I doubt it. Somebody can correct me here but I imagine if the oil pressure is low enough to cause major engine damage it will shut off and not restart. I would think an ETech would have these electronic protections by 1999. This happened to me with a model year 1994 DDEC III Series 60 Detroit and the engine shut down light came on. I used the override button for a time but got to a point where it shut itself off and wouldn't restart. I have a more detailed write up on it somewhere here on the forum with the whole story but what it amounted to was the #5 injector was seriously malfunctioning dumping lots of raw fuel into the cylinder and getting past the rings. Crankcase was so overfull that when I drained it out the mixture was so thin I was able to dump it back in the fuel tank of an old farm tractor and it burned it like regular off road fuel. Not a lick of damage to the engine. I think I got lucky but I also think that if the oil pressure is too low the ecm will protect itself from an idiot 🤣. Mine went from running normal to broke down in less than 2 hours and yes there was very noticeable signs and symptoms but I kept running it. I was young, dumb, and an idiot. As far as I know that engine was removed from the truck when I sold it and put in a much newer truck and as far as I know is still running like a sewing machine to this day. In my case it suddenly developed a very noticeable noise. From within the cab while driving it sounded like an exhaust leak so I kept going. Then when it all came to a head I was on a major interstate in an 8 or 10 mile long single lane construction zone with jersey barriers on each side. Nowhere to pull over. Fun times.....

Those tables are in the E6 and E7 engine overhaul and service manuals

I am just curious if the blue house right along the road in the foreground of the attached photo was destroyed. Also, It might be too soon to ask but do you think any of this will be covered by any type of insurance?

Was browsing the auctions today and saw the Hendrickson from this thread is selling today. @storkmack was fixing it up about two years ago. He hasn't been on the forum since June of 2023. Anyway I saw it for sale and remembered this thread so I thought I would post an update. This truck has been around a good bit lol. I'd love to have a Hendrickson in my collection some day and this one would be perfect, however I just purchased a farm and "frivolous" expenditures just aren't in the cards right now. 🤣 1967 HENDRICKSON BD410F12 | Online Auctions | AuctionTime.com

I couldn't help but wonder if there was a Google street view of this area (Old Fort Rd). Turns out there is. For context this is what the last image Dean posted on Monday looked like prior to the hurricane (March 2023) I have reattached it for a side by side reference....Insane to say the least.

In the 80s Mack did not make their own sleepers or build trucks with integral sleepers until the CH model came out. A buyer or company would have to have an after market unit installed after they purchased the truck or possibly the dealer could have before they delivered it to the customer. Because of this the sleeper could have been from a variety of makers. The two most common brands that got put on Macks of that time were Able Body and Rest Rite. But like I said the sleeper at that time could have been anything. I think Geography played a big role on what sleeper got put on a Mack back in those days. Where was Beelman from?

He sounds like a quintessential mobster.

When you team drive is your codriver's handle Wolfman? Hopefully you get the reference LOL.

Yea I didn't want to sound like a $hithead but honestly after 3 trips from Georgia to Tennessee, the hotels, parts, Lost time not working and potentially breaking down half way home he'd probably be money ahead or money equal to just have it towed. Like what's your time worth?

Absolutely under no circumstances should you use ether or starting fluid on a Mack ASET engine. It will wipe out the ceramic lifters before you even realized what you did. Big No-No. Other than that it sounds like a classic fuel starvation issue. If it runs good for a while then it has compression so no issue there. Obviously there are a lot of electronics and an ECM involved on an ASET AI, which could be a culprit, however, from the story you tell it sounds like its running out of fuel. Any indication from the previous owner why they parked and/or sold it?

Its funny how they say abortion is A OK but if a pregnant woman gets murdered its a double homicide.

