Adam Thomas Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Greetings to all! Our fire department has just purchased a 1987 Mack CF and we were coming home with it and due to the former departments lack of interest in maintaining proper upkeep on the truck the rear end went out. It had no oil in it. So we are now looking for a rear end for it. I will enclose the part number and series as well as the ratio for it. If anyone out there has one that they are willing to sell or donate we are in despirate need for one. We currently have an operating budget of only 2,500.00 per year and will have to have it repaired used. Thanks for any help or knowledge.Series: CRD1171 VIN 1M2A152C6HMOO1188Part Number: 11KH4167BP12Ratio: 4.88Make: MackModel: CF 688FCYear :1987Rear End has Disc Brakes, and is 6 spoke. 10 X 22.5 tiresTHIS TRUCK CAME FROM North Caldwell in Essex County.My email is athomas0148@kctcs.edu Edited December 16, 2012 by athomas0148 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28864-need-rear-end-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Given the number of CF's in your county it might be wise to start looking for a donor truck to share among the departments. They come up on govdeals.com pretty regularly. You may even luck out and find a better off VFD from another area willing to make a donation.Have you checked on availability and price of the rear at a Mack dealer?
