no hairs split at all mate................lol.......only log's

hey grant just go to paganellie's mate they should be able to help.or ring VMC in brisbane they have a mack guru working there nuff said.

no ballrace on the jinker mate........and as for you pintle hook theory, very unlikely but not unheard of.this truck was in tasmania not america guys we cart and process our timber compleatley diffrent to our american cousins so i.e. no extra length in the chassie, no pintle hook this truck may have had a earley elphingstone jinker on it but i got a feeling i wasnt on logs very long, it may have had a old type ridged pole jinker or may not................before anyone jumps down my kneck i am a fourth generation logger so i no excactley what i am talking about and as a fact i am tasmanian.so i hope my imput has been helpfull and i suggest you guys look up elphingstone engineerings site in triabunna ,tasmania and learn a thing or two................cheers bryan

nice .............

dude i agree it seems to be a boost problem......but dont rule out a head gasket.

i think they meen your breather tube should be on left hand side..............

personally i think the poster has no idea what he wants either, go and by a peterbilt . if you cant tell how much diffrence is bettween a r700 and a mk 2 superdog then mate i refer you back too what i allready stated go and buy a peterbilt, this is not a negative response , even in australia there is no resale in old kenworths like you have its a 15,000 dollar truck ,i personally like your ride, now on the other hand a superliner sells between 40-70,000 dollars there is a bicentenial for sale at the moment asking price half a million dollars (and no this is not a missprint),you keep refering to A model i assume you mean a w900 A KENWORTH ,all in all its up too you but you seem to have some weird ideas mate..........my two cents...spud

got a couple here mate. im in WA ring me for info .0419 883 099 ,ask for bryan if i am not available ask my operations manager yves and he will foward your details on. cheers bryan.

thankyou very much ,i might be able to get this damn wiring sorted now. bryan

hi all ,i need a wiring diagram for headlight and marker lights for a 86 mh ultraliner ,400 e9 v8,ant help at all would be great cheers bryan.

sounds like a lot of oil has got into your air system mate! pour some metho in your wet tank and into your maxitorqe filters it should work .we had the same problem on a v8 valueliner "crook aircompressor" other than the first option the only other alternative is too take of your relay valves and clean them out.

why dont volvo just fess up to their dirty little secret....THEY DONT WANT MACK TRUCKS AROUND ANYMORE. they got what they wanted a increased share in the heavy truck market, its the same old story big corparate european money takes over everything. you know what we say SCREW VOLVO AND THE BOAT THEY CAME ON....... LONG LIVE MACK. SPUD

ozrad, the amount of money you are going to have to outlay too shorten that r-model will be huge ....... your better off just grinning and bearing it .i dont know what rates you guys are on over east but,i think at this stage of the game i would be probably bee looking for a shorter tipper body.

well you just made the statment that mack engines are being the tesr "whores' .well mate this is the reason most aussie operators i know are switching to other truck brands as the new mack/volvo product is utter shit.try and come up with all the excuses you like their new breed engines are rubbish . no good for aussie conditions at all. there all good if you spend 90 percent of the time on the tarmac . all i can say is thanks VOLVO for ruining another legendary brand... R.I.P REAL MACK TRUCKS.
