Turbo exchange... Concord N.C. just look it up on Google.. jojo

My heart hurts too... My father, Grandfathers and all Great uncles, and a few Uncles were Combat vets... I was in the army in the late 80's for a short time, no combat.. But the love and respect for our great country is lost and not taught any more because of the commie's in our goverment's and school's.. It's sad and is really going to get us destroyed as a nation... It only took the last 8 month's to solidify this B.S. Thank You M.C. Jojo

Holy S@!t!!! I wish we were-face to-face............ we would have a hell of a time!!! You got this!!! Jojo

Ok... not my issue, but I do have a better understanding for my future posts.. Just glad it was (in-House) and not a hacker... Jojo

All great questions... dont have time to give my opinion on each one, But hell yeah... Great questions. And the real answers wont come from those that are making a damn good living off the Kung Flu... Jojo

I luv ya tenfiveO.... I hope there is none of that B.S. happening here... Jojo

Ok... I read all of the previous 5-10 posts.... There is a boatload of intelligent comments, facts and figure's.... As far as inflated numbers, here is what My wife witnessed last month............. Her brother died in his sleep (napping)... his wife found him, when she went to wake him up for supper... Moving forward..... A doctor, not a coroner, said he may have had a stroke or heart attack..... So thats what the Dr. stated......... Our local Hospital system sent a Rep. She told my sister-in-law that his death was ruled as a COVID Death, she would recieve A $9000.00 check.... She said Hell no!!! he had a stroke... Anyway,,,, something to chew on...... Jojo

I tried to buy from P.A.I. myself, ,but i'm a small fry, so I could not create an account... Heck,, give it a try.... Do you have the Mack part number's?

when I dont have a pressure tank that fill's the system, I remove the highest pipe plug from the water manifold assembly and leav it loose, (1 turn in)... you will hear it whine as the air leaves... this is my own way of doing it, more ides will be posted... Too bad I'm so busy, i would jump in my service truck and come visit... Jojo

So F'n true,,, the masks don't work!!!!! just the fact you can breathe without a filter canister tells it all... They don't work for anything smaller than dust or fluid splatter, ie: during surgery or in some cases they work when mowing the lawn on a dry windy day to keep clippings out of youre pie hole... What also chap's my ass..... is that we are supposed to stay 6 feet apart due to air borne spread.... So why did'nt our Commie gov't tell all business' to shut of thier H.V.A.C. systems.... just a thought... Jojo

very cool. I just looked at internationals, I have a KB-7 and was looking for other ones, I need to get up there and visit... A blast from the past, for me... I used to work in Yarmouth and Freeport, and didn't even know they existed... Too funny.. Jojo

I lived in Southern Maine for 23 years and never even knew these museums were there... I even graduated from Gray- New Gloucscter high school in 1987, and didn't even know.... What ailes me? May need to take a trip and visit some trucks, and My Dad... Jojo

do you have a front drive P.T.O.? Can you remove the belts and tie them off to the side and try to duplicate the issue? I use a long lengrh of 3/8" hydraulic brake line as a stethiscope to listen to noises... Jojo

"F"... Thank you.. The truth is that I welcome youre input and "Corrections" I do not take offense, I take it as a teaching moment for me.. sometimes I forget or mabey didn't know... With respect to you .. jojo

"F" I'm glad you posted the fuel pressure info, I didn't know the pressure was reduced for the ASET's... I have 4 of them in the fleet I maintain. I will keep that in mind for the future.. Jojo

You're Damn right!!!!!! The Racist -in-Chief is still at it... jojo

Generally, if the cam is straight, and all journals and lobes meet Mack spec, then it is re-usable.. I just recently put the old cam back in an Isuzu 4HE1 because it was well within spec. and the owner is trying to cut cost... Not all will agree, but there are spec's for a reason... I also put a cam in my own S.B. chevy 350, that I took out of my 400, when I built the 400... the 400 cam was in great shape and the 350 cam had visible wear. I did put new Melling lifters in it... My 350, runs great... it's in my 1-Ton.... There should be some more opinions on the way... as far as over speed... My GUESS is anything above 2400 is too much for you're engine... F, And V, and Glenn and others may know better than me on this one.. Jojo

I think around '03, it changed.. look at the so-called Macks and notice 3 air tanks under the left side steps, also look at the Huck bolts in the frame and the location of the holes, Look at the frame rails and also, look at the air servo banks in the frame that control, susp/5th wheel/ power divider/// and so-on... to me that was all Volvo, infiltrating the Mack chassiss... im sure theres more, but i'm a bit slow today...:) jojo

"F" makes a lot of sense with his post... Pay attention to him... jojo

I'm sorry about what you went through... Very cool truck picture.. Jojo

I hope the good lord lets me stick around a while...... I wanna be one of the old timers that helped 'Me' along the way... so I can help others, even Old Timers... 😉 Jojo

TJC,, got any pic's? Jojo

I'm on my second one,,,, I'm learning and liking it too.... Jojo

EGR issue are common in my experience.. When I see soot outside the EGR shaft, it's time.... Be very careful handeling the cross over pipe with the 2 sensors in it... I just bought one last month from Charlotte Mack. it was $1600.00... When you remove the fuel lines number them. Mack say's one time use.... I dress the ends with 180 emery cloth between my fingers, and i usually succeed. sometimes they will leak, but at $150.00 each,, its worth a try... #3 is the hardest one to replace on a complete engine, so, if you think you should... buy one for that hole... they are also installed using a torque conditioning procedure... no biggie... and the new studs need to be doped before installation. The bottom studs are live and can leak oil, and if you go in too far you can hit the pushrod.. use Mack studs for this part of the repair.... as you need advice, ask.... 👍 Jojo

As far as delete's.... I'm not your guy... never done one... You will get the answer here, jojo..
