    Never been in a Mack before and my company just has 10 out of over 400 trucks...so shop isn't too savvy. I've had to replace a headlight which is a standard twist and pull out assembly. Now the left turn signal marker light is out (turn signal still blinks). I can't figure this one out...it looks like it has a push-to-release slot on side (can't see other side as its against the frame). Is that how I get to it? I don't want to mess it up. Thanks in advance for any help!

    I drive a pinnacle, not sure which bulb you're talking about, the one in the headlight bucket? or the one below the cab? If it's the one in the bucket, remove the backing cover, and yes it's a twist and pull, they can be a bit of a bugger to remove. If it's the one below the cab, IIRC, those are permanent and require replacing the whole unit.

    Yes, it's the one next to the headlight. I'll give it a shot. Like I say, didn't want to screw or pull the wrong way...I'm good for that!

    when you reinstall it, put a dab of grease on the bulb base before locking it in, and a dab on the base before twist and lock so it comes apart easier next time. As an FYI, if the company will let you, and this is an assigned tractor, replace them with LED's, they will last longer.
