I'd look at the cable. It should make a nice curved ark and not be shoved out of the way or anything like that. Maybe even disconnect it from the release lever on the clutch housing and see how it feels unhooked. It's not impossible it needs to be replaced .

I believe I've heard those referred to as " 50 s "

I kinda think (wild guess) he's talking about Haldex slacks on a Mack. Sounds kinda like what they do when the cams and bushings were worn and the serated ring for the adjustment is rounded off. Again, just a guess.

You're probably thinking of the 5000 . I often thought for as many Whites as used to be around, it's odd they're a rare sight today. All models , cause rhey had several.

Ahhhhh......look at all those hometown celebrities in that picture.

This fella didn't list anywhere near enough info about what kind of slacks he's talking about, or better yet pictures. !!! stay outta his way !!! (lol)

Whites (3000s) were pretty popular. I agree with Bob, several were garbage trucks around here when I was a kid. Several were something else too. I think that the engines were the reason White aquired REO. They may not be the absolute hardest thing to find parts for. Engine wise anyway, the truck ??? I haven't seen one in years, even sitting around .

I can assure you the susspension out of the CH has no idea what it's holding up. Long as everything travels within it's limits and pinion angle is correct..... it'll work.

Sometimes with stripper, it helps to scratch into the paint with some 40 grit sandpaper. Not so much as to sand it , but to get some deep scratches into the paint being stripped. It helps the stripper do it's thing. Espesially if there's several coats of paint to remove.

Geeze, at a glance I thought that was leteesha james.

Sorry to hear about all the troubles you've been having. That cab looks to be in decent shape. I'm not so sure sand blasting is the thing to do to it. Blasting ? yes, but I think a different media would be the way to go and avoid damamging it. Any way you went about that (soda blast walnut shells) Vlad's correct, no need to go through sanding it before blasting. If you're thinking something on it until blasting ? I'd wipe it down good with acetone or something, blow it off good and get a few spray cans of XO Rust or something. Again, blasting would eat through that like nothing. Sand ???? Sometimes isn't the hot ticket on sheet metal, tends to warp it from heat , it's more aggresive than 60 year old sheet metal cares to deal with.

She'll be needing them herself when michelle (mike) is her new boss in November

That's not a V8 thing. Superliner 1s had a different arrangement with the frame in the front and the steering box is mounted on the steering axle itself. I'd imagine by now it'd be virtually impossible finding parts related to that setup.

That's one of Mack's not so great ideas about where a steering box goes.

That looks like it was a win win for all involved.

Fanny needs a hug is all. She's angry, discriminated against, racially profiled. Meanwhile she's making a speech about how she's not on trial. This moron doesn't even acknowledge the fact she IS on trial. ( where's woopie ?) After all's said and done, she's gonna write a book ( with her ghost writer ) and do the liberal talk show circuit. Am I the only guy that notices this ?

They use them on several things on Macks. That truck is loaded with oil , gonna be hard to clean that out.

You saw that too ? Lots of goodies there. I could go on for hours mentioning things I saw in the pictures.

That's a regulator. It's leaking because it's shot, and it's shot because it's loaded with oil. This might be the first thing to give up on this truck, but there's more coming with that much oil in the air system(s)

Hoard ???? you wouldn't be calling it that if that was in your garage. you're just jelly 😂 I know I am

🤢 granny panties

I think it is on the low side. I don't know what the market will bare where you live. I know there's fewer and fewer guys doing anything with Macks here. (older or newer) Grey engines are either no one touches them, or if you're lucky you know a guy. I'm sure you know what you want for your time and all, but that number is way more than fair to a customer for what you're doing .

Holy cow, you're May finish date shouldn't be a problem at all at the rate you're going.

Don't sell yourself short. There's a need for the services you can provide. Now finding those people that need them ??? Whole other story.

Can't go from playing candy crush to diagnosing issues with a truck. For the money they're talking about ? seems there's better ways to approach the customer other than ( we'll just keep charging you for whatever ) like maybe turning down the job in the first place. I agree everyone has to learn, but so many of these guys don't learn. So we pay and pay and pay for nothing . Then here we get to pay for student loans for someone else who likely learned nothing. Sorry to go off here , but more and more you see this nonsense. Take a truck for repairs , don't get them and more often than not be told you're wrong for expecting them. It's a strange new way of conducting affairs, and hard to adjust to.
