Kevinnnnn!  Does it have an electric primer?  Were Trying to establish are these guys more forward thinking than Volvo ? I think hes talkin about the cab! If I were to like CAB overs  and I am not a fan however !  I think the MH was the best cab over ever made by anyone.  Beauty is in the Eye of the beholder! Had they provided a proper Cab jack with an MH it would have been perfect! For a cabover!🙄😁

What was wrong with the cab jack? Same as any other COE

Is this V8 the old E9 of Mack's?

Produced by Wagner for Mack, they have significantly more force, a requirement for a 20k axle versus a 12k axle.

That Volvo wants to charge you $744.85 for a $200 component should be a crime.

Volvo doesn't want you operating a 1996 vintage truck. And they want to rinse their hands of "American" Macks.

I was wondering if that brake can had more strength.  That makes sense.  Its now just a plow truck.  Doesn't ever exceed 45 mph & will never haul any weight again.  Thanks for the reply

What is so special about a "Roto" brake can for the sterr axle on a 20K front axle in a 96 RD that Mack wants $744.85 per brake can?  I installed a standard type 24 can. Its doing the job.  Never seen a Roto can. It bolt together

That is a Beautiful cabinover

Glad I read this. I was told by a local dealer to stay away from  Jost as they are cheap poor quality.  Maybe I investagate further

Nice!!  Im partial to the round fender A cars.    

I actually saw the trip your talking about.  I was going across the Thruway.  What I would give to have that adventure today. That's saying something because I've had a few adventures of my own.  In fact I posted a couple of em on our website.   

Try Global truck here in N.H.603 239 7008. They have a kit to sell to do what your looking for

Info on GM trucks can be hard to obtain. When GM got out of the truck business it seems the records weren't kept anywhere.  Also I was told by a Retired GM guru that there was a warehouse fire that destroyed a lot of info. Not sure if that's true. My brother has 2 very rare Astro's that he dug deep on for info. Took almost 2 years.  

What would you do if ya won the Lottery?      Easy,   I'd just keep collecting & trucking until the money was gone.

I plowed snow with a DM that was rusty. Had to wear rain pants in slushy snow. Boss kept trying to replace the truck but I liked it and made him keep it. Many cans of spray foam, sheet metal kept it going for more years

as far as the chebby in a ford goes, i have said for many many many years "even a blind, one handed, retarded monkey can make a chebby run. it takes talent to make a ford run"

OUCH

That's cool. Thanks for the link to the show pics.  That 80's Freightliner sure had a lot of time spent on it. Looks just like the truck in one of my Freightliner  ads from back in the day. Lot of nice trucks there

Wow. That's almost a 20 year run. Impressive

Swap the wires in heater fan. Did that swap to a DM plow truck once. Froze my butt off next storm. Blower motor going full tilt.  But in reverse.

What about the freightliner COE next to it? Were there any other COE's there? My son was showing his Dairy calf at Cornish fair so we didn't make it to the show

Now that's very interesting.  And made here locally too

If it was 20 years ago, I would say Ralph's Truck World on Lafayette.

Try http://www.pstrucksandparts.com/  or https://rydemore.com/  or http://www.globaltrucktraders.com/

I would think one of the above probably have it.

 

Now.....  as far as the COE addiction....

Yes Global did locate the correct air cleaner.  So that's covered. They are Great people to deal with.    As for the COE's. Well somebody has to keep the tradition alive.   Have you noticed out on the Big road the COE's are making a bit of a comeback.  Folks always tell me they don't want to be the first one at the accident scene. I say Real Truck drivers don't need a Hood to aim with.  I know why MOST folk don't like COE's.  Each to their own

We need to form a group for hood owners..."my name is Joe, and I have a problem. Not all my trucks are COEs". With help and encouragement, you can overcome.

LOL.  I think im beyond help.  I LIKE my COE's.  I own 3 Mack , 3 IH's, 1 Marmon, and others. Between my brother and I we have 14 COE's.   

Ok so I now own a Mack with a Hood.  Im getting plenty of harassing from friends.   Its a plow truck.  Its in need of an air cleaner.  1995 RD that has inside outside air intake. A what style of air cleaner is this? B Where do I find one?

WOW!!  Very interesting.  Instead of watching TV I read these forums and am better off for it.

The Powerliner......one of my favorite COEs. And again, in a certain sense, it doesn't look particularly old.

12V71, KTA, or 3408. OH YEAAA!!
