joes mack

not that i know of

yes they bought it. they used it for about 8 years sanded it down and primered it but never finished repainting it. then upper cloverfork ceased operation as a fire dept. it is now opened back up under cloverfork vol fire dept and they hauled it off to the scrap yard.

would anyone have a switch panel that goes on top of the dog house we are in need of one for one of our fire trucks.

sad to say this truck was sold to a scrap yard less than 6 months ago.

All 4 macks we have has the same pump on them. 1976 through 1987.

thanks guys i have never had any dealings with 2 stroke detroits until we got the last two trucks and one is a 6 and the newest to us is a 8 both seem to be good engines.

i use 15-40 delo 400 oil in all of our trucks. mack, cat, and the detroits.

what should the oil psi be on a 8v92 fresh oil and filter change about 20 hours ago when the truck is cold it shows about 60 psi at idle when it warms up it shows about 10 psi at idle when driving it shows about 80 cold and 35-40 when its at operating temp. when i let off the throttle to stop the low oil psi alarm goes off for a second and oil psi is about 5 psi.

do you have to add antifreeze to the truck. and or do you haul in wet areas or go through truck wash.

the pump has for sure been upgraded we had it pump tested last friday during our anual test on our trucks and it passed with flying colors 1500 gpm. we have been told it has a 2,000 gal a 2,200 gal and a 2,800 gal tank. pierce couldn't give me any info except it was refurbed for somers.

We were donated a truck that was originally from sommers fire dept in weschester county ny. it started as a 1979 Oren and in 1991 was sent to pierce and refurbished with a new cab and body. this truck went to greenville TN area and mcdonald fire dept donated it to us. this is all we know about the truck it has a 8v-92 detroit and a 4 speed allison auto. 1500 g.p.m. waterous pump. i know its not a mack but i figured some of the members on here would know something about this truck. thank you in advance. joe

wiring harness issue or faulty sensor could also be bad cables from batt i drove a 2012 that had a bad cable on the ground side it would make the truck do all different crap.

before you get too deep into thought check the speed sensor the company I work for had a engine do almost the exact same thing. new turbo injectors after cooler still did the same thing. changed the speed sensor on a tip from another mechanic and it went from 12/15 psi boost to 32/35 psi and will keep pulling like a mad dog. I hope this helps your problem and will save you a few headaches. joe

the truck is located in Harlan county ky at Yocum creek vol fire dept contact chief joe wynn at 606-505-9082 the truck has the 260 engine and a 5 speed trans.

We have a 1974 CF Mack pirsch 100 ft ladder truck for sale we got the truck about 3 months ago and can not use it in our area because it is too big she is 37 feet long. the truck orig was owned by river forest il. she seems to be a good solid old truck with the last ladder cert in 2017. she has a 1,000 gpm waterious pump. the dept we got it from retired her in 2018 when they got a newer ladder. if anyone is interested we are asking $3,500
