Superliner RW700 Steering axle
The Heinz replied to 1961H67's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I like the look too, reminds me of how I like my pickup wheels and tires: more tire, less wheel. -
Superliner RW700 Steering axle

Interesting, I don't know if NC is like that, or if this is just a trend that fleets are following. Thanks for that info though, another thing I didn't know. -
Superliner RW700 Steering axle

It's really common around here, I see a lot of the concrete mixers and dump trucks run it, but I've noticed low boy haulers using wide steer tires recently, bet it gives them better stability or something. -
23914107 is the correct number for the driver side, 23914110 is the passenger side. I can probably get numbers for harnesses if you need them. Like a baby! I miss some posts every once and a while, usually because I have a nasty habit of never checking this when I'm at home. Need to change that.

Just checked two 1987 trucks, one with an E6 350, the other with an EM6 300, and they both have the same crankshaft, camshaft, con rods, and pistons, but the injectors and even the injection pumps are different. I don't know if the EM6 being in an R686ST and the other being in a Superliner would make a difference or not.

I have a couple of VIN's of trucks with EM6's and 300hp, I would assume that's the highest a Maxidyne would go. Have yet to run across an EM9 though.

This truck came with an EM6 285 2VH and an Allison HT740D.

I think these originally came with Cummins 855's, switching to the 8.3 liters at some point.

Joey's pretty spot on. I don't have the hard numbers because the last ASET in-frame we handled was so long ago, but the last engine swing for an ASET we did in '22 was over $34k. Add inflation into it as well as you not getting the same price as the fleet this was done for on our end, and it'll skyrocket.

I think Mack still sells the camelback, which they better. I haven't met anyone that actually likes the mRide (vRide with the stupidly expensive v-rods that break all the time), and there's obviously applications where air ride is not suitable. As for Mack rear ends, I really haven't seen any problems outside of age or abuse. I have seen more Meritors fail than Macks, but those probably weren't Meritor's fault.

MAYBERRY TRUCK SHOW
The Heinz replied to 1961H67's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I've never liked the mega chrome crowd, especially the stretched frame, low-riding ones. I can only see that making it harder to drive the darn thing, but what do I know, I'm a parts guy. -
Hope it turned out well, I could have helped if I had seen this post. I keep an Excel sheet of 45 VINs for old Macks, an '86 White, an N14 equipped Volvo, and a couple of Titans, just for cases like this.

MAYBERRY TRUCK SHOW
The Heinz replied to 1961H67's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
This one is the same that I've seen, says Sowers on the doors and is a triaxle. -
My range for truck shows is a little small right now, but my friend Frank (the red Superliner I've posted pictures of) was there without the truck. Sent me a bunch of videos of all the V8's running, including the tractor pull champ demonstrating what 2600HP looks like. I need to add that to my list of future events.

MAYBERRY TRUCK SHOW

Looks like a good time. I remember that blue R700 from last year's Greensboro show. I was surprised at how quiet that thing was compared to the GMC (?) that had a 2 stroker in it. My brother isn't into trucks like me but he was enjoying how weird those things sound compared to everything else he's heard!
