I hope one and all had safe and happy new year My boy flew down from QLD to spend Chrissy with Princess and I, it was good to see him as I hadn't seen him for 12 months Paul

I guess before I go changing things out I wanna know it is gunna work better than Dynatard I'll chase up Newto and see what he knows Paul

http://www.tecbrake.com/Mack.html I'll shoot them off a email as well Paul

Also Googled them in Australia Will drop them a line on Monday http://www.tieco.com.au/Tieco/Pacbrake.html Paul

Thanks Seed Have sent them off a email Will report back what I learn Paul

How does it compare tp Dynatard? Can you feel it working, as in holding you back ? thanks in advance Paul

Dunno, but a 320 coolpower isnt to bad at all If the passenger window is up it's nice and quiet out side If I have something big and tall behind the cab it sounds fantastic climbing a hill Hmmm , wonder what it would sound like in a tunnel ??? Paul

Dont know anything about these modern electronic jiggers sorry Good luck with what ever you decide Paul

Paul

Ok I have jake brake question As I understand it Jacobs used to make jake brakes for the E6 but no longer do I also understand that another company has started making them Anyone know anything about this ?? Paul

Yeah but is it really a lot more efficient or is it lime pissing into ocean to watch the tide rise I will grant you it may slightly more efficient but I wouldn't think it would be a huge difference Any body got any figures on this ??? Paul

Welcome to the forum Sorry Im not much help at all here Paul

Some good points seed I still find it hard to imagine having those diff ratios I guess different horses for different courses Paul

Only had underbody hoists on smaller tippers around 5 ton and under out here from the 60's onwards Paul

Jay Leno has grown on me over the years He always came across as aloud mouth Yank to me when he was on late night TV in Australia, it would appear that may have just been a act for the show He is so respectful to other people and their cars and other peoples families cars Paul

Great stuff Stunned to see a underbody hoist, I expected a telescopic hoist at the front Keep the video's coming, its hood to see how you all live over there and s ome truck stuff as well Paul Oh and have a great new year (it's already 2019 here you blokes have a few hours left )

So it is air shift into deep reduction I would start there I would make sure air is going were its meant to when its meant to I would also make sure the bolt inside lid is still tigh and the air ram is working good and not leaking air Paul

Sounds like the deep reduction range inter lock is getting stuck Is it air shift for deep reduction or air split for deep reduction? Paul

I do not believe split rims are anywhere near as dangerous as people are making out They are still fairly common in Australia and I have never had any dramas getting them fixed and or fixing them my self You only need a big set of tyre levers and a good size hammer once the bead is broken You should always be careful airing them up until the locking ring is fully seated Once the tyre starts to move up on the locking ring seating against it you should continue to tap it in with a hammer to make sure it is fully locked in A lot of tyre places I use ( all of them ) dont even use the cage even though there is one there Common sense clean rims etc make it really simple I rarely use split rims these days, I only have them on the float I would change to tubless if you can as you will have less flats and they are better riding and last a lot lot longer Paul

And how did the maiden voyage go ?? Paul

This is quite amazing to me Like the reverse alarm, have never seen a Brockway or a reverse alarm like that in the flesh so to speak Great stuff and thanks for sharing Paul

Thats making my Mrs Mack look very rough andunloved inside lol Looks great and glad you got it sorted Paul

No snow in Australia, everyone have a safe one out there Paul

No mate, I'm pretty sure the air regulator number 13 drops the pressure Should be around 50 - 60 psi Paul
