    And is the compressor supposed to "drain" it's oil into the crankcase somewhere, or is it just free floating oil in the entire acc drive? As none of my E6's seem to have an oil drain out of the compressor far as I can tell
  2. Full Floater
    Good to know. That helps narrow down what needs replacing.

    Old thread here. I have a that happening with one of my E6's. New compressor. It slowly makes fluid in the PS reservoir, it's black, it's engine oil. The filter is new, far as I know it's plumbed correctly. The oil would be coming from the compressor output shaft I guess. Would the failed seal be on the compressor, or the power steering pump?

    Well I as able to install 2 shims, 7/8" ID, 1 in either direction of movement in this joint. And that has taken up a majority of the slop. I am happy with the turnout. I would consider this a decent at home fix without having to have anything machined.

    Haha.

    Oh really? I ordered a gasket kit for it but I do recognize that some situations work better with silicone

    I need to pull the top cover, shift tower on a 107 six speed to replace some leaking gaskets. Is there anything in particular I need to watch out of in removal and installation? Springs that will fly out and end up on the other side of the yard? shifter orientation? Etc. Many thanks.

    Yes there is a conventional steering gear box and pitman arm/drag link on the left (drivers) side. Fluid also leaves the steering box to this assist cylinder on the passenger side. Which leads me to believe that it cannot be deleted as those ports in the steering box still must flow fluid somewhere
  9. Full Floater
    Yes, it's the passenger side. I have 3 westerns that range from 12k to 20k front axles and they all have them. The Easterns don't seem to have them.
  10. Full Floater
    How about deleting the steering assist cylinder?

    On the western model R's. They seem to have this steering assist cylinder, coupled to the frame with the specific U joint. I have 3 of them, all with a fair bit of wear. Mack has discontinued this part. What are our options for replacement or re and re? Thanks

    Ah, ok. Which is a better lifter, correct? For an future internal E6 work that I do, planned or unplanned. I'd like to upgrade the lifter and eliminate that problem.
  13. Full Floater
    On the topic of lifters. Is there an upgraded lifter style for the E6 engines?
  14. Full Floater
    I have a Walbro FRB series lift pump installed on the frame rail between the tank and the lift pump. It's a "pass thru" design that when not energized, the factory lift pump will simply pull thru it. I have it on a manual toggle switch so in the event of emergency air intrusion on the side of the road or filter change or whatever, there is no question that I will be able to get it to prime up fast

    Well I bit the bullet, and replaced the box with a reman one. Nice and tight now.
