NoClueJoe66

Been wondering about him also....I tried to call him a couple of times, but got nothing. I hope he's just staying very busy

They are gone but not forgotten, may they all rest in peace with the angels above...amen

Thanks for the replies. I've never seen one in any of the steel dash model years.

Yeah, but I was doing it safely. I had the cruise control set so there was no need to watch the road or hold the steering wheel.

I was at work last night driving a Mack, listening to Fleetwood Mac, eating a Big Mac, and thinking of ways to reinvent Mac & Cheese, when for some unknown reason my thoughts turned to Mack trucks.

I think I got the model numbers right. I was wondering when the 10 &12 speed Maxitorques were first offered. I was thinking mid 70's but the ENDT866 had already been out for a few years. Were these trannies available then or was there another model to put behind the big 375hp Thermodyne?

Thanks Ken....Just a hint of advice if anyone's traveling today stay off I 81 it's a nightmare

Glad she's doing better buddy...hope all is well and glad to have you back around

Congratulations buddy, glad to hear everybody is doing well

Now that's what a wood dash should look like...looks good

I cannot say about the Mp7, but the series 60 Detroit in the truck I drive done the same thing and it was the EGR....maybe someone else can tell you exactly what it is, but my guess is EGR

I really would drive it, but I can't really relocate...i own the house and land debt free. Would hate to move lil man away from the grannies and everybody. Does sound like a good run though

I would love to do that but I'm too far away from you...

Someone on here just bought an MB....cannot remember who????

Welcome aboard buddy

That's a bad deal man...always hate to hear about companies shutting down

Funny stuff buddy...Didn't know you meet with the obama's.....lol

Paul,Tom and I aren't too far from Roanoke maybe we could all do a "picking day" when you get settled! Lol!...............................Mark

Well said.....nothing but the truth

Your only breaking the law IF you get cought. Drive the truck and pull over when tired. That's what I did for the 13 years I did otr. I think they should go back to 10 on 8 off and have something like a mandatory 3 day home period after 2 weeks out..but that's just me.

Hit the nail on the head for sure....thanks for sharing paul

Are they just trying to starve us to death here? Most trucking companies are either on electronic log or gonna probably have to go on electronic log "eventually", but with an e log and a goverened 55mph truck your barely gonna get 600 miles in an 11 hour period. That turns into getting at least 1 less load a week, and it's not like we are becoming rich out here anyway, but the point is that we all will be affected by this. Another thing is can you imagine going up I-81 with trucks cut back even slower than what they are now? I believe this would cause more accidents than anything with trucks cut back because of the 4 wheelers slamming into the back of a truck because they are running 70mph or faster and texting or whatever but this is just my opinion

That awesome, Old Bill has some good stories. I'd sure be interested in a copy myself

You didn't bore me buddy, I lost my father in 2001 & wish everyday I had got to spend more time with him.....glad you got to take your father out and spend quality time with him before he passed, the little things like that are the best memories. Hope you had a good birthday buddy & have a good one
