It's too bad there aren't more pictures of the classic/antique trucks. It would be great if there were some "vintage" pictures.

I can't look it up by VIN. If you can get the 11GB engine number off of the tag I may be able to find it that way though.

What does it say about me that I was able to understand "Tenjoberrymuds" without reading the dialog? I've been saving this one up, but I just can't bear it anymore. Here's a picture of the PROPER way to wink at an illegal alien

Hmmmm, now what does the map say about that area just to the west of the Wastelands? Can't quite seem to make out what it says....

....we meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master.

I misunderstood....I was thinking more along the lines of big game taxidermy. I still stand by my earlier statement though, I don't know if there is anyone domestically that would be interested in stuffing that critter.

Here is a link to some nice high resolution images of Mack Trucks old and new. http://www.mackmediabank.com/login.aspx The username and password are both journalist. This site can also be accessed from the Mack Trucks website, and as far as I know is intended for public use. There are some really neat pictures here of several variants of the L and B models as well as some very nice pictures of Granites and Titans.

I wouldn't think so. It seems that a beast of such size would not be suitable for mounting. rhasler, undergraduate of the otherdog school of photo-tampering

The way I understood it, it was Spot that took that critter down, even chewed off the feet so she couldn't get away!

Ah, a rare photo of the North American Water Buffalo in it's native habitat.

You need new u-joints if the tops broke off of the bearing caps. If you can get a heavy duty u-joint press that's the easiest way. Lots of P B'Laster helps.

I think that's a typo. A 1998 chassis ought to have an E-Tech engine. The E6 was probably retired sometime mid 1989, maybe a bit later.

Here's a recent press release from Mack United States Marine Corps Taps Mack GREENSBORO, NC, (October 21, 2010) – The Mack Military Group within Mack Trucks, Inc. was recently awarded a contract in support of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Buffalo A1 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. The contract calls for remanufactured engines and new transfer cases to be used in Buffalo MRAP repair and reset efforts. “At the heart of every Buffalo A1 is a Mack truck,” said Ryan Werling, director of defense sales and programs for the Mack Military Group. “Nearly the entire powertrain, electronic architecture, and cab interior are derived from our rugged vehicles and are a true testament to the durability of our products. With the Marine Corps being a major owner and user of Buffalo A1s, we are committed to supporting them in any way we can.” Deliveries will start later this year and continue through the first quarter of 2011. The total value of the contract is approximately $1.3 million. CAPTION: The Mack Military Group within Mack Trucks, Inc. was recently awarded a contract for both remanufactured engines and new transfer cases in support of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Buffalo A1 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle.

Usually the lead on the Powerleash brake solenoid gets pinched and sets the code. If it shorts out against the head or valve train components the EECU will pump too much current through the wire and burn out the circuit for the engine brake (you end up with the engine brake operating on one head only). Pretty easy to replace the solenoid. Fix it ASAP so you don't have to buy a new EECU.

That one was built with E6-350, TRTXL1070B 12 speed transmission, and 4.17 92/93 series rear axles.

I know where the last one went, just not where it is now.

Early on in the transition from Low Sulfur Diesel to Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel there were frequent problems with these type of issues due to inadequate care being taken when refueling. Additionally, ULSD fuel is more prone to contamination by microbial growth. One maintanence item often overlooked when changing fuel filters on the MP series engines is that they should NOT be filled prior to installing them. Instead they should be installed dry and primed with the fuel system hand priming pump on the filter housing. Priming the filters in this way ensures that all of the fuel going through them is cleaned before entering the engine. Best of luck to you.

Should just be locking the rocker shaft to the front mounting bracket.

The intake and exhaust valves on the same cylinder are adjusted at the same time. When VS pointer and mark 1-6 on the dampner is lined up and number one cylinder is due for adjustment (pushrods will be lower in their bores than the pushrods in number 6) you will adjust both valves on cylinder number 1. A dynatard will have a solenoid in the rocker shaft towards the center pair of rocker arms. The electrical connections should come from the right side of the engine just above the exhaust manifold. The lash adjusters on the Dynatard exhaust rockers have a larger jam nut than the non-Dynatard rockers.

The E7 mechanical engines were officially retired as of March 1, 1998
