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

You're welcome. The battery powered cucumber ? I think they're supposed to help with the climate crisis ??? There's lots of talk about battery power for that.....

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.......

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)

Zenon Hansen was the Diamond T guy prior to going to Mack.....and he booted the Bulldog in the ass.

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.

I think Volvo is coming out with that model

You might be better off .

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

Draw some attention ???(lol) This had my attention even before the fabricated exhaust manifold (which really turned it up a notch) Think it's safe to say you can cross draw attention off the list. You and your "crew" are doing an awesome job on that truck, and seem to be enjoying it already .

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

(lol) never heard of an axle break ???? Can't say it's a common thing, but it's not real uncommon . The axles with the splined plate on the end were referred to here as " full floating " used to see them with gear oil seeping out around the soft plug as they aged. You guys down under might be amused to see some of the clever solutions to fishing out the broken part of the axle shafts. Broom sticks (as mentioned) and if you were really ambitious you'd fab up a little shovel made of small exhaust pipe on a long piece of cold rolled. Then determine how much of it you were able to get out..... then determine if the carrier needed to be taken out (lol) You'd even learn the distinctive different sound the flange would make on semi-floating axles when you'd hit them to get them out . and NO.... this wasn't exclusively a Mack problem .

All of my C's ( CH..CL..CT ..CTP ) they were just a turn signal. Same light but only two wires ( and pins )

The ones under the doors ? I thought they were only turn signals in the first place

Many things come to mind from that picture 🤔
