hey dan, I got my rad and air2air from Hamilton radiator, good guy, his name is brad. You probably got good rad shop your way though, if not let me know. The air2air, we couldnt get a RW(V8), so we had to order one for a CL with the E9, and had to use adapter pipes. The elbos are shit! and have to use 2 extra bellows. the pipes shake too much and have pulled the bellow of the intake elbo at the motor end. I gonna get 2 new full lenght air pipes made with the proper bends at the air2air. bobo

the oakville, ontario plant was just tore down about a month ago! bobo

anti freeze or diesel fuell work well and will keep it from freezing! lol bobo

In Qc, lifts are not allowed, so twin steer are the only way to go. Ont will soon be the same way! bobo

How's this for luck.... just got done rebuilding my backhalf of my RTLO18b, new motor mounts, clutch, suitecase kit, fly wheel resurfaced, tranny yoke, a few ujoints, ect... Out on the test drive and bang crash BOOM! I get out to see WTF! oil is pissing out the side cover rear rear diff! a 25cent peice hole with a nice shiney peice of metal sticking through my crd203 diff! BOBO

get better Ernie!

mh, thats awsome! tell us what all you did for the tune up PLEASE! bobo

nope! if i did it should be by the 3 oil fiters correct? bobo

Im wanting to hook up a oil temp gauge on my E9 superliner, the truck was not built with the gauge,. I have looked for spots to put the sensor, on the back of oil cooler where oil pressure line comes off, I could tape into there, or I could just tee it off the gauge in the dash. any thoughts would help! bobo

I worked at westernstar for a few years, before Freightliner took over they were very well built trucks! bobo

chelsea or muncie is most popular. company trucks are 50/50 (tranny/crank) but any O/O i know of here, we all run crank mount. easier to use, trouble free, better flow, and oil stays warmer in winter. only problem is the extra lenght it adds to truck, Im 4" over lenght if i get caught using my 5 axle trl. bobo

most roll offs up here are crank mount pto, I wouldnt have my truck any other way!

is there a problem with trucks made in canada? Mack made shit loads of trucks here for years! Were they offshore junk? Hmm... Don't think so! Bobo

Im with the duck, POR15 is awsome but does need top coating and is alittle pricey. bobo

cab lights, roof vent and the silicon between the hood vent and the fire wall(water runs through the air duct and out the blower motor) bobo

Hey can you guys explain how to put a puff limiter bypass switch in a 1989 E9. We have smoke tests up here, so i dont wont to remove the system, just get around it? Is there a advantage, power wise with a bypass? I came along in the VmacI era, so not really skolled in the gaurd. bobo

hey my 2000 RB(005519) got hot today and shut down twice! 460 etech/eaton 18spd. tranny temp all day was 200+, idle temp was 190/200+, boost was good 34/35 psi, jake boost psi was down from 20/22 to around 10/12psi. new rad and coolent, oil cooler last year, done bubble test for head gasket/heads, new therstat and rad cap. viscus fan works good. the truck has always over heated. a few months ago the unloaders stuck in the comp. they were gummed up with poop! it builds air ok, but could it be super heating the coolent? it seems to have good flow, is there any way to check the air compressor?(its plumped properly) there does seem to be more oil in wet tank lately. water pump doesnt leak. i dont mind changing the compressor and or water pump, but times have been lean since us steel moved in to canada, by locking the employees out at the mills they bought! any thought??? bobo

Not a problem getting them the warehouse has lots of them still, just sucks that you gotta buy LOTS more than you really need! bobo

Yea the wing wiindow, Watts calls a vent window, up here we call it no draft. bobo

Does any one know if the rubber seal on the no draft frame can be replaced? I called the dealer today and they say no, I have to buy the whole no draft! glass and all. My frame and glass are in really good shape, just the outer seal from no draft frame to door shell is poop! Mack wants 180$ for parts i dont need!! bobo

bob0

hellohello i put the floor back down in the RW, any tips on hooking the cables up right? I rebuilt the peddle assembly. what gets setup 1st? the locking cable or the peddle? bobo

Nough said. Cool RL, does it run? we need to tell Barry we need sound on the site! bobo
