There's a big concrete pumping outfit near home that runs a few with the layout of the cab/chassis pics above.  Bet they turn like a house with all those tires on the ground

Long list....but at the top, in no perticular order are RD's, DMM's and MH.  Of course the iconic B models....

I agree.  The default didn't work for me, but I found one I can work with......

......Im good with change,...mostly lol

One thing I do miss is the "Recent Activity" button that showed thread titles instead of individual posts in threads, but I'll adapt....hopefully

I'm in the chat now.....all by my lonesome

Lol

first thing to check does smoke come out the stack when winding over ???? that will tell most of the story

Im guessing not at the start of winding ??

That's where I'd start. Have someone hit the key and watch the exhaust. The first few spins shouldn't yield anything, but it should start puffing smoke if it's getting fuel. But taking care of the leaks won't hurt anything either

I've got the same calendar hanging in the shop. I see lots of twin steers here, but NEVER a superliner.

I got similar errors Friday afternoon....2011 GU813 MP7-405M....dropped it off at Mack, gave them the errors I got off the guard dog, the young fella writing the service order seemed to know what I was gonna say.....

Already had the doser replaced once a few years ago.

Codes were 128 5246 15 and 128 4094 18

I googled them and got a error code book with descriptions

One has to do with DEF quality, which is odd, we get the same fluid all the time and store it in the shop. Bu, I was gone for about a year, and I'm not sure what happened. I know the granite hadn't been greased in quite some time....

So who's truck is this??

The company I work for....it's the spare

That what I thought too....but Cambridge Mack (Vision Truck) came up with a new cab, doors, lights, mirrors, bumper, tanks, seats. Re-used the frame, hood,axles(rebuilt), motor (ReMack), and transmission

I have always preferred have each lock on its own switch (front and rear cross locks and power divider), but the Mack I'm in and the Volvo I was driving for the feed mill both have the cross locks on one switch, and the power divider on another. The Volvo was plumbed so the cross lock switch didn't get air until the power divider did, which made for quick engagement, just one switch and its all locked up.

DO NOT engage while spinning ANY wheel.....anticipate you're gonna need em and hit em before you start loosing it. On soft ground (snow, ice, mud, loose gravel) and empty I notice very little difference in turning, as the back is light enough to just let the tires "burn", loaded , they both kinda want to plow lol.

I would avoid using at speeds greater than about 40km/h (whatever that works out to in MPH), just the way I do it. If I can manage over 40KMH then the conditions aren't crappy enough to be locked up. Also, careful with the the engine brake, it'll slow ALL the drive wheels and make for an exciting ride, with open diffs, a few wheels may keep road speed, which will help to hold a straight line.

How long has it been parked before you're gonna bring her back? I'd advise the same as the others, a really good look-over.

Welcome aboard . There's a lot of interesting info and knowledge here.

Pictures are welcome.

I think I see an R model in his avatar.....'

Welcome, Riddler

Merry Christmas everyone

If you're traveling, keep it rubber side down and between the ditches

258 I6 are THE BEST.....had one in my 88 YJ.....once you got em running they were solid torque monsters....still got a carb rebuild kit in the basement for it.....took me so damn long to find it, and never got to put it in.....

It's a west coast Christmas here this year.....

I even decorated my Granite.....

I will leave it on there till New Years....or the wind takes it, what ever happens first lol

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL

Someone was telling me the MP10 was capable of up to 1000hp and still be ran over the road...

I was just curious about the extra power US-605 AU-685 didn't the AU-E9V8 have more power?

There's an o/o that runs for the mill I was working at with a pair of KW with 6NZ cats that were dyno tuned to 750HP and 1000HP....hes been running them like that for years. The red KW (1000HP) has been "turned down" because of tearing up drivelines. Anyone familiar with the area: Both can pull the "hamilton mountain" NB (HWY6 North) @ +/- 60,000KG in high range. High power OTR can be done, just gotta watch what you're doing

agreed. a good read.

j_hancock: thanks for the link. I have seen that before when diggin for specs

Bbigrig: good explanation. And yes, 350 used to be a good number lol. The newly restored "spare" is an E6-350 Econodyne....30 yrs later and it still getting the job done.

By high torque rise, do you mean "Maxidyne"? My MP7-405 is supposedly a Maxidyne as well....I can say it pulls like a maxi
