220cummins

Yep this one is a DDEC IV 430/470hp. I have to say even with this many miles the cam, rod, and main bearings are all wore even with not major scoring or heat markers. Had it not been for the coolant burning up when I first had it running I would have said it might have just been an injector causing the miss because it wasn't noisy or rapping. That would have been before the compression check.

I had mine blasted with no problem in the spring of the year outside in the hot sun. I didn't have any warping problems. Like you said the sheet metal is pretty thick along wiith almost no flat panels; cab has curves everywhere. The noozle they used to blast mine had like a 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" opening shooting Black Beauty. It was quick work and they moved pretty fast not staying in one spot to long. Anyways the truck is looking like its coming along real good! Nice Job!

Main on the left aux on the right? Sure its not a seperate aux, like a brown-lipe(brownie) or spicer?

Good luck cause thats really a fair price for the condition and options.

That's what the machinist called it! I forgot what it was called. He also said it shouldn't be a problem to the head of block because all the damage was confined to the inside of the fire ring which shouldn't affect sealing of the head.

Schneider drivers lol wow. From what I'm told by the machinist who is checking the head and does some 20 or more series 60 a year the cranks are pretty stout and have to be put thru hell to break. In this case he said, the reason for the pistons come apart is usually due to a weak design of piston in some series 60. Im looking forward to doing this job as it's a learning experience and a little different than a Mack or a Cummins.

This 1998 Volvo with a Series 60 Detroit came into the garage with the owner saying there was a slight engine noise. Pulled the dipstick to see it was over full, it looked murky and white a sure sign of water. Then I tried to get it running with a few shots of silicone spray and it fired right up albeit clouds of white smoke or burning coolant. I shut it off drained the oil and found the pieces in the first picture(minus the valve) attached to the pan magnet. Next it was disassembly to fin out what those pieces were. I was thinking piston or liner. After further disassembly the second picture is of the parts that were in the intake manifold. The piston came apart and some went in the down in the oil and some went up into the intake. Here is after the head was pulled. You can see the piston top wedged in the liner (which was cracked-hence the coolant in the oil) and the wrist pin still attached with the bottom half of the piston moving with the rotating assembly. The bottom of the head looks bad but salvagable and is now at the machine shop getting tore down. Kinda got lucky that it broke the intake valve and not the exhaust and completely wiped out the turbo or other cylinders. Needless to say I am now doing a complete inframe overhaul. Not bad for an engine that has close to 900k on it and has never been touched before.

That burgandy and silver MH is one sharp looking and spec'd truck!!! WOW

HAHAHA IT'S APRIL FIRST!

Some older turbos have "muffler device" cast on them which negates a muffler and "noise restrictions"

That's better than hearing the the big C is back! Good luck on those horse pills!!!

They'll fit. Might not be a direct bolt on but they'll fit

Or called pregnant roller skates lol

@shawn. It could be old fuel, stuck plungers, or injectors that need cleaned up. I've found that somestimes taking the injectors out and just a simple clean with carb and choke cleaner with make a difference. You could always pull the pump and take it along with the injectors and have them gone over on a bench at an injection service shop. I just sent out a Roosta-Master pump and four injectors for a Waueska diesel it cost $600 for the pump to be rebuilt,injectors flow tested and serviced. The little Waukesha never ran as good as it does now.

Sounds like spam to me.

Atleast someone has a sense of hmour around here!

I agree. Sometimes it feels like beating your head against a brick wall.

Who owns and produces trucks at their Saltillo Truck Manufacturing Plant? I''l give you a clue....this compaNy produces Cascadias. There have been complaints of the quality from day one. Recently Freighliner annoucnced it's 100,000 truck made in its Mexican Plants for use in country and export to Latin America,Canada and the UNITED STATES. Thats 100,000 trucks NOT made or supporting local economies here in the UNITED STATES. Now compare them to Mack. All exports to the world are made In MACGUNGIE,PENNSYLVANIA NOT -Santiago Tianguistencoedo de Mexico, Mexico OR Municipio de Saltillo, Coahuila Mexico like Freightliner. Navistar- International ProStar Plus Class 8 on-highway tractor is produced at its plant in Escobedo, Mexico. Those trucks and manufacturers make up a large portion of market share that are direct competitors with Mack. Mack has still made a profit and produces trucks to compete with these "American Owned not Swedish owned all the profits stay here companies." Granted the profits do stay here to a degree but what do they have to show for themselves? Shuttered Plants and jobs never to return. But hey maybe the big shots at Navistar or Diamler bought themsleves a bigger house (built by mexicans) or a new BMW or Mercedes. They might contribute some back to the economy but not the way a plant employing 1000 or more workers does when the trucks are made here on the US soil. I am not, have been, or probably ever will be an employee of MACK,RENAULT,OR VOLVO so I have no vested interest in any PR or Web trolling for any such company. I am a owner,restorer,mechanic,driver,lover of Macks and US made products. On the flipside, what if Volvo didn't buy Mack? What if Navistar or Daimler bought them? I will make a guess we wouldn't be talking about trucks currently being produced in Macgunie but talk about how they once were along with Hayward and Oakville. Times have changed, owners have changed, but a quality MACK IS STILL MADE IN THE USA. You have to give credit to Volvo for holding that part true. It could be way worse. Ask people who once worked at the Freightliner plant in Portland on how they feel of the Daimler plants south of the border....

I would have to disagree. Buying a mack product today is very patriotic. You're supporting the AMERICAN workers in the Macgunie plant, the AMERICAN workers at the hq in nc, the AMERICAN workers at the dealerships and service centers, and all the satellite AMERICAN located suppliers. You will be supporting the AMERICAN economy. Ask your International or Freightliner salesman if all of their trucks are produced in the USA like Mack? The salesman should say "no were an multi-national business with international production facilities some of which are located in North America". He actually means "we sell trucks everywhere and produce a large portion in MEXICO" Regardless if Volvo is from Sweden, they have a large interest in the production,sales,service network that is located in the USA that directly effects the USA economy. Buy a Mack and be PATRIOTIC!

Pretty much sums it up.

Bottomline is, if you want to look and sound professional and take some heat off your case if you would get stopped in your antique truck, get a CDL. Treat the truck and license as commercial even if it's not and keep the fuzz off you ass. it's as simple as that.

IMHO thats a crock of crap. That's nothing but a big scheme and money maker.

I don't think you have to go thru a school. What happens if a business wants to train a new-hire w/o a CDL? Thats how I got mine but then again that was 9 years ago.

I've never seen exhaust like that. It looks small and home made.
