    i tried some google searching and couldnt find anything. but why would the brake set up from a mack axle not work on 5 tn rockwell? its been 2o yrs since i wrenched on big truck, and only did that for about 8 months, but if men serves me correct, the r and rd model mack axles look the same as...

    Manual 5 Ton?

    from reading through some other threads in the mod section, that seems to be the norm, compared to the 800 series. both models have their pros/cons. once i get back south, and get them home, ill climb under 1 and see what/where things mate up, and if i can find a 923a2 or similar in my area, ill...

    Wreckers: Do people buy them for hobby or use?

    Manual 5 Ton?

    if its fits in a 923a2, would it be silly and or impractical to think it would fit in the 936a2? yes, they are NOT the same truck, but plenty of similar or exact features/parts in the drivetrain, that would lead me think something other than a dang auto would work in the a2 wrecker. lukes, the...

    Manual 5 Ton?

    would say going from the 6 spd auto to a 10 or 12 spd manual also allow for faster mph with less rpm, or is the mph almost certainly controlled by the axle ratio? I'm not a fan of autos in anything bigger than a 1tn tck

    complete 24v to 12v conversion

    and i HATE gremlins. my dad was the sparky of the family, i am the mech/fabricator. i truly wish i would have learned the spark side of the mechanics and learned everything i could before he passed. i can wire a house, but i can't do automotive wiring, nor aircraft wiring, and my aircraft has a...

    complete 24v to 12v conversion

    I did use the search function, but couldn't find anything within the realm of my inquiry. If it has been posted already, i missed it and sorry to bring up the "beating a dead horse" topic. I was contacted by a local wrecker company and he changed his mind and offered to sell me 2 936A2...
