  1. Not sure if im wording this correctly but have any of you added a locking rear axle to your truck. I have a 2001 rd 694 single axle dump and i do alot of off roading around houses building sites etc. i was trying to back into an area today and i kept slipping i knew if i had a locking rear i could get where i needed to go. Any idea who makes one and how much they cost?

    Thanks

  2. Been putting some miles on the truck running dirt and moving machines. The truck tows good and i just installed a stereo system to keep me occupied. The first picture is the mack down the shore starting a big job in mantaloking that was 160 miles round trip and it burned about $100 in fuel towing 19,000lbs. The next is my fuel tank after about 2 hours of polishing. The body might take a little longer haha. Maybe shell be ready for the diesel nationals one day.

  3. Thats all done free hand by the lettering guy we use. He really does an awesome job and he did it in one day for 1/3 the price sign a rama wants. I have the electric box with the live hydraulics didnt come with a salter. Eventually i want to pull the pump off and put a regular pto off the transmission. I heard they shift way easier with the jake also.

  4. So we went up today and looked at the ex penn dot trucks. The one we chose is a 2001 with 41,000 miles and only 3,300 hours on it. The price is 29,000 which is more than we wanted to spend but the truck is super clean. Its a 275 hp em7 mack with an 8LL behind it. Truck is perfect minus the jake and ac. Ive been cruising the net looking at aftermarket ac systems and they seem reasonable. The jake is the only thing im wondering about can you direct me to a place to find the correct heads and parts to install a jake on the truck? Also how hard are these motors to tune up to 300 hp or so?

    Thanks,

    Eric
