    i have been a believer in engine brakes since i got the new 85 dm800. i almost never use brakes, even when loaded. i can bring 80,000 lbs to 15 mph with just the engine brake then use the foot brake for the final stop. my last mack still had the same brake shoes on it with 265,000 miles when we sold it. same with the Kenworths. the T800 had 320,000 miles on it and the original shoes were still good, but we changed them when replacing the "S" cam rollers before selling it.

    normal solder is lead and tin. electronics solder has a flux core, plumbers solder does not and needs flux added to the surface before applying the solder to make it stick.

    i am also a firm believer of do it rite and you will only have to do it once. when running the body shop, i would tell potential customers there is only 2 ways to do things, the rite way and the wrong way. good repairs are very rarely cheap, and cheap repairs are very rarely good. we only do things the rite way, and that is not the cheap way.

    this is a Mack truck site. for questions about that car, you would be better off asking in a European car forum, as they are sold over there not here in the United States.

    20 in my mind, 70 on the calendar. but there are times my body reminds me it is closer to 170.

    yes, you CAN kill them. you just have to know how to properly dispose of a body where you will not get caught, and it can never be found.

    Ford was in 64 with the introduction of the "green dot" C-4 trans. GM was around the same time.

    i was talking to a younger "mechanic" a few years ago about tow/push starting cars with auto trans. he said no way, cant be done!!! he just so happened to have a 59 Pontiac Catalina as a daily driver. so i challenged him. "take the battery out, and have your wrecker driver push us up to 35 MPH." they both accepted the challenge. at 35, i told him to turn the key to run, and drop the trans from neutral to drive. he was amazed when the engine started. back then, the auto trans had a live pump connected to the output shaft of the trans unlike cars today with the pump connected to the input shaft of the trans.

    i would not be surprised one bit if the mounting hardware manufacture was outsourced to a grade school in china. they have no concerns about child labor laws or quality control.

    i have been driving trucks for 57 years now. a=but i think i have only "worked" less than 20 days. i dont go to work. i go for a ride in the country, burn expensive fuel, put miles on new trucks, and piss off people behind me by driving 5-10 MPH under the posted speed limit in the right lane.
