I might do that. It will have to be moved from where it is now as it is in the way of another project. There is a slim possibility that I will travel east this summer to clean up my brother's estate. If so, I will announce it in this thread. I will travel non-toll roads, so I-80 to Quad Cities, I-74 to Indy, I-70 to PA, I-79 to I-68 to I-70 into Balt, then I-95 N to DE. Interested parties need to have a way to get it off the trailer - cherry picker, skid steer, fork lift ...

I talked to Inland Truck Parts, they have no use for it. Not another trans shop within 600 miles and Macks aren't real popular in the Rockys

I don't know what scrap weight on this is, but I'm gonna find out next scrap run I do. Need a taker or off it goes

Enuff pix of the truck, where are the pix of "stacks"??

Unfortunately I still have this. Gotta clean up the yard. Make an offer. I trade too!! Guns, Post hole digger for a skid steer, 24.5 hub pilot rims, Flat bed for a dually Ford, ... ??

I still have this and don't want to scrap it out just yet. I get it that transportation is the issue. If interested, let me know, sometimes a transportation issue will present a solution.

I've had it for 10 years or so. I do need to change the diff oil. Guessing synthetic is ok in these top loaders

I'm in the high desert of Wyoming. I'm not saying mold can't grow here, just unlikely. I treat my bulk fuel with biobor to prevent algae, when I buy it at the pump I don't use any additives.

I wanted to wrap this up. Turns out there was about an inch of nasty sludge and peeling tank liner inside my passenger tank (the one that the engine sucks from). I pulled the 2 drain holes and flushed with 10 gal of diesel. I realized that this was gonna get expensive and switch to the pressure washer. After 2 thorough washes at 2200 psi, I let the tank dry for 2 days then added diesel. For the last 2 weeks it has been running great! Pulls 29lb of boost, doesn't spitter when under a load, starts up every time. I have the driver's side tank shut off and suspect that there is an inch of crud in that one too. Maybe Sunday I will start the draining and pressure washing routine on that tank. I don't think this was from a 1 time fill up, just built up over the years.

40 miles N of Cody WY, 3 miles S of MT line

I finally got the loader, excavator and dozer running good all at the same time - and the dump truck is holding up the new driveway. Last pic is the new driveway I'm cutting in.

Got the load dumped by driving 200' at a time. After a longer cool down and it being empty, I would get 400' before it slowing dies. A buddy pulled me with my F-350 in the low range 3.5 miles to my driveway. Twice I started it to help him up the steep part of hills. My driveway is a steep grade (26%) and starts at the bottom of another hill. I started the truck, quickly rolled down the hill, turned into my drive faster than normal and made it 1/4 of the way up it. Went and got the D5 (the Ford wasn't gonna pull it up my drive) and started pulling on it. 3/4 of the way up it gets real steep and I started the Mack to help out. Went up, turned it around, parked it in a spot that is easy to work on and let it run (it hadn't quit). It idles for 45 minutes then I shut it off. I am now convinced that there is something in the fuel tank that is getting sucked into the up pipe. The combination of a steep angle and bouncing around while turning into the driveway loosened it up and got it out of the way - until next time. Winter is back today with 3"-6" in the forecast (I SUPPORT Global Warming!!!) so I don't know when I will be able to drain and clean both tanks. I think the problem is in the passenger side tank as that is the only one that the engine pulls from. Starting Sunday I am on the road until May 5th.

Can this be a heat thing? Seems that when the engine is up to temp, the wait between cranks that start it, is longer.

Went back to the original fuel pump - no change. Checked all fuel hose fittings - no change. Loosened fuel caps and it idled for 10 minutes! Took it for a test drive with the caps off and back to square one. I am driving 200' at a time. Wait 5 minutes, crank a lot, drive 200' more. I gotta get this load off, no way my F 350 can pull me loaded.

Electric pump. I'm gonna check everything I did - if winter ever goes away!!
