Electric horn
cruiseliner64 replied to cruiseliner64's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Thanks guys,ill try that later today.i just didnt want to do damage and then have to look for one.... Paul -
Hi all,might be a bit of a stupid question but how is the horn button removed from the centre of the steering wheel? I ask because i dont want to break it and maybe theres an easy way to do it.i think the horn button is stuck as i found a wire hanging behind the dash and when connected horn blows continualy...small problem as the air horns work ok but in Ireland the electric horn is a leagle requirment....thanks Paul.

Hi.must be something about being around trucks and other machinery.hard work and long hours are the norm while the "nice people" get everything.that was some hardship you have been through Paul but you weathered it.i have been kicked in the teeth a few times by life but never to the extent you have.i think if your prepared to work you will grind out a living somehow.i know i did.keep on truckin is my motto. Paul

Hi Vlad,iv been reading your adventures in search of Mack trucks.they are very interesting.you should write a book.im sure it would sell very well.thanks for shareing them with us.you tell a very different story about the countrys you visit than the stories the media tells us.it is great to get the other side of it from someone like you. Paul

Hi all,asking questions agsin as we try to get to know our Cruiseline inside out.The trunnion bearing in the Camelback suspension is it oil or grease lube? The reason i ask is theres one grease point at the rear of the trunnion tower and what appears to be an oil plug on the bearing cap(see pic).i understand the weight has to be off the bearing to lube it.any infomation would be great.thanks. Paul

Axle mounted Steering box
cruiseliner64 replied to ws721's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Did the austrailian and new zealand Cruiseliner and superliner have rectangular headlights? My 82 Cruiseliner has axel mounted steering box and round headlights in round bezels. -
Yeah im gonna do a valve set.iv ordered valve cover gaskets.its a weight off the mind especially when trying to do this truck on a limited budget...we will get there..... Paul

Hi all,well i started the Cruiseliner.she started instantly as she always did and ticked over nice and smooth.i let her tick over for a while.there wad no excessive smoke and no rattleing or other odd noises.when i gave the throtle a push she reved up nicely.i thought that maybe no.3 cylinder was a little smokier than the others on rev up but cleared very quickly.im a much happier man now!!! Cant thank you all enough for your support.the piece of metal must have been left behind by someone else.love to know where it came from but i doubt ill ever find out... Paul
-
Thanks guys,im going to start it tomorrow see how she goes.ill keep you posted.its a pity this happened as she was driving well up to now.thats old iron for you!!!!
-
Thanks for your tips.yes it was running when turned off.are these engines wet or dry liners? Its disappointing this has happened but we will get it right... Paul
-
Hi all,some really bad news for our Cruiseliner.i took the metal object to a metal recycleing center who tested it to see what it actualy made of.they said its chrome steel.so now im thinking valve,valve seat or cylinder liner.only things i can think of made of that type of steel.im going to do a cylinder leak down test as im afraid to even turn the engine over let alone start it.we bore scoped the heads manifold and exhaust turbine houseing and cant see anything chiped, broken or missing.any of you out there that have any idea of where chrome steel could come from?id be very interested. Paul

Cool truck Jason,we bought a Cruiseliner a few weeks ago and couldnt get the cab to jack up.it turned out to be the hydraulic cab lock seals at the back of the cab.the seals were gone and the system would not build enough pressure to release the locks and let the cab raise.dont know if the MH has the same set up but that was our experence.the truck looks really great. Paul -
Hi all,well my son and i spent a few hours going over the exhaust ports and manifold with a bore scope and we could not see anything cracked chiped or broken.where ever this piece of iron came from we cant say.im going to bring the scope out to the turbo guy and look at the exhaust turbine houseing.its all we can think of next to look at.the oil feed pipe is UNF thread and we're in metric land so we are looking for a fitting to block it so we can start the engine.thats where we are now.thanks for your intetest guys. Paul
