are you trying to replace the plunger in the piston cooling tube control, under the right side of the engine? jojo

yes, pull the seal housing and replace the o-ring behind the cover, and this will make seal replacement easier, and you can see it better. the pic of the spur shaft cover may be caused by the heavy rust. being from Maine I am familiar with the effects of road salt in the winter. plus, I'm sure that truck hauled salt a few times, check that cover for holes. The rubber thing I mentioned is the ring you see on the yoke.. I was taught to throw that away. I was hoping for other opinions on that one. The main bolt is supposed to be replaced. Mack # 3AX 1803... make sure it has a good dose of lock tite on it. it torques to 500 lbft.. And replace the u-joint straps as well. This is not a technical job, just may have a bit of labor, to get the yoke off. You got this, Jojo

Good deal, Glad you are here,,, pic's of cool sh!t is always a plus..... jojo

No doubt... It is a ridiculous sh!t show.. I'm not impressed.. Good point, however, ......... The guy that you support has F'd us,, and it hit's really hard.. At least for those of us that don't have gob's of money to just say 'F' it,,, I'll pay the high fuel prices for my Limo. AND 'I need to look good when I'm with my America hating friends'... ..................How about opening 'Keystone' ?? We are on a truck website buy the way... Fossil fuel is what WE here use to make a living... Anyway , I hope this gets better for those of us that rely on ourseleves and the support of a 'Real' president... Hope to have another one soon... jojo

I would rather have that one, over the other option for that year, and there after.. Best of luck to you.. Jojo

And the award for The Most Awesomest, poster, goes too... Oh my gosh!!!!! we have A 20 way tie... Luv it... jojo

I dont know what went wrong with the picture... $4.09 for gas $4.99 for diesel... sorry.. jojo

this morning, 10 a.m. e.s.t. jojo

and don't forget DCW... He's pretty slick too... jojo

Napa is fine, just pay attention to Amperage 👍

You ok?.... tenfive0....?? I thought I heard a 'Thud'.... jojo

just need to clear this up.... I remove the rubber ring from the yoke... i do not cut the dirt seal lip off the pinion seal... the rubber ring, in my world has has dirt inside therefore cutting the dirt seal lip on the pinion seal.. jojo

Man, I wish I was born into this 20 year's earlier.... I pull my hair out a lot.. I currently have a Mack E-tech in my shop for one of our "Brothers" here at BMT.. I'm greatful for it, because I know I can Give him a good running E-tech.. I am not 'cocky' by any mean's,,, but more guy's like me need to come out and get these machines up and running, for those that need them. There is so much knowledge here, that it gives me a bunch of relief. I take these Mack's to heart... I know I am off topic, I'm just talking to you and who ever else understands.... jojo

Mechohaulic.... im a young'n.... '53 next month..... so many times I wish I had a 100 foot chicken barn, I would buy all these old rejected tools and try to build parts.... brake shoes, alternators, starters, steering boxes, ect... I really wish I new how to build injection pump's.... to me that would be great... Dammit!!! jojo

BTW,,, if you do unscrew one of the post's and it crumbles.... you found a problem..... Good luck Sir. jojo

This crap remind's me of when I bought my first and only big truck back in late 2005... Oh My God... How the hell is the little guy gonna survive?? I know big guy's have high cost's. But what keeps the seed's of new business,'s in wet soil and sunlight,,,, so they can grow???? jojo

Central N.C. Gas $4.09..... Diesel $4.79..... today... 30+ cent jump in 1-2 day's.... Let's go Brandon !!!!! We had a pipeline.... What the Truck!!! jojo

heck, I have 2 sets of Mack tranny manuals, plus a bunch more. I'm only wanting $550.00 / set U.S. shipping is free... but no takers.. so I guess they will sit in my library.. They are worth much more, but I feel like i'm realistic.. I know what I pay for book's and I use them as well.. anyway... I hope you score, Bob.... Jojo

yeah that seems like a stretch... hell, is there a law dog that would even know what they are looking at? as long as they are the same style and 'Length' positioned in the same holes, I dont see a problem........ and I too, tried to buy auto slacks for a steer axle last week. i gave them the part number on the slack adjuster, (Mack dealer)... they said, I cant help you, I need a VIN and need to see them.. I explained the truck was an '86 Superliner. "Well I need a VIN"... what a pain in the A$$... jojo

yes.. to test/prove it un hook 1 side of it and try to start the truck... jojo

if the yoke is installed, just take a box cutter to it.... gone.. new yoke, slide it off and give to youre purse puppy as a chew toy.. just sayin' ... if i'm wrong... well the forum will say so.... jojo

and another thing... get rid of the rubber "Dirt holder inner" ...I toss those out.... Can someone please tell me that I'm wrong, and why??? I like the yoke to be able to sling the dirt off rather than keep it jammed in there to cut the outer seal lip and get inside and cut a groove on the yoke.... jojo

Too funny,,, just having a good time with my friends around the world.. jojo

Heck I just spent $75 on one Midliner book similar in size to the ones in the big binders.. If you can get the whole mess for under $500.00, I would say you are doing good.. jojo

no biggie... right?? so the rear drive does most of the pushing, therefore the temp is higher.. and with a clogged vent, the pressure has to go some where, just a thought.... Jojo
