Truck looks great. The one I drove had a spring seat for the driver. But my first day, I had to sit in the jump seat. IT WAS SOLID! Good for stomach muscles! Your route brought back memories. Kensington ave, Castor ave, the constant construction on I-95, Nj turnpike (with some of the most Ignorant drivers in the USA, in the truck lanes) Was surprised to hear it came with AC! Mine had the wing vents and floor vents. My jake never sounded that good. As for the heat, I tried to keep rolling or stop in the shade. I finally got to move up to a Vision and Granite.(made for AC, but none worked. So no vent windows or floor vents, but air seat) and a stupid plastic bumper. I don’t miss Philly at all. I quit driving and got a job loading and unloading trucks. A driver came in with a loaded pallet at the very front of a 48’. I told him I didn’t think I could reach it, and if I did, it might fall. He told me to go ahead. It fell and hit his corner fender. Ten years later, I’m at a car show and off to the side are some R model Mack’s. I told my buddy, this one looks familiar. Someone tapped me on my shoulder and said, you’re the one who damaged my truck!

Oh I've been waiting for this one. First truck I rode in was an 86 R .EM6 300 and 9 speed. My grandpa had 25 of em in the 90s. All of them were hot in the summer..really hot. Yours seems to run...well better then most. it's not just smoke and noise like some e-6s. It's snappy..and seems to pull well through the whole gear. As far as the ride...ours always had front end issues...especially running NYC and Perth Amboy etc ..they'd get tore up..but if your sure it's the cab...maybe too much air? Shocks Obviously...but for a long wheel base like yours has it should be better then most...maybe cab mounts? Haven't been around one in so long it's hard to remember if we had one like that. Can't wait to see more videos on this truck.

Man that Mack looks and sounds beautiful!! Great camera and sound work... and nice to see some old familiar turf; NJ TPKE, Frankford Ave. Good on you for scooping it up, and so clean... no doubt because of where you got it out in ND. Now I'm by no means a truck/Mack expert, but when it comes to managing heat coming off that engine into the cab maybe think about doing some of the same DIY low-buck tricks we apply to any performance engine to better manage heat bleed; - Turbo Blanket/Wrap - Wrapping manifolds, forward 3/4 end of the exhaust pipe - Can you fit an electric fan that kicks on when underhood temps reach a certain point If you're planning to get into cab structure and floor as you mentioned, think about applying heat shielding around and under the firewall and forward floor sections...??? I mean setup is strictly business...🤔 it's a Mack, ...a day cab, set up for heavy haul, so that combination isn't going to be too kind to your backside, and looks like you got a decent driver seat... but maybe there is something out there on the truck aftermarket that can be applied to the rear suspension setup on the tractor to control trailer whip/dampen lateral motion??

Nice video. Please get your clutch pedal and throttle switches back in your Dynatard circuit. Those circuits are pretty simple but it only takes one switch to be open and you get no retarder. Slow brake response can be caused by kinked, pinched or undersized air lines. Slow to apply and slow to release because the volume of air is restricted. Most common place I saw this was in tired trailer connection lines so make sure your hoses are good.
