    Yes sir.. I understood your points. Food for my thoughts. Well, I wish him success. I think i will , back out now and just watch...

    Honestly GW.. i have very little knowledge on upping horsepower in an E-6 or E-7. I do believe ( much to my shagrin) ... Electronics plays a big part in making the HP and protecting the engine as well. The 460 XT i mentioned is an E-Tech.. the next engine after the E-7. It is still 728 c.i.d./12 liters. The more I read this thread, the more I am leaning towards a 500 HP runner.. I guess i get sidetracked when I see guys wanting to put more power in an engine that is already very reliable, so my kneejerk reaction is to say NO!.

    That's about 3 bucks a can. Thats a good deal around my area
  8. Joey Mack
    Yes E-7 is 12 liters. I dont know how i thought it was an E-6. The title clearly says E-7

    I guess if you drive it with respect it may live. Even though i was sceptical, Mack did make the 460 XT which was rated at 485 HP. And somewhere around 2000 lbft of torque. The drive line needed to be beefed up for that. But if you are the only driver, it may live.

    Its 11 liters.. it wont live...
  11. Joey Mack

  14. Joey Mack
    Brocky, I just visited the web site. I should have just done that first. I got my answer.

    Brocky. Is the ATHS easy to join? I have my 48 Int. Its not on the road yet. I guess i can look at the web site, just curious about the requirements. Thanks

    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 ?
  19. Joey Mack
    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..?
  20. Joey Mack
    Yep square mounting plate. With it being an MR, you should have plenty of room to inspect, and repair..
  21. Joey Mack
    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?
  22. Joey Mack
    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.
  23. Joey Mack
    Are wires hooked to it? If so its a pressure switch to control something/ anything... what type of trailer are you pulling?
  24. Joey Mack
    Too funny Hippy... and I thought i was a smart a$$ with the same thoughts.. 🍻
  25. Joey Mack
