Hell put a X-107 twin stick in it.... it will be great, and you can shift gears in reverse... jojo

I forgot to post that I just recently replaced a dog dish flywheel on an E-6 4 valve in an '87 Superliner, with an E-7 style flywheel, and put an eaton easy pedal 15" ,7padle, 9 spring, clutch in it.. .. I'm sorry that I forgot this til now.... Jojo

Pinion depth is done with a dial indicator for back lash, and a vernier caliper to check shim thickness. and you need a 20 ton press to pre-load the bearing, and a small 'fish scale' and a piece of string to check bearing pre load.. and some Prussian blue on the gear teeth to observe tooth pattern in the 'root'. we also need to know what rearend you have.. I assume a dual reduction Mack, probably a 92/93 series?? More info please.. jojo

Vlad.... I wish I knew half what you know... You are amazing!!! This web site is lucky to have you sir... Jojo

this could be a bunch of issues.. is this engine an ASET-C, or a late CCRS. repair history?? auto trans, manual trans?? See where I'm going??

Just a quick note here.. when the Mack tranny number ends in a '0'.. thats an overdrive tranny. ie: 2050,2070, 2180,,, ... jojo

It is so nice to see how important Jan. 6th. is... So much time spent on hear-say by President trump. So much Hear-say at the hearings where no-one was under 'Oath' A lady say's she was sliding on a bloody floor trying to keep herself safe, B.S. where was the blood? anyone see pics? Oh yeah, let's go to Saudi Arabia to help them. Ooop's, I almost forgot all the riots after G. Floyd was killed.. Oh wait, not a real concern. Just a few protestors destroying thousands of (American) lives.. and a few block's of some Major cities, but , 'No Biggie' So what's next?? this cant be the end of the Biden Sh!t Show?? jojo

the triangle panel on top of the dash, and there is one behind the clutch pedal... jojo

That is great... Thank you for posting the repair.. Jojo

lately, it seem's to me that these shop's and dealerships, are trying to be "Engine" mechanics first, without knowing how to drive, and 'feel' how a truck is supposed to drive. I am so glad I drove tractor trailers for 3 years before I became a mechanic. To me the real issue is "Training" at the shops... The high up guys know how to steal money legally, and the 'Techs' dont know any better.. It hurts my heart when I learn of these stories... however, I am so glad that BMT is here to help those that seek help.. It always amazes me that there are so many guy's here that are willing to help, and looking for nothing more, than to see the repair posted, so it's help's the next guy... BMT... Hell Yeah !!!! Jojo

'V' I asked the same Q earlier, I was thinking driveline issues, u-joints, angle, bearing play, loose yokes, anyway you get it.. I wish one of us was there to help save him 90% of his $13,000.00..... Jojo

I guess I should ask where the shaking is..... In the steering wheel, or in you butt? steering wheel is usually front end issues, in your butt tends to be, behind you in the chassis and suspension and drive line... jojo

have you not checked your tires to see if you have a broken belt in one? what about u-joints? seems to me, someone loaded a parts cannon and pulled the cord.. I hope you find this soon... 13K is too much to spend for a vibration.. Jojo

Mucho Bueno Sinor'e.... jojo

I have already replied to 2 new inquirie's today. I told them my new rate and $1/mile surcharge...... Cricket's.... That's ok... I'm curently building 2 Mack engines, I have a KW W-900L at my shop, and I have an E-7 to do after I finish the ASET-C that I started on Thursday.. It's a perfect time to test the new pricing... I'm not desperate for income this week... jojo

My wife will be 62 Oct. 30... we have talked.... I told here to just take it, I'm 8 1/2 years younger, I will bring in the dough.. Of course I work on trucks with internal combustion engines... so maybe I'm wrong... I need to learn how to create business that can recycle lithium batteries, and provide hand lotion for all the soft menish persons who havent decided about what gender they are. I'm looking for investor's...

I have replaced quite a few steel pipe on MP's due to carbon build up.. jojo

the cover is on top of the rear section..

when you are here at BMT, you are in GREAT hands.. welcome aboard.. Jojo

well at leaste you have the reach.. im 5-9/ 240... you can get this done.. i hope you dont have dual ass stupid exhaust.. it WILL be in the way...

in chassis... remove the drive shaft and squeeze your ass in there.. open the hood, jack the cab up with a small jack,till the cab shocks stop the jack. that will give you a few more inches to get in there.. of course if you are 'girthy'.... well.... I'm girthy... heck I dont even know what chassis you have... I assume a Granite... jojo

I just went to my book as well... only thing is I cant post pics anymore.. I am glad you posted this pic for him... jojo

yes to a bad o-ring. on the top of the back box, there is a shift cover, remove it and re-build the cylinders. when its on the bench you can put shop air to it to see how it leaking, (if you want to see it) then re-ring it.. I suggest replacing the shift fork set bolt... jojo

well my service truck gets good mileage, 11/gallon.. .50 cent /mile.. I rekon A $1.00/mile surcharge is in order... i just put 6 new tires on it, plus wear and tear,, I think that's fair... I would like some opinion's on my mileage charge.. my current engine job is a 50 mile round trip, $25.00 worth of fuel each day... Oh well, I hate this for ALL of us... jojo
