Why is the double check valve (shuttle valve) there ? That's usually used to receive air from either a foot valve or a hand valve (trolly valve) . Did the same guy that didn't have any issue welding on the frame's flanges think he could use it to send air to two different places ? Just for kicks, try gutting the check valve and see if all your issues go away.

That 1925 looks like maybe it was on some kind of tour or something that lasted 2 years ????? Thing's a hundred years old now, holy cow.

Pretty much what those guys said. Not too long ago I upset a guy sharing my opinion of them (the AMI engine) They were not Mack's best idea.

Careful commenting on AMIs 😏

It's too bad you can't find a better parts guy. But like Geoff said, try a new bearing. It just might work. By bearing I mean the outer race and all .

OMG. I didn't realize earlier. Today 1/17 is big Mike's birthday

I have questions. Do you get to call him "barry" ? Did you ask what it's like to be hit'n it with a dude ? Did you console the poor F#&k he didn't get a forth term ?

You don't hear much about that.

Well Bob, if it walks like a duck........

Love the posture of George Washington. My thoughts exactly.

Big Mike 😆 I'm a believer

her ?

Not a racist.... not a homophobe.

I'd love to know more about that trip the '25 made. I see stuff on the side of it, but can't make it out. I bet it's an interesting story.

Back before all these split draws and returns, I used to run the trucks on one tank. Just shut off the side it didn't draw and return from. Clean it out before opening it up again in the spring. Used to do a lot of Upstate New York. Might've had to stop more often for fuel, but it avoided a lot of issues.

I wondered if it was richened up to compensate for running on a mix with number one in it. Canadian trucks always seemed to run good down here. I even cut one back for a guy that had a Cummins in it. Kept burning pistons. That one you literally couldn't stay in the garage with it running.

When I was at the place, I was overwhelmed take'n it all in. There was so much on those trucks I would never have had any idea what they were like when in service up there. It was quite the experience. That was only a few miles up out of Vermont too.

I had Superliners fro Canada (eh?) I had to go back with one of them for warranty work. Those trucks had the tanks cut down for export. They did it to all of them at that place. When I was there the part that was cut off the tanks had what was basically a coil that was in the tank and the engine coolant plumbed through it. Then the engine had shutters behind the radiator and a full winter front. Guy told me the one from up Mistissini was used to being in 30 below conditions. I often wondered if that's why that truck ran so good down here. Like if it was richened up just to run right there.

I don't think terminals cut fuel anymore. Used to be a winter blend of #2 and #1 . Now the winter blend is treated chemically. I think the problem with fuel in Pennsylvania is the bio. Basically it's a form of alcohol and it draws water (like in brake fluid) I've never seen much in a filter (or any other place the actual blockage was) other than slushy/discolored goo and a waxy layer on the actual filter media. I have seen "jelled" fuel after spilling it on really cold ground, never in the truck though. I've seen guys put fuel in trucks and leave with the cap off. I've seen guys park the truck when it's 2 degrees and dump the Power Service in it after it was shut off. A little instruction on prevention is often ignored.

Seriously..... these guys get'n waterboarded'll make a public spectacle outta cut'n someone's head off. Then some politician is gonna judge a man sent to deal with these wackos ? WTF is wrong with these people ? Then the same ones that judge the guy in the service allow all these drugs and low lifes in the country, not to mention allowing ten year old kids to be mutilated. The arrogance of these scum bags sickens me. Like picture chuck shumer interogating an isis operative. WTF. this insanity has to end

That housing is probably a more popular 23,000 pound Meritor or Rockwell piece than the mystery hub is making you think.

WTF do these retards think is gonna work ? Maybe they should find out their pronouns then politely ask to give up the information ? Maybe offer them something from starbucks ? These clowns making accusations ? What do they think , some one makes it to the point of being waterboarded for steal'n penny candy ? All these jackoffs blaming him for stuff would likely shit in there pants if actually in front of one of these poor waterboarding "victims" Sickening

That looks like the green Jr
