Are the top pads on backwards ? -
How bad is the rest of it,any more pictures,what are u gonna use it for,that crack is due to rust spreading the flange not stress or fatigue,seen way worse than that still working ..
-
I didn't see any trucks like that where we were,all looked like factory dumps,Fords,KW t-800,and Macks,a lot of them fairly new,must be more to it than meets the eye,operating cost are not all that different than any where else except for labor..
-
If remember right the company doing the work was Eastman,does that sound familiar ?
-
I was at Hollywood beach,couldn't talk to any drivers,the trucks looked like they were in nice shape,all tri axle with 16 foot body's by 6 foot high,foreman said they were running twenty ton loads,he also sad a lot f them run double shifts,it was like a parade of trucks on south surf road all day long..
-
Just curious,what's wrong with the paint Mack sells with the harder,had a truck painted with it once and the painter added a different hardner,it was a super wet look hardner,that truck had a killer shine on it for many years with very little maintness..

My wife and I just got a German Shepherd pup last week she is wearing us out quickly lol but not chewing up anything yet..

Any chance you have anything left? -
Any body have or know where I can get the muffler support bracket for a 96 Mack Cl,I was a old the left and right brackets are the same,so either one..
-
While on vacation checked out this operation down the beach,all the sand is trucked in,no dredging allowed down here,talked to the foreman about the trucks,mostly all on hire,they run about 20 to 21.5 tons a load,pay is 50 to 56 an hour,how the he'll do u run a truck for those rates,all good looking equipment some pretty new to.
-
Ok thanks for the info.
-
Does anyone even do this any more,is this a DYS thing or for pros only?
-
Look on line, like Iowa 80 has free flow mufflers the chrome or stainless are pricy but the plain Janes are pretty reasonable ..
-
Ok I got ya now,just had it in my head the internal adjustment would move the linkage also,thanks for the clarification..
-
Also I wanted to say the reason for the internal adjustment is to get 1/2 inch to 9/16 inch between the brake and throw out. Bearing witch they say you must maintain for full clutch release.
-
Not arguing but,if adjust the linkage first then internally you will be moving the bearing witch will change the linkage adjustment you just made,thoughts ?
-
Got that right,an 1/8 of play = about an inch and half pedal movement by my uneducated calculations..
-
Adjust internally first to get 1/2 inch to 9/16 inch between clutch brake and throw out bearing,if this doesn't bring your brake into adjustment and corect free pedal make linkage adjustment,you can adjust at the lever if u want by turning the Clevis,I was just having a problem and found the Clevis pin worn out and needed a bushing in the clutch arm,good luck
-
Just a follow up, the bushing in clutch arm was missing or just worn out and he pin was worn real bad,way to much play,that's why I was having trouble adjusting it..
-
Ok thanks didn't know there was key in. It,thought just a set bolt.
-
Thanks,how difficult would u say,once the two set bolts are out should slide off the pins right,the side with the lever should pull right out I think?
-
Anybody swap out the release fork while Trans is In the truck,Mack twelve speed?
-
Well if you live in NYS you don't have much choice ,66 here and still going strong,but I like to work,maybe I'll just try to slowi it down a little next year..
