THATS NOT A VERY NICE THING TO SAY......SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD SOME BAD EXPERIENCES THERE, MARK

OK, SWITCHED MY B MOD FROM GEN. TO ALTERNATOR. ORIGINAL WIRING HAD A #8 WIRE GOING FROM BACK OF AMMETER TO LIGHT SWITCH, THEN TO FUSE PANEL. ( ASSUME THAT LIGHT SWITCH WAS HOT ALL THE TIME) NEW WIRING AND REPLACING AMM. WITH VOLTMETER....WHERE SHOULD I HOOK HOT WIRE TO ALTERNATOR FROM?? DIRECT OFF STARTER SOLENOID, OR FROM SOLENOID MOUNTED ON FIREWALL?? VOLT METER GETS ONE SIDE + TO IGN. SWITCH AND OTHER SIDE - TO ENG. GRND. CORRECT?? WHERE DO I CONNECT #8 WIRE THAT WAS GOING FROM AMM. TO LITE SWITCH??? FROM SOLENOID ON FIREWALL TO LITE SWITCH?? THE WIRING DIAGRAM ON WIKI DOES NOT SHOW HOOKUP FOR VOLT METER, SO I PUT THE QUESTION OUT THERE TO THE EXPERTS THANKS, RUSTY

84.....i thought the same thing.....the design guy must have quit mack and went to work for gmc.......

DEAN.....GOT THE SPRINGS YESTERDAY....THANK YOU VERY MUCH...WILL BE SENDING YOU A CHECK TOMORROW....I DID USE ONE OF THEM AND WILL HAVE HER BACK TOGETHER TOMORROW, THINK I GOT IT FIGGERD OUT.. RUSTY

14,.....REALLY? DID NOT REALIZE THAT YOUNG!!.....WISH BMT EXISTED WHEN I WAS 14!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY U MODEL VIN!!

UPDATE....DISCONNECTED GUAGE LINE BOTH ENDS..BLEW OUT W AIR..NOTHING BAD ..STARTED UP WENT UP TO 60 FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, THEN DROPPED TO 20-25PSI..REVVING MADE NO DIFFERENCE, NO PRESSURE/OIL SQUIRTING OUT OF BYPASS FILTER WHEN PLUG LOOSENED REMOVED PAN....SPRING INTACT, PISTON PULLED OUT EASILY...NOT SURE WHERE TO GO FROM HERE????

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO ALL THE GUYS TODAY!!

Dean..sent you a pm

IS THIS COVERED IN ANY OF THE WIKI TOPICS ON HERE?? I'M NOT THE BEST!

GUAGE AND LINE BRAND NEW....USED TO READ UP TO 60PSI...SHE WAS HOLDIN STDY AT 20+...SEEMED LIKE STARTED TO GO UP AS ENGINE WARMED..NO MOVEMENT WHEN REVVED

OK, CHARGING SYSTEM ISSUES CORRECTED..INSTALLED ALTERNATOR AS ADVISED BY ALL, (OR MOST); "MATCHED" SET OF MACK BELTS WEREN'T..THEY JUMPED..REPLACED....FUEL TANK PROBLEM CORRECTED..RE-INSTALLED AND FILLED UP..CHANGED ALL FUEL FILTERS, AND WANTED TO CHANGE OIL/FILTER BEFORE TRYING TO FINISH UP AND INSTALL FENDERS. CRANKED HER UP TODAY WITH NEW OIL, BELTS, ETC.....AND I ONLY GOT LIKE 20-25 PSI OIL PRESSURE!! ENGINE SOUNDS OK, NO KNOCKS, NOISES OR SUCH....COULD THE OIL GUAGE LINE BE CLOGGED UP?? I ALSO REMOVED AND CLEANED LOWER PAN/SCREEN WHEN OIL SVC. USED 15W40 FROM NAPA......ANY THOUGHTS??

$$ EVERYTHINGS BIGGER IN TEXAS

Yeh Mark......I got some wood for her to chomp

CUTE!! THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN CANTON, FARMER!! :clap:

PPPEEEERRRRTTTYYY

NOW THINGS ARE STARTIN TO WARM UP A BIT

MY GUESS IS THAT THE DUMP DOESN'T WORK, SO THEY HAVE TO CART 8 GUYS TO UNLOAD IT BY HAND

NOW THATS FUNNY RIGHT THERE!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Is that a horn button in there?? worth almost as much as the cab??? not really but i think 125 at watts??

I agree with Rob....I always have problems with shrinkage when its this damn cold out

Maddog...i dont wanna get you mad.....but what would the results be like just cleaning the rust out,(loctite naval jelly) and rinse/neutralize the tank. If fuel kept full and treated would this work for any length of time? thx

Steel, Rob.....by the way I'm now an alternator man!!!

I WOULD BUY IT ......CEPT THE AIR HORNS FALLIN OFF

AND THE NEW OWNER IS????????

HAS ANYBODY EVER COATED INSIDE OF FUEL TANK?? CURIOUS ABOUT PROCEDURE/RESULTS THX
