Nice. She's gettin' there.

I looked at mine and it isn't bent. It has been repainted and could have been straightened, who knows.  Thanks to the pictures I now know that rubber bumpers go in the two holes.

It is hard to imagine anything Mack being ugly but you all are right about that hood.

I can't help you with the ID but the idea is cool.

If you look straight down into the head you will see it is marked which is which.Just in front of the valve spring.

Guys, Thanks for the help.

I set out to adjust the noisy rocker arms today and I'm not sure which is the intake and which is the exhaust. It is not obvious by the location of intake or exhaust port or the injector. The pictures in the shop manual are not clear either at least not to me. Can somebody get me over the hump. Thanks. 

Now that you mention it I didn't change anything with the heater motor. It works fine (so far).

When I did the conversion to eliminate the 12/24 series parallel switch I had to change the temp gauge and fuel gauge along with the sending unit. I got the gauges and matching sending unit from Summit Racing. They were SW which fit the holes and looks of the originals. I think I saw somewhere on here that SW made the gauges for Mack. Good Luck.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and a get well quick to you all that are under the weather.

Ed, Here is a picture of the heater hose set up. Opps it wouldn't let me attach. I'll send it in an email and try attaching later.

Amen! He was one of my favorites.

LoL. Those are so technical sounding as to be almost believable.

always had a crush on that truck.....

 

That's understandable, very nice truck & trailer.

Thanks for the "Pictures of the Week" fix. Some very nice Bs at the show. I'd like to see the casual labor lot in Winfall.

Very nice! Thanks for the pics.

Me too. I know he made a recent trip to OK or Texas. Now that it is getting cooler all the "girls in a car" must be covering up.

My heart-felt thanks to all who served in the U.S armed forces.  Here is a  favorite WWII video montage.  Besides the video, the sound is well done too.

I second that. Very moving tribute. This should be required watching on every college campus.

I like the color combo with the blacked out chrome. You're getting close.

It was on again last night. I agree it was kind of disappointing for the "Pickers" not to show more interest in the Macks.

I'm back in business too.

A friend sent this to me. A B Model mixed in with some limos.  No connection just passing it along:

Great way to treat yourself on your birthday.

Yep. Trailers in general are such a PIA. It seems like every time I'm out something breaks and I'm very anal about keeping them maintained. I really wonder how the hotshot and car carrier guys keep their trailers on the road.

The really funny thing about this one is I had just been thinking about the tires and wondering if I could get one more trip out of them before I replaced them. About one minute later I heard the bang and the TPM started beeping. I guess the trailer gods can read my mind and sent a clear message about what to do.

I agree,  trailers seem to require more maintenance than anything else. I have a 24' enclosed with 15" tires. I had D load range tires about 8 years old. I bought a set of E load range tires at Hershey. While bringing the trailer from the storage lot (2 miles) to home to put the new tires on a tread separated. I guess I was lucky not to be on the side of the highway somewhere.

You're right...that is a nice iPhone.

I was thinking the orange B, the beautiful DT or B 53 towing the sailboat, but she takes first place.
