Could the parking brake release air be leaking through a brake can and coming out the service side?

Yeah. They’ve had badges on them for a while now. Probably cheaper than having them removed.

Glad you got it stopped, man. I’m sure the pucker factor was off the scale there.

If you were willed a Styrofoam cooler...

I created a new login. Had to change my password from my usual format. But, did get in. We'll see how it goes.

Even your transmission is gorgeous, Matt! Triplex or Quadruplex?

I thought it was hilarious that the first "new" picture posted was of a Mack! You can't make this stuff up!

I used the same password and login I always used, and it didn't like me either!

On a lot of the single-frame stuff, there is just a spacer to take up the space where the inner frame rail would have been. I saw this in several spots on mine.

I can’t wait to see the next episode of “As the Bulldog Turns”. That truck is freakin’ awesome. Did you figure out what was up with the air pressure that one time? Governor, maybe?

UNC...

GREAT insight, Matt!!!

Just sayin', Barry MIGHT be willing to put sub-categories under the "Other Brands" section so stuff could be separated by brand. Or, he might not! Bu he's pretty cool about most things.

Barry might even be willing to add some sections for all the other non-Mack stuff. Like the Brockway section in the "other brands" section (yeah, I know the Brockway-Mack connection!). Glad y'all are here regardless,

Thanks, Man. Sorry about the wife's Mom.

Yep, Geoff. Sounds like a preload issue.

Believe it or not, too much grease can also cause a bearing to overheat at higher rpm. If over-greased, the whole thing can get heat-soaked because the excess grease can trap the heat. Our industrial bearings are typically filled 1/3 full.

I suspect the upper tray may act as insulation, keeping the colder air under it? Interesting thought, High Binder. Okay, Joey...Why is it we drive on the parkway and park on the driveway?

Does the clutch have an internal adjustment that may not have been done? That or the throwout bearing sounds most likely. Doing what Bob said will eliminate the issue being the adjustment on the clutch brake. If doing what he said allows you to sit still, in gear, with the clutch in, then the clutch is releasing. If it tries to move with the clutch in, then the clutch is not releasing...for one reason or another. Gotta start somewhere...right?!

There are 3 or 4 guys on here that will chime in pretty soon. I'm sure they will give you some good troubleshooting tips. And, welcome to The Dog Pound.

Or that...

All kidding aside, I read once that hot water does make clearer ice cubes and makes them faster. The hot water is supposed to have fewer trapped gasses in it (just like you said).

You've got one of the best in the business helping you there, 'Mutt!

Yep. One of the biggest challenges when designing a bearing assembly, or any other assembly for that matter, is to calculate what parts will grow in what direction and what that growth will do to the assembly. Lots of factors there. Coefficients of thermal linear expansion of all the different materials. Type of lubrication. Phase of the moon. Neighbor's wife's bra size. You name it. One of the most fun things I have ever done is build precision machine tool spindles. Tolerances in the millionths of an inch. Things where the ambient temperature, and the temperature of your hands, affects the build-up. Those have to be pre-loaded to run accurately, but will instantly burn up if set up too "tight". Really enjoyed those, though. One of those things where the extra time spent getting it "just so" pays off in seriously longer service life. Dang. Getting teary eyed and nostalgic now!😂

Sure! Let's go with that! As good a reason as any!
