ChesterChop Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I have a 1987 Superliner with a E9 400. Its a dump truck. Somedays I idle a lot and I'm always in the dust. I have asked around and have heard between 4000 to 12000 miles in between filter and oil changes. I'm going to put an hour meter on the truck and service off of that. How many hours should I go between service? Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) I believe, for your 'service' 150 hours is the interval. with grease every 75 hours. 300 hrs for oil and 150 for grease may even be closer to what you need for your ' service application' I will go to my book's and see if I can send a picture... jojo Edited March 11, 2022 by Joey Mack 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-491628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Specially in dust! if you have an under the hood air cleaner you need to monitor this every service as well the turbo moves alot of air during a day these clog up quickly! If you got dual outside cleaners its not as bad! 300 hrs is my go to on a dump!

85snowdog Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I can't really add anything here. But looking through my Lub and maintenance book there is a note at the bottom of one of the pages that I think should apply to your E9. Its about an air filter element for the compressor . My book is from 1986. 1 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-491649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterChop Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Thanks. There's a filter under the frame behind the cab about the size of a car oil filter. Is that the one they are referring to?

Joey Mack Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 do you have a 12 spd? thats an air filter for the tranny ..jojo 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-491752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterChop Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yes. That's probably what it is. I've seen it on other Mack's that weren't V8's. Any idea where the compressor filter is?

Popular Post Joey Mack Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 if you dont have a small shitty filter clipped to the compressor, it should be getting its air from the intake manifold via a copper pipe.. I hope Im right, the E-6 gets it off the manifold around the back of the engine to the compressor... dammit... i was thinkin I knew the answer... jojo 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-491767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I looked through that maintenance manual , it had no info on it other than what I posted. So I went to an even older maintenance manual. I was able to find this . Its interesting to me because I have only seen a couple V8 Macks in my life so I had no idea they had that clip on air filter. My International S series has the same one . I actually didn't know it was supposed to be changed at every oil change . 1 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-491789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterChop Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Thank you. I was unaware of this filter. The information I've gotten from this page has been invaluable.

I had been doing comercial inspections for the last 10 years If I spot these on older vehicles I usually ask the customer to let me at least inspect them! slot of older units use these! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-491799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterChop Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 I found it on there. I don't imagine it's been changed for quite a while. I'll see if I can get one from mack. Mine is pretty grimy on the outside and I'll have to clean it up . Judging from the picture in the manual I'm guessing you pry that band a little to get that cover off? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-491978 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterChop Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thanks I'll check them. The numbers were worn off most of the filters so I went through mack to make sure I got the right ones. They never mentioned this air compressor filter. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-491984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 This is the filter my international takes. I never thought, but I could measure its width, depth for you . If its the same size you could cross the Kralinator number over to Napa . Thanks for telling us the filter was there. I was really curious myself.

Joey Mack Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think thickness would be the difference. I found that out on a 2 stroke Detroit last year, still an easy filter to get by using demensions if the part number is gone, jojo 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-492012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Just for fun, the dimensions of the air filter on my 1987 International ...... Overall width - 3 inches Diameter of inside hole - 1 3/8 inches Thickness - 1 3/8 inches Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69356-service-intervals/#findComment-492027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlleyKat Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 No. I was working on my truck today and snapped a picture so I would remember to pick one up next time at NAPA. It my mobile parts list.
