    Problem is the turbo is pulling in more air than the filter can Handel. I need a bigger filter/housing or some way to let it breath better. I have not had it on a dyno. Stock it's a 550hp 5ek model. I would think it might be near 575hp with the simple mods. But the way it pulls hills now....I find I run down them slower and go up them faster lol....

    The mechanical will pull better easy to maintain. Electronic better on fuel. I would take a mechanical all day long.

    I bumped up the fuel pressure, added ram air inlet scoop, and had someone put in hot injector codes on my 3406E. Now my air restriction gauge measures to 3/4 restriction even with a new filter. The filter is under hood with the air inlet on the driver side cowl. Cowl has ram air scoop. What are some options to let this thing breath better. Any filter options. For reference I can pull mt eagle on I24 in TN at 55-58 mph with 72,000 lb gross weight. not bad! Lol...

    Good to know.. I remember when paulmbo was a big trucking outfit. Seams they down sized big time with the scandle. They seamed like the biggest outfit here in the 80's now it's rare to see them out in full fleet on the road.

Those are some of the largest Macks left here in Chicago.... if they are still around? those look awsome. might still be more common sight out east as but I have never seen any this big in and around Chicagoland

    Yea...the dumbing down of America... Forgetting how to exit your truck that you drive each day....that's like saying I can't go to work because I might forget how to get home.

    My guess is that the state held onto them, tried to charge for storage for over 2 years of the investagation. Fees added up to more than the truck was worth and auctioned off as salvage.Iirc K konstruction was being looked at for stolen trucks and truck parts. But no charges were brought...I know they lost 50% of thir fleet and got just a few tractors and old frameless dumps back to wich most are for sale at their yard on rt12

    Yep..
  11. Lmackattack

    Long story about the yellow r models...the state police raided that guys yard. Shot and killed his dog. Went looking for stolen trucks. In pounded all his tractor,trailers,and machines. Later no charges were filed or they could not build a case. Some trucks were returned but most found their way to auction sites. The guy was accused of selling drugs and was a known hot head but that did not justified how he lost all his stuff to the state. His yard is a mile down the road from me.

    On my rs700l my ad9 is factory mounted behind the passenger fuel tank. It changes from copper to rubber hose near the front of the fuel tank.

    Al glad you brought that up... When I was a kid I went to a dentist near Rt14 and Virginia street? Some where near there I saw that huge Mack belly dump looking thing. I have never seen a pic of one like it before. I did not know if it really was a Mack because the name plate was very different from what I had seen before.... Thanks for keeping this thread alive.

    Back home were getting sloppy wet snow and rain. But I'm down in central fl in 80* temps wearing shorts and taking sips off of a glass with an umbrella in it.

    Well I guess we Can add them to the list of people that we won't recommend . I respect anyones opinion but do feel sorry for such shallow minded people. He is not a true trucker or hobbiest in my mind..

    in that vintage a 250 was a thermodyne. Without intercooling. Often used with 10 or more speeds. Looks like a 237 but many people swapped over basic parts to convert an old engine into a more user friendly design..I.e spin on filters..

    I give full permission ,not that it was needed to ask anyways...I have more class than to complain that my truck was chosen to be shown off.its nice to know someone thought highly of my truck to use it as a mack dealer t shirt.... Cough....I would however like to know when more shirts are made. I would like to buy a few...cough...
  22. Lmackattack
    Good idea... There are a few of mine on there. Better yet just tell him to remove them and don't give him a clue to where they are at.. All these years i had respect for him and now find out He is a joke
  23. Lmackattack

  24. Lmackattack
    yea that's a roll off trailer. Waste management has some around here as well... I guess it's for larger or heavy dumpsters?
  25. Lmackattack
    Think some were the same as r models. Just brackets were clocked differently...?.
