    I have worked for the dealer for many years and some times the man that is doing the work spends more time writting a good story than he does working on the truck. It makes the job easy for the clerk closing the ticket. I was never good at writting a good story because i would work as long as i could on the engine and then write a short sotry only me could understand.

    This is very true and i have know this for since the maxidyne came out but for a cummins driver you cant make him under stand that torque can get you there so horsepower can keep you going so a guy that is running a 13 speed and turning 2100 thinks he is losing time and power by pullingt the engine down to 1200. I have a freind that has two dump trucks and both mack. one is a 237 and the other is a 285 and both will top out at the top of a small hill the same time a 350 cummins will. Yes you can set a cummins up to do better but not at 1200 rpm.

    I think you may need to check with the glass man because that was a common window in its days but i am sure it was a after market or home made. I have seen them in years past but would not think that it would be easy to find one now.

    I saw some of those engines in B models with the small quad trans. That was in about 65 but they were maybe 4 years old. Mix trucks and i rmenber them well because they had the stopmaster or wedge brakes on them. The mixer trucks and wedge brakes is a bad mix. The mixerrs is alltime backing off in to the water vat to clean the acid from under side and that detroys the adjusters in the wedge brakes. The same compant also had the small six cly in some of their mixers to . One engine was a end465 and the other was a end475.

    I never did see a F model with a by/pass filter. The by/pass filter will have two # 6 oil lines at the bottom and not have a oil cooler. A full flow parial/flow by/pass will have one # 6 and two # 16 lines at the bottom. It is a bypass and a full flow together. And that engine will have a oil cooler.

    That would be a mack and it is for a 89 year R model.

    All air operated shutters that i have seen on trucks or air closed but with the Kysor system that has a temp control bulb in the rad that controls the shutters by a manual linkage the shutters will be spring loaded closed. So if the bulb fails then you have a over heat problem unless you have a shut down system on the engine.

    Years ago and i dont know about new macks but the tires should be no more that 3/4"from bigest to littlest in how tall they are. The poping is made from one axle turning a little faster than the other. That and good hearing. I cant hear mine so i dont worry about it.

    I like the safety switch it has on the base if you upset the base it cuts the power.

    Good luck buddy and remenber for what its worth there is alot of people having same problems and some that is only a paycheck from that. glenn

    Sometimes that noise can come from mismatch tires.

    You have to take in to ,make and have its brains drained.

    I learned something new , I have not seen a Vmac lV

    The B model back in the mid 60 used a 5 or 7 lb cap. The 10 lb will not hurt the engine but may be too much for the rad. and heater.

    I understand now i can see. Well electric is hard to understand some time cause you cant see it.But you sure can feel it some times. I like working with air leakes better .It is clean and the air is free and i can hear it. glenn
