    M52A1 top radiator shroud unique to MACK ??

    It is a standard part of the cooling air management system. Goes along the top of the radiator to seal to the hood. Above suggestions for replacement flap are excellent. Do not leave it off it makes a difference.

    20,000lb wrecker winch shear pins

    All of the above is good advice, that is a lot of weight on the front of a 2-1/2. But you said it works fine, just be mindful of over taking the front springs. Just curious, there is no rope on the winder in the picture, how is it routed?

    Tongue Weight?

    Tongue weight is listed to be 10% of total trailer weight. You can go to 15% but transportation guidance does not recommend it. Best I recall a 105 has a fully laden weight of about 6000#. That equates to 600# of tongue weight, without adding load to the tongue. This does not sound like a...

    Time growth short (are we there yet?) Open for any and all suggestions/thoughts on the trail rides. Like Clinto said, it is NOT a structured event, ride, visit, sleep, get stuck, you name it, the point is to be a part of the SSGR and ENJOY yourself. Please PM me with any trail ride suggestions...

    20,000lb wrecker winch shear pins

    When you can get more and better pictures there are many resources on this site that can assist. That appears to be a 20k winch, but to make it work on a 2-1/2 will require some........ingenuity.... been done before just not sure about mounting it high like that. Rope clearance might be an...

    395 or 1400 on 818 for pulling and height issues

    To get speed, you will have to have height, or gear. The speed is what it is. You can go to a deeper overdrive, or locate some higher speed axle gears, or taller tires. Tsaller tires will hurt your ability to pull, but if power is not an issue the why care. You picl, tippy and fast or stable...

    a1 vs a2?

    Correct, the A1 was the 427 and had the overdrive transmission. The A2 is the 465. The gasser has the 1:1 transmission with the NORMAL shift pattern not the reversed 4/5. Best I recall all A1's were converted gassers, not sure they ever built an A1. A2's were the gold standard and made that...

    Need a Sprag Expert

    Based on the location of the adjustment, I would say that underneath would work just fine. What little I know about the 2-1/2 ton sprag though says you may have a broken unit, if it moves both forward and backward. Did you confirm that the front propeller shaft is turning when you turned the...

    ENDT 673 Mack engine miss diagnosis/repair

    AMGeneral I can confirm that the reduction in zinc (ZDP component) in the newer oils is taking a severe toll on the older engines with sharp profile cams. The 6602 has the same problem. I will check at work, I believe that I have a listing of oils that still maintain high zinc levels just for...

    PNW vs. GA Rally entertainment Challenge!

    You have GOT to be kidding, the Georgia boys (and guilty associates) with a pretty girl and FIRE at the same time, no way the state could deal with those consequences. What are you thinking, just the fire water that trickles in is a major hazmat issue..................................:shock:

    Deuce moving disabled M816

    A Pete tractor weighs half what the 816 weighs and does not scrub rears. Why was it illegal? Like you said, you did with what you had. No harm no foul......
