farmer52 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 If it is a late model truck (1990 and newer), you can get the VRI (Vehicle Record Index) from your local dealer. This will provide you with arrangement numbers.If it is older you contact the Mack Museum. The Museum is the best place to get COMPLETE build info on your truck. The Museum does this free of charge but a donation is in order. http://www.macktrucks.com/default.aspx?pageid=40Neither one will provide specific part number info. To get individual part numbers, you will need to order a parts book from your local dealer however it is very expensive.http://www.macktrucks.com/default.aspx?pageid=449 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33906-general-mack-question/#findComment-221612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, you can email them. The contact info is on their website. They can send you the build sheet. It's invaluable information. It may not break everything down, but it ususally has enough detail to get you headed in the right direction. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Vladislav Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Little note - right at the moment Mack Museum has a waiting line for about one and half month.So keep it in mind, you'll need a time to get the record.

57 bcr Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 10-4 Randy about getting parts at Wal-Mart easier! We had a great parts guy at our local MACK dealer.They sold out, evidently he & others got ticked off,and left.Everybody suffers now.Really knew his stuff too.As long as you had a part #(for the old MACKS),he would do his best to get that part in your hands, ASAP!
