a thought
  6. Hello all, I'm having a bit of trouble with an etech 460 and would appreciate any input you may have. The number 2 fire ring started leaking compression into the water jacket and number 3 looked to be close behind. Liner protrusion is in spec on all cylinders, but some are at the low end. I've read input from other members that said the 460 HP engines work better with the liners set at the top of the .023 to .029 range. I lost a head gasket under this head 200k miles ago, but on the rear 3 cylinders. I swapped heads front to back at that time and the now rear head looks fine, as it did then. My questions are, could the head be the problem, or are the cylinders just too low? Also, is my only option to raise them to cut the counter bores and shim them up? Did anyone ever produce taller liners for the higher horse engines?
  7. Mack used Adlake lamps on the old ones: AB’s, AC’s…. I’ve never seen that style though.

  20. Well Paul.. I dont like when cultures lose their cultures... Our language changes often, but to me its related to street slang by a culture that I dont subscribe to.. anyway... And when Swishy posts.... I dont know what the hell he is sayin' but you do.. I love it.. cya...
  21. Sadly Joey our Australian language is slowly going and becoming more worldly Probably the same for many parts of the world We would of used Bonza, Beauty or Ripper not so long ago To be a Ocker Aussie as we were once called was according to Wikipedia "Ocker" refers to an uncultivated, boorish, or aggressively casual Australian man, often characterized by a thick accent (Strine), love for beer, and laid-back attitude. It describes someone who is stereotypical in their "Aussieness," often associated with being loud, friendly, and unrefined, originating from a 1960s TV character. What ever that means Paul
  22. The igloo just disappeared. I'm guessing somebody picked it up at night, because I didn't see anything. They never paid me for it either. The only thing is, I don't know if it's in Australia or North Carolina.
  23. Yes sir, it was really good. My Boss even said so many times... Nailed it !!.
  24. Happy birthday!

  26. Now Paul ??? You know we know your are top notch.... I dont know any Aussie words to use so pick some.. Is Banger a good word ? Or is that Brittish? Anyway... you are spot on....
  27. Plenty of people replace the check valves and call it good and 18 months later the problem reappears If you have leak in the return to tank line, it only takes a check valve to not fully seat once and bingo, the problem returns The return to tank side is just as important as the delivery side of things I have had people on the forum give me a really hard time for saying things like this, I guess because they don't want to understand and can't be taught from a Skippy the bus kangaroo from down under Paul
