Thank you very much vladislav very helpful piece of information hopefully the renault ones will fit on it since they are more common in Turkey. If you are going to see a mack or any other cool truck in turkey there is a 90% chance it will be parked in front of a gas station or a restaurant as decoration. In some cases they just turn a semi trailer to a kebab restaurant park the truck in front of the trailer and sell food from it. That was the case with my truck.

Thank you, it’s really easy to install and hook up and I have run it since 2004 ,about 30,000 miles worth ,best power steering I ever drove

Where would I find the serial?

Joey, would you happen to know what valve stems seals are on a 93 E7? It seems I remember an update to the the valve stem seals after 94 or 95? I need to read in my book to refresh my memory. Im needing some for my E7.

Fairly sure it is a trailer suspension, not a truck suspension being used on a trailer.

Any tricks to getting pictures on here? I am not having much luck with that either.

I don’t have any info regarding the chassis. As it had been chopped and converted to a trailer before we bought it. I will try more pictures.j

A friend was northbound in a WS712LST Cruise-Liner. Headed down into the first CBBT tunnel (Thimble Shoal Channel tunnel) and there was a woman in a stalled car down at the flat bottom. He couldn't see her initially because the tunnel's curvature blocked direct vision of the car. He locked up the brakes. No Dynatard but that wouldn't have helped enough. He couldn't go around her because there were oncoming vehicles. It was an impossible scenario. He wasn't charged but it's a horrible memory to carry.

Replacing main bearings in a 1962 ENDT 673. What does the Main Bearing Cap Bolts torque at? Also the oil pump bolts and oil pan bolts? Thanks for any help or advice.

Been across it at least once. Don't like paying tolls so if there is a better way...

I was on the cbbt twice. Once going into Virginia, and once coming back north. Both times the people I was with made sure I drank a pint of jack dainiels before pouring me into a bunk in the back of the rv knowing my fear of bridges.

That can be a ride crossing the CBBT. l was coming north one night and it was raining, then it went to freezing rain, then it snowed the last five miles before Delaware. Have a picture some where taken looking over the hood of the R model just before going into one of the tunnels. There was a super tanker ship crossing the tunnel made it look like the Bulldog was going to hit the side of the ship. .....Hippy

Welcome to BMT.. Personally I am an "Old Fart" who likes to keep things original, BUT I admire someone who is willing to take on a project like your thoughts are leaning toward.. Please send your serial number to the Mack museum and get the history of this truck first. If Mech's numbers are any where near right, this truck as is may be more valuable the you think and maybe you can find another more common truck for your project.

Seams odd to be that far from the structure. Not odd that you wouldn't survive the fall, however.

I bet i have them..

Just see if they are for .500 stem. They are noticably larger ID then the common .375 version. Caliper the hole. If .315 they are for .375 valve If .450 they are for .500 valve.

Will you post a picture of a valve seal so I can see if the many sets I have are correct? . I dont need 4 sets, so if they are correct, I can offer them to BMT guys..

Got this off FB. Part number for the hub. Dropping off parts and liner puller to Mack friend and he may have one.

if ever there was positive constructive advice given ; don't think it could have been delivered better. in this particular situation , the EQT it self is an unusual vehicle. I had two '49 E series Macks; one a EE and a EF; more common of the E series. believe the EQ was heaviest of the E's. have seen a number of "mini macks " made taking a Mack cab installing on a pick up chassis. following ALL the previous suggestions by Vlad ;; best of luck and keep the BMT crew updated when possible. a EQT pick up mini will definitely be in a class of it's own. Thanks for joining BMT

My heads do have "wipers" as Mack calls them. When I was speaking with the dealer the young parts man was all confused when I said valve stem seals. That is the very common name for them in the "car" world. Apparently Mack has their own terminology. My heads have .500 stems and newer heads have .375. They had tons of .375 in stock. The .500 are 40 yrs out of date but they did find them at another place and will have them Monday. I do know that Pontiac back in the 60-70s just used a basic O ring to help keep the oil from running down the valve stem. It stayed on the stem and went up and down but it helped fling the oil off. Ford used an upside down "cup" that rode on the stem but over time got hard and fell off. You would get a cloud of blue smoke at start up from oil running down the stem after shutting the engine off. Most engines have the more positive seal today using a metal housing that presses onto the guide and then has a rubber seal. Which is what my heads have.
