nobody gives a crap about anything anymore

cat trucks in the US did NOT have cat motors. They were navistar motors painted yellow. a CT15 is NOT a C15 cat. It's a junk navistar/international motor

my kw t880 has 2 clocks, radio and by the speedo...both set differently, and both keep different time...in 3 days they are already 3 minutes apart 🤮

might try it some day it doesn't go to work, and all the used ones i found were over $1300!

they have taken it to the shop (not mack) and the mechanic says it needs a new one. they aren't the best, kinda just parts changers. sometimes the gauges work, sometimes not, seatbelt light and buzzer are beeping constantly, mileage and hours comes and goes randomly. I have seem some info about a ground problem, but i have not taken it apart myself

We have an early 07 granite (gray motor) brown interior, that needs a new gauge cluster. Supposedly been on national backorder from Mack for months. Are there any aftermarket ones? Any idea where else to get one?

i think they have a laborer running brad's pete around, i saw it once on 59. otherwise they just sit in the garage I guess. I think theres still a few t&w trucks running panels and powder around, and the diamond trucks picking up stone for redi mix, but no more naperville drivers. kind of a shame

So I see at richie bros auction in Morris there is Naperville excavatings kenworth 4 axle tractor and 4 axle talbert lowboy. I wonder if they got a new one or locked the doors there

Yup, you want to talk about a screwball operation. I was the last driver to use it. Frame on the truck is rotted thru over the airbags on the lift axle, and the trailer is so far gone, the mechanic wouldn't touch it to weld up the problems. They say it's cheaper to pay sunset to move everything. I left in October after the trailer failed the safety inspection. Probably used to be good place, but not any more. Brad, the only other driver left, retired this spring. Now they have no drivers

That’s strange,I wore out three set of Roadmaster tires front and drive and got over 50000 each set and no issues what so ever and my truck is a short wheel base..

 

i was refering to the double coin, not the roadmasters...have heard the roadmasters are good tires, double coins went fast

ran a set on the drives, lasted like a year. They definitely don't last as long as a big name brand. Caps last longer than that

easy off oven cleaner...really...you'll have to experiment, usually takes lettering and pinstripe off and leaves the factory paint alone

sorry, been plowing. Its very vague, doesn't really say how to do it. Not a surprise for Illinois. i found this on the interweb, no idea what it takes to get one

looks like our fine state makes you use a private service to buy the permit

just google AA Conte, West Chicago

started in wisconsin, I believe

geez, at least the peterbilt ones say "peterbilt" for the big money

not the same, but we had a 07 granite tractor that turned TERRIBLE, i believe there are adjustments that can be made to the box, the Mack dealer made it turn like normal by doing something to the box itself

always clean at Boughton

probably injectors

what year truck? factory switch on the dash?

the message pops up as a safety reminder when you reach a certain speed. I would check the air solenoid that controls the function, I had several problems with the solenoids. They are all mounted together along the frame. I believe any "air" actuated switch is really electronic, and activates whichever solenoid it needs
