    Latley when I shut the Dyntard off it sounds as if 1 cyl is still trying to jake. Maybe its 2 cyl under the same rocker cover im not sure. Unless you have the window down you wouldn't hear it. Keep in mind that my E9 is under my butt not out in front like most trucks. What would cause it to stay "jakeing" for few seconds after switch is shut off?

    Hey each to their own. I wouldn't build it but I admire his creativity. Kinda like the guy in W.O.T. who changed a Magnum. When you have a rare nice truck why destroy it? But its all up to the owner. I would like to see someone do a live tandem on that. Now that would be unique

    My E9 says 1982 on the tag. I was thinking it must be one of the earliest

    Around here there was a very good E9 man, now retired, who worked on a lot of E9's in lobster and fishing boats. Like he said, "when you have the Atlantic ocean to cool them you can make all the power you want". He told me that out of crate E9 marine versions were 850 hp. I asked him what my 83 E9 with the V pump was capable of his response was "how much do you want?". It seems to me that an E9 is an extremely remarkable engine capable of great power, tourque.

    Not all Mack 6 speeds are direct. Mine has a .62 overdrive. That is a great deal faster than 13 or 18 speeds

    Must be "new" to the northeast. I don't think I have ever seen a non rusty U model up here. It is clean. Anybody want to bet it has a new speedometer?

    That must look funny hooked to a Bullrack!! Ha HA. That's one of those "forgotten" trucks from days gone by. Hope someone saves it

    That yellow and orange General looks familiar. Is that from Fl? Someone down that way sent pics of an extended hood General he built. Just wondering if it found its way north

    Now that's cool

    Is there really nobody out there who knows the answer or did I not explain correctly? I want to put a Mack 18 speed in my Cruiseliner but I need to know if my shift linkage will off my 6 speed will work on the 18 speed. Are the shift forks the same?
  13. ws721
    Would anybody know if the shift linkage, top plate, off a TRXL 1070 fit a 20 series Mack 18 speed? If not where would I locate a shift linkage top loader for the 18 spd to fit in my COE?

    The Barrington truck show in Barrington, N.H. is this sunday. The largest chapter antique truck . Worth the visit

    Are you talking about starting off in "deep" then shifting to low without stopping? On the 15 speeds I have had most any gear would work depending on the terrain. But I preffered 4th deep coming out to 3 low seemed to work for me. Maybe I am misunderstanding the question

    So are you saying the driveshaft should be one tooth off in the slip joint? Thanks for the response gentlemen

    Ride height has been a sore subject. I have called several folks including the people who took over Neway and received several different answers. Experimiting has been the best help.
  19. ws721
    What? Where are the N.H. cabovers? Barney has let few people drive his 81 R model 300 6 spd. The only Mack around that is slower going to Pa than mine. Truck is in very nice shape.

    Truck has Mack 6 spd with a .62 overdrive. CRD 92 rears 5.73 ratio. truck has Neway susp I have been chasing this vibration for some time. I know what I should do is change tranny and rears to slow down drive shaft rpm. I have been told that I will never get rid of all the vibration due to the incredible shaft rpm. What im asking is this true? I have replaced all U joints, Slip joints. There is a little movement in output yoke in front drive. Any ideas short of better ratio and tranny?

    LOL. I was going to say How rare? We have 2 B61 integrals in the yard.

    If your doing a Superliner im afraid im no help to you. I could dig the part number for the condenser that I used but I don't know if you have the same set up.
  23. ws721
    Mine is a WS like in the pic at beginning of this thread.
  24. ws721
    UNBELIVEABLE!!!!! Nice job. And you didn't get cocky with the officer like he started to do with you. Good for you
  25. ws721
    I can send you a phone pic if you like. I used a condenser for a Mack RD. I had to drill and tap the radiator frame and add a 3 in piece to the left side to mount it. The good thing is its in front of the fan so the air is pulled thru it.
