The Mack Is Back!! It sounds insane. These Trucks Are So Underrated

[@GTLees]

The Mack reminded me of one of my own experiences. Years ago I had a Mack CH 613 with an E 427 in it. Over weekend at home I put a straight pipe on and went back to work on Monday. It sounded much better but I didn’t realize anyone else could notice. That was until I was haulin a load of cars over a hill (in the hammer lane) and a driver I had passed came over the radio, “When did the Air Force start haulin cars? Haaahaha! Made my day.

[@vaporghost5230]

My Granpa drove Mack Trucks in the 60's 70's and 80's he loved Mack Trucks..They called him 3 ARM JAKE .. He had a Perfect Safety Record when he had to retire on a Medical . He was a Good Man we Miss Him !

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

Those MP8 D13 engines are know for injector sleeve problems and volvo has redesign the sleeves and the tooling required to install them and they have released revised procedures. I have seen people have failures multiple times and it was due to not using the correct tooling or procedures for installing the sleeves. Volvo also has a specified sealing compound to be used when installing the sleeves. There is numerous service bulletins released by Volvo.

Where one truck goes any other truck could go . Unless your the best truck driver out there because everything you own and do is always the best

Hey Tim you can get solder pellets at Napa whatever size cable your working with 2/0 throw the pellet in the terminal shove cable while heating till it’s home makes it a little bit easier, and ensures your getting the terminal completely full of solder

[@rogerb4436]

Damm that Brice guy is a great worker. Like watching him do his stuff and the dad looks like he knows his stuff. Had many truck mechanics that are so dence I think they only just scraped pass training.

[@southwestiowacattlefeeding6720]

You can buy the solder in plug form and just put the plug in heat it up and put the wire in. The plug is the right amount of solder for each size of wire ends. You need a 8" or 10" stack on it .

[@nathanwoten6236]

I just commented the same thing basically before I read your comment.

[@danwilliams6830]

If you buy copper tubing instead of the cable ends. Flatten the copper tubing on the end drill the hole you need then cut it off you can make end for cheap.

[@patrickbrewer5750]

Gods way to end a weekend!

[@joeysimpson4020]

We’ve been doing this for years at work. Good old school learned and also open minded mechanics know this

[@matthewthomas7648]

Mine is a 2016 chu 613 mack pinnacle . I have an MP8 motor with twin 8in stacks 😊

[@XLoad3d]

gotta spray the terminals and inbetween the connections with battery terminal protector CRC red spray. Ever since I used that there's zero corrosion because it sucks having to go through those terminals every 6 months or so and clean them with a wire brush.

[@timothymilam732]

Use dielectric grease on all the post and nuts to keep moisture, and air off of them, and you'll definitely reduce the times you have bad connections due to corrosion getting in between the post and your lugs. Are just axle grease, but keeping the air off them is the key to stopping them from even starting to get corroded

[@NeilMaclachlan]

It does sound like a jet lol...awesome though...Glad your busy...you deserve it... after all your work etc....stay safe you all

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

GOOD TO SEE AN OLD MACK BACK

Sounds great!!!! Wife and I saw the little convertible S-10 at Walmart yesterday. I told the wife omg I haven’t seen one of those in years.

[@ethanshamblin-qm6yb]

Welcome to Kentucky I'm on my way back there hope you have a good time there you fine loots of cool stuff there to give you a heads up 🤙

[@harlandmcnall2579]

Take it from a plumber that has soldered for 30 years if you put the solder in water before the solder solidifies at least you can make the solder cool to fast and create cracks in the solder it will also jump out of the joint and you will find it in the bottom of your solder bucket it's a a matter of waiting a few seconds or compromising the joint

[@maxpuppy96]

I soldered for years too and your right, when I do battery ends I put the eyelet in the vice and heat in the vice put the solder in then hold the wire until it setups. Never used water.

[@markulrich8898]

Hay Tim on a previous video. you came to Canada.....Drove past me on your way to Lakefield. Words of advice.....Don't send a truck with straight pipes or one that smokes to Ontario. Like California we have Emission standards and that could have your truck taken off the road/impounded. So so strict they have people who drive around looking for infractions( Fresh Air Cops) LOL

[@roaddawgrobbaker6644]

We need a LTL 9000 on the channel i love them fords

[@glenstover8748]

Any video is better than none

[@ShawnR718]

Glad to see y’all’s continued good luck y’all stay safe out there and keep it shiny side up

[@birdmandan7077]

Man you need to silver solder it is a purer solder! We did the same procedure 40 years ago but with silver solder not resin solder. Then again we did a lot of crazy stuff. We use to rebuild our own batteries! Changed plates, lead solder or lead weld with the torches. Good times back then!!! Straight piped my 95 Mack CH613 and installed over sized injectors. Was complimented many times on the macks exhaust.

[@DLRoss-de8vw]

Napa sells solder pellets just for those ends. We use alot of them and have had great luck.

[@charlesroer972]

NAPA sells a spray on battery post and connector protector , kinda greasy with baking soda in suspension . Keeps cable ends like new clean em and assemble then spray . Do this once a year problem goes away . Put on P.M. list for annual service !

