  1. so Swishy does NZ have its own Mack plant ??? I didnt know that might explain some things I have wondered about NZ Macks Paul
  2. phew I dunno much about all this Series 1 Superliners are a much better looking truck I feel I wonder if NZ had different headlight requirements than Australia some of the cool power R models were different than Aussie ones and had the bonnet scoops unlike the Aussie ones that had 2 aircleaners I am not sure all NZ Macks came from Australia Im fairly sure a few came from the US direct as did other makes as well so maybe at different times Mack NZ could get better deals from the US than Australia a lot of maybes and guesses here most are likely to be wrong LOL Paul
  3. Gudday and welcome Paul
  4. Welcome Amado sounds like you have had a good eye for a great brand of truck Paul
  5. dunno Vlad when the super liner 2 came out one of the features I was lead to believe was the fact that the cab was lifted up I think it was 2 1/2 inches or maybe it was 3 1/2 inches to try and keep the cab cooler When you are pulling hard all day in the older R model the cab floor gets so hot you cant touch any of it with bare skin it burns the bahjeebers out of you So maybe when the cab was lifted they made the mud guards hang down a bit further and the headlights to comply as well dunno all a guess from me Paul
  6. I wonder if like a 4x4 that have the steering damper to stop the wheels flopping from side to side if hitting the pot hole just on the edge some induced the very thing that happens on a 4x4 that has the damper to stop it happening Im not sure why 4x4's need these and trucks dont Im just having guess I have no idea on any of this stuff Paul
  7. thats a Cruise Liner some pure porn in Australia they came after the FR model and the FR is a F model on a R chassis
  8. Hmm I have only just stumbled across this sounds like something is wrong with the tail shaft uni's crook spline and as you said above the carrier bearing sounds like the shaft is winding up a bit before it drives if that makes any sense Paul
  9. Dunno Vlad they all look the same to me except for the yanky one but I might not be looking at the right thing The blue and white one has stainless skirts screwed on around the bottom that makes the look a bit longer bellow the lights but as I said I may not be looking at the right thing Paul
  10. looks very shiney mate almost as much shine as the top of my head on hot day Paul
  11. into Oklahoma in surrey with a fringe in top ??? that dune buggy looks it could be good fun looks nice and green in Oklahoma is it always that green ?? Paul
  12. check the bolt that holds the yoke to transmission out put shaft they have been known to come loose Paul
  13. Timmy sounds like you might need to get the gas axe out and adjust to suit
  14. Welcome to forum John it looks like a nifty little truck good turning circle Paul
  15. not many answers from me Tim more questions than answers So did you get a big 10 gallon hat for Texas ?? howdy pardner LOL and when you wake up in the morning do you say "how do little Missy ?" Paul

  21. Marmite on the camera lenses I take it not really sunset at all LOL interesting double tanker job there is that turnpike double or some such thing ???? Paul
  22. not spam now that would be a crime
  23. good collection of stuff there its a shame they dont have enclosed sheds there as the sun buggers just about everything out there might get out there one day for a look my self Paul
  24. why dont you fix the transmission the Mack 12 speed is pretty simple to work on if I can work on them anyone can !!!!!!!! they are fairly cheap to fix and everything will still line up eg Tail shaft mounts air lines ect ect I feel it would be a lot cheaper in the short and long run Paul
  25. NEWS FLASH Maikshilo breaks silence threatens family isnt beaten yet with their plan to Marmite the world master criminal picks inconspicuous car that will blend into anything Paul
