    Yep.. Your 'Noodle' is still working, Mech.. I meant the upper noodle..

    I wonder if there is a notch cut into the pin? like for a locking pin, like ive seen in light axels. more pics of the pin by itself would be good..
  5. Joey Mack
    You make a good point, and why does the pin look straight and not tapered?

    As far as reaming newer style bushings. I never had too. Only had to de- burr the leading edge after installing it. And as far as splits, what I've seen is an interlocked seamlike puzzle pieces. Those were the ones with the yellow nylon coating inside. I don't know why there aren't new seals. If you can get the old ones out, you can take them to ''allied bearing'' to get them matched up.

    Is it an air controlled fan? If so, check the little brass valve on the firewall near the treadle valve. It delivers the air to the fan celenoid that is mounted on the radiator..

    You know what we havent talked about???????????? Removing the old bushings..... clean the grease out really good. then take a pocket screwdriver or a pick and poke around the edge of the bushing to find the seam.. (if it is not an older brass bushing), and that is where you can curl the old bushing out with a screwdriver or small sharp chisel.. if you have the brass bushing, you can try to knock it out with a small chisel, when you get it apart you will know better, of course, the bushings may be worn so thin that you can pry them out with a screwdriver.. dont sweat it..

    lay both harness' next to each other and trace each wire to see what is different.. chances are that there are wires in auto tranny plugs that are not in the manual plugs. If you have a good set of terminal release tools you can unlock the pins and re-create the plugs to match the original.. are you familiar with how to read the wire codes on those white wires? to me, its actually a very smart set-up that Mack did.. also, I suggest getting a V-Mac III boo. I saw one on E-Bay last week for $55.00

    No reaming. And no de- burring if you install them smoothly. The holes line up with the grease zerks. I have a homemade press made out of a cutoff brake chamber rod, and 2 large flat washers and 2 nuts to install the bushings flush , and then flip a big socket over and use it to recess the bushings for the grease seals.. I'm sure there is a dozen ways to do it.. you will laugh when your done, because you will see how easy it is to do. jojo

    My guess is you can turn the key in the lock but it feels dead.. if you pound the door just above the handle, with the side of your fist, and at the same time turn the key back and forth, it may trip the trigger.. I have done that many times, then you can open the door panel and fix it. Option 2.....You may be able to roll the down and poke a long screw driver or what ever down by the latch tobpop it open. Its a common issue that I have found with that style door latch..

    Did you check the fuel level in the filters?
  13. Joey Mack
    Oh come On Mech?? yeah , your right..
  14. Joey Mack
    maybe he has a tater sack he can cut up to do what you suggest, Mech.. Go Burlap!!

    look at the front engine mount and the cross member to get it done.. dont sweat it..
  16. Joey Mack
    I think the injection pump timing will have to be changed, around 5 degrees I think, since you will eliminate the the econovance.. I did one a few years ago. I also took the timing pointer on the front of the engine off the bad engine and moved it to the good engine. I did have to drill and tap the threads in the timing cover so I could mount the pointers. there are 2 round reliefs cast into the timing cover where the pointer goes.. fuel lines will be different. I wish I was smarter about injection pumps.. But there are a few on here that are very smart about them.. Jojo

    That was 7 years ago.. hopefully he still has it in good shape.
  18. Joey Mack
    That post is 6vyears old, I suggest you start a new thread, include year, model, and engine series, and tranny..

    It's a chore.. I know.. Glad you are working on it.. its a cool truck.. Have a great 'Q'.. eat some yumm yumm for me.. Jojo
  20. Joey Mack
    I would bet that it will run good, and smoke a little, but clear up. I assume you are looking to buy the truck.
  21. Joey Mack
    Good deal!! thanks for posting the fix.. easy repair, and you didnt need to fire the parts cannon at it..
  22. Joey Mack
    I have limited knowledge on them but in recent years worked on 3 of them. It takes a bit of effort to find the parts and then to find someone that can fix it or machine the parts that need machining.. at least where I'm at. Not saying it cant be done, just giving you a heads up on what to look for... There are quite a few guys here that have better knowledge than I do. hopefully they can shed a good light on this one.. Jojo

    it looks like #6 is using oil.. when will you try to start it up? Keep in touch..
  24. Joey Mack
    dont sweat it... is the coolant diluted with water and not a 50/50 mix? the centrifugal filter is not the issue.. is the radiator filled with dirt in the cores and needs to be pressure washed and cleaned out? lets keep it simple..
  25. Joey Mack
    185.. is it hot outside? 200 isnt that bad. if the thermostat and fan is managing it.
