as rob said donaldson has the most afordable ones. the plastic scoops will have side vents to help vent water out and to reduce any excess presser build up at high speeds. If you drive where there is alot of rain it will have an effect on the air cleaner and it will have to be checked/ replaced more often. I dont think you will feel any gains but it will help the turbo get its air a little better. biggest gain will be your good looks! and yea think about adding a brace at the top of the tube. some of the early R models with tall intake tubes had a bracket that mounted to the cab roof aera.

got the info ...T2060 with 5.88 rears.. What do you think will this have a faster 2nd gear than the old 2 stick 6 speed? I think the t2060 has a 5.25 in 2nd low and 3.05 in 2nd high?

Check with gulfway insurance http://www.racensur.com/ Tell them I told you about them. I just put my 77 Mack back on with them this week. It cost me around $225 for the year with the options I picked out, value etc... Trent

this is the vin number if anyone has time to run it and see . if you can let me know what rears are in it. This truck had a wierd tag over the normal stamping aera. Thanks in advance.. 1m2p264y5rm015977

looking at a 94 RD690 has a EM300. the stick has that silver ring simmilar to the air shift 6 speeds but just says hi and low? what could it be?

Fred This is on a 2 valve 285. I can find american bosch real easy but no luck on the robert bosch. This guy named stark with his little 237 keeps getting us by about 10' on every pull. A bird told me today he saw them messing with injectors We cant have anymore of this!!!

We are looking for a robert bosh pump from a 300-350 mack... We need more fuel on the pulling truck and the builder says this is where to start.. I can find plenty of American bosh pumps cheep but they will be no better than what I have now.. any leads would be great. Would consider trading our turned up pump for your stock robert bosch. I would just want to inspect its condition first and would pay shipping both ways if it was not up to our needs. Let me know. Trent Lmackattack@hotmail.com

How do I think... ok il try.... If I was working at a Mack truck dealer and we used a KW to drag in broke down Macks.. that would make us look like fools and that we dont think a mack is a very reliable truck. If I was working at ford dealer and used a Chevy to give test drives I would look like a fool. I own a mack because I have pride in them and invested intrest in making money with them. I never think about the share holder that has put his investment in the company. his investent will be gone as soon as he makes a buck off me buying more truck parts. The share holder should have little say in how things operate.or who can move company landmarks .Hell they dont even know how to check there oil in a car... If a company cant show respect to its own name what does that say about the company? But Back to your question on what to do.....go pick up that bat and go find Mr Volvo CEO..and dont bring your ball or catchers mit.. thats what I would do! capiche?

Personaly i think the 250 is weak. I can feel the diffrence in HP between a 250 and 300 and if its a low RPM 250 motor its even worse! it will do the job but I dont think you would like the change in HP... Find out if your 300 pump will fit the 250 and just have it timed and swap some parts to get it up to a 300HP

thats great news Rob.. My Girlfriends sister is almost thru with her Vet schooling as well its s tuff one...

and this is news to us LOL!!!!!!!! I would have never thought it was speculation HA HA HA!~~

See ya there with our black mack pulling

they loaded the dog into a freightliner.... F U C K V O L V O

let us know how it goes.. Sounds like you may be on to something.. boost looks good to me. but I know more about the mechanical engines. have little info with the new stuff. does it blow any black? most of the new elec engines wont.. if it is throwing black and there is no power it could be a boost isssue or something with the timing or turbo etc... hopefully that pedal reprogram gives it some life. I was not impressed with the lack of power with my friends 02' 427 mack with a 13 speed. my little 285 maxidyne with a 6 speed would walk away from it thru 1-4 gears and holds its own all the way to the middle of 5th gear.. h

If I recall the 2001-2004 Mack engines were said to be pretty weak when compaired to others with the same HP. I have driven a few that felt lifeless even empty. As soon as the engine felt like it was coming alive you had to shift. Even tho it would pull 80k it never felt like it wanted too. I think there was a program to turn up to 480HP but the EPA killed that a few years ago. ??

look near the top of the water pump. just behind it there will be a stamped number.. it would be near the top of the timeing cover. The 673 could be turbo or not. EN = Engine END = engine diesel ENDT= engine diesel turbocharged the numbers that follow the letters will desegnate the engine model such as a thyrmodyne, maxidyne, etc... and will also closely refrences the CID of the engine. http://www.oldmacksrus.com/Adobe_Pdf's...0%20Engines.pdf

that looks like "Sals" (look at the sticker on the door) Did he get a new one or change something on his old one? I think it looks sleak.. i would keep the dog on the hood but thats just me.. i give credit to anyone that can keep an old truck on the road and make money with it...

I like the macks for the off road but not everone is a mack fan. I agree that one of the down sides of the older macks was that they did not offer off breed "standard power" as a more common alternative options. I think that a good running 300 mack is just fine for the city but pull hills all day and that 500 cat looks alot better. the only down side I see with off breed power is that they all had higher operation costs and they were not as easy to work on as the old ENDT675-676 /E6 etc... I have only driven one mack that had an off breed motor and I like it. It was a 350 big cam cummins. it would run away from all the 300 macks in the hills but could not out pull from them stop lights with all the shifting going on.

were in odds in ends. this is the section to rant, rave, laugh, and cry... here is my out look that was posted on a diffrent message board put a bird feeded out in the yard and watch all the birds come eat for free, you feel good that you helped them out. a few weeks later the words out around "the Hood" and they all come and fight for the free food. next thing you know dead birds are around and they start to shit everwhere.. so you take the bird feeder away and they dont come around. alls well again.. too simple for the goverment to understand...

HA HA!!!! hell I cant even get in it that easy

HA HA!!!! hell I cant even get in it that easy

the dealers lot is still the only place to find them around here....

THAT WILL MAKE LIFE EASY !
