Mine are all 6 volt, I confirmed it on most of them by checking the light bulb numbers. Stop and tail was # 1158 6 volts. There is room to run a pair of 6 volt Optima batteries in series for added amps. I'm sure some have been changed to 12 over the years. Six volt systems also run bigger cables and wiring than 12.

That Is the up graded one I got 50 gallons of Foo Gas to use up.

Me at normal b.b.q. too much lighter fluid?

Hope your running the low shear case to maniflod bolts with you blower. Ever get a blow back the bolts shear and the blower case and intake live on

see my generation learned it was a snap.

I'd check to see if the fuel pick up tube in the tank may have cracked or broken off. Also the ECU is very sensitive to voltage drop. Anything below 11.5 volts and it has running issues, its more of a problem on those as the cab and chassis electrics are 24v and the engine is 12 volt. Check to see if you have a battery on the way out.

I would build a ton more of houses to give to brother vets and their families in need, other than my wife passing, I'm pretty happy with most of what life has dealt me.

That's the Volvo Corporate private memo right?? Macks Are Dead

Funny I If he won, I saw him collecting all the Detroit Diesels in the U.S.

Well it will fill the GMC void since they no longer seem to offer anything over a 3500 series so the Chevrolet sales don't suffer. Except for a snow plow blocking the nose, I like the one piece tilt nose in the Binder.

That half is only the federal tax still got State of N.Y. and NYC tax and what ever borough or county tax . take the 2 million you'll end up with and buy an older MACK you like and have it made better than new.

Looks like the Kerax armored conversionn MACK/Volvo Chassis. The units are made on a lot of different chassis. Here is a Renault one. Look is universal for combat recognition mainly

Seems now every dump truck and Dump trailer combo is either a Mack or International all I see for OTR is Petes Volvo and an occasional K.W. although Shaws wanted to get some Anthems but the lead time was too long to they bought Navistars.

I agree with the steps and moving the tanks back. My Marmon is due for it's first repaint and I'm seriously thinking of using Lonestar air cans and matching them to the black and silver on the truck. Less visible to me. I just like the flat hood sides on the S' liners, Bisons, Generals and Marmons. Big canvas for striping and such.

Probably catch flak but I think Superliners with no cans looks sharp, really clean business look to me. Paul

Whited Peterbilt of Bangor supplied it for the movie and did the final engrave on the tag, turns out it was an order for a company in Prineton and they were given some kick back before the unit was turned over to them. For me it's worth the engine/trans for one of my Acars.

The wobble could be simple as misadjusted wheel bearings, worn tie rod ends or a worn drag link to worn king pins, start at the easiest the bearing just because the drums were off to do the brakes and than check the balance for wear. Tie rod ends and drag link end are rebuild-able and I believe may also have some adjustment one the ball and socket . The 6 volt electrics work the same as 12 volts only less voltage more amps. Has the system been converted to negative ground or is it positive ground? Lighting start with basics like fuses, bulbs, grounds, switches and finally the wiring harness. Beacon turns than look to the light contact between the motor shaft and light head. Sometimes the contacts loose their tension so no power to the bulbs when it spins. Just on g.p. I would replace the rubber brake hoses, you only have a single master system and just for peace of mind I would do all the rubber lines. Good luck with you Mack and post up some pics when you can.

I like it to make mine (not buy the crappy ones, it's my ass on the line) of 1/8" thick by 3" wide full loop 360 degrees, gusseted flanges to bolt through floor to top plate. IF the front joint fails a 360 will stop the shaft from beating up the trans tunnel even though it's main job is to stop the shaft from going it to the ground. I use Chromium Molybdenum steel with a minimum of 9% Chromium and 2% Moly. Same to work as mild steel same weight but much stronger and the strength is uniform. CroMo is also rust and corrosion resistant. You can MIG it with 75/25 gas with no issues at all. Weld it up than heat the weld area to dark orange and let cool, that will unstress the weld.

I'll see if I can get a photo of it. It's so fragile it is in a plastic sleeve. I'll try to get one with out the flash or at least limit it. Paul

yup.

The F series and the previous 1915 and up hoists according to the 1922 flyer from Detroit Wood Hoists call for glycerin-based medium weight ( 60 wt to 90 wt ?) hydraulic fluid. Than it was called for because it was corrosion resistant, non hydroscopic and fire resistant. Still made today. Atlas , ARCO and others make it

When it's probably all you have to work with you treat it special, I did in the early days.

My wife and I were putting a 64 Nova together for her before she died. You might think about it in the future for you top 3 project. I'm never going to touch it.

With my BSC/GMC blower it'll run up to 17500 max but it also has separate oil system for the case bearings. Your set up looks perfect for the street. Probably get video Oct 20 at the S.E. Gassers meet in Aiken SC as long at the storm didn't ruin the track. I'll swap in a set of 4:88's for the 1/4. Mine is a 1/8 car. Mine is a brutal car to run 2455 lbs ,no sound deadening, seam sealer most panels are lightened, lexan glass glass nose, doors trunk and rear bumper, swiss cheese chassis, 5 gals of fuel and the lighted Optima battery I could get.

You did the hose the way I would have with the pipe. My upper hoses are a plumbing suppliers dream, look in the right side pic of mine. Mine is a 1 to 6 ratio , about 20 lbs at 1500 rpm to 50 at 7500. Keep the front wheels up 4 ft in first, bounce down and up about the same in second and bounce down and up about a foot a bit in third. Course the 6:05 locked rear helps quite a bit. Just don't turn corners with the locked spiders Mercury Marine 350's run a 90 clocked therm .housing on most twin apps.
