  1. Ok I under stand finding the 25 deg mark on the dampened,. And then Lousen the 4 bolts on the pump drive coupling.however I can see that the coupling has slots that only allow you to advance/ retard the pump about 30 deg. How do I know when the pump is obtaining port closing?will I feel it or do I need a tool to know. I think it's an ambac pump. Will have to get a pic soon. Thanks for your help
  2. Sled pull season is here and want a little more power. We removed the pump timing cover and see it can be adjusted. There are no marks on the gear just slots to pot the bolts in and adjust. I was hoping I could just bring it to tdc and advance the pump to say 24-25 deg and lock it down. Problem is I don't know where it will be at? What's the deal.
  3. 1st direct,rev out gear,flip to hi,release throttle,let rpm drop and fall into next gear, grab throttle and rev out gear, flip into direct, release throttle, move into 2nd hole...repete..
  4. The kits are hard to find. Best bet would be to search for a turbo rebuilding shop and ask them. That's how I found my rebuild kit for my Mitsubishi turbo on my Toyota ...may try precision turbo. I think they helped me. Make sure to check the threads on the shaft...i recall that the compressor side Sometimes are reverse threaded!!
  5. im sure glad I dont run more then a few days each month. I do my normal drive 14 hrs and then sleep 8-9hrs then drive another 14. East coast in a day West coast and southwestern states in 2 days...no bull shit government trucking here. On the other hand the old HOS rules did protect drivers from company abuse. so they are needed. the HOS rules today are a joke. too hard to follow and understand as each state seams to have a diffrent understnading of them. Im kinda wondering how these new electronic logs will be. part of me says it will just be that more simple to adjust the logs to my driving style and the computer will tell me where I made an error. Just like every new lock, there will be guys like me picking them....
  6. great pics thanks for sharing!
  7. 200 sounds normal to me in hi heat weather. A few simple checks would be to check belts and listen to hear if the fan clutch is operating. If that checks out test the temp gauge with a new sensor or gauge. You can also remove the water pump to check the blades are in good shape.
  8. I thought it sold and went over seas to a collector? I saw it at one of our local shows years ago but havent seen in a while?
  9. Well that was a fun Trip... dead headed out to Long Island Tuesday. Hit the G.W bridge at midnight and started lousing all my teeth from there to the L.I.E. Holy hell are those roads bad. They must pave them with the help of a compacter roller? got close to my destanation at 1 am and got a hotel. Next Morning I arrice where I had to blind side into a alley way with about 6" on either side of the truck. that took about 15 min and wore off about 4 years of clutch life. Loaded the 53' van by hand with no loading dock. did have 5 guys to help tho. one guy dropped a metal plate on his foot and had to be hauled out in an ambulance with a broken foot or ankel? He was hurt bad... Left there at 3pm and Headed to Thadddeus place near Queens N.Y. to pick up some stuff for Rob and Yep....made note to self, never ask a New Yorker if you can get a 65' truck down their street. if there is just 66' space it will go! LOL... I made it in but barely made it out. One way street cars double parked in a tight N.Y. neighborhood. Had to pay some guys to help load the stuff as it was heavy for 2 guys, one of them with a bum foot but we got it done quick. took out some tree limbs making a hard right hope they did not fall on any cars????Noticed every bridge in N.Y marked 12'6" ? Yet I made it under them all after coming to a complete stop and sticking my head out the window as a crawl under them slowly? Then off to N.J. to get my 12 speed. hit the L.I.E west bound under the Brooklyn Bridge and over the verrazaano narrows bridge to the NJTP. met some clown youngster container hauler in a Junk CH mack running up a incline in 2nd gear. For some reaseon he dident want me to pass in the far left lane. he tried to block the left 2 lanes so me and the trucks behind me could not pass him? State law says no trucks in the far left but Im just a Law braking Trucker.....Myself and another driver politely showed him over to the far right. Made it to NJ where I got my 12 Transmission and was heading home by 6PM.
  10. YEP. these would be great contenders to paccar products with some cab size updates and some basic driver ease of use modifacations. nice looking fleet there..
  11. I guess you could do as you said. if your worried about the exhaust gas in the tank trick.....My advice is to rince that tank out with soap/degreaser and water. let the hose run for about 30mins so that its pretty flushed out and clean. now stand the tank on end and drill the tank for your drain. put the cap on the filler neck and then Fill the tank with water through the drilled hole so that the water level is just below that hole. the water will take up most of the volume in the tank and reduce the risk of a big bomb. this is what I did when I welded my PTO hose fittings on my Tank.
  12. LAZR...I called you tonight..no answer.. I left you a message with my number. call me tomorrow if you want. Trent
  13. need something hauled cheep?? empty van trailer Chicago to NJ. IU leave Tuesday and return Thursday/Friday. If you need parts moved on the floor I can do it. I cant move trucks or very large items that need to be strapped down for safty reasons. I may have room on the return trip to chicago also. im picking up a 12 speed and other parts so should have space. call me Trent 847-738-8569
  14. I have some pics of the rollers and the whole set up. I might be up by my truck this sunday. I will get some pics of everthing for you so you can see how I did the swap. I was able to do the whole swap in an afternoon. I got your message. I will try to call you today. Regards Trent
  15. this pitt ohio truck is ugly.. its unfinished.. look at the gap from the bumper to the wheel? does anyone look at the finished product anymore? sad.... im sure its got good reviews and MPG etc.. but it sure needs alot of help in the looks dept
  16. Also... Did I meet you at the maggio truck show last year??? I was there with my RS700L.
  17. That's the same style superliner kit that is now on my RS700l.. don't change the front mounts.no need too... Did you have the arched bar bolted to the frame brackets/ solid mount at the rear of cab??? If so I can walk you through how I did my..? Swap.
  18. give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish he will eat forever. give a man a dollar and he will spend it. teach him how to make a dollar and he will earn thousands. steal from me once shame on you. steal from me twice, pay the price see the pattern Obozo has given out so much money to people that did nothing that I suspect that few will try to work another day in their life. and thats how he will attempt to win the next election. Fags,queens,blacks,mexicans, make up a huge portion of the population. now add in the idiot white folks and you have almost 50% of the nation sucking on his Tits just to servive. Wish I could move to an island and live life out like out founding fathers had wanted us to..
  19. was on the west coast all last week think I could count the total numbers of Macks that I saw on one hand... Sad
  20. I thought the RD was first to go then the RBs and DMs. there was a green one running around here but I lost track of it.
  21. the cabs are basicly the same from the firewall to back of cab. the diffrence is in the cowl. A superliner hood has straight flat sides where the R model hood has slanted sides and a diffrent body line. Trent
  22. Does the same for me...just turn the volume down.
  23. sounds like air in the system or the flow is to much for the filter. You can run without it. they did it for years untill someone thouht it needed a filter.. i run mine without a filter
