(lol)  well at least now it's making some sense .  If it's a Jacobs (Jake Brake)  there's not going to be any switch that says "exhaust brake" as mentioned by someone else here it was supposed to work with the engine brake switch .  They were  hot thing in that era .  Only thing it ever stopped for me was the turbo's life.

That's the same here.  I've never had a trailer on the dumps, but I've had them registered like that.  

Does your truck have an engine brake ?  ( Jake Brake )

We're pretty girly up here  73280 and not many places let you leave over that on a tri-axle.  More weight....more air

I've found (with dump trucks)  less air helps the ride. by less I mean like @ ten  pounds and nothing under 105 on drives.  A cheap tire ?   They never work with less than the 120 pounds.  

That's a nice Cruiseliner , someone would've been proud to pilot that back when it was new.

That's a Stealth Brake and it is intended to work in conjunction with the Jake. If it's removed (if it even still works) you may want to consider resetting the lash on the Jake. That exhaust brake enables it to have a larger lash than a non exhaust brake should (should ) have. 

When the cucumber chick is as old as the F...... he'll have the same chances then

Mid to upper fifties at best

No link there Tom. Only the girl choosing a cucumber.

She's nice difinitely. I mean the F-model definitely.

Just click on the picture and scroll down, Took me a couple times to figure it out. 

Just a suggestion, but maybe there's a similar pickup that needs an engine or something with a better body and frame ?  Might be easier to swap engines or running gear ?  and something that doesn't run isn't worth much more than scrap at best.  and speaking of better bodies.......

Those cabs are pretty common. They were for many years on the heavier trucks. I think it'd be cheaper to find a cab then to repair yours. 

Looks like an easy one to match the paint on too.  I agree, replacing it would be easier in the long run.

What a tease.....we're gonna need more pictures.   Every one of those pieces in that picture are cool. 

Why not just buy new ones ?  Here's a VIN  CTP 713B 001778

If you can remember these in Mack dealers and magazines  (yes magazines) , does that mean you're old now ? 

Those caps for Mack 46s (6 hole axles) aren't the easiest to find around here. I don't even remember ever seeing stainless ones. I'm looking for them myself. (chrome or stainless)

That's not a "voltage" light, it's an electronic malfunction light. Truck's trying to tell you it thinks something's wrong with it.....and likely NOT a voltage issue.

For what it's worth, there were some gorgeous Macks headed south on Route 222 in Pennsylvania today.

Is it safe to assume the bolts around the bell housing are all tight ?  and it's all the way in the flange around the bell housing .  Sounds like the transmission hasn't been in very long, and something is out of line 

Yes, 44,000 pound Mack axles.   Seen plenty of them turned into junk.  ( FYI  the ones they call 46000 pound as well )
