thanks guys ...she is a keeper. Lets me play in the mud , drive around in my old cadillacs, buy old Macks, play with model trains even lets me look at her friends boobs (as long as I dont stare to long)and after all that I still can come in the house to find she wants to cook Dinner. Cant get much better than that.... She has been with me every step of the way and is truely my best friend. Regards Trent Blasco

I Proposed to my Girlfriend Sarah of 13 years. I just had to give up as she just would not leave me alone. the old saying if you cant beat them, join them.... ( Atleast thats my story ) We spent newyears out in Galena IL with a few friends and I proposed to her last Friday night in the old Grant Park across the river from downtown Galena. Starting a new Chapter in our life and wanted to share.

WTF????? you own how many RS700L? and you have never seen convoy......I cant talk to you anymore Rob. LOL

is the throttel lever tight to the shaft that comes out of the pump? a nut and bolt pinch that to the shaft.... same with the throttel stop? would advise you install a manual throttel stop before you keep trying to start it. Last thing you want is a runaway...and you dont want to stand next to it when it does run off. Sounds like the pump has some issues?

about 6 years ago I ran chicago to Long Island.. took the Long island Expressway in a R model Mack and empty van trailer...it was the same way. I had to air up a steer tire when I got back into PA but the rest of the trip to chicago was fine.???? you diddent hapen to shrink from your sore spine being compressed did you? either my legs got shorter or my neck pushed in to my torso LOL!!!

Yea it looks like the older 12 speed with 2 sticks..haven't seen one in years

I think your PC has found a spam bot that highlights words or is attempting to copy words you see or type. Sounds like you need a virus protection run on your PC?

what transmission is that Rob??

hmm..did he by chance sell you the old 8.5" muffler clamps for the older R models? sounds like your band clamps are way to small... the other thing I was thinking is if your brackets were modified when you had the 6" stacks installed. Reason I say this is when I put straights on my B model I used a mid 90s R model exhaust Hanger, I had to cut the "wings" off the square tube to clean the look up. If I recall the "wings" on the square tube are angled to help cradle the muffler? if those were modified it will give you the gaps between the clamp and square tubes.

Looks like a solid work truck!...what's the specs on her Welcome to the site.

I just put mufflers on a superliner and I recall they were 9"??? Anyways the clamps gave aprox 1" gap either side of the square tube. However this was kinda hidden from the front view with the heat shield mounted. You could see the clamps from the rear tho.. if you. Have shields maybe just make longer clamps??

OH NO HE DIDENT....LOOK OUT THREAD DERAIL!

It sucks to see them leave but just think in 20 years we hopefully see pics of them still working. I hear that in Africa and south America they can still get parts for them? That and the older macks are just fool proof to work on..no electronics. No air bags just a tuff old work horse. I hear that they are buying a lot more ch macks now that a lot of the r models are gone...I know that a lot of these trucks sell for 6k-7k. That's a lot more than most of us would or could pay for a hobby truck. Hell I bought my RS700L for 3k in 2005. The export cost is also not that much. So we can't afford them. Most drivers here don't like the small cab old truck. The 3rd world drivers want them and like them. .

Wonder if you could buy the aussi ECU and just plug it in?

Dont you love it when your day goes as planned!!! Here in IL they got rid of the dynos as all these new cars are alot lower and the bodywork is to close to the wheels. I had a 97 Honda Civic track day car with lowered suspension. went in to the emissions and they wanted me on the dyno. I said it will not clear the rollers as they had this wierd hood that covered part of the rollers. the kid drove it up on the rollers and it bottomed out. Cracked my front bumper and side skirts. I had my camera, took pics and a month later ended up with a nice $1600 check. needless to say my car also passed! I had to have my Rmodel tested about 5 years ago. Its kinda known in the aera and the shop I took it to warned me about the snap test. they know I have the fuel turned up to it. it passed but it was just a visual snap test and they looked the other way...

What if I recieved positive rep points that I did not deserve? can I trade them for negitive points? LOL

Got any more pics of your Great looking Superliner? I think thats the first pic I have seen of it. what are its specs?looks well taken care of..

if I understand this question he is saying the inlet lets in alot of dirt and collects in the bottom of the can, There are a few products that help sift the dust out before it enters the filter housing. Its called a pre cleaner. It lets in air but makes it travel in a rotated path, as the air moves around it forces dirt to drop out and fall into a collector that can be emptied out when you see it full. Lots of construction machines have them. also stop following that guy that is driving in front of you. I often see guys following each other to close and the guy behind the lead truck is sucking in all that kicked up dust and dirt!.. stay back in the clean air!! pre cleaner image http://www.google.co...=1t:429,r:9,s:0

First thing I look for when I have bad MPG is what is my Boost vs EGT readings. Its a good indacation how your air fuel ratio is doing and if your down on power. Restricted fuel flow does not really hurt MPG. Restricted air will reduce power. If you have low boost you have a leak or clogged fuel filters. low EGT tells me it is not getting the fuel it needs. besides that winter blend fuel will reduce your MPG.

Great looking Superliner. Just a little TLC and it will stand out for sure! what is the wheel base? Looks like its around 230"? My RS had a 36" sleeper when new. it has a 206" WB ...kinda short for my liking if it still had a sleeper..

Did they ever decide to build the Big HP Maxidyne? think it was a 550 or 605 HP? saw it displayed at the Con expo show years ago...Would love to see how that would run or even better put with a newly designed 12 speed! Trent

Welcome to the site. Cant help with the newer mack stuff... try posting this question in the Modern truck section or in the genral discussion section..more people will see it Trent

Try Grandrock.

thats good to hear I last ran in in April and they gave me a whole 3/4 of a right lane to try and snake up the hill. was kinda scary with the heavy traffic, concrete walls and a1 million dollar trailer behind me.

yep...a lot of in and out...Seen r model fuel tanks with worn down steps.
