DMorgan Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hello everybody, I just tore apart a Mack B-753 "LS" truck with an ENDLT 673 engine and aTriplex transmission. What I was wondering was is how good of a set up were they? Would it be worth going through and rebuilding the engine and transmission or would it be better to put in a Cummins and a 10 speed?Any input would be appreciated, Thanks, daniel Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12539-endlt-673-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most replacement parts are now obsolete and you would probably be better off replacing with a later model "Maxidyne" series engine if staying with a Mack power unit. The transmission was a good unit that would render excellent service if maintained and not abused.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

DMorgan Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Rob, Thanks for your input. I did find a place with injectors and a few other parts. They were pretty expensive but if someone really needed them you could get them. also where abouts in Bakersfield are you? And whats you phone number? I'll give you a call sometime. We might be interested in your engine and transmission.

Rob Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 rob, i just realised i got you mixed up with a different guy that I'd been talking to about the 673. Sorry. DanielThat's alright. I'm sure the engine you are conversing about is a good unit as we've spoken several times and it is just underpowered for the expected application. No other known problems.Good luck with your project.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
