Joey Mack's post in Toe-In Adjustment was marked as the answer
there are NO pins just loosen the castle nut and strike the end of the steering arm and it will fall out, leave the nut on a turn or 2 so it dont hit the ground..it may take a few strikes, but she'll come...

Joey Mack's post in Trunnion bearing lube was marked as the answer
grease. the plug in the picture is an air bleeder. it looks like it may be sealed by paint. pump grease in until it comes out of the bleeder. may want to just put modern spring loaded bleeders in the trunnion caps so you dont bust the caps.

Joey Mack's post in Rear end procedure was marked as the answer
ok, so that is the rear carrier. what you can do is get (2) 16MM bolts about 4'' long and cut the heads off to make guide bolts. pull the bolts out of the carrier at the top side opposite bolts 10 and 2 o'clock.. then install the guide studs you made. then remove the rest of the 5/8'' 12 point bolts. then you cna slide the input housing forward with the drive shaft still in place and add some RTV to the carrier with a small screw driver or a paint stick, whatever. Of course clean the whole thing first, there will only be a small amount of oil leaking, use brake clean or equivlant to get ir dry and ready to take RTV.. do not block the oil galleries with the RTV.. no biggie, as far as preload, you wont be affecting that because you are sliding the assembly out, and right back in. no timing to worry about either.. and no tooth pattern to worry about either..

Joey Mack's post in Having trouble starting a 2003 Mack CH was marked as the answer
I used to take a seperate battery, and run a power wire to the EECU fuse, and clip a jumper Cable to ground in the truck, then crank it up. Most common repair was a bad starter, provided the batteries passed a load test

Joey Mack's post in E7 exhaust manifold leak was marked as the answer
yes they are 12MM studs. PAI has a kit and the gaskets, felpro makes the gaskets.. be sure to put high temp sealant on the threads for the bottom studs. Those holes are live right in to the pushrod bore.. also, pay attention to how deep you go with them. You may hit the push rod, E-7's have thinner push rods than E-Techs, but just get an understanding of what you have.. Jojo

Joey Mack's post in Mp7 Tools was marked as the answer
Maybe look up ''Mack Essential tools'' there are a few for the alignment of the rear cover, .004'' feeler gauge for gear train backlash, a cam timing tool kit,, A+B slot stuff., you can make your own cam lifting jig, just put padding on the hooks, clear fuel return hose and banjo fittings, Premium Tech Tool in a good laptop, Patience..... and the book that I have.. the barring tool, front main seal and rear main seal drivers, ok... my brain is overheating,, maybe someone else will add to the list..

Joey Mack's post in 92/93 series rear end questions was marked as the answer
the bull gear carries the oil to the top part of the housing. the trough shaft carries it to the power divider like a screw pump. then the excess pours back into the top housing through drain holes. ( front rear),, the rea rear is the same with the bull gear, but the top housing is only splash lubed.

Joey Mack's post in 2016 CXU613 ride height was marked as the answer
There is a hole in the frame on the left, between the drives. It is about 1 1/2" diameter. In the hole you will see a slot for a large screwdriver. To adjust the height, you loosen the smaller bolt near the hole and then rotate the slot with a screwdriver.. this will move the control valve, which will raise or lower the frame. Have you adjusted air ride on any other trucks before?

Joey Mack's post in 2007 Mack CV713 hard to prime and bubbles in fuel filter housing was marked as the answer
Ok.. I just saw the video, the large o-ring at the base of the globe is leaking air.. that is the problem.. drain it down to just below the globe. Clean and inspect the o-ring. Clean the lock ring and globe flange. Re - install and only pour enough fuel to show 1 inch of fuel, and re - test. That air leak is common, but can be avoided by keeping it clean. There is also a check valve inside the big input fitting. They are about $10.00, and well worth replacing.. it is easy to do.. Jojo

Joey Mack's post in 1976 R model was marked as the answer
interesting question.. since the brake shoe part numbers are the same, the drum diameter is the same.. I guess i would try to cross reference the drums for a 22.5 and a 24.5. can you measure the mounting bolt pattern of the drum? take a measurement from one bolt to another bolt but skip the bolt next to it, I bet the brake drums will be the same.. because I doubt the would make that many different sizes, when the brakes were sort-of standardized.. IE: 4515Q shoes, and a 996B drum.. lets see what the guys say.. Jojo

Joey Mack's post in 2000 RD 690S EM7-300 Starts, Idle's then shutdowns along with non-working guages. was marked as the answer
one thing you can do is use your DVOM, and find a good ground on the cab, and check for continuity on all the pins in the J-3 plug.. that may point you towards a short to ground.. are you familiar with how to read the wire codes on the white wires? It is actually easy to do, and really helps when you are checking the wires at a distance from the VECU.. jojo

Joey Mack's post in fuel pump oil line? was marked as the answer
It can work, but it is not as flexible, so directing it around corners or bending may be a small challenge.. I doubt it is passing through a narrow area where the larger diameter is a concern.. jojo

Joey Mack's post in 99 E7 350 Oil pan leak or silastic seal leak? was marked as the answer
Ok.. it is very common for oil to leak/weep between the block and flywheel housing.. a lot of work to fix a minor issue.. the rubber gasket is to be installed dry, however, a small amount of Mack Gray RTV is applied at the seams where the flywheel housing mates up, and the front cover mates up. 4 points.. new bolt insulators are a must.. PAI sells a nice pan gasket set.. the E-Tech pan gasket is very good.. Good luck with your RD,, you are in the right place for info.. Jojo
