    It depends. If you have a Mack MS 300 the number one cylinder is at the back.
    JP's answer is about 99.99% correct.

    Good to know. I was not aware of that. Hope I never need that info however.


    Had to go look. Thats the midliner Renault? Only worked on a few of those trucks. What a pile they were.
