  1. I'll take pic # 2 just wrap it up I'll come get it.
  2. Even damaged!
  3. And I still want pricing on valve covers, heads , block or complete.
  4. They are not cheap to rebuild and if you don't do some extra work you can have issues quick with a hot E 9 that's why I suggested selling them as is and letting the purchaser decide how to proceed then its on them if they go all out or stock.
  5. Superliner 1 was as above, plus round headlights, wood grain dash panels, 22" 3 spoke steering wheel, smaller air tanks mounted in tandem on L side. 2 had rectangle ( square) headlights, larger single air tank on L side, 2 spoke steering wheel of 22" late 80's and 18" in the 90's with higher level interior, black dash panels, different cooling stack arrgmt with different charge air piping which was updated and changed again in late 85 after less than a year production. I'm sure there is more but I'm tired maybe ill put em side by side and make pics one day that show the difference.
  6. Has anyone looked at the new Super Econodyne package? Most people dont even know it exists, Mack sets up a pinnacle axle back with all the smart way aerodynamics and Michelin X-one tires, then puts in an MP8 445 Super Econodyne engine and M drive 12 spd transmission with a .78 OD, some 2.66 rears, yes 2.66 rears. the Super Econodyne package has its own engine programming to get the power band down low, it makes 445hp from 1500-1800rpm and 1750 tq from 1080-1380. It looks like the new setup will be pretty good for OTR fuel mileage getters, Oh and the new econodyne engines now have Econoboost torque curves. The MP8 505 Econodyne with Econoboost makes 1500 ft lbs under 1000rpm and stays over 1500 all the way to 1700rpm peaking at 1750 ft lbs, holding over 1500 ft lbs. for over 700 rpm, thats a pretty good toque curve for a 13 liter with emissions on it.
  7. Just an idea of what you have? Is this a junk yard or is this new old stock parts or what?
  8. Only ever seen 22" and 18" in a Mack myself, I have two 22's hanging on the wall from my Superliners I swap to 18's, VIP makes several styles for macks.
  9. Still need one more though!
  10. Why do you want to swap a 1070 for an 18spd? Id go the other way if I had an 18.
  11. Hmm, what kind of Volvo? station wagon, hatchback? I havent heard of any real front end issues, but being mostly set back axle trucks they are a little different thatn what Im used to. I wouldnt know what to think without more info, type of truck, axle type, axle/suspension rating, and what are you hauling? what kind and size of tires is a big factor also, an axle not made for floats has different hubs and putting floats on a 12k axle made for 11R22's will kill em quick, just as much with big tread on light front axles with heavy loads.
  12. Cab hinge is attatched to the bracket on the front frame horn that the crossmember bolts to, Im kinda surprised it didnt get both sides its not real sturdy and they were really jerkin on it with two trucks, especially since its not for pulling a loaded truck.
  13. ok so looks to me like the tow hook in the bumper is a screw in like a volvo cabover in the Mid East, we had lots of practice with them in IQ, they screw into two holes in the bumper to a crossmember that is bolted across the front frame horns. In the Volvo trucks it was clearly marked in three languages, "NOT FOR PULLING LOADED/TRACTOR ONLY" we had to make an adapter to get to use that point to tow a tractor but if we could we got a civilian wreckewr(mostly Volvo EMPL's from Austria) to use the underlift and forked the front axle to tow them. Of course I hooked a HET to one and yanked the crap out of it to get it out of the mud once at camp Cedar II and I heard lots of popping!
  14. Sounds about right, was that factory spec or extra strength pressed valve seats, I remember talking to them and hearing about 3 levels of head rebuild for an E9.
  15. If you say you wouldn't I think your lieing. Lol
  16. If that was my sister id stare all the time, probably have a pic of her tits on my phone.
  17. From your new description of the issue I think you main issue is low power from the aset engine. Mack has several updates for that engine to get it running better the low power at low rpm was a big issue with those engines and its all to keep the truck from smoking to meet EPA particulates requirements. In as delivered form those engines power band was high and they made almost no power below 1300rpm, if you can get Mack to fix that issue your truck will run fine if the low gears are good.
  18. I dont know whats wrong with your truck but an allison in a truck running 50 or less stop and go should leave the others all day long, and the engine braking should be excellent. I know I get a lot of crap from some on here advocating allisons for vacational work but they are proven performers. your D11 is not the same as your aset in that granite, the aset engines from 04-06 are turds unless you get em set right, the DD11 will outrun it in that regard. I would get the trans and engine calibrations checked it should run better than the manual trans trucks in town for sure. If you swap to a manual you will have to reprogram the ecm, and if you want it to run the same speed as the others change the gears, allisons are true double OD your looking at a .67 6th gear that is gonna have a rear somewhere in the 5's if I had to guess which means with the .74 in that 8LL your gonna be geared way low the allison has a 4.70:1 forst the 8LL has a 14.56:1 your looking at second gear being the equivalent to your first now, then topping out about 55 mph at 1800rpm. I say something is wrong somewhere it should run great stop and go, and with the engine brake on it should go into lockup and drop gears to keep the rpm up you should be able to stop it without much brake pedal at all. I would take it to a Mack dealer and have them check the claibration and look for updates on the engine, you can have them set the shift points where you want em and with an aset they should be around 1600-1700 to keep it in a pull, also check for boost leaks in the intake system. just me I doubt its running right if its that bad in stop and go I never could keep up with the automatics here and my Granite was turned up quite a bit, obviously I could get em after we were up to about 40 then I had better gear steps but thru town it was no contest.
  19. Dudes gotta be playing for the other team.
  20. Anybody else notice you can see her g string thru that catsuit? I got no idea how that kid managed to look her in the eye id be talking to her tits, maybe she wouldn't notice until I went in for a lick. Did I type that outloud!
  21. Not a clue on price but the number is in my phone......Dale Francis engineering 440-254-4046.
  22. Was that self inflicted after the results came in?
  23. Or Fred from you know what movie!
  24. Time to move!
