Do you trade trucks in or have a fleet of them , nice ride

Rfcdrum I'm not sure about the lines being crossed because the truck was on a job when this happened, however long story short there is a range valve to the passenger side of the trans that was leaking a bit of air. We put a new top plate on it from a new valve and also switched the shifter head so the lines were all switched.... Well .... After we traced the lines on one of our dm's to make sure they were all right on the problem truck (they were not) , we got them hooked up correctly and now that the range valve isn't leaking and the lines are correct it works like it should ... What a mess ..

No it doesnt have air controlled throttle, this truck i believe is a 98, shes all mechanical

Hello, i have a problem of a maxitorque 2080 just blowing air whenever trying to get it into high low or reverse? If you put the shifter in neutral it quits leaking air , but if you put it in high low or reverse it just blows air out of the valve on the drivers side of the transmission (which is a new valve) we replaced . it will not go into drive or reverse and everything in the shifter head is good . no bad o rings etc . have any of you had this problem ? Any help would be appreciated

Yes a rifle is considered a long gun .

The two dm's in my avatar one a 96 the other a 99 , are what I drive at work, I would rather drive the 96 with the mech engine ,just seems you can feel the power more with the mechanical engine ...

The first electronic engines in our rds start in 99 , the older ones even the 98 has a mechanical engine ... I like them better also

Nice lookin older Ho

I would not buy that to put to work , just my opinion .... It's a parts truck .... That's why it's setting where it is

That's one sweet. " rumble B "

Sweet ride , I'd like to have one just like it

Does look like one Mt. Carmel's trucks,doesn't it? The company I work for had a ton of those,as mixers.They got rid of them because too many guys were falling (not paying attention,I guess),while getting out of them,,,, DOH!!

Thats who i was thinking of, and their always hauled to wherever they have jobs..I would hate to drive that monster very far, liable to beat you to death

Look familiar to a truck seen around Illinois to soil/cement , is there any name on it

Underneath the heading is says wwwdotwatchdog,com , but I know nothing more

Amazing seeing technology doing a good deed

I look forward to the completion of this as I am sure it will look great! I agree with some of the others though, you might be better off without the muffler as it will hide the sound of the turbocharger (and you wouldn't want that!). Twenty years ago I drove a 1976 International Loadstar 1850 tandem axle gravel truck (for my dad's excavating business), powered by a International DT466 with a 13 speed Fuller and it had a straight pipe. Every time I would shift, it let out a loud whine from the turbo (similar to the sound of an air-starter). I remember when my dad drove the truck, I would be at home and hear him coming from two miles away because of the turbo whine whenever he would shift gears. I love that sound!

I know that exact sound , nothing really compares to it, we had a single axle dt466 international that was without a muffler for about a year, every time we had a small load of gravel I would run to the truck so I'd get to piss everyone in town off ....that's one he'll ov an engine , I'd almost compare it to a Mack but I won't go there

Awesome pics thanks

Sweet looking ride

We finally received the book and got her back to purring ... Been busy sorry I didn't answer earlier ...
