Now that I have my A.C. working its nice to take a nap in the cold air sometimes. Problem is, the engine RPM changes around 250 RPM no matter what throttle I set it at. I like to set throttle at @ 850 or 900 Kind of annoying. Its an 83 E9 with the AMBOSCH V pump. Any ideas on how to stop this?

That's what I did with my 6 spd. Stood it on its bellhousing. Also, Some of the forks have to be held in place with wire, coathanger while linging the fork shafts up to put back together. Good luck, hope it goes well for you

That's interesting. A 2 wide 4 deep sleeper

Would it make a difference it has a unit in the bunk? that might add more oil

Thanks

Need help IDing this 5th Wheel
ws721 replied to Brandt's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
I think youre adjustment is the bolt in the front of 5th wheel. -
If your tank was low when you put fuel in it may have "drawn" the fuel away from the pick up tube. Once the pickup tube sucked air Detroits can be real mean to bleed. Not saying that was your case but worth looking into
-
Whats his web site?
-
Amen to that. Just remember OLD TRUCKS COLLECT THE NICEST PEOPLE
-
Maybe you have done this already but in case you haven't. A lot of Detroit powered trucks had a tire valve stem drilled into the fuel cap. That way you could pressureize the tank to push fuel up to the engine. Becareful not to put to much pressure. We have a 84 8V92 silver that is mean to get going if you run her out of fuel. Just a thought. Hope it helps

Walters are cool! I hauled one out of NY a few years ago that had a blower on it. The engine for the blower took up the entire back of the truck. It was powered by a V8 Leroi 2002 cubic inch!!! The man who sold it told me that he use to run it for the county. The exhaust was 4 in long. It sounded great. I had a 56 Walters. The only true 4 wd. Good score. If you think you may want to part with her let us know

I think you could still but a General in Canada up to 89. In fact some had series 60 Detroits in them

How come when I asked for a clutch fan last fall I didn't get this info from you folks? Superior turbo just sent me a viscous fan. its brand new. part # SRF197703K $625 is what I paid for it. I should proof read before I post.

Slop loads are hard on trucks. Most barnyards aren't very friendly either. Sorry to hear your losing intrest but I do understand.

Ok. I had a great idea. It was Get off my butt and go look at the Cylinders. Cruiseliner cylinders are 5 in to long. I have several lift cylinders around I will check the others in the day light and let you know what I have
-
I was able to get a new lift cylinder from our local Mack dealer. I have had several rebuilt by local hydraulic shop also.. Now you have me wondering. Is there a difference between a Cruiseliner and a MH cylinder?
-
extra lights or no?
ws721 replied to ws721's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
All excellent suggestions. Thank you very much. A few extra lights in the right places it is then. -
Ok folks here it is. The BIG question. LOL. Im trying to settle a debate with friends on adding extra non factory lights to a classic clean truck. Now I like "chicken" lights as much or more than the next guy. BUT. If you own a clean unmolested truck should you leave it alone or personalize it? My last new dropdeck had 32 marker lights that I had installed at the factory. I like lights but I also like a clean unmolested truck. Throw in youre 2 cents
-
Can I order that black & red MH and get the girl? If yes then im on my way to the dealership with a deposit!! Even if it doesn't come with the girl!!!
-
Learn something everyday. On 287 couple weeks ago I did see a UPS KW. That was a shock
-
My MH has very nice interior. Its the grey that you have in the picture. I have it listed for sale. If it doesn't sell maybe we can talk about parting it out
-
Why on earth would they replace a door that wouldn't rust with a steel door? That doesn't sound like progress
-
If im not mistaken, Which I have been known to be wrong before, the ex told me that. 83 MH's came with single round headlights. After that you could order them but 4 square was the norm. Also, as far as I know 83 was only a half year for the MH. If someone knows otherwise please let me know

Features a Mack Cruiseliner on the cover, behind a blonde. Does it mean im getting old when I check out the Cruiseliner before looking at the blonde? OOPS my bad. Its on Ebay not C.L
