New Mack models
Bullheaded replied to james j neiweem's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
International has a better chance of getting that engine than Mack now with then being under the VW umbrella now. -
I hate to see that. You put a lot of time and money into getting it working right.. I hope you did NOT lose your shirt too bad. One consolation is you now have room in the car port for the Mack..
-
Was that chassis originally a fire truck??? The bell and siren say so??? -
Does it have any caster ? Like from it missing because the springs are shot and the kingpins are straight up and down?
-
I remember those!
-
You need too. Those stop bolts have been known to fall out, and that puts a lot of stress on the steering system, from the box to all the linkages...
-
Thanks, I'll look into that.
-
If you get jammed up real bad, here is one, may or may not need your drive on it.Air Starter.
-
Which bolt has a reverse thread? I can't think of one off the top of my head? Yours is slightly different then the 150's but I don't know of any LH threads on them.
-
Yes sir the only issue is I just stripped my bolt that has reverse thread 😵💫. Got to figure that out now
-
Not much to them, if you can fix your air impact gun, you can work on an air starter.
-
Look behind the spindles on the back should be a large hex or square head bolt with a jam nut. It stops againsnt the triangular bump outs on the axle beam. If you are over steering, you will have a slow to no return on its own.
-
Are you talking about the plunger bolts on the top and bottom of the steering box? Or something in the linkages? That's what I thought that screw could be for after looking at the manual, thanks for verifying that.
-
Yes it has the push valve under the seat with the handle. I love the sound of the air starter that's why I am trying to keep it but I haven't seen or met anyone around my area that knows about the starter or they say they never messed with them. 🤷🏼♂️
-
That will set the turning radius, theres one on top too. Are your steering stop bolts in place and adjusted correctly?
-
Yes, all of those have been replaced in the not-so-distant past except the tie-rod ends and they seem tight. What about the steering box? It is the original Shepard I think with 1.4 million on the truck. Is there an adjustment screw to take up gear lash like on a Dodge? I found this screw on the bottom but I'm not sure about it as it doesn't have a lock nut.
-
the first guy offered ONLY 5k - ARE THERE ANY BETTER OFFERS? That was just way too low in my opinion
-
Wow, the sheet metal is in really good shape on that thing really hard to find anything around that clean I’d like to have it myself. -
Oh boy that sounds like fun!! Reminds me why I liked my 2001 ETec so well. Thanks so much for the update. Eddy

New push button on dash and I rebuilt the air valve in the tank when I installed the system 8-9? years ago. I have the old steam valve but local friend says don't use it. He runs air start on his Freightliner FLD and helped me get mine dialed in. Works great.

Have a 2017 CHU. The brake lights do not come on with low pressure. Brake lights do work normally. Trying to find which sensor is for the low pressure brake lights..
