What's the matter Jojo ??? not happy with her performance for her bought silence that our taxpayer money paid for ?

Super Ten Fullers were back in the beginning of automation and all that great stuff. Some engineers agreed there were fuel savings to be found being in direct and overdrive at the proper times. Technology wasn't so advanced at the time so basically (really basically) the ECM would shift the transmission between direct and overdrive (9th and 10th) as it was programed . Since processors and servos weren't that sophisticated (or affordable) at the time the Super Ten Top 2 made some sense on some level. They could also just be shifted by the driver if it wasn't set up to an ECM or in a truck without an ECM. By the time they marketed them and all though , they were basically obsolete because there were better mousetraps. (think Autoshift) . they also pitched it as "less shifting for the driver" Sorta like a Mack ten speed from the early '80s but the shift pattern was where it ended. Outside they looed like an old RTO 13 speed but with no range valve on the main case on it's left side. Remember when all these ideas.... low RPM high torque....less shifting.... reduced weight were all Mack ideas no one really valued at the time as they do now ?

look what you started here 🤣

That red one looks like the top flange is split on the frame.

Is it just me , or is it getting harder and harder to laugh at these things because they're for the most part true....and we're live'n it.

Wonder if the a$$hoke will brag about the first time coke was discovered in the white house.

Who's truck was that ? Sounds like a Gerossa (I should apologize for the likely misspell)

The MP 7 you ask about would clean the EM7 300's clock (in my opinion) These don't have the wallop of an old 400 HP 3406 or anything like that, but if they're in good shape ???? they're a good engine. Mackpro pretty much described it as well as could be described .

Yes yes..... NO restrictions for them breathing in through the free crack pipe they were given. Can't have those nasty NASTY carcinogens mixing in with the clean safe crack pipe. Or worse yet , a car running out of gas and blocking the EMTs from getting there in time to give the narcan out.

I know exactly what you mean. If I said what I truly want to , I'd be fired off this site like one of those Space X rockets .

TT475 😍

How about they sink or swim ? Ever get a discount for your hard work ? IDK about higher education, but the ones getting the free ride, they're smarter than me get'n by without kill'n themselves. F#$*'n joke. Can't earn a grade or pay, then you shouldn't be there in the first place.

That LE 12.9 means it's a metric grade 12.9 ( pretty hard bolt ) and LE I believe is Lake Erie (?) the manufacturer. Those 23-160s are a very good component. Odd that bolt broke and no sign it was loose. ( weird ) from your pictures, looks like there's definitely some life left in it.

Yes

Is that a locker ? If it is you'll need to cage the sliding clutch. Remove the air fitting and if I remember correctly you'll use a 3/8 fine thread bolt in through the hole you take the fitting out. Make a couple long studs same size as a bolt you remove around the carrier. When you slide the carrier out of the housing on the studs it'll be easier to balance it with one of the then exposed flange bolt holes. This component is a couple hundred pounds.

That's 2300 cubic inches of Cummins brute power there. Gonna need some big exhaust.....and a big fuel tank.

QSK38 that right there is about as close to living behind it that automatic transmission will ever be.

Thanks, nice job. Very nice of you for those of us who weren't there.

That black truck is a beauty.

Is this by any chance a reman clutch ? Do you have a good transmission jack ??

It's a beautiful dump truck. I also just happened to see that H360 Brockway with the dump trailer out by The Beacon Bridge on RT 84. It was something seeing it in the area it would have been working in 45 years ago.

OD I wasn't fast enough earlier today to get the picture. Saw one of your favorite Bs going up Route 222 today headed to the show ( that black dump truck with the red frame ) Cool seeing it in action like that.

Looks like some form of a Cummins QSK38 (V12 size of 2 6 cylinder KTs, as opposed to the 1710 V12 2 855s)

Vlad.... you're kill'n it here. Where do you get these pictures ? Impressive knowledge of RWs too. I can relate to the model thing too.

If this is the same truck ???? just a couple things you mentioned don't sound right. Heavy spec aluminum frame ???? tri-drive ? I said it somewhat in jest about the pictures. (but God help us..... we love pictures) They really would be a great help for some input on this truck you're wondering about.
