Brandonducherer Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hey guys, need your help with this project. I have a 1996 CL713 which the cab is rusted right out and the doors wont close right. I have taken it off and bought a 2001 cab CL713 cab in great shape which was hooked to the exact same motor. Now, the plugs on the 01 are round, the old cab are square. I have all the wiring harness's for the lights and everything, just missing the engine harness which is $2000 from mack and Im not even sure if that'll get me going?? Am I better off getting a 1996 Cab so I can just plug and go? Or use a new wiring harness if even possible? p/n# 42MR5397CM. What have I done??

Popular Post GreenGiant2 Posted March 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2015 Go with the old harness and switch in the cab. A member on here does that. A good full days work. But then every thing will be the same 3 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.

Brandonducherer Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks @GreenGaint2, I was wondering if that was an option. I'll put the 2 side by side and check them out.

br549 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The 1996 engine should be a VMAC 1 or 2, and the 2001 should have been a VMAC, Like GreenGiant2 said you need to go with the harness in the old cab.

farmer52 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Make sure you transfer your original (old) VIN to the "new" cab.

Brandonducherer Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hey guys, Everything switched over, the head lights stay on all the time but that is no biggie, she starts and runs good, evrything works just need to run a few more airlines. Can anyone tell me where where to run the air lines from the yellow button to get the brakes to release? Thanks!