The antique B model twin stick transmissions were true 10, 14, 15, 18, and 20 speed transmissions meant to be split shifted because the engines of the time had a very narrow power band, had very little torque rise and were not designed to be lugged below 1500 rpm. A Mack of this vintage with an EM6 285 is a Maxidyne engine has a very wide operating rpm range like 1100 - 2100 rpm so only 5 gears are needed. The guidance is correct that your transmission isn't meant to be split. This is mainly because the sequential splits are not progressive shifts. There are probably combinations of the two boxes that will work in certain scenarios but they are not all numerically lower progressive shifts from 1 Lo. Technically that transmission is supposed to be used with the main box in 1st when the auxiliary is in Lo. Then once you get moving shit the auxiliary to direct. then the main to 2, 3, 4, and 5. Reverse has 5 speeds that can be shifted while moving. I doubt you would cause harm to it using the auxiliary Lo in gears other than 1st so long as your not grinding or jamming them in.

Doesn't the UK have different voltage and/or frequency than USA? Might not want to plug anything into that. Nevertheless its a block heater but I would verify what type of power it requires before I would use it in your case....

Saw this beauty while browsing FB Marketplace. Certainly a collector quality truck with all the desirable specs. Lots of $$$$$ though.....No affiliation. Just passing along. Its close to me if anyone wants me to look at something for them. 1980 Mack Superliner E9 V8 - Commercial Vehicles - Eastvale, Pennsylvania | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook

Demountable / Dayton 9x22.5s are getting extremely hard to find and expensive.

Looks like you should purchase some new tires too. Those two at the 5&6 position look pretty thin.

purchase a new one with the correct tree / ride height.

I would say a lot more information is needed. First off, what year is the truck? If its mechanically injected and no ECM then you are probably limited to the Allisons that require no electronic controls. Would any of those even be suitable for this application? Then you run into mounting / crossmember issues. Are 80k rears planetary drive? Might run into ratio problems but probably not in this use case. I'm guessing you probably never get above 15 mph on flat ground but definitely something that would have to be checked....ratio of your rears. There might be other things in play but honestly I can't see how this would be worth it. Just get another TRXL 107, or overhaul the existing one and put it back in. You probably never come out of 1st direct anyway. With everything involved, an Allison swap would be hard to justify to travel 2 miles per day on flat ground.

Ironically when I was on my way to Macungie I saw a brand new Scania dump truck being transported on a lowboy heading East across the PA turnpike near Mt. Joy, PA. I was driving so I couldn't get a picture but it was definitely a brand new single axle Scania. It had maybe a 12 or 13 foot dump body on it and had super single tires on all four wheels. And it had very large Allison Transmission decals across the side of the dump box. It looked like a promotional vehicle for Allison.

To be honest that is the only reason I didn’t drag that long hood Road Boss home that was sitting next to your truck. I didn’t feel like going through all that bureaucracy and red tape only for them to tell me no. Not even sure how much worse it would have been since it was out of state. That and I had just purchased another one not too long before you found that one. O well. At least you got yours sorted out.

I still burn anthracite in a hand fed stove. Nothing like it in the word. The best solid fuel heat source period. I'm surrounded by bituminous coal that is really pretty cheap, however you might as well just burn wood and save yourself some hassle. Anthracite by me has crept up to around $400/ton the past few years. I think out there picked up directly at the breakers is still around $350/ton. In todays money every heaped bucket in that 992 is probably $5000+

I don't know when the 1693 Cat was released, however I have known of one DM800 with a factory 1693. I don't remember the year of the truck but I think it was around 1970. The DM and R models where released in 1965-1966 respectively I think. So the las B model would have been around 1966. Were 1693s even available then?

If you can't find someone by word of mouth you can try UShip. Its a very easy app/platform to use. I used it on my last iron acquisition and was very pleased. It seems very daunting at first but at the end of the day someone who owns a tractor and lowbed (owner operator) is doing the work. Its just dealing with the brokers that can be a little annoying. Uship itself is a broker that puts your load out to actual freight brokers who compete for your business. Once you select a freight broker, they put the load out to O/O load boards. To give context, I got a full size farm tractor that did not run moved from Central Illinois to Pittsburgh, PA for right around $800. They made me pay half up front and then when the driver unloaded and let them know they charged my credit card for the balance. It was a completely painless transaction. I would use them again If I had the need.
