I'm not up to snuff on newer Macks, but when I worked on trucks the biggest problem we saw was boost pressure leaks...split hoses, broken clamps, or cracked aftercooler. Look over all the pipes from your turbo to aftercooler and then to intake manifold.

I've never had a Mack apart...when I was a kid I remember my dad's mechanic using dry ice to shrink new liners to slip them into a Mack block (673?). Are those "dry" liners (coolant doesn't touch the liner)? I worked on Cat and Cummins all my life; they use "wet" liners (coolant touches them)...they pull out pretty easy with a puller and you just "pop" them in with lube on the o-rings. We worked on a lot of engines that didn't get proper maintenance on the coolant, and cavitation would pit the liners to the point that they would either leak into the oil pan or right into the cylinder.

Beastly and so short with those big rears. I would want to be loaded all the time.

Are you talking about a truck or a woman?

Freightrain, it could have been built by Freightliner. Here's one I found online, but not the one I remember.

Not like these other trucks, but an Autocar just the same. This picture was taken in 1942, man's name was Dan Edwards. My granddad bought the business but kept the Edwards name.

When I was a kid back in the 70's we went to the Ohio State Fair and they had a miniature PIE tractor trailer. It was a daycab COE, about the same size as "Fuzzy's". I can still remember how awestruck I was to see that little truck...whoever built it did a fantastic job.

Two out of three photos look great!

220cummins, that B looks great...do you have some more photos here on the site?
-
If this one's worth $14k, then mine's probably worth $20k!!!

Looks great! Those trucks look beastly.

I've often asked why are there any Peterbilts,period!!!
Mack is definitely a better truck, but Pete makes a good one too...especially if you're gonna run all interstate. There's a lot worse trucks out there than Pete.

Green Dash, that Fotki Overdrive scan is great...especially the cabover Pete with the 12V-71 in it (tractor of the month runner-up). I wonder how hard it was to maintain those 12 cylinder DDs.

Thank you for the info!

So why are there "359 extended hood" and "379" Petes? What is the difference?
-
I hate to sound stupid, you'd think I'd be used to it by now...how do you change the middle tires?

Ron, you're right...I hated looking in the mirror on curves because you leaned way over and the stack didn't. They had a crazy dual A/C system...I was told that they were nearly unrepairable.

It was at the Grand View Lodge, actually in Randolph on Rt. 2.

Union guys please don't take offense...I used to be in the Operating Engineers and their motto was "A fair day's pay for a fair day's work". If we put in a good day's work and be reasonable with our employer, perhaps we can start to buy our country back from China. When I hear of guys making way more than others, or having to hire a separate guy to operate the body or whatever, somebody is paying for that. Guess who? You and me.

I stayed in a cabin in Gorham a few years ago, spent a week hiking Pinkham Notch and area...absolutely beautiful. If anyone gets a chance to hike to Arethusa Falls or Diana's Baths, they are spectacular. North Conway is a great little town, hopefully it's not getting too touristy.

Very nice! Love that motor.

What exactly are "New Jersey controls"?

That's a nice looking dump...I like the set back axle. If that dog's going to carry the ball, he'd better wear a helmet.
