Run it...

Ok. The metal on the plug is common, yes looks scary but... As far as the boot, do you have the round shifter boot that pops in the floor pan? If so, there is a second boot under it, and it can pop the shifter out of gear when you let off the throttle...

are those gauges showing numbers at low idle? 625-650rpm? I see you are not at 180 degrees, what is it at 180? to me, it looks good given the current pics. 20+ at hot idle is normal for an older worked engine. 40+ going down the road is good too. I suspect 65+ on cold start up in the morning.. so long as oil changes are done in the correct interval..

I just went back to the start of this thread... it's a 2000 CH-613, been wrecked,, broken tranny mount,, one thing I forgot about was the shifter inner boot, til now... any chance the inner boot is still there, and is adding to the issue? the tranny mount (rear engine mount) needs to be replaced, but if the inner boot is still there, it needs to be cut out and thrown away.. there was a svc. buletin about this, 20+ years ago..

Me either...

Here are 2 vin's from my old fleet. They are from late 90's E-7 RD-690 'S' models.. 083858 + 083859.. maybe you can compare yours to this,, only other thing is that these trucks had 385's on Budd wheels.. I know it is NOT exactly what you are looking for but ... who knows.
-
i suggest you drain the oil through a large strainer or colander.. You can get a cheap one at the dollar store.. this way you can see what comes out.. hopefully just oil..

Well said MarkT.. I always think of the 'little guy' the one who is trying to keep the family trucks moving, or trying to start out and needs to have a million dollars in order to earn a half a million...

Like we have been saying for 2 decades now.... They make it so that a good mechanic cant make repairs because of the rules and regs dictated by Volvo for example, couple that with the required tools to do the repair, cost sooo damn much money, that it in some cases is not worth buying if you dont have a steady flow of a particular truck model. It forces you to go to the dealership.. And of course you have the computerized side of repairs also..... To me, the truck makers are going to put their reputation on the line if folks just stop buying trucks, because of the crazy high maint. costs..

somehow Quinnipiac Polling says that Kamala is favored over President Trump by 2%... Reporters on the street are asking people who they support, and ALL of the Harris supporters say abortion is the big issue. Of course the news hand picks the footage that they show in order to move an agenda forward.. anyway, I still dont believe that she is as far ahead as is broadcasted.. 16 more days... 🤞

is the inlet to the volute a different size? just curious ..
-
sounds good.. i have done a few hub swaps on RW's, so If I can find my notes, I may have info for you..
-
Glad you found Humor Mech.. am I wrong??
-
jervn4.... if you will... post the truck you have with the year, vin, engine model,and pictures of this rig.. Mack has a lot of common parts... I dont think you are trying re-invent the wheel here...
-
yep,, you have to take the batt boxes. or the fuel and air tanks off, and so-on, then cut the huck bolts, and thats just what is outside the frame, then there is the transmission, which has the ''rear engine mounts'' on the bell housing.. Dammit..
-
as far as my book set goes... I was hoping to find a buyer for a set at $500.00..... Each book values at $50.00 for the small ones, and $100.00+ for the big ones.. But in your case you may only need 1 book.. Not trying to sell you anything just feel like posting my thoughts.. Unfortunately, there isn't a large demand for what I have, even though these books are important.. No-one is re-building Mack drive trains anymore... its all automated tranny's and laptops for diagnostics.. jojo
-
yep... the new picture is proof that something big happened...
-
your fine, it does fit under the hood, right?
-
I am watching trump on R.A.V. and his microphone cut out,, it's been out for almost 10 minutes now, but you can still here the crowd cheering him.. He is still on stage and just walking in circles, addressing the crowd the best he can.. This is strange,, I have watched about 15 of his rally's for weeks now, and this is a first..
-
well,, put Real Americas Voice on, and watch another Trump rally.. He is in Detroit,,

the most popular turbo I saw was the shwitzer S-400 SO41... I am not a guru on these.. here are some specs from my Book.. sorry about the links, I cant post pictures anymore... https://photos.app.goo.gl/zB55w73xWV612ocL9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/krYpkXQNvxUWnZMm7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/dZCKnYxR7pcQ5ZAaA

Just happens to be the series if transmission i was trained on and had the pleasure of building many if them.. I still like to look at the books just to keep it fresh in my head. I havent done one in a few years now.. The good thing is that i have a large library of Mack svc. Manuals, so i can give accurate answers..

No, unless its major, but it cant be major because you can drive the truck. The sliding clutch in the center of the synchro is hidden from view. What i have found many times is the clutching teeth wear to a diamond shape, and then the sliding clutch spits out of gear. A Mack synchro is large and has 2 clutch baskets, one on each side and is directional. It resembles a motorcycle clutch..
