Will do ernie...when I get back monday or Tuesday...

thats pretty cool. suprised the scrappers have not found a way to get it home!!!

at the yard they have the western style tank on a valueliner. its the style that has the ends with the 3 rings "bulls eye" think its a 50 gal? if intrested I can get a price for you.. will be gone the next few days so I may be late to reply... Trent

Shiny but just wait untill you have headlights behind you.. it will look like a freight train is coming at you from 5 diffrent directions LMAO!!!

Marango IL?

you did exactly as I would have done.....

the seat position is fine I just dont like that I cant stretch out. This IH I drive you cant touch the pedals with the seat all the way back. not that I drive like that but boy do my knees like it. But dont worry we will run at your pace and my trailer has a nice comfy couch for you to sleep on at night. you will even have AC/Heat to help forget that days trip.... LOL

Rob... Remind me to ask you again about the leg and rear wall room when we make our trip back from NV this summer... LOL. farthest I have been in a R cab was Boston and back to Chicago...with a co driver. about the same that you will make in 2-3 days We can compair stories...

I always said one of these days I would take a R cab and stretch it another 5-6" behind the doors. Thought that would be so nice to be able to stretch your legs in a day cab R or atleast recline a little!

I hear that Larry.. If I dont like ATHS I can just leave and keep my .02 to myself...thats how it should be as to not upset the majority. I love checking the Yellowbullit site for the NSFW self shot girl threads...Search for the perfect ( . )( . ) threads LOL.... they are animals over there ...snd just my type....Hey did I ever tell you about the bacon pasties I made for this one girl..... Nevermind I may have just deraild this thread???

yea.. sounds like the online divison is getting back control (rightfully so as they created it) Hope they iron out the other issues that HQ has caused...The part that erks me is that most about ATHS is Many of the people that were VERY helpfull have left and moved on because of the drama and sometimes lack of free speach. One thing I noticed is that for a board that was so against politics it sure was constantly editing peopls posts to their liking.. they sure do come off as one of the more political boards that I belong to. but thats just my .02 I know BMT may be less of a squeeky clean board but Look how well we do with it.. We can freely speak our mind as long as not to disrespect a person or his views. that is the best way to be least politcal. again just my .02 Trent

take that trailer off and that old R model will twist right back into shape... may need some new paint tho....

THE MAXIDYNE was a 1200-2100 RPM enigne. It was intended to use 5 or 6 forward gears as it had a big flat torque curve. this was good for flat land and limited shifting. the 400HP had a shorter torque range and was intended to have more gears to always keep it in the sweet spot. In my opinion..your 7 speed is basicly just a 5 speed with 2 extra low gears. it does not give you the needed gears to keep the engine RPMs where they need to be. as soon as the RPMs fall and you need to down shift you will have to wait untill about 1300 RPM before you can downshift and catch the next gear. I think the new program may not be right for that transmission. A 9 or 13 speed would be better as it has less of a RPM drop between gears. Just my .02 Trent

the mechanical will give you more and is easly turned up if you want to.

one thing that started to gripe me over there was they would constenly jab Mack owners. Im thick skinned and can take a joke. but try to take a jab a Pete or KW owner and your post would be edited, the one way street attitude does not work for me. I have met alot of people from ATHS and most are top notch.I go to many shows and its always fun. Now posting pics is easy if you like to upload to a link instead of just seeing picture automaticly when the post is opened. They give the excuse that people are still on dial up. but how many are? 10%???...i feel they miss the bigger picture by doing this... thats my.02

sounds like the shift Cyl is worn or you have gunk build up? worse case is you have bad shift forks. like rob said..an easy fix

Chicago is odd.. The city is 80% Democrats... then you go out to the burbs and most are Republicans... Chicago is what makes or brakes the vote for the whole state. then again I never understood how the Mob ruled Chicago if it was filled with those Dems trying to share everyones earnings. The Mob seam like true Republicans. Think about it..the Mob always wanted to keep the things that they "earned" shared just with the close family. Messed up town I live in!

most other outfits dont have these problems????

I will say that I enjoy the club and have met lots of new friends because of it. However I agree that they do over police the message boards. Im fine with keeping things very clean and safe for familys but they will edit anything that they man not agree with. if the mod thought that your post had little to do with the topic they deleted or edit it. I have to ask why if the post was simply a discussion about the topic. I just hope this current change of events does not damage the club.

Im hearing that the ATHS is having some more issues regarding the leadership. anyone catch this? something about the leaders selling off a donated Mack and changing how the ownership of the online fourms. I Hear this mess has cause some chapters to disband. From what the regulars are saying its time to vote out the leaders before they damage it anymore..there has to be more of this story? Trent

cool pics.... I have seen a LT or LJ with the same hood. there is a Guy out in CA that still has one. Trent

Jim sounds right if I recall...The F model cab was sittin up on a container or something for years. you could see it from the street... Yea there was not alot of gold in the containers but there was alot of little things that were of good use... Speaking of old Chicago trucking companys...I wonder if Greco stil has those old R models on jack stands?I was there 6-7 years ago when they had the RS700Ls for sale. they had some other cool stuff that was lightly used think they had a V8 C model as well?

2 years before Celli moved I went over to their yard and talked with a guy. think his name was Jim or frank? Al... I know you know the guy im talkig about as you know him... He let me go through their used parts trailers and they had about 6 of those Clariben hoods all used and just sitting there waiting to be thrown away. I did not care for them so I passed. They also had the old 5 hand hole budds that I picked up and some NOS doors. It was a great find for old B model parts. I was going to grab the "northwest Mack" lettering off the building after they started to knock it down But I was a week to late. I think someone had already grabbed them??? Trent

thats good to hear Al...I dident know they relocated. Are they still a mack dealer? Also There is still a Celli B model Water truck sitting it Orient Express yard off Rt12. Think it was moved there when the old yard was leveled? Trent
