  1. Nevermind the tractor with the bridge beam. How about someone explaining to me why I find those International Transtars to be so appealing . Back when they were common, I'd never have given one a second look.

    Shop Talk

    Impressive..... in a weird kinda way.
  3. Diamond T.... yes. Diamond Reo used it too. Funny when White acquired it all they never used this design, and instead made that 5000 series . I think these were also called "china closets"
  4. I believe that was what was referred to as a bustle back sleeper.
  5. You're probably not far off either
  6. Perfect.... diverse , too young to actually be effective and...... emission free vehicles . Talk about checks all the boxes
  7. Someone figured out too that the longer a truck sits as the warranty runs out, the less chance they gotta cover something.
  8. I had one of these that acted similar. Engine had worn rings. Loaded the EGR cooler with oily gook and restricted it's flow. These things are filthy cause of the EGR. I cleaned it all out and avoided any kind of idling. That one is still running, guy uses it as a extra truck. I'd pressure test the cap (like mentioned earlier) they do go bad and faster than you might think. How they could ruin anything as nice as an E Tech still makes me wonder.
  9. Doubt a Roadway woulda had 44s in it.
  10. DEF is basically mostly water. It's like 32.5% urea (or something like that)
  11. I'd like to see more of that truck.
  12. There were a couple LT or LTLs in Wheels of Time with Mack transmissions and an auxiliary behind them. That picture looks like a B cab.
  13. I think one of the reasons they split like that has something to do with cooling off the fuel too.
  14. IDK about pant length, but I would like to know more about the truck in the picture with the three sticks.
  15. Maybe you could try putting an Amway sign up. That's often enough to keep people away, or Mona Via
  16. In Canada , they're all triple digit trucks aren't they ? or at least by the metric system they are.
  17. Shelby Elliott'd be lick'n his chops look'n at a truck with that much sleeper
  18. That U looks like it's parked next to an extended hood White Road Boss
  19. Funny how that works. Seems like for some reason you feel more in charge or secure (or something) in a truck.
  20. I know..... that manifold was something. I had a good feeling about that guy when I saw the picture of him tig welding by the highly flammables in the shop. They did go through that truck like a house on fire. Often wondered what ever happened afterwards.
  21. Yes it was (G)as (O)n it (A)nd (L)eave
  22. I thought the husband was an airplane mechanic . Guy was pretty talented whatever he does.
  23. Then the truck took off row'n gears. Usually that would be something you'd expect to see with a truck with some form of automated transmission. Still. Not too far from reality in ways, even if it wasn't
  24. I have my doubts it real . Even at that, it's funny as hell and unfortunately not extremely overdone. It's not hard to think of a time seeing someone keep trying something over several times in situations they get into.
