Disconnecting the puff limiter makes no difference to power once boost is established So the only difference is on initial take off, once your rolling and making boost all is good and there's only a slight puff between shifts with or without the puff limiter working Most times that a big difference is felt when the puff limiter is disconnected it is because it wasn't working right There's a lot of myths and bullshit spoken about these If you disconnect them all you do is wash the oil off the bores and pistons, shorten the life of your motor and upset Greta Thornburg If they are set up right and working correctly there is no difference at all once your moving Also to add to the bullshit pile, these only have an effect in some gears, these arent your highway gears These were a well thought out bit of gear that did the job Paul

I reckon it is in a lot of knock shops 😂 Paul

Well my faithful side kick had a falling from grace the two nights ago Miss Molly the border collie had a altercation with god only knows what, but it sorted her out good and propper All I know is there was a hell of a commotion at 1.00 am Anyway she was cut down down to the bone and was a little shaken in the morning Must of been a cut a couple of inches long Off to the vets to get patched up 11 stitches later and she is looking very different with her hair cut Anyway, the Princess isn't to impressed with Molly's new look (lucky she hasn't seen the vet bill) and Molly isnt to impressed with having to ware a bucket on here head So Captain Cone Head aka Miss Molly has lost here good looks for a few weeks Still buggered if I know what happened and Molly isnt forthcoming with any details Paul

Looks good to me Paul

Try Bergstrom brand of roof top AC, they look pretty https://truckerac.com/50-9720.html Maybe of some help as well Paul

That's looking good Paul

Well better to discover this now than later And you got to have lunch with your brother so thats a bonus Paul

Is this what you jokers had in mind ?? Paul

Looks like a bit of liner to me I hope Im wrong Paul

I think that value for money in Australia at least White and Louisville were unbeatable in long distance interstate type of trucks You got the tough and proven American drive line, you got it quick and at a good price Mack there was and still is a long wait as is Kenworth And I also think the likes of White were really keen to fill order books and as such did good deals The cabs on both weren't as good as Mack or Kenworth and we can tell that by just how many didn't survive compared to Mack and Kenworth, Kenworth cabs appear to of survived a lot better than Mack International sold well but with all the drama of IH in America I think made a lot of customers nervous Paul

You know if the cab was good and not butchered it would fetch that just for the cab in Australia Im not knocking it but the proportions aren't to my liking I doubt that even if I lived next door to it I would buy it, not my cup of tea Paul

Im of no help here, any further details to what you actually have, as in size and what that us a photo of ? Looks a bit like the trunion stand that bolts to the outside of the chassis rail but I dunno from that photo Take a step or two back and get a bit more in the picture so we at least know the type of suspension you have Paul

Nothing for me to add except it gave me a chuckle Paul

Heck Im gunna put them on the big screen and watch them while having breaky Hmmmm bacon Paul

Whites were big in Australia and the RoadBoss was at a guess the most popular of it's time in that size truck, maybe Louisville was more popular but it was either one of those two Some evening entertainment from Australia for you all over in Yanky land And it's even almost on topic 🦘🦘 Paul

Well I can report back, it translates perfectly TV was once this style in Australia but all the reality TV these day is garbage And the news just isnt news at all Simple shows when we could lauph at our selves and not get offended by every little thing Anyway back to the show, yes a pickup or ute as we once called them out here really does wear it's battle scars proudly Housemoving has always amazed me, dunno why, but it has I'm gunna watch some more I'm embarrassed to say that I had to look up were Nebraska is as I had no idea, I'm guessing parts of it must get snow but really don't know Thanks for sharing, loved it and it gave me chuckle in a good way Paul

That's gunna be todays entertainment for me I'll report back on how it translates to Australian 😄 Paul

Joey Darrell Lea make all that good gear that isnt really that goos for us according to the doctor's Rocky Road of theirs would be onebof my favorites or is it, oh never mind, when it comes to stuff like that it's hard for me to not like any of it Paul

MACK 321 you really need to disassemble the whole shooting match and go thru it from front to back If you dont know were everything is at you need to start at the start so you actually know all is okay with each component that makes up the braking system other wise your just guessing like us what is right and wrong And am I'm trying my hardest to not come across as rude and been a smart ass, I am genuinely trying to help and explain what I would do Paul

Now I'm a bit of a train nut as well as a truck nut My Uncle made these B Class Bulldogs, he takes them all over Australia to different model train events He also has made all the rolling stock for them as well as other locos They are 7 1/4 inch guage They have been in parades and on show and the like When I say he made them, he made every bit of them from from to back The bodies the molds the bogies and everything Full air brakes the lot A very clever person is my Uncle

Need to sort the basics out first, do what has been suggested If it was my truck I would 1) pull all 4 brake drums and brakes apart 2) pull all 4 S cams right out and clean bushes etc out spotless 3) compare all 4 sets of shoes rollers etc to compare if all are the same 4) reassemble brake assemblies making sure all cans are in the correct holes for slack adjusters 5) make sure all slack adjusters are of the same length 6) make sure all rod angles to slack adjust ratios are correct 7) measure drums etc and make sure the match the shoes 😎 reassemble and adjust, before the wheels go on If the truck is aired up, release the brakes and you can pull rods on the maxi cans by hand to see how much travel is actually there You can also feel if anything is binding by doing this For all I know the other brakes aren't even working due to been out of adjustment and the reason this one locks is it is the only brake still working Truck would be in my open air work shop right away until I got this sorted Of course it isn't my truck Mack 321 you really need to start looking into this more seriously Paul

Slack adjuster to push rod angle looks like it's past 90 degrees Maybe just camera angle Paul

It sure isnt my cup of tea, does nothing for me but make me sad Paul

Yeah Bob, I don't quite understand this world anymore Most of work I do, well all of it really I have to be 00 for alcohol and drug free and am expect to take a drug and alcohol test at any stage for no reason at all Yet the bludgers on welfare get their handouts from the government and don't have tyo prove they are sober and drug free And those same bludgers get free needles and "safe injecting rooms", what ever they are yet people working that need needles because they have a illness like diabetes or some other chronic condition have to pay for their needles The world's gone mad And no matter what anyone says,drug addiction is a choice not a illness Phew, almost got a rant going then, I'll get down off my soap box and take myself to the naughty corner Paul

They are the only axles I have with springs like those The dolley those axles are on is the most modern thing I own, I noticed when I was at Maxi parts (big truck parts supply chain in Australia) that all new axles they have also have these springs I reckon those springs are a good idea but wonder if proper maintenance would alleviate the need for springs The axles are K Hitch brand, pretty sure they are Chinese but are on a lot of trailers these days out here I have never had a drama with them Paul
