Now for the 15, finally got it in the shop. All looks pretty good, took me a whole day to pressure wash it down, it was DIRTY. the few problems that i have to address first are a good fuel leak coming from around the secondary filter. i pulled it tonight and it seems to be a bad line but there is a braze on the can, may be that. the next issue is a good hydrulic leak. the leak is coming out of the top of the trans where the shuttle lever goes in. i know it is a terrible discription. i'm still trying to round up manuals so i can determine if its a seal or an o ring, hope its not too big of deal. the last bigger problem is the left steering clutch seems to be sticking or not engaging, not sure if its ajustment, seized or worn out. the manual will be a big help. Work has picked up and i spent most of my money on the mack so i guess i got to get back to work. right now septics and drive ways are big. still have some service to do on equipment to. so thats the scoop. Hope all is going good your way, give me a update. still need to give you a call. thanks jared Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12729-pic-of-15/page/2/#findComment-51386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
