BucketTrucker688 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 i just installed in december a new tach cable on my 91 rd688s / e7..its been leaving a drip of oil here and there so i tightened the cable nut on the front of the motor and it didnt stop the drip. i went to look at it again and realized the nut was tight and the cable was able to pull right out. i then noticed the new tach cable i installed in december had a piece of sh!t plastic flared end that i think broke from vibration and had cracks in the bends of the cable. this cable from mack costs $84.00 and i would really rather not have to go through a few of these cables a year. the original cable i took off split and was leaking oil so i changed it out for a new one never realizing the new cable had a plastic flare rather than the metal on of the original. does anyone know if theres a different part number for one with metal end?
