  1. I just went back to PAI,, I did have an account to look up parts.. The breakdowns are great.. Thats true.. but what I dont have is a shopping cart to put my parts in so I can buy them.. I should have been clearer, I guess... I dont have buying power... jojo
  2. I guess I should try again... Thanks "F"... jojo
  3. 👍.. Gotta go... I have another road call.. jojo
  4. you can order PAI on-line, but not directly from them.. We have a parts store in Charlotte called "Diesel Parts" They stock PAI... I did see where you can try to creat a PAI Direct acct. But my Little Micro A$$ was not eligable.. The E-Tech I just did cost $6700.00 for the engine kit/ cam kit with all 18 lifters/ oil pump/ and cam bushings... I got 2 heads from Mack.. jojo

  6. I wish we were closer to each other... I would love to build your E-7.. and save you around $15,000.00 .. I just did 2 in the last 5 weeks.. an ASET-C and an E-Tech.. parts and labor for both was under $35,000.00... with re-man heads and cam sets,, same customer.. Yes PAI engine kits... one turbo was newer, re-used it... the other got re-built.. both trucks are haulin dirt.. anyway, to turn this around wont cost $40,000.00 like Mack would tell you, if they even have a guy that knows how to build it.. good luck with the KW.. keep in touch, jojo
  7. yeah, there wont be a ,, so-called,,, download... this one is about being a Mechanic.. plain and simple,,, Like I was taught many years ago,,,, "The Metal Don't Lie"... I bet this will be a re-build of a good engine block, provided the crank is in good shape.. I always drop the 13 cap's, one at a time to inspect the crank before I go deep... A bad crank, makes a huge difference, on how to go forward.. Jojo
  8. Help me on this "F" can you download the last event from V-Mac II ?? I have never done it before,, V-Mac III, yes.. anyway.. I would just like to know, but all-in-all.. Physical inspection, is the way to go.. He is lucky, really... I still wish I had bought a Pro-link 9000 with V-Mac cartridges.. I would buy one today if I could find one.. jojo
  9. God Bless you... I live in a small old house. The only objects that I need to protect is my guns and ammo, and a few guitars, and a tote with photo albums.. I really need to do what I said, and get a couple more small steel safes, and put all of these in my outside building that is built with concrete blocks... jojo
  10. This placeis a nice place on High Rock Lake.. The restaraunt is pretty good,, country cookin' and pretty waitress's.. (Don't tell my wife) anyway,, just 50 miles on the Tri-Glide, with my lovely lady on the back,.. That's actually her's.. I bought it for her birthday 4 years ago... I ride it more than she does.. jojo
  11. Oh My.. I am so sorry for both of you... I have a fear of loosing everything to a fire.. jojo
  12. So I pulled a broken rearend out of a CXN yesterday, the Banjo housing is destroyed. I called Mack to find one.. Plenty of them in stock, but they are $5200.00... REALLY!!???. So today my wife and I took a little ride to salvage yards... No luck, but we did stop for lunch.. I like shopping for truck parts.. jojo
  13. good point about cracking fuel lines to shut it down.. jojo
  14. to tell you the truth, I really like the Ruger LCR .22 Mag. I bought for my wife. It is smooth, no hammer to fetch up on clothing, no safety, other than the little key that came with it.. It is small enough to put in my pocket, easy to conceal.. and, well,,, it's a .22 Magnum... oh yeah, and it's easy on the wallet to buy and practice with.. I carry a Taurus 5 shot revolver in .38 +P.. I should have gotten the Ruger LCR version.. jojo
  15. re-building the inj. pump would be a good start. . yes check the top end for bent pushrods and hopefully no broken rocker arms.. when you drain the oil, I suggest having a kitchen strainer with you to drain the oil through.. just in case there are chunks in the pan.. if water is the first thing that comes out when you pull the drain plug, well, a rebuild will be in order.. also, are you sure it was a fuel issue, and not oil passing through the turbo? pull the CAC boots off and the turbo inlet boot, to look for oil.. There is a handful of checks you can do, before diving into a re-build.. Keep in touch.. Many smart guys here to help guide you as needed.. as far as pulling the injection pump... bring the engine up on the degree mark that is on the pump tag, (hopefully its still there). if not we can get the setting.. pull the air compressor, then pull the pump, and dont turn the engine around, unless you are confident on how to bring it back to the timing mark for the pump,,, its really not hard to do, just pay attention to detail.. Good luck, Jojo
  16. Mark, I would definately look at the S&W gov. 6 rounds instead of 5, heavier cylinder, and fires .45 ACP as well.. I guess that makes it able to fire 4 different types of ammo. 5 if it can handle .44 Mag. Dont make me add another one to my collection,, Dammit!!!! jojo
  17. I wonder if there is an App.. that will program a 3-D printer, that will make a carbureator.? Seriously, it is true and sad.. I have to show my O'Rielly parts guys how to look up my parts, for my '77 C-30/ '90 G-20/ and of course my '48 KB-7... Oh well, Jojo
  18. TJC, as far as a .22 Mag.. I bought my wife the Ruger LCR in .22 Mag.. It is a ready to go revolver.. And Buddy,, she knows how to shoot it.. It was a birthday gift back in 2014.. She carries it every day... yes, I keep myself in-line.. jojo
  19. Thank's MarkT.. I really gave it a bit of thought.. I do have good shooting skill's., however,, under the pressure and adrenaline rush of having to protect myself, and my wife.. and the Fact that The criminal already has the upper hand, because they know what they are going to do... I'm in the bed,,,, not knowing what is happening outside.. I chose a hand held shot gun to be as quick to respond as I could.. as far as outdoor's,, I have been able to make a few D-Bag's back off, without putting a round into them,,, I do not live in a bad neighborhood, there is just 2 houses that need to go.. there only 8 houses on our loop.. anyway,,, Jojo
  20. yep... same pic's here, different D-Bag's...
  21. so now our local news is asking why some people didnt get the Kung Flu?? so when the Chink's learn why, they will change the virus, so it will get those people too, ... so by 2025... they will know how to kill all of us.. way to go American scientist's that broadcast thier learning's.. yippy!!
  22. Sometimes, I wish that I bought a loaded laptop with V-Mac/DEDEC... but at $10,000.00 I was not able to do it, and that's when I bought my service truck for $8000.00.. too bad...
  23. I forgot that I bought these home deffense loads a few yaers ago. They are now in the Judges cylinder.. I choose 'shot' cartridges, because,, God forbid I miss,, I dont want my round to pass through the wall of my house and go into my nieghbors house. their house is only 40 feet away.. There is 5 children and 3 adults there... Its a good chance one of them would be hit from a stray round.. Just sayin.. My house will contain all of the projectiles from the shot cartridge, minus hitting my own window from inside.. jojo
  24. If your luck is anything like mine,, where ever you pry with the seal puller, the part number on the back side of the seal will be damaged by the puller.. even when I pry in only 1 spot,, 🤔
  25. Good point TJC.. I guess I will put some L.C.'s in it.. I like it, because it wont jam.. My 1911 isnt trustworthy..