[@vaporghost5230]

I do my cables a little bit different . First a good cold weld hydraulic crimp where the lug tapers I drill a 1/8" hole put a few drops of Electrical Flux in then dunk it all the way in solder pot till it stops bubblen pull it out let it cool wile dipping other cables.. You get a strong Mechanical and Eletrical bond that keeps the acid and corrosion out. Then heat shrink them when they cool.. Not saying anyone is wrong . This the way I was taught to do it buy some old school shoot out guys.. Rob is a Smart Guy . More Ground and Shorter Hot wires is allways better

[@stephengasper3027]

Me tooo

[@clifftonarnold6989]

I used to drive a 2014 Mack with a 455 mp8 and an mdrive, and that truck was a straight up hot rod. Would damn near carry a steer tire through the intersection from a stop. I loved those trucks.

[@glenstover8748]

Just get a fifth wheel underlift.. for towing.. can put it on any truck

[@fabiansalazar6050]

Hello guys y’all have a blessed week❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@howardjacobs1325]

I like it with the straight pipe sounds awesome 😊

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Yes sir we used to melt the copper and do it that way growing up. I was about 9 maybe 11 when my dad showed me it and it will never go bad

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Good evening y'all

[@P-J-W-777]

Mack sound good. It deserves some big 8” dual stacks now lol.

[@danmacintosh4094]

I would put the cable ends in the vice just incase the solder overflows and drips on your hand. You can also use solder slugs just put them in the cable end heat until melted then stick the cable in.

[@HurleyLawn94]

Mack trucks are hard to beat. They just work

[@KC1CPA]

Hey now thats cool there is a screwdriver antenna on that mack. Kor those that dont know it an antenna used for amature raido.

[@adamhogeland8033]

Love the beautiful sound from the mack definitely need to have stacks in the future man Love to Hear the turbo

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Love the Coronado its a beautiful truck.

[@robertbarkey3194]

You need to Buy a pair of Battery Cable Cutting Pliers n they work Great n Faster n keep with Cable together so it's only used for cable

Could it be I saw this truck in outskirts west of Montreal tonight at 6:45pm? I was coming off a bridge in construction on hwy 40. I spotted the Gentry and sons trucking.

Drove an E9 truck in the 90's that was straight piped with 6 inch pipes that stopped just above the cab. That thing made some noise when you hit the jake on her.

[@alexmikhael5061]

5:46 hey TIM .... useing a pair of vice grips snapped onto that piece you welding will keep better controll ofit if it slips... just a thought passin thru my head ;) HAVE A GREAT ONE!

[@kitsunedarkfire2915]

They actually sell slugs of solder specifically for that purpose. Might look into that Tim.

Hi Tim Gentry and Sons

[@ctown6971]

What ever happend with that rebuild kit with the special pistons and other part that was supposed to revaluationize the older motors pass the outrageous emissions requirements?

[@6181green]

I have been wondering about the dimpled pistons as well 👍

[@vaporghost5230]

Yeah I wonder what happend with the Speed of Air Piston Test.. I would like to see how they work in real world conditions . It works on Golf Balls will it work with a Piston ?

More B.S. as usual guy's, wake up.

[@darrencatenacci2737]

[@idasedin4626]

Not sure if there is any engine with those pistons, the block to be used was dd2 and does not work with newer Icm which must be used to get fuel economy.

Tim here in montana, your roads are easy compared to our back roads. No disrespect, but when you haul out of mountain roads in the winter, hang on to your ass. Love your videos and have watched for years. You are welcome here any day.

[@cods86ranger]

Timmy I take my battery cables one step further and I also use a hydraulic crimper

[@alexmikhael5061]

9:46 hey TIM... during the TWSTIN AND FORMING STAGE... maybe might be a good idea to plop a little big of SOLDERING FLUX down into the connector so it gets all up in there during that stage... and try to use the connector to do the twsiting, less oils on it more connectin it will be able to do? that kinda thing :) ONLY think I would prolly see about tryin to do is HEAT UP THE WIRE a tad bit before inserting... if you have another set of handd... NOT DIRECTLY IN THE FIRE, up above it to WARM IT UP not realy HOT ENUF to melt solder, but to help it flo no better, maybe if it needs it for EVEN MO BETTER CONECTIONs ... (like a few years down the road you notice corrosion where it should be all soldered in there? sompin like that pops into da head) BUT MIND THE INSOLUTION .... prolly should use some of that HEAT SHRINK with the GOO IN IT to make a ''weatherproof'' connection for the ''perfect look'' .....

[@alexmikhael5061]

oh heat shrink goin on ;) LOL RIGHT ON!

[@VinceDorval]

to be honest id paint the truck grey charcoal and rhino black trims and polished wheels and maybe some chino cut stacks, would deff be sick on this truck

[@huggy1712]

Hi Tim I think you need a tow truck but if It was up to me I would look at a D.T.U. That you can take it off when not needed plus you are not tying up one truck it may sit in the yard till you need it take care have fun
