    Dieters makes the trim and the grill is what was used in the Rawhide

    Are they not available from mack anymore?
  3. 880joe
    No it's a rocker switch that looks like all the other switches
  4. 880joe
    On my CH's I believe the override switch is for engine shutdown. It overrides for a short amount of time to get you off the road

    Joey your price is plenty fair and I bet the one's that said your price was to high will be back after they pay more somewhere else or get poor quality work for less

    It's also annoying to pay a mechanic for a job that wasn't done right because you weren't there standing over his shoulder making sure it done right

    I can get 38 out of my 355/380
  8. 880joe
    What year and model of truck are you working on?
  9. 880joe
    Stock I'm guessing would be around 28 pounds
  10. 880joe
    We're only talking 100hp max gain here not 9500 as in your example. I doubt you will see a noticeable difference in engine lifespan been plenty of 460 mack run a million miles
  11. 880joe
    If you have 355/380 program now it would work. I don't believe that combo will work on strait 350 or 400.

    Get you some 460 injectors a 631gc5173 turbo and you should see an improvement. I wouldn't worry about changing cam timing till it was necessary to be in the engine then change it to 427 460 timing
  13. 880joe
    It's hard to convenience some people that the 355/380 program will run better than 427 or 460
  14. 880joe
    With your truck being a 2000 it's most likely a pre ccrs engine and would require cam key change to go to the 427 file. If it was me I would just do turbo and injectors and leave the 355/380 program in it they have the same amount of torque 1550lbs. I myself like the 355/380 better over the 427

    I'll look tonight if I don't forget
  16. 880joe
    Are you looking for the gear box that bolts between axle and spring
  17. 880joe
    I believe the cabs were the same clear back into the early 70s
  18. 880joe
    What surprises me is the truck that the duals took out didn't crash into the ditch. Looks like he just parked it on the shoulder of the road
  19. 880joe
    Number 6 is the one that always breaks on me of course the hardest one to get to
  20. 880joe
    If I remember right 8 1/2 inches from axle center to bottom of frame. I can measure mine tomorrow and know for sure if someone else doesn't have a for sure answer
  21. 880joe
    From what I have read about that set up is if you want power on the lower end to run a 1.15 compressor wheel and for power on the upper end use a 1.32 compressor wheel. Also I'm pretty sure you can machine the cold side of the mack turbo housing to fit the detroit so then it will bolt right on
  22. 880joe
    Not sure about the angle of it but I believe it's 4 inch on the detroit and 3.5 on the mack
  23. 880joe
    A lot of people recommend the series 60 detroit turbo you can buy them for around 800 dollars. I have no personal experiences maybe someone that is actually running one will answer.
  24. 880joe
    Remember that 1 you built for me was a early etech with plate type oil cooler and left side ecm then we changed it to bundle type cooler and right side ecm

    Yes the water level sensor is on the external tank on the firewall
