  1. Awesome..... jojo
  2. God Bless You!!! I did 5 years on the road, and said,,, Oh hell no!! jojo
  3. yeah I used one of those, for big truck tires... it's cool, but back in my prime.. I could do a tire in just a few minutes... man, i miss the 'MAN' I was... :).. jojo
  4. I have an M-5000 moffet mounty forklift... I use it to break beads on tires for my trucks. I put the wheel on a sheet of steel, and make it happen.. then i use my tire spoons to break it apart, and put a tire back on.. but this is done in my yard... not on the road jojo
  5. If I had a 'Golden tool' I would end up using it.. I already have 3 spoons, and can get it done, but, my back wont let me.. any way, it's all good.. jojo
  6. I love it!!.. When I am in my shop, I come in for lunch, and/or to poop.. I always check us out and post when I can... All good brother.. I love it... 'keep on keep'in ' on... jojo
  7. He can just "Taste it!"... Really???? jojo
  8. You crack me up, Bob!!! yeah i know a 'bit' but I am no Genius... i dont know.. luv ya, jojo
  9. with the last 6 of the VIN. you can get the seal # at Mack.. Call a dealer from a different state,, easy breezy.. jojo
  10. remove the dust shields and toss 'em..
  11. Thanks Bob for posting all the pics... I tried to explain this whole process, but I cant post pics.. the pressure valve he posted is JUNK. the other checks we posted are the shit.. Thanks again,, jojo
  12. Been there done that Onyx.... I can do tires. but I cant afford tire inventory and dealing with the price changes, they are just like fuel prices,,, a roller coaster.. jojo
  13. what year is the E-9? Is the injection pump an in-line (Robert Bosch).. or a V-8, (Ambach)?
  14. Yeah, too many safety rules... Glad you got it done,, No i dont do tires anymore.. hell with my bad lower back, I couldnt handle it.. jojo
  15. the side measurement is to check the housing for wear... simply put... if its worn, just get a reman pump.. jojo
  16. So here is one guy I was hoping would post... He doesnt have to open a book, he just know's.. (Glenn).... jojo
  17. no timing.. I have a 2 valve in my shop that i pick at from time to time. in the oil pump.... with the cover off, put a straight edge over the gears and housing.. A .007" feeler gauge should be hard to insert under the straight edge... if its loose,,, get new gears.. the clearence of the pump gears to the inside of the side walls of the housing is .006" these are the 'high limits' the low limits are .001 and .002" respectively... I hope i'm helping... jojo
  18. did you inspect the oil pressure relief valve in the oil filter stand, where it mounts to the block? the valve can not have any hard scratches on it and the bore needs to be Round. The oil pump relief spring test is 40 lbs. +/- 4 lbs. at 3 5/64".. this is for all but the bypass filter type. that one is.. 25lbs. +/- 2 3/4".. jojo
  19. got it.. to be honest, I I have only been in a handfull of E-6's.. so I can't think of something else to check, outside of something not installed correctly, however, I do not like to question a Mechanics ability without more info.. There are a bunch of guys here that know way more than I will probably ever know. The best I could do is go get my book and read it to see if there is another check that can be done.. With respect, jojo
  20. Did you replace or inspect the oil pump? There is also a pressure valve in the oil filter housing, is it good? jojo
  21. I like an E-7 Mechanical any day of the week.. Reliable engines. The ones with the electric governor housings are very good. The plug and wires for it are good, but if the duetch connector has come out of the yoke that holds it in place, and ran loose for a long time, the wires can be weakened to the point they lose contact. Its fixable.. As far as MPG.. hard to say, maybe around 7.. I still see parts for them, and our pump shops, can repair the injection pump if needed. Good luck, jojo
  22. Glenn,,, you have a ton of knowledge.. I just posted what the book said.. Myself , I dont recall having runout issues with all the E-7's I have been around. The loose bolts I have had ,caused damage to the bell housing on Mack trannys that was not fixable without a case replacement.. 200 + 300 series trannys.. for what it's worth,, youre never guessing to me.. jojo
  23. yes Glenn. and My Mack E-7 book shows .020" runout.. I guess that would be .010" per side. jojo
  24. TJC, I understand... I get mad quickly at times, and then my wife wishes she had a different husband, (which would be fine).. I watch these news programs because I want to see what the 'f' is going on.. I feel I can keep myself leveled out,.. jojo
  25. So I'm watching "Tipping point" on OAN news.. Now our King is giving away drones, that are flying bombs.. I have no idea how many munitions we have or planes, tanks, ships, guns, bullets, shells, cannons ,,, or what ever... All I know is that , if i gave my guns and ammo away, and word got out, my home would be attacked by someone looking to take it over... any thought's?? jojo
