    I know unrelated to post title , when i was running my E9 on the road and it was tuned right (with all stock parts)only truck that even came close to keeping up with me on a hill was a 600 cat . I never came across any KT trucks that i know of. I know that now that you can make the others run with it that is if you want to do head gaskets every 100,000 or so. Never worked on the older 8s and very little on Mack Inlines, Sooner work on E9 then a cat any day.

    John Deere was only about $1200 when i got mine then they got wise to why they were selling so many thats what i was told

    Hole in my truck was framed with lite C channel steel welded to body.Sleeper Boot screwed to that. Easier to cut existing interior panels smaller to fit than make new ones IMO. Maybe you should test fit on truck first to see best option.

    Had a 36 able ( V style entry) on my truck when i got it , had an oops and put 60 Can Am on with Square entry made hole in cab match sleeper. For me steel is easier to work with then Aluminum.

    Don't know if wired the same as the old ones but maybe this will help u find problem . http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/tutorials/article/55-r-model-wiring-diagram/ Did you check back of switch? one side marker lights other side head lights.
  9. Back In Black Pulling
    In the off brands at work the light does not come on when u flip the switch, only when you turn or spin a little then axle is locked. Turn switch off the light stays on until you drive strait for a little. Does Mack work same way?

    My timing is between 35-39 still playing with it, was always told not to go more then 1 degree over stock if working truck pulling a trailer with long hard pulls. Guy around here had his advanced 3 degrees on working truck and eventually cracked all the heads. You are right bigger turbo more top end.Made big difference when i went from 3.6 to 3.9 .
  11. Back In Black Pulling
    If i remember correctly that is a Trevits motor , so it is probably pieced together with different parts. If you would pull inj they probable ground the numbers off so no one can tell what they used. He was a Mack engineer that worked with Curt Price from antrim's and JR Collins to develop high performance parts. I'm also turbo stupid so don't worry u are not alone. But this is how u learn.

    How does it run with air research turbo? JohnDeere turbo make them as snappy as car.
  13. Back In Black Pulling
    Not sure never had one or saw one? Had 700 hp with mine with all stock parts easily. Then went to Antrims industrial type inj and BorgWarner (JohnDeere) turbo. That was a good play and work combo.

  16. Back In Black Pulling

  17. Back In Black Pulling
    If you want to work the truck you might want to stay with Turbo you have. ant bigger and you will have to keep wound up to keep egt down. I'm govn to 4000, Frances has two different size crossover tubes i have the smaller one now. I have a valve on mine to lock back brakes so i can ride clutch to get boost up before i leave line. Ran Lipe clutch for years doing that. Now i have 4 disk crower clutch.

    Used to drive old r model that had second stick for low range used to shift that all the time on the go, but i guess thats a little different.
  19. Back In Black Pulling
    You would probably want to start in 11th or 12th. What rpm u turning now and what injs u got? 3.9 turbo has titanium comp wheel makes it a Little harder to spool starts to really pull about 2000 rpm , wont do any thing till i get 25 to 30 psi boost. with the headers actually have lower boost then with stock manifolds , i think because they flow better. When pulling i get about 60 psi Don,t know what i will have with 4.1 but i need more air have plenty of fuel.
  20. Back In Black Pulling
    I Start in 6th run it like 4 speed . This was with stock V pump and 3.6 holset turbo and Francis Headers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBd3BRT5Hf0 And Some dirt Drags https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XynhmtYRX4s The 14.90 was with 13mm Vpump and same Turbo sorry no vid of that. Currently i have 13mm pump and .25-6 hole injs with 3.9 Holset turbo will be getting 4.1 turbo in couple weeks.

    Well for your information I don't know if said heads are interchangeable or if the head he needs is available any where so i Gave him another route to think about. I know how hard it is to find e9 heads , welding is one option i checked in two in stead of just scraping them. Thank You very Much !
  24. Back In Black Pulling
    There is Places out west that can weld cracked heads Haven't tried yet but i have 3 i want to get fixed
