TPMS for class 6 and up
Freightrain replied to Miami Cossack's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Passenger car TPMS are sketchy at best for reliability. I hate them, though dont own a vehicle with them. Just another flashing light in the dash to ignore by most people. Those people wouldn't check a tire if they noticed it walking up to a car, so what is a light on the dash going to do?? They build new cars for idiots.....but they are making better idiots every day. -
Luckily I'm minutes away from Summit here in Akron. I know this covid crap has everything screwed up. Many phone sales work from home so they aren't even close to anyone in the office to move things along.

I used a long limit switch arm to contact my brake pedal. I used it to work a relay for both the cruise and Jake brake operation.

Ditto...... I never even heard about it?

B75 711 turbo ran away
Freightrain replied to tippi98custom's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
A handful of bolts will get the cover off and you can see if the plungers are stuck. -
I never used it.

Pull cover off the pump and see if plungers move. -

Custom printing

Quite a difference between centimeters and millimeters! -
Dave, we've had a few members go missing due to "issues" on the board. Don't be another one. I've learned to just scroll right on by the posts with battles going on in them. Just doesn't add anything to my day reading them....so I just ignore them. In time they will slip onto page #2 and forgotten. Another thanks for the pictures you post.

Nice. My last bench I built I had some scrap 4x6's and used those for legs. You can pound on it all you want and it does not move. The 2x10's on top kinda helps. Got a call from one of my sub contractors for work. He was scrapping a large metal table and offered it to me. It's 10ft x 2ft, 1/4" plate top and sides(riveted together, so it's like a mid'40's-50 table) with a nice vise. $200!! I got it for work, gives me someplace to do my repair/welding without having to use tables all around the shop. My current work table is a 3ft square granite inspection plate! Ya, it's all we had.....LOL!

Ditto. My 237 was a big step up from the ol 673. But I too always want more!!!! Arh,arh,arh! But I want dependability, so I rolled the nut a couple flats and just drive it. Doesn't get over 1000* on the pyro.

Need to move the MB up a couple feet to get the perspective closer so it looks the same size as that tall MH! Lol.

My guess is part of the link didn't get copied over?

Ankle.............well I'm sure that's just what TOM calls it.....................🤣
-
I'll agree with that 100%.
-
That looks to be a better deal then that R model from a few years back. Same scenario, but I think they wanted twice for the R model?
-
Wow..that's a LOT of truck!

I throw some Power Service in mine every few fill ups.

I seem to remember those commercials on TV from many years ago? My favorite commercials was from Stroh's. Where the guy is lost in the desert and the old guy offers him water and he says..."No, No, that's okay, I was really looking for some Stroh's". LOL!!
-
Yup, Mark. He has a facebook page about the show and he apparently is doing a restoration on the truck? Or is it just the motor? Been some time since I saw a post about it.

I can't help, but someone will be along and tell you. Welcome to the forums.

A Couple Of B61s
Freightrain replied to doubleclutchinweasel's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Pretty sure we spoke at registration, as we were all kinda close in line. -
Glad to hear they are taking care of it. Hope the next version works well. There is a Youtube channel (Jpaydirt)that has put a couple of those turbos on his Cat powered KW and 1693 powered equipment and really likes them.
