Spencer N.C. Fire truck show.
Joey Mack replied to Joey Mack's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I also had the priviledge of meeting GADave... He was cool and very, much dedicated to his craft... If he ever writes a book, I will read it...Jojo -
I have had a helper to press the clutch fast and hard for me, while I had a piece of flat stock, or a large screwdriver put in place opposite the button, so that the throwout bearing doesnt just move at an angle relieving the pressure to push the button in..... I still dont like these clutch brakes. I prefer the 2 piece aluminum type with the 2 skinny allen headed screws. and the hole is way to small, as you say... jojo

They packed us in pretty tight. Here's a few more pics. shortly after taking these pics, there were dozens of kids climbing all over these trucks, you wouldnt have been able to see the trucks... Joey mack

My friend had 6 trucks at the show I will post more pics... -
Hell.... You'd be better off riding an old Mack, than any modern diesel pick/up... to hell with the mileage differnce, the Mack wont "Lay-Down" like the computer trucks.. heck, you may get 7-8 MPG, but who cares??? I have a '48 International K-B 7, (gasser),,and I'm just going to go get groceries and 2x4's with it and it's all good.... I hope i'm nut's too...😉.. Jojo

I had the honor of driving this very rare 52 Mack to our local show....

I had the great pleasure of driving a 1952 B-Model that is very rare ,to our local transportation museum. The truck I drove is one of 5 made by Mack and only 2 exist.... 23 years working on Mack's and Proud to do so... I had the Honor to do this today. I was also able to share this with my beautiful wife as well.... What a great day...

Are these 2 issues related?
Joey Mack replied to Dmurph2016's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
what was done at the shop? why did you bring this to the shop....? -
thanks Glenn....
-
they are crude, but totaly worked. I cut my own gaskets to do the test and these caps did not blow bubbles during the test...

Bundle type oil cooler o-rings are still availlable... may i suggest pulling the oil filter pad and resealing it as well. you are already there. ... also you can make 2 simple little blocking plates to pressure test the oil cooler.. I did this a few years ago. I used 1/4" aluminum flat stock... I made 2 caps. In one of them I tapped 1/4 npt threads and installed an air compressor nipple.... The test is done at 80 P.S.I. in a tub of water. I did this on an E-6 2 valve that I am building. In my case, My oil cooler was good... Jojo

Engine ID and spec
Joey Mack replied to Licensed to kill's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Thanks again Glenn... I also know the E-7 is 728 C.I.D., but these are the engines I have the most experience in... Not a genius.... Just know how to fix 'em.... Jojo.. These threads are a good tool for me, because of all of you guys that own them and have run them for years.... This is not my thread, but, I absorb the teachings... Thank's.. Joey -
Engine ID and spec
Joey Mack replied to Licensed to kill's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I have recently been trying to figure some of this out as well. I have a 1960'ish ENDT 673 (E-6) in my shop now and had 2 other END (non-turbo) 673's over the last 2 years. I knew them to be called E-6's.. "E-6 2 valve" They were all 672 C.I.D.'s... I didn't think the engine number was the same as the displacement, because I didn't believe that with each series, they would build a new engine that was one cubic inch bigger, ( the 673), or 4 more cubic inches, (the 676)... I hope to learn more about this on this thread. Jojo -
180....
-
was there even a threaded hole for the sensor? wasn't a non v-mac tach driven by the injection pump?? i'm forgetting more and more as time goes on,🙃... I need more E-7's in my life. Joey.....

Another Question,,, are they Wedge brakes? Maybe post a picture of the brake chamber. no biggie, just curious.. jojo
-
look at part no. 4515Q,,, Rears... Try 3402 for the front... the dealership will use the last six of the v.i.n. to tell you..

Good Call... I do have a hard time watching the other, because I Have My opinions and a Bias... I will stick with my beliefs, and use as much of a realistic thought process as I can... There is more to the story about our open southern border. This new president has got me baffled, because there were some good policies for our country, and job's/careers, low cost of living, etc. and now we are giving it to aliens, that Probably didn't have it that bad... Yes there are atrocities in those countries,,, we have them here in the U.S. but WE don't matter to The Biden Govt.. Jojo

Good question... I just hope the footage is real... I do try to look at it inteligently, but even my go-to channel is Dramatic, What would you suggest?
-
yep... Hocus Pocus..... Here it is! Smile!!!
-
Ok... another question.... I watch the news every night.. I see all the people crossing rivers and such to get here for free.... Reporters ask ?? How long have you been traveling(Struggling).. they sat 3-5+ days.... Ok..? Long journey, I get it... Just tell me how they have kept their Cell phones charged up. Every time I see footage, several are on their phones.... Just a thought? Joey

there are a few things that can cause this, excesive low speed idling, valve seals, engine wear, and a loose turbine.. Start simple... pull the intake boot off the turbo and inspect the turbine for chips and spin it by hand to see if it's smooth and does not wobble... there may be a minute amount of side to side movement, i'm talking barely a little bit. that would be ok... i see the fuel lines, that tells me its an E-7 Mechanical..... there will a few others stopping by to help you with this. Good luck, Jojo

I know...... You are correct... I just correctly diagnosed a noise in an 04 aset, last week.. I told the owner (who is also a good mechanic) that the noise was likely a bad lifter. told him to drop the pan and look up....... #1 exh. lobe is junk..... I pulled the cam yesterday. No laptop needed for this one... anyway, I hate it for the owner's of these truck's, who have so much downtime lately, due to poor diagnostics, parts cannoning, and lack of MECHANICAL knowledge... Ok, I'm done now.... I look forward to learn what fixes this issue... Jojo
