  1. in new yawk you must have them, plus one to see across the front of the truck.
  2. yesterday. i had the hood mirrors on the macks for past 40 years, after i moved to the T800 3 years ago it took me about 3 months to get used to not having them. now with the new T880, i really do not miss then because of the way the truck is set up. the only real blind spot is about two foot around the passenger side bumper guide pole. my bigger problem is the new 65 mph mandate for large trucks. i limit out at 65 mph, but all the steering wheel holders are still doing 80 +
  3. it must be done online now. i log in and first question is this for address on letter. my answer is no. ok, can't file got to call. i call the 800 number. person asks the address, and i give to him. well that is the address on the envelope. ah no, that address is 5 miles, two town away in a different county. oh. what is your phone number i don't have a phone where are you calling from pay phone. oh well how do we get in touch with you send a letter. a few questions later, race white. nationality American. no, where are you from America where are your parents from america, just their parents, and their parent too. well where were your 4 times grandparents from. me: how the hell should i know, i was not born yet. oh. the questions ended with that one.

  4. that detroit needs the mufflers removed, and larger pipes!!
  5. many years ago there was a paving company that used a v8 superliner to pull the lowboy. it was named "thumper" and lived up to it's name. you could hear it coming with a load 1/2 mile away.
  6. you talking about the "thump" of the exhaust note? that is a distinguishing note of a V8 diesel.
  7. nothing better than laying in bad as a youngun with the window open, listening to the trucks out on the highway. yuo could always tell the detroits going by. and every now and they we would be treated to the unforgettable "thump "of a V8 powered mack.
  8. a lot Vlad. i remember the Newark NJ terminal. there were at least 100 there alone.
  9. a friend still has 4 of those 80's LTL's running on the road every day. they all have over 2 million miles on them, and look like hey just rolled off the assembly line. they run bulk concrete tankers, and get washed every afternoon before getting parked inside the garage. oil changed every month, and brakes adjusted every night too. once a month when oil is changed the trucks are gone over with a fine tooth comb. anything out of line is replaced immediately.
  10. WOW. the only references to pricing i found was for when it was introduced back in 2012, and the intro price was rite around $1000
  11. those human hoist creepers are way too expensive for my blood. well over $1000
  12. try being on the shooting range with a 44 mag in your hand when it decides to not want to hold anymore Larry. not fun...i thought the range safety officer was going to make an early deposit in the rear of his pants.
  13. i thought i was the only one with those problems....... i feel a little better now.
  14. i never knew the report post link was there, mainly because i rarely have the pointer in the post. and it does not show up in the top right corner unless the pointer is in the post body.
  15. i can neither confirm nor deny that alleged statement as per court order and the threat of removal from the whitless protection program.
  16. i thought that was my ex wife that sent that email...........and i never listened to anything she said.
  17. unfortunately, i lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident. they are all now on the bottom of the atlantic ocean after i got hit by a rouge wave and capsized the boat while duck hunting about 50 foot off shore a few years ago..... 😭 that's my story, and i am sticking to it!!!
  18. bloomberg is a freaking idiot.
  19. mostly here chain drive tarp is on transfer trailers with walking floor. dump trailers all have motor direct to tarp shaft, and springs to pull the twin tarp bars back just like dump trucks use.
  20. no more male/female threads. all threads are now universal.
  21. what are the plans for that beauty?
  22. they see it plain as daylight. they just don't care. their party says it is ok, so they believe the bullsheet.
  23. are the ks chiefs from kansas, or missury? if they are from kansas, there is nothing wrong with the post, even if their stadium is in another state. everyone goes nuts for the nu yawk giants and jets. even though their stadiums and corporate offices are not in nu yawk.
  24. i see nothing wrong with that? and i feel President Trumps tweets are a red dot laser pointer, and the demoncrats are his cats.
