  1. you know your trucks if you under stand 75% of that lingo.. good find LOL. I didnet think there was that many CB slang words out there
  2. My friend has 2 lat 80s ? Macks with the 8 stud hole rims. His mechanic hates them. and to make it worse you need a few extra spare rims that will only fit those trucks.
  3. That might be true WV but I find myself always explaining to the Dealership parts counter guys what a 2 valve is or what a tip turbine fan does LOL I hope Mack keeps stocking 2V parts or aftermarket venders continue too because I dont plan to change my 30 year old engine anytime soon.!!!!
  4. Cant say where to look for the trans numbers but it sounds like you have a overdrive 13 speed. if your truck had a top gear direct transmission with 4.17 rears your top speed at a governed 1800RPM would put you at about 50-52 MPH. even if they were 3.87 rears that would make it around 60-62 @1800. You would need high 2.xx or low 3xx rear ratios to hit 70 MPH. most trucks I have seen dont often come with that low of a ratio...that i know of... Sounds like that dog can run!!!
  5. tell us it was a one shot deal gettin in the dock
  6. hows your back feeling Tim??? tuff trucks they were.. and still are!
  7. I took a few pics of a friend and I loading up his project 4x4 that did not want to start this morning. had to pull it up on the trailer with the RS and a Chain. Cold wet mud is always fun at 7am, especially whey your on vacation! Its heading out to AZ to be built as a rock crawler. next time i see it it might be upside down???LOL Hope all had a good Christmas
  8. if you are ever traveling inbetween Chicago and Milwaukee on I-94, take a look on the east side of the highway just 10 miles north of the Wisconson border. there are a few CFD pumpers sitting inthe backof a used (abused) truck yard just waiting for a ride home or to be fully parted out. not in the best conditions but worth stopping for a look
  9. my boss has a 440 HP V8 superliner.. just started tearing it down for the rebuild today. cant wait to see how a fresh V8 pulls.
  10. If I remember correctly its just for ignition control for the engine in diffrent temps or altitude. you could andvance or retard the ignition timing to keep the engine running smooth. lots of older cars had them. someone correct me if im wrong
  11. sounds like a 2 stick 6 speed. 1,2,3,4,5 on the main box low,direct,reverse onthe aux box to use low......use 1st gear in the main box (left stick) with the axu box (right stick) in low. mack says to only use low with 1st gear, not shure why they dont want you to use 2nd 3rd etc... in low? my self and many will use 1-2-3 in low to get some speed on a hill then shift the aux box(right stick) into direct. almost any time you need 1st-low it will be so slow that its difficult to grab direct as the truck will stop rolling before you can make the shift. reverse is fun in 5th just watch those mirrors!
