Marcel, Yes, T2050 5 speed OD

Don S at the Mack Museum once mentioned "slippery shit" used on the ball/socket at the cab shifter interface. Not sure what it is but you might send the Museum a note and ask the lube. Ron - any suggestions? BTW, my shift is "sloppy". Tight would be better.

Did you lube the shift linkage and the "joystick" under the cab? Clutch adjusted and linkage lubed?

Are these the culprits?

Mike, Yes, flat black because "I believe" it came from the factory that way. What are you suggesting? Ken

Hey Paul! Where you been? I haven't heard from you nor seen you on BMT since prior to the Mopar Nationals at Carlisle (July 11th). Sure hope you are doing well and things are okay.

Who is planning to attend? I am going to leave the farm around 7a and be at the show grounds by 8:30a. Anyone traveling west on Route 22 from I-99? Convoy? BTW, I am about 10 minutes from the 22/99 interchange. And Barry...perhaps you could "suggest" to the church group to have REAL BREAKFAST FOOD!!!! And those attending...don't forget the BMT nooner!

This event is scheduled for August 1-3 (Friday thru Sunday) at Carlisle, PA. I never attended this meet and am thinking of attending on Friday (if the weather is nice and I have the MH ready for Watt's show). However I will not be driving the MH to Carlisle. 2324ABMackAltoona may be attending with his H. Anyone else planning to attend?

Mack must have transitioned to electronic tach and speedo for commonality with both mechanical and electronic engines.

I removed the upper and lower grille sections from the MH. I am going to repaint the CAC and support flat black. I plan to use a Scotch-Brite pad to remove the old flaking paint. I bought a rattle can of Rust-oleum BBQ Black High Heat for grills and stoves (1200 deg F). Any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks!

Driver's side muffler bracket will be difficult to find. No NOS in Mack parts system. I been looking for several years and nothing. There is likely a MH sitting in a salvage yard somewhere. Either side fuel tank should be the same. I may know of a tank but will need to check the size. Good luck!

Dennis, Your MH is very nice. Personally I would keep it original but your choice. Enjoy! P.S. If you "toss" any parts....send them to south central PA.

Hey Al...did you need to go to the bathroom? Looks like you are "holding it". BTW, thanks for the pics!

Do you want me to send a case of bottled water? All joking aside, I hope that area gets some rain soon and fire gets shutdown....before more losses occur. Rob - keep your family, friends, and yourself safe!

Good news! Looking forward to seeing pics. Good luck and enjoy the MH!

Highway speed is based on engine speed, transmission final ratio, rear axle ratio, and tire size. I think the important question is...what is the gross weight? That will determine your horsepower requirement. Either of these engines (E7 or EM7), if geared correctly, is capable of running 70 mph.

E7-250 = 1950 rpm, E7-300 = 1700 and 1900, E7-350 & E7-400 = 1800 EM7s were rated at 1750 rpm Based on my engine experience, I would suspect more than a governor change. I agree with Superdog....lots of parts to change. My MH is an EM7-300 with T2050 transmission and 5.02 ratio. I can run all day at 65-70 mph (GCW is 65,000#).

If "red" is there, I will be there!

I agree, if electronic tach...likely an electronic engine.

You are not far from me. Watt has two (2) MHs that they may part out. They plan to send them to the scraper soon. I can't remember if they have a visor. BTW, there are two (2) visor styles, rounded and one that is more square. Don't know the manufacturers. (green has rounded visor)(black MH has "square" visor) I was able to locate NOS grille sections but still need upper driver's side. I bought most of them many many years ago from Mack. Mack does not have any more in stock. You can order new grille sections but they are ALL BLACK and you must buy all six (6) sections (at least $1200 for all six). There is a BMT thread concerning the MH grille. I recently found used upper and lower center sections that are better than mine. My upper center section has some bars missing and the lower section is cracked. Sent you a pm with my contact info.

EM7 peak torque @ 1020 rpm E7 peak torque @ 1200-1250 rpm

Mike = Superdog Al = 57 bcr? others????

Where are you located? You might find a visor at Gerhart's in October or Macungie. Welcome to the "need a grille" club.

At the bottom of the speadsheet it states "No domestic chassis will be built after Jan 1, 1994". To me that means 94 and 95 were export only. Could be "downunder" but maybe someone else knows the answer.

Congrats and welcome to the "MH club". Mack only built 122 1993 MH613. 1993 was the last year for US production.
