    If he moved it that much already, I don't think the autostops are gonna be much good.

    Like anyone else here, not trying to be discouraging. As of late another thing you may need to consider with an older truck is if you'll be able to work anywhere with it. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but any federal money spent on construction may very well have some kind of stipulations about compliance of equipment on those jobs. Then you'll be stuck with an old truck no one will have much use for. 2021 is not the best time to start out in this game, and no offence but some of the questions you ask suggest you're not in a position to be the lucky guy who makes it.

    You guys get the cool trucks, at the rate we're going here our trucks are going to resemble a Hoover vacuum cleaner

    Never really thought about a tractor pulling a mixer. Now I can almost remember one on the Mack calendar for December 2020. Wonder why they haven't caught on in New York ??? seems a 117K should be able to move some concrete .

    I see. Truck looks like it's in good shape.

    What's the pump (?) on the front for ?
  7. Mark T
    (lol) Can't believe how it looks ? I'm not surprised how it looks. I think back to when someone questioned if parts of it were stored in the house. Your response was " the wife might get upset " (or something to that effect) so at some point you must have thought about bringing it in ? ?? (lol) No surprise at all it's coming out nice

    You have to love the seeing the fan's reflection in that right side door. Truck's coming out fantastic, nice work.

    Holy cow (lol) just a though. Any spin'n at all with no oil isn't gonna help it. Guy found a nice old Mack there, I'd like to see him fire it up with no troubles and have some fun with it. I doubt that truck has ever moved at the speed that Peterbilt'll be drag'n it down the road at.

    Mack likes to call it "silastic"

    I would think those stacks should be covered so as not to damage the turbo

    Vlad was curious, sorta makes that B an international sensation .

    I could be wrong, but I do believe that is the legionary 237 complete with Jacob's engine brake .
  14. Mark T
    If you do install a Jake (?) don't be afraid to set the lash about 20 or 30 thousands more than what's it's supposed to be. You can sneak a little more retarding power out of it. IDK ?? if the truck has a low axle ratio (like your's) it might not be a total waste of time. They're better than nothing, but not much (lol)

    I just got a new laptop. Somehow your pictures went to a even higher lever of WOW thanks for posting Project is coming out fantastic from the looks of it.
  16. Mark T
    That's my point, they run indefinitely if taken care of and little stuff doesn't snowball. But without being familiar with the trucks history ?
  17. Mark T
    Nevermind the miles, how many hours are on it ? Old truck up over 20000 hours ? If nothing was ever done to it, it's at the point anything could happen....and that includes rub'n like a Swiss watch a while longer. Personally, I don't think there's a black or white answer to your question.
  18. Mark T
    Wow. maybe some chrome naked ladies and script that says " haul'n ass " those items would go along well with the bulldog with lighted eyes fro JC Whitney (lol)........and of coarse a No Lot Lizards sticker
  19. Mark T
    Don't both locations have a diagram folded up and in a plastic thing like a shipping label stuck on them ?
  20. Mark T
    that's what I said (lol) or was trying to say
  21. Mark T
    Ha.... if it was back when I had the RW in my avitar I'd be jump'n on swap'n with you
  22. Mark T
    I believe you'll want a 12.25 X 22.5 rim. But as far as what offset will end up working ?? That's a little more specific to the truck.
  23. Mark T
    Don't forget you're going to need the 20" if you plan on using wide base steering tires (425s) That picture has 22" and 20" in it . You'll need these guys
  24. Mark T
    The ratio is stamped on the pinion if you can see it . There's two numbers, the lower one you divide in the higher one.... it's the number of teeth on the ring and pinion.
  25. Mark T
    Probably has numbers on the pinion. If it's not covered in dirty grease (which will come off easily) you'll see two numbers on it that'll suddenly make a lot of sense to divide 😉
