1100 24 tires
tjc transport replied to 1wonton's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
yes you can replace them. with either 1100R24, or 1200R24 tires if you want to run the tube style tires and rims. Firestone, Bridgestone, and goodyear still make 24 inch tube style tires. if you want to go to a tubeless tire, go to a 11R24.5, or a 12R24.5 -
what is it? i clicked on it and saw a couple truck pictures.

when we first got my 713, the fan staid lock on also. took me three months to figure out what was wrong with it. the AC was overcharged. pulled 14 ounces freon out of the ac, and fan started working properly. the 14 ounces overcharge raised the high side pressure to almost 375 psi. and the high pressure switch locked the fan on at 335 PSI

What is bmt wiki?
-
Barry, i was wrong in saying "new format" . what i should have said was new theme. the appearance of the new theme is just different enough to make you think hmmmmm what is different? but with it also came a few things that moved to unseen locations, like the sign out button.

MACK lives Matter

i saw this one the other day. yall southern folk will not get it, but the northerners will.

click on your user name, sign out is on the bottom of the pop up screen. i actually prefer this new format. simple to read and easier to see with the old eyes.

if the fuel pump gives out you will have low fuel pressure and no power. i lost a the fuel pump on my 99 driving down the road. went to take off from a light, and could not make 40 mph. i tried making it the two miles home, and was only doing 15 mph by the time i got in the yard. pulled the fuel filters and the primary filter was only half full. changed the pump and the next day i was back walking away from the t800 with C15 engine

i would check fuel pressure, and turbo boots for boost leaks.

TPMS for class 6 and up
tjc transport replied to Miami Cossack's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
i have only had two steer tires blow out and go flat in less than two seconds due to road debris. and TPMS would not have helped in either of those situations. as far as driving on a tire going flat from a leak, i can feel it. but then again, i have been driving for 51 years. large trucks for 45. -
i have no idea what it even is. i use full site on the phone, and everything works just fine except for "mark all read" it is probably there, i just have not found it yet because i am still learning how to use the phone. i have only had it about three weeks.

back when i was a youngun, i ran one of them tandem dump truck for a few weeks helping a friend while he was sick and could not drive.. it had a 190hp cummins with a quad box.

Fargo trucks were made between 1913 and 1930' but the Canadian Dodge , AKA the fargo was made from 1935 to 1972

a local contractor had a bighorn for many many many years he used to pull his lowboy trailer. he finally replaced it with a T800 when it would not pass emissions two years ago.

ok, the cabover duplex firetrucks. i have seen plenty of them.
-
same here. looks a lot like an international
-
I would find the leak first. There may not be anything wrong with the air bags.
-
well, it has been sitting for a while, you can tell by the mud splash on the tires. but not long enough for the tires to sink into the ground
-
very carefully!!! 😁
-
people will say anything to make a sale. i know of two that were here in New Jersey over the past 10 years with detriot power from the factory.
-
if the bags deflate with engine shut off, you have a leak somewhere. if they stay deflated with engine running and air at 120lbs, there is a problem with the valve or link to the valve.
-
sounds like the air valve for the cab air bags is bad/bent and keeping the air bags deflated.

Dump Body design ideas
tjc transport replied to ivanuke's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
single cylinders are used because they are cheap. a better setup is dual cylinders outside the frame like a roll off has, or the best there is is three cylinder setup.
