yes sir.. I have looked up service manuals recently, and for my Isuzu NPR. the 600 page book was 0ver $500.00. other books were over $1000.00 in 2 books,, anyway, I buy instant downloads, I got my Isuzu book for $40.00 put it on 2 cd's, and in my shop laptop.. I have a bunch of them, cummins, detroit, mack E-9 etc.. the Cat 3406 E book's (3 of them) are $100.00 ea. for the download... Cat always has to wave their d!ck.... anyway, cheap easy way to get the info... jojo

ok,, done laughing,, too funny... if the steering shaft was pulled out of the slip yoke, it may have been put back 90 degrees off.. is the shaft a 4 spline shaft? if so, it may be 1/4 turn off... if it goes 'easy-hard-easy-hard' good chance im right... been there done that, probably will again... jojo

I made some sticks with wooden dowels, and bought earth magnets and scuffed them the epoxied them to cut lenghts of dowels, then for extrac security, i put elec tape over them then around the tape to hold the overlapped tape. the magnets stayed glued, the tape is insurance that can be replaced with ease... $50.00 for all of it. $700.00 for lifter sticks on-line. of course these are not for E-6's, as you can easily hold the lifters through the right side. I miss the side covers... jojo

yeah, the company i have used, air arcs the bosses where the bar goes through after slicing the bar in 3 pieces, then he welds 2 clamp plates to the bottom of the boss,'s. it has holes drilled through for bolts, 7/8" i think.. the clamps when done, are at the bottom, but the trucks I had done did not drag them through anything, and they held up good.. I only saw them after 3 years before I moved on. so I dont know about now, 3 years later.. jojo

yes they do .. and even more on the heavier axles.. We used a hydraulic torque wrench. use a fork lift to hold the spring pack up-side down, and go for it.... I have used a torque multiplier a bunch of times..... Talk about ' row-row-row- your boat'... jojo

Amen Brother.. I will use PAI anytime.. Iv'e done 3 engines and had several tranny's done. they are all doing great.. jojo

hell, if you have mack build it, I bet $32,000.00 is going to be the final bill. jojo

you reckon the V.E.B.C. is failing or maybe a bad oring in it?? jojo

Yeah, I woke up.. I guess I hit my head really hard getting out from under a truck, my lights went out, and I guess I went to Shangri La while I was out... I think I'm back now... Jojo

I do not understand why there is so much hate and anger towards Mr. Trump... It seemed to me that we were on a good path, and with another term, we would have been a much more independent country, and economically 'We the people' would have more of our hard earned money, whether it was from better tax laws, or lower cost's of living, or even both for some.. I wish he had this next 4 years to get it done.. No hatred here for our current President and his people, Yes I have called him bad names and laughed at him and his crew, I just have a lot of questions, and the 'head scratching' is causing a rash on my head... I Love our Country!!! jojo

From what I understand.. Rich people and smart business people/owners.. use the tax lawss that are current for that tax year. then they are able to reduce their payout. However, the responsibilty of owning a big business huge, and at any given time a law suit or insurance claim can hurt really bad.. So to me if wealthy business owners can use the tax laws legally and save some money to pay the 'ambulance chasers' I say go for it!!! I would try to reduce my taxes any legal way possible if I could, but I cant... Oh well .... jojo

I bet he can rattle the box rubbers by hand, and i like the idea of taking the end cap off, as well as jacking up on the trunnion bar. it would be good to have a helper run the jack while you look at the end of the trunnion. I have used a company call Carolina axle surgeons... I think you can just go to the 'web' and look up axle surgeons near you, and one will pop up.. the last one I had done was a few years ago, and it was $1500.00 parts and labor. all you have to do is remove the wheels and the springs and leave stands under the frame rails. they will cut ou the old bar and weld in a new one.. Of course if the 'A frame' is rusted through, well that changes everything.. Good luck Ricky.... jojo

so true 'F'... I did a few clutches and lots of programming, but nothing internally. i have had the shift covers off a few times and saw the importance of lifting it 'Straight up' because of the tone wheels for the speed sensors... very delicate.. well, I will just watch and hopefully learn from this thread... Jojo

no need to apologize.. This what we are here for.. I wont be much help at all because I have been away from M-Drives for 4 years, and the hell of it is..... I was sent to school for M-Drive and became a 'Master Tech' at Mack, but I don't know sh!t about them... aint that funny.... jojo

hell I was sure it was a main breaker for the cab power including the ECU's.. I'm sorry but I m at a loss on that one.. I remember it being part of the repair for the 9-2 code... jojo

So I have thought about this for a while.... I think Kamala, is over her head and she KNEW it... I really think she will SNAP, and do one of 2 things.....(1) tell the truth about the lies that she knows ...... (2)... Have a 'Guilt ridden stroke' and Die.. any thought's?? jojo

you are very kind... Glenn is the Sh!t.... jojo

if you dont have a small shitty filter clipped to the compressor, it should be getting its air from the intake manifold via a copper pipe.. I hope Im right, the E-6 gets it off the manifold around the back of the engine to the compressor... dammit... i was thinkin I knew the answer... jojo

I do have book's.... Jojo

yes, I thought 4 valve, too,,,, but..... I dont have a ton of knowledge on this era.. jojo

can you look at the part number cast into the heads to see if they are the same ? just a thought. I assume 20 bolt heads... jojo

Well here in Salisbury.... they would be fueling up their 'Liquor cycle' to go buy/sell some more weed.. Jojo

Oooop's your right Onyx ... sorry.... jojo

do you have a 12 spd? thats an air filter for the tranny ..jojo

yes sir.. I'm Ok.. I have built more than 30 of these engines, and I have many 'correct' engine tools for E-6 and E-7/E-Tech.. I hope to build more engines in the near future, because new trucks are insane and a lot of guys are trying to buy older trucks. I can build an E-Tech at a reasonable price. I have to use PAI parts to keep it realistic, but they run. Ive done a few that way.. Jojo
