My wife found this video. its a few minutes long, and well worth listening to it.. Talk about "Foresight".. 1439d29b24cccce541d2183cb9e96b5b.mp4
-
Oh,,,, Ok... Glad you caught this one.. jojo

B-73 Restoration
Joey Mack replied to mattb73lt's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
That sounds great.. Is that a 64 Scout in the background? -
yes sir,, with that said,,, I feel like they used the simplest/most reliable engine and torque/HP, wasnt the issue, as much as the fact that It will run every time you started it, and with an auto tranny, it was surely going to get to the FIRE.. Kinda' like how reliable the VW Beatle was.. Numb as a 'pounded thumb' but would get there.. anyway, my silly take on it..... jojo

I get it Mech.. I was trained by an old A$$hole.. He was the smartest man I knew back then and he could give all the new guys a run for the money.. Earl was the MAN... So I built a '90 E-7 4 valve, 2 1/2 years ago. I also freshened up 2, E-6,, 4 valves in, 2, RW's.. however,, I did not know that a '90 Mack would be spec'd with a 2 Valve.. When I learn something new about these awesome machine's, I store it in my brain, then read about it when I can, usually from my own library... It's Men like you and a bunch of other's here, that amaze me with your knowledge.. Jojo
-
and a 2 valve at that.. the 4 valve was out 2 -3 years before.. or so i thought.. the last 2 '87 RW's I worked on were 4 valves.. Like I said,, I am bout to learn more stuff,,,, 👍jojo

1997 cs300p midliner constantly purging
Joey Mack replied to EvanJ's topic in Air Systems and Brakes
Since it seems to act right, for the most part... How about spraying a light 20W oil into the intake of the compressor to see if it loosens the unloaders? jojo -
I certainly was WAY off.. I do not have the answer for the E-6... sorry... but this picture is from my 1994 book, non-V-Mac specs. It seems to me that it is probably close to that of the E-6 that you have. I dont know if I helped, but,,,, anyway... post the answer when you get it, just curious... jojo
-
Well, I just went through my book.. I do not have the answer.. I'm sorry... jojo
-
I think it's around 1450 lbft.. I am going to look at my books.. So you say its a 350, tip turbine??? I'm 'bout to learn something here,

Welcome aboard Sir..
-
That;s it... I was lost for a bit there,,, You Go... 'F'
-
I get it... How about enjoying this holiday week with friends and family, and then when thats all done, you will wake up with a clearer direction, and maybe make a plan.. My wishful thinking,,, jojo
-
the green one is not camelback, its a spring ride but I dont know the manufacturer,, 2 different setups as far as swapping parts.. I also have almost zero knowledge on Mack front loader rears.. I do have book's, in the case I have to study-up... jojo
-
can you raise the bodies and post pics of the brake chambers? wedge brakes had lateral chambers and s-cam brakes have longitudinaly mounted chambers.. Of course,, I am always eager to learn something even if I need to be corrected.. jojo
-
that picture shows Mack rears. they are top loaders.. whats in the other truck? I would like to see a picture of a single axle camel back.. never heard of one.. the truck pic you posted is camelback.. I guess that the new truck?
-
I had the same issue ,,
-
I do beleive the bolt pattern for wedge brake spider and the s-cam spider is the same.. I assume the same style Mack rear's on both truck's?

Water pump thoughts.

I just went off.... I am a sarcastic bastard when it comes to our Gov. controlled trucks.. So I choose to poke fun at them...
-
There is a differential pressure sensor in the cab that measures the output of the heater fan related to how far the windows may be open, divided by barometric pressure, plus the exterior wind speed that calculates the pressure difference when a steering wheel holder "Off Gas's" his Sushi lunch and herbal tea... Then the cab NoX sensor will calculate how much greenhouse gas is in the off gasing, and determine how much more the door windows need to be adjusted, so as to not affect the Metasphere... Its easy to understand if you take a minute.. Just sayin'..... Jojo
-
I want to speak on this, but I really dont know if I know what to say... I guess, I look at it like cars... They plug in and open the hood to inspect the newer cars to SEE that the Gov. parts are still installed and functioning. I see that in the future of truck's.. and really wonder why it isnt already happening. I dont want it, just saying.. jojo

I still don't know why a Mack 460 or 460 XT wouldnt be enough power and reliability.. Like I said before, Mack 18 spd. and 200 series rears with 4.17: 1 gears,, Hell even 4.42:1..... I have a lot to learn... jojo
