    That oil fill being down there with the spring loaded cap suggests to me that engine is originslly from a late 60's DM, R, or U model. The ones I encountered from that era had that setup, then in the early 70's they switched to a twist on oil cap.

    T Bone, I see in your info that your 59 Mack is listed as a B61. This would indicate that the truck was originally equipped with a naturally aspirated Thermodyne engine. If it was originally equipped with a turbocharged Thermodyne it would be a B613. Someone apparently dropped a turbo motor in there at some point. It could be a ENDT673A, ENDT673B, ENDT673C, a END711 with the factory retrofit turbo conversion, or a ENDT 675 Maxidyne. The only way to tell for sure is to read the engine model # stamped in the block just in front of the inj. pump, on the surface just behind the timing case cover. .

    The nose on that thing reminds me of a V*lv*.

    April Fools!!!!!!!!!!

    And I'll bet the truck probably hasn't been greased since the last time that filter was changed!!!!!!

    Vee out the crack, weld it up, and grind it off smooth so it's not noticeable. A crack in the frame if discovered by a DOT inspector is instant O.O.S.

    Thanks Rob! Actually, I was gonna call you. The boss wants you to make an offer on that lathe. Sounds like he wants it outta there. Other than that, nothing much going on except the usual!

    I drill a 1/4 inch hole thru the stud, then use the torch to make a few slices from the hole outward, till I see the threads start to show. Then take a half round ended chisel and drive the pieces of stud toward the middle, and remove them. Then I run a tap thru the hole to clean up the threads. That method also works good when those 2 threaded into the housing spring box bolts on the right side of a camelback suspension are broke off in the housing.

    Yeah, that would be an "easy" one to remove, just heat the hub around the stud , give the end of the stud a couple slams with a hammer to "shock" it, then grab it with a stud remover or a pipe wrench & unscrew it! When they break off flush or slightly below the surface, then the fun begins!!!

    237. There's no tip turbine intercooler on it, just a pipe from the turbo to the intake manifold.

    Check to make sure the switch on the clutch pedal is not out of adjustment or defective. That's a common cause of no Jake brake operation.

    Yup, it's a TRXL 107 or TRXL1071, and the sticks are bent R model style. Maybe the seller failed math class.
  15. HK Trucking
    Uhhhhh, no, I don't believe so.

    I've been on there for over a year now. My daughter Ashley told me I "needed" a Facebook page, and I remember saying "WTF do I need that for". Then after I got into it, it's fun, found lots of people I knew from the past, & also made a lot of new friends. .

    If all the external throttle linkage is free, and the actuator arm is secure on the governor shaft, and the actuator arm is returning all the way against the idle adjustment screw then the governor or the rack & plungers in the injection pump are partially stuck. You're lucky it didn't rev out of control and self destruct!!!
  18. HK Trucking
    That's a combination double check valve/stoplight switch.
  19. HK Trucking
    I agree Glenn! It's lucky it didn't take somebody's head off! .
  20. HK Trucking
    I don't see a water pump shaft or fan.

    Worn brake camshafts & camshaft bushings can also prevent auto slack adjusters from working correctly.

    Are you sure it's an actual mechanical problem causing the lights to stay on? The fact that ABS, air pressure, and stop light are all on at the same time and refuse to go out even though the truck is operating satisfactorily suggests to me an electrical problem in the warning light circuit. I must say I am not familiar with a DAF, so this is just based on my experience with American made trucks.
  23. HK Trucking
    Yup. That's a spacer.
  24. HK Trucking
    That engine is roughly a 1972 or newer, because it has the newer style thermostat housing and spin on water filter.
