  1. why would I do that? I dont need more problems.
  2. Why do R model front springs cause such a bad ride? I drove a 2000 freight liner again today and it barely made the front end move when going over a pot hole. I then got in the R model and drove over the same roads and it made me kringe when I went over a man hole cover . I love Macks and the duribility but why oh why do they ride like crap??? can i simply swap some pete or Freightliner springs under it?
  3. I wish every engine was made like that. the internal maintence wold be so easy!!! where did the piston go??

  9. just wondering what others think and why? I always liked the E6 300/350 for reliability and the tip turbine 285 because of the extra 200 RPM (2300)
  10.

MORRIS, ILLINOIS ATHS Northwest Illinois Chapter Truck Show IL Rt. 64, Downtown Mt. Morris.

  11. blue smoke on start up can be unburnt diesel, or oil. white smoke may suggest water or coolant. If the truck is at operating temp. some grey smoke is normal. If it is alwasys smoking I would think there is a problem some where. does your PCV tube blow heavy smoke out the bottom? if so you might have a worn piston/liner bad ring etc....feel the toob exit at idle it should have a suction/press feel to it simmilar to a cars PVC.

  12. Hello my name is Trent Blasco, Im from Chicago IL and own a 1965 B615LST and a 1978 RS786LST. the R model is 80% restored and the B model is around 50% Barry I like the new format. its just like the other car boards I have joined. some of the oldtimers might get a little confused but the options here are great.
