Mark from OZ Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 When putting an extra air cleaner make sure you put the stiffner plate on the insidethey tuck inside the door pillar or it will crack the panel . Seen it happen a few times. The air cleaner and bracket are heavy..........

Did the "valueliner" come with duel breathers? is it the same cab as our "RB"?

Rob Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 hello! thanks for the reminder I probibly would have only put body washers on the inside, not a plate. Did the "valueliner" come with duel breathers? is it the same cab as our "RB"?Don't use fender or body washers alone but rather use the full size plate as recommended. The cowl panels on the trucks are a one piece stamping and only .030 thickness. They will crack easily with the vibration and weight hanging on it. My 74 RL700 has the plate for an external mounted Luberfiner filter and is bolted through the cowl panel although the truck never had the filter. My Cat powered RL700 does have the external Luberfiner and the plate is the same on both trucks.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Mark from OZ Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 The value liners here in OZ only had 1 aircleaner on the RHSI have seen the econodyne's here fitted with 2 aircleaners I bought the kit to do mine even had the air tube to connect into the existing systembut i sold it before........The inside plate is easy to miss. You have to look to see it.They are hard to get out of a wrecked cab as you have to bend it to get it out and realy hard to put back in. It is a strange shape thing that fits inside the door pillar in a U shape that's where it gets it's srength as it is bolted inside. I could never find one in the parts book.......Mark Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/11874-duel-air-cleaners/#findComment-45945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the air cleaner scoop, is that factory?hey its a 2000, etech 460, rtlo 18, 44's(4.35), it had daytons on the lift and drives when I got it, I changed over to hub pilot, alum tanks, dual batt. boxes. the turbo is a garret and inj's are Rochester fuel stage II, complete 5" exhaust from the turbo back to twin high flow donaldson 10" mufflers(that took some serious though, but well worth it). most likly gonna instal (coolingmist) water inj this spring. custom interior with all stew warner gauges, 400 watt 10" sub under pass. seat. the scoop is donaldson 8" air ram, when I put left hand breather on I will have scoop aswell. the scoop has been on back order for a month and half, so if any buddy has an 8" air ram they dont want I will buy it! I do all my own work I did my apprenticeship at the local mack dealership.

He peeled it off about 2yrs ago and just parked the truck , not enough local work down here then and the 6 axle dump trailer rates running down east for them just plain sucked, wouldn't barely cover fuel or maintainance let alone wages. His buddy down here is still on with them though, maybe things have improved a little, I see he has a different tractor now.

I've got to do the same with two of my trucks as I want dual air cleaners too.Thanks,RobOK so I've made the bracket, got the air cleaner, bought the clamp rings(258$ APEICE!!) got the left and right fenders off. had to take right off to mimic the cut-out on the left. still need to make stiffner plate, and get alum. pipe for under hood. Im guessing I should make a 45deg or a radius facing forward, where the pipe will join in with the other? james Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/11874-duel-air-cleaners/#findComment-52292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they part of the hood assembly that would tilt with the hood? Maybe your truck has lower fenders like a couple of mine?Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Actually the only one I've been next to was Herb's when up at his place. I thought you meant like a steel hood truck with the fenders, but I knew yours was glass.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
