I forgot to say that mechanical speedo's can be as much as 5MPH off. Fast or slow.

Dropping from 4.17 to 3.87 will increase your speed approx. 6MPH. This is how you figure road speed. tire factor x gear ratio x direct drive or overdrive, divided into the rpm's. EG. for 11.00R24.5, 4.17 ratio and Mack T-2090 transmission. 7.93 x 4.17 x .71=23.48. Now divide that number into the RPM's. Lets consider 1800RPM. Your speed is 76.6MPH. The tire factor for a 11.00R22.5 tires is 8.25. 7.93 and 8.25 represents brand new rubber height.

Here are the verisons of Six speeds. TRXL107 and 1071 or TRXL107A and 1071A. The A denotes air shift ILO of a double stick. The one(1) on the end denotes extra low hole 23.08 ILO 14.10. Why did Mack call it a six speed?? You only use LL in reverse or 1st hole, then use the other five speed when compound is in direct.Thats where you get the six speeds. Drove to many in the last 35 years.

Use low range only in reverse and 1st hole

List it on Ebay for one dollar($1.00). Then you will have a minimum fee. Have a buddy watch it for you and if it doesnt bring the value you are wanting have your friend bid so you wont lose it for a song and dance.

You dont have to buy a new shift knob, just cut the tap out to split.

Mack went to chassis mounted charged air cooling when the 4v head was introduced for the 1984 models.

The 07EPA engines were reliable but alot of Regen issues for the vocational markets not building enough heat to let the system regen on its own. One would have to do manual regen quite often. The EPA10 engines running DEF fluild are doing extremely good with very little regen issues. I would buy a the EPA10 engine over the EPA07 engine

He came to Tulsa in 1974 and jumped our Mack Trucks. The engine sounds like it has a bad valve seat popping back thru the exhaust.

The six cylinder 4V head was introduced in 83/84 area. The E7 were introduced in 89/90 area

Try 353GC1583P1. Mack does not show any. If this number is correct for you have your local Mack dealer call Lippert to see if they have any.

I went with plastic and stratoflex. I was going to go back with copper but felt if I'm out driving it is easier to fix plastic or stratoflex on the road. Plus I didn't want to bend the copper tubing. Rick

Need Info About Mh613 Mack
rick harper replied to wingman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Hey heavyhauler, Are you the one that bought the 8 hole wheel setup on ebay a few weeks ago. If so, I was the one that sold you that package. Rick -
Hello Everyone, Took about two years off the restoration because of a divorce. Now I'm ready to get back to the project. Just recently put the aluminum tube type wheels and tires on chassis. Will be putting the new wiring harness in next week. I have posted some new pictures. They are in my album and in the garage category. Will send more pictures when they are deemed. Rick Harper PS-wheels don't look bad for being 50 years old.
