We tried new trucks. Had 1970's DMs and we decided to buy a new truck so there would be less maintenance cost and a be nicer for the drivers. Well that new truck had more problems then anything. Turbos, air compressors, and the transmission is a whole another story. I worked for a major oil company and we ran mostly 1980's R models. The bosses decided to go buy new trucks because they burned a gallon of oil a week (1000 miles a day running them 24/7). The CHs they replaced them with too small of radiators, air compressors throwing rods, fuel accelerator linkages, ring and pinions, etc. Those trucks spent more time at mack then they did on the road. Now they run Peterbilts and got rid of their V****s. another company that got screwed over by mack dealers. I run 80s trucks everyday putign 500 or so miles on them. Got a 1970 dump trailer thats just as good as the new ones but better. Theres a company we work for that uses their trailers for the same thing and already replaced the floors and they're 1 or 2 yrs old. ill stick to old equipment. Dont need a computer and a so called "technician" to fix them and the taxes are cheap on them. I give the town their $5 for taxes for each trailer and everyone's happy.

Bob the kid is R-model Super-liner nut well it does say Mack on it but he does like DM800 I herd he cant wait to pick up the side winder with 14.00 x 24 sneakers in PA.That going to be three day trip but its going back home to Mass.

Didnt they own a dealership in Mass.

Definite a timing issue or somebody ran it back wards .

Did it go to Peabody Museum at YALE they do have a lot of DINOSAURS on display .

Item #11 usually don't come on 38k but you can install to keep the spring from twisting in the spring cap .also item #7 can be change to a one piece steel bonded spring saddle . Ive always change and did away with rubber bushing . A little costly but well worth it.

I thought they drove different down under.

They took those atlas aluminum body off and put them on Sterling / Fords for next life .

That is 2stacksuperdog profile

They found the kid on a state collage campus with two hand guns then search his car and found several loaded clips and a AR15 assault rifle then went to fairfeild conn. where they found his bed room door with pad lock on it .The parents didnt no why it was lock an then found literature about other shooting in the U.S.A. and 2000rounds of ammo ma by it was a blessing .

The kid was wearing camouflage and a sword . It cost the city of New Britain Conn over 17K for the hole thing . The state is going after these clown's and all the rock climber that fall or get stuck to re coupe some money for the towns .

Its seems to have more brkts for 5 inch than 4 inch mufflers.

A lot of Mandela relatives are here.!!!!

Sounds like a quick release valve gone bad .

Ive seen them on the side RT 7 in Ridgefeild Conn.always wonder what they were used for.

Change the plastic check valves in the transfer pump.

valve is under the floor panel pedal is on top

Coolant level!!!

Go mech. sounds like you have some time fix the old ones or get o/p to do job.

Quality the 2 piece 44k that crack and cost the costumer $ and down time

There are two different gauges sending units they cant be swap around some times you have bad cab to frame ground this will affect the proper reading .

Over the years Ive seen dealers take trucks in for warranty from one week to one month and still do a lozy job with a b c class mech with a company that had several hundred power units . I bought 01 RD it spent more time broke and know iam broke thank you MACK been a fan for 35+ years .

Howdy neighbor watch out for the dog penn

It look like it was park in front of Cumby store........same P.O.........

The 6 speed will take 1800 lbs torque the 12.5 13 will only take 1200 lbs unless you put a mack 9 12 13.18 speed with triple counter shaft .
