From the looks of your picture the gasket your talking about appears to be an exhaust gasket / duct to exhaust the air being pushed thru the intercooler fins from the tip turbine out of the engine compartment (should have nothing to due with lack of manifold pressure) I've added 2 pictures, one of what my 285 intercooler looks like, and a picture from my Mack service manual showing you how the air is directed thru the box. The air being supplied to the tip turbine is on the other side of the engine, from the looks of your picture the gasket your talking about apears to be on the drivers side? Its hard to tell from what you posted. If I'm correct and you still have no boost, your intercooler may be leaking or you might have a bad turbo. Keep us updated -Sean

The kid is a decent driver, for a minor LOL!

NICE

I agree with Randy WE WANT PICS!

Sounds like you had moisture in the tanks and now may have algae build up in the pump. Take off the fuel filters and cut them open, if they are black then thats a sign of algae. Drain your tanks at the sump on the bottom and I'll bet theres water in your fuel. If so, let the truck sit overnight, drain the tanks in the morning until only fuel comes out (water sits at the bottom) get 2 new filters, fill the filters half way with standyne additive then top them off with fuel and let it run, be sure to add stanadyne to the tanks as well and it might just fix it self...if not its off to the pump shop.

3 filter engine ESI plus...didnt really look at the turbo tube so that makes it an E6-260 (ETZ673) 260 HP I'm so used to calling them 285/300's same engine in my book

Haha! You aint kidding. If you keep walking you should make it there by 5:30 lol!

One never knows does one!

Low hole six speed with a 2 valve E6 300

Tell me about it lol!

I have a set of Blue Diamond forks for my skidsteer, I bought them at a Petrowsky Auction...pretty good stuff, I've lifted some heavy things with them...bent 2 set of Cat forks, the BD'S are holding up quite well

Well, all it needs is banding around it and I guess it would be considered "palletized"

Nice! He didnt want to unbolt it? Looks like he took the flame wrench to it and cut the chassis...I got one better for you, my guy was told to "take the engine out" of the steel nose RD and get it ready as per the guy who bought it was coming to pick it up...my cousing and I return to find the entire nose cut off the truck (with a torch) and the floor cut out so he could unbolt the bell housing. I guess I should have mentioned to him that we were going to be saving all the tin and the cab. Make a long story short, another Mack ended up being scrapped. If ya dont do it yourself id aint gonna git dun rite lol!

I've ran into a few like that, some people would rather let the trucks rot then see someone else get them

26300 new jobs to go along with those trucks...hopefully

Gotta love the heavy rears
