FOR SALE Factory Mack Neway Air ride Suspension
bowtiebulldog replied to bowtiebulldog's topic in Parts for Sale
Rob, Yes it is on Budd Hubs. Studs. All studs were actually replaced about a year before I took it off. It does have inboard drums though. -
I have a Radiator that was purchased BRAND NEW from Mack in 2004. This was a brand new core at the price of $1400.00. I built the radiator using my existing tanks which were thoroughly cleaned before installation. I parked the truck about 8 months after doing this. This is the offset forward core to accomadate a viscous fan hub, so you can change your belts without tilting the radiator forward or smashing the fins. I dont want to scrap it, but I'm tired of it sitting around. I am probably not going to build anymore Macks, so that is the reason for selling. It was in a 1977 R685ST, but I dont see any reason why it wouldn't fit any R 600 series, unsure if it would drop right in a 700. Located in Central Indiana. Please call my cell and leave a message....765-661-2909

I have a Factory Neway Air ride suspension clip from a 1982 Cruiseliner. Mack rears with 3.86 gears. Complete from forward crossmember back. Frame isn't in that good of shape, but suspension is in good shape. I had this clip on my International 4070B when I had it stretched out. I removed it and put it back to factory wheelbase to run Canada. I will sell this for scrap price, which is about $500.00. I don't want to scrap it because I don't believe in scrapping something that someone could use, but I'm not going to give it away. Located in Central Indiana, and I can push it up onto either a car trailer or a regular flatbed. If interested call my cell at..........765-661-2909 and please leave a message.

Anyone Need A 81 F Model Sleeper?
bowtiebulldog replied to kevin mccune's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Yes, I am interested. Please send me a personal message so we may discuss further. Thanks, Mike -
Well, I guess I stand corrected. I guess that is the difference between somebody that does it only on paper and somebody that actually does the real thing. I have stretched enough trucks in the last 20 years so I guess I will continue to do it the WRONG way.
-
Every truck I have stretched out I always measure front hub to rear hub. I stretched my first truck when I was 15 years old(a 1971 White Freightliner cabover) and I have always done that. I have never met anyone who stretches frames and uses that formula. In that case, 2 identical trucks with tandems, one a normal tandem and one a Canadian spread would be the same wheelbase.

Glass And Door Seals
bowtiebulldog replied to MACKAMOKE's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
I just received some flexible window seal for my doors on my Transtar. Great seals and worked perfect. The only thing I don't like about J.C. Whitney is there shipping times, they aren't the quickest shippers! But it is worth the wait for the price and the hard to find little things. -
The proper, universal way to measure wheelbase is, The center of the steer axle hub to the center of the furthestmost rear axle hub center. Period.

You might want to try this simple check. Are your tank vents clean? It sounds like it could be a simple vent cleaning to fix your problem. If your tank vents are clogged, you will NOT draw fuel from the suck tank( right side ). You will draw just enough to run for a few minutes because everytime you open the system you give it air.

Glass And Door Seals
bowtiebulldog replied to MACKAMOKE's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
I use J C Whitney for all my window weatherstripping for the doors. They have a big selection of types and sizes. If you are not making a 100% resto truck, these are your best bet for the money -
They came out of my 1982 Cruiseliner. 1800 Series driveline with a 1700 driveline in between the drives.

I have a set of 3:65's. I rebuilt the power divider and the thru-shaft last fall. They are even still in the truck so you could see them work. How much will you give me for them?

I know I have never seen the great big Thermodyne emblems on anything but the sides of the hoods of R Models. These are much bigger than the ones that were on B's. Now, I have never seen in person, an R Model with these big emblems, BUT I know Mack made them because I have Mack dealer sales books from the mid to late 60's with actual pictures of these R Models, with these big Thermodyne emblems.

If you have 2 spin on oil filters and the small fitting on your coolant filter, you need a 294C Mack filter kit. It is cheaper than buying them individually. They also have a kit for the large coolant filter fitting. I always used 8 gallons of oil in my 237's....they all had the small oil pans. If you have 2 oil filters with the original pan, you will have the small oil pan. The large pans were used for the extended service interval set-ups which had 3 oil filters.

If this is a work truck, I would put in either a 9513 or a 12513 Fuller. A 9513 will hold up to a 300 2 valve and can be bought for about $500.00 and a 12513 for $900.00. A lot easier and quicker job than fabricating a bunch of pieces. Also if you break down on the road you would be able to buy parts.

My Piece Of Junk Mack
bowtiebulldog replied to motortrans's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
motortrans, I would swear that you copied my attitude when I bought my 1997 Wild Breed CH613 E7 454. That truck was JINXED! I could tell you about an 2 hours worth of horror stories that my wife and I had with that truck!! To put in a short text, engine blew up twice under warranty,2 weeks down every time, MAJOR overheating problems, bad engine vibrations that would mack the belts hit the fan and throw them off. NASTY fights with Mack district service managers,dealers and salesman. That truck almost put me out of business. The best thing that happened was when it went out of warranty and I fixed it myself. Mack warranty is a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sold the truck after I fixed it, lost big money on it, and REFUSED to ever buy another Mack with wet liners. I went back to 300's and 237's. I also finally went back to my old favorite...NTC Big Cam 3 Cummins. I really understand your frustration and aggravation. I definitely feel sorry for you. I wish you the best of luck! motortrans, If you are interested in the details... e-mail me and I will tell you in detail what all happened.
