i watched a youtube vid where they made a cheap air conditioner out of a small cooler,cut a hole in the top of the lid and put a fan on it blowing in one side,on the other side of lid they put a pvc 90 degree elbow blowing air out and filled it with ice,simple and effective way to make cold air

has anyone used the mystic JT 7 gear oil yet?
slingblade replied to slingblade's topic in Driveline and Suspension
in the roadranger repair manual it recommends 50wt for extreme cold climates,85/140 is a bit too thick here for the winter,they did mention that the EP additives cause seal issues if the oil gets over 250 degrees,not an issue with mine,im already experiencing issues with the hi/lo syncro and slight delay going into hi,i listen for the clunk before going back on the throttle and i does good,sometimes i press the clutch to make sure that theres no preload on the gears when going into hi range which also helps, -
on alot of other transmissions with many hard miles ive seen the stack shims wear causing excessive clearance between the gears which will cause it to jump out of gear also,,most transmissions call for 005 to 011 clearance at the end of the gear stacks on the shaft,

going through the same issues with my superliner,mix and match,,

im also installing A/c on my superliner using a compressor bracket from an RD that i modified to work on the left side of a NTC Cummins for the York compressor,a condensor from a 379 Pete shortened 6 inches to clear the crossbar on the hood,some butcher removed everything except the inside unit under the dash and cut the hoses,

'74 Cabover Gorgeous truck
slingblade replied to Dirtymilkman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
really nice old cabover,i drove my dumptruck from sedro willie Washington to outside of Atlanta in mid may,and it was still tricky with the weather esp. in montana,good luck with it,, -
thats how my 85 superliner with the 13 spd road ranger is set up,mine is a 3 stage jake,i leave it on low to shift,when its on high and i need to shift i lightly touch the clutch pedal to keep it open circuited,the E motors are set up different and you can leave them on and it wont activate when your off the pedals,
