  1. Congratulations, I remember my test, I was one of the first ones in ND to even have to do a pre-trip, cold weather was on my side, I was dressed for it, the female examiner wasn't.
  2. Maybe he finally stopped to help one of those wimmins.
  3. Having trouble sending pm' s. Anyhow I have 2 tanks one is 24.5 in diameter the other is 25.25. One is butt welded to the ends the other is lap welded. I'm not sure what it would cost to ship, but could take it to a truck shipper. Was thinking $200 for the tank.
  4. If that tank isn't up to specs I've got an aluminum one I would part with.
  5. I've pulled them apart and cleaned them, and put some grease on them. Of course you can buy them new but they aren't cheap.
  6. Some people I know of running mack seem to mistake their ruggedness for never needing maintenance. It disgusts me to see these trucks in such poor shape. I have picked up a few of these macks over the years, and it's amazing what a $1000 dollars and a couple of days can do. The idiots that owned these trucks thought they were shot.
  7. Most likely your spindles that the wiper arms mount on are rusty. It will act like the motor is failing.
  8. I know of a good one with a 671 up here in ND for 1500 if your serious I could do some digging and make sure the guy still has it.

    We're gonna need some pics.
  10. Just out of curiosity why do you want to switch to hub pilots? They can be a total bitch to remove the inside dual if it has been on a long time.
  11. http://mandersdiesel.com/featured-trucks/1977-mack-r685st.html no connection, just really interesting.
  12. The " kriete group" in Madison Wisconsin has a 2003 vision with an insulated body on it. At least it should be pre egr.
  13. If you don't mind replacement quality they are the same as 47-51 chevy pickups, available from classic truck parts of america.
  14. Great point of view. It shows how some things happen for a reason, and things have a way of falling into place.
  15. I was admiring that one on truckpaper, but it was way too far away for me.
  16. I'm trying to swap in a crd93 from a '69 into an '86 the axle splines don't seem to be cut deep enough to slide in. They both are 17 spline, and measure the same size. Anyone ever run into this?
  17. Does anyone know the part number for the threaded pass thru in the head that the solenoid wire hooks to for an e-6 with a dynatard? My dealer looked it up it's the right picture but his number supersedes to a spade terminal.
  18. Flywheel to crankshaft is 185ft.lbs.
  19. I test drove one in a freightliner once, maybe it wasn't running right, but it seemed really short on power. I think they do hang together o.k.
  20. It really pisses me off when people call pickups "trucks". I've got a brother in law that says this, every visit we have to argue about it.
  21. Make sure the shop checks/vacuums out your intercooler for metal. I've heard of guys not doing that and it has cost them big.
  22. Had my turbo go out at about 750000mi. A buddy of mine had the same amount of miles on his 60 series detroit, so he thought he would avoid my trouble and preemptively replace his. His replacement lasted 3 weeks!
  23. Nope, as it turns out they were 3.87's the truck was originally speced to have come with 4:17 and I swapped them back in. All the 4.42's we ever ran seemed to be indestructible.
  24. Somebody has one for sale on Minneapolis Craigslist. I'm not sure how to post a link.
