Paul confused us all with a couple pictures of his clutch. He's probably thinking " wtf did these guys do first time they got a look in a Playboy magazine ?" The 1/2" should be between where the bearing and clutch brake is where it would squeeze against the front of the transmission. Which we can't see that in the pictures. Gotta remember, the more the big ring is turned to adjust it, the less holding force the clutch has.

I made a tool for that. Sometimes the ring isn't very cooperative.

I meant Paul down under. Wouldn't surprise me that type was popular there.

🤔 I have a feeling a guy named Paul has some input on this subject.

That clutch isn't something I've ever encountered. It's definitely a Spicer angle spring, but even the release yolk looks different than I'm used to seeing.

Almost looks like that (adjustment) plate could be swapped for a push in and turn adjuster . If the ring would move....or you could find one in Ireland in the first place.

Yeah.... how foolish were those pirates ? No wonder yo don't hear about them anymore.

Hard to tell , almost looks like there's no clutch brake either. Hard to tell how big it is too. Worst case if an attempt to service it in the truck doesn't work, replacements are available that'll go right in there without much trouble.

priceless

Can't help but wonder who's in the pictures.

I never saw one like that. Looks like some kind of self adjusting 14" angle spring. Might be it's worn to a point there is no adjustment left. I really don't know, but it sure has me curious.

Sorry

YES. Funny thing, we used to produce women like that here in Pennsylvania. Now....

I wasn't sure. I only remember her checking out under the car before it blasted off. You know, she was always bend'n over looking for leaks or something that might cause a problem.

Hey........ I think Jungle Pam had that "boobage" thing going on.

Yep, I Shift. I guess that's why they're not 800 horse. Paul was right (again) I was reading about them for almost an hour. Then there's the part about them running on vegetable oil.

Probably not much different than something with a KT in it years ago as far as weight goes. Do wonder what transmission would put up with it pulling a road train down under.

Can you picture the flip flop wear'n VNL drivers (lol) with one of those ? 😂 drivers

That's the reverse light switch.

I think that monster Paul referrenced is the newer 17 litre. 2800 lb/ft of torque 🤯

2800 pound / feet ???? HOLY F@#&

Been my experience EGR engines do not have air compressors fed from intake manifold air. Macks seem to draw fresh air from tapping into the ducting somewhere between the air cleaner and the turbo inlet. Usually with a rigid steel line and a couple little leghths or hose on both ends. Great idea as the rigid steel line often rotted or clamps rotted off it and it'd wear through and basically allow the compressor to have no filtration. On the other side ??? those compressors are pretty much bulletproof other than maybe replacing the head assembly . That being said, still doesn't change that short times between cycles is air leaks somewhere after the air compressor discharge port. They can be tricky. Sometimes you may think a little tiny leak means nothing.....but they do.

Wheels of Time has more adds than anything anymore. Used to well worth being a member just for getting that.....now ????

Loctite on the "new" bolt
