    Everytime I see a post about a truck that was 'purpose built' I smile... wish we had the same engineers today. They built trucks for specific needs, i assume they talked with operators about how to improve the use-abilty of a truck, and may have talked to mechanics about ease of maint. and repair.. Wishful thoughts I guess. I look at todays trucks and all I see is a mess.. liken to trying to work under the hood of a fancy front wheel drive automobile... Ok... am I out to lunch ?

    i never measured them. they were usually obviosly broken. there is some space for movement. youll know it when they go bad. do you see shinny metal edges or any signs of rubbing..?
  4. Joey Mack
    Yep square mounting plate. With it being an MR, you should have plenty of room to inspect, and repair..

    that was why I was lost as to why the first liners were wrong. Because the part number was on the old liners. Glad you got it resolved. any chance you have another E-6 build in the future?

    Too bad they weren't checked when the trans was out. If you have the diamond shaped mount they are huck bolted in the frame and you have to remove the battery box and air tank mounts and i think the inner fender mounts as well. Its been a while for me. Of course, we dont know the year and model of your truck. I assume you have a volvo frame.

    Are wires hooked to it? If so its a pressure switch to control something/ anything... what type of trailer are you pulling?

    The only time i didnt go-to school back then was because the plow truck hadnt come by yet... that said, i never rode my snow machine to get to school, just to play in the snow.....

    So true Brocky. Salisbury closed school early this year because of wind.. Hell... In Maine our bus driver, Ms. Witham would have all of us go to the back seats so she could try to pull the hills with us as weight for better traction. As kids we thought it was cool to do it. Some times she had to back down and try again. We would cheer her on when she pulled the hill.. ( Lawrence rd. in Gray Maine. 04039) I laugh here in Central N.C. when they say, you aint never seen snow like it is here.. anyway...

    A braided line would be better. Much stronger, and lives longer. Clamps are ok with braided line. But like MarkT says, aeroquip and JIC will work.

    Look at the flywheel if you do that. You may need emeory cloth to uncover the timing mark, that i beleive is a 'zero'... i wish my memory was stronger on this one.

    Its Glenn Akers Birthday... He was a strong member here. R.I.P. Sir...
  19. Joey Mack
    Sorry, bud.... im at a loss.. any chance you have number 1 injector out ?
  20. Joey Mack
    Look up through the hole at 6 oclock. There is only 1 mark. I think its Zero. Its been a while
  21. Joey Mack
    Me too....took all my stuff apart as a kid. Even fixed a few. 🍻
  22. Joey Mack
    There is a mark on the flywheel, then you set the cam in place on 1, then the cam gear, using the silly A-B rod thingy. Theres more to it, but i havent done one in about 8 years.. you can re-set it. Dont try to run it til its right..

    Funny how that is.. similar structure, not as good as eaton.. i had a hard time shifting my Meritor, after driving a ton of trucks at the shop with Eaton, and Mack transmissions. I did learn it, but didnt like it. However, i did like the cruise buttons on the shift knob, kinda made slow speed changes a breeze..

    I would destroy that prime rib, with ajus or horseradish.

    ATRO sells one for about $30. Of course that was what i paid 5 years ago
