Thanks fjh I know all about the pain in the floor! boB0

Replacing the rails will not solve the problem! you need a cross member on or slightly ahead and on or slightly behind where the lift axle hangers are. doesnt matter if its a steerable or not you need cross members! look at other truck and get back too me! the b0bo!

I ripped up the carpet in the superliner tonite, getting it ready to put factory rubber floor down. Having never done a clutch or tranny in a RW, it doesnt look like the floor needs to come up to get at the bell housing bolts, like it does in a RB? to me there is more than enough room to go from underneath or from engine bay? Ive only ever pulled trannys out of RB's, and they are a pain in the ass! SO... my question is, does the floor have to come up in a RW to pull the tranny? B0bo

Yes Midnite Im with you! IMHO when ever you have a hanger, whether its spring or air. THERE HAS TOBE A XMEMBER! or it will crack time and time again! put new rails on and it with crack again! I can remember when I work for Mack, we were replacining Xmember on RB's and RD's dump trucks all the time. Thats when the % peice Xmember came out. bobo

I like the dynamat product, but too expensive! I use a roofing material called "ice and water" get it at lowes or homodepot. Its easier to work with and Ive done 3 R cabs on 1 roll(78$) jB0bo

For what it worth rob put one in. I was ready to pull my tranny out of the RB(!PAIN IN THE ASS!), when my parts guy says "change the isolater" so I took the boot off and guess what NO ISOLATER on the shaft! So I go back to the dealer and 1 is billed out on my acc. sittn on the counter waitn for me, as Randy comes around the corner he says "your RB wasnt built with one!" you m********ker! we have a love hate relationship! I did my apprenticeship there! b0b0

hey rob have you checked the shift tower isolater? If it doesn't have one or its wore out it makes an awfull racket only heard in OD cause you're in it the longest. they a very easy to install take tower out cut, and weld(or bolt) isolater in. ALL EASIER,FASTER and CHEAPER than a diffent tarnny! B0bo

hey most painters I know use sata or deVilbiss, we used deVl. gti620.

My local body supplier carries it. Its made in England, they got bought out by US Chemical & plastics. Its a great paint for the price! why pay for a name?! now that the cabs done the fun begins!

I hate L-N as much as wilson starters! GO WITH THE DELCO! up here we buy alt's and starters from the either Mack or Sterling/FL dealers, the cheapest around and not off shore junk! b0b0

Thanks Rob It gets frustrating at times, but its worth the effort! The frame turned out great, I cut it inline with the x-member, that way i took advantage of the x-member bolts to help alg. and stiffner it up. I used por15 on the mating frame rails and apox. on the outer surfraces. I am painting the cab sat morn @ 6am, think you can be here by then? I buy you breakfast!! mmm..Canadian back bacon eh! Bob0
