  1. Vlad, the volvo in the first picture is wearing the colors of a Yellow/Roadway truck here in the states.
  2. thanks for that JT, i thought they said it was the father. i used to deliver top soil to them off the jobs that was not going to be reused.
  3. interesting to see the Holmdel Nursery trucks there, i was told they sold all of them after the owner died 3 years ago.
  4. i wonder how loud the same people who think obumper care is the best think since sliced bread would scream bloody murder if they lost their privately paid for free health insurance and had to pay for it out of pocket through the abortion the rest of us have had forced down our throats?
  5. while this may be true, the real truth to this fact is it is being paid for by others who actually work for a living . get rid of obozocare and let health insurance be run by companies not the government. if you want it pay for it. if you can't pay for it, get off welfare and get a freakin job.
  6. that ain't rust, that is "character"
  7. that started around 5 or so years ago. i guess evilbay figured people were too stupid to search for what they were looking for, and would buy whatever was in front of them. that was the main reason i stopped using evilbay. search for 65 falcon hardtop left wing window and get 15,000 listings for everything but a 65 falcon hardtop left wing window.
  8. As was already said, Scania still sells cabover trucks in the United Sates. so does Mack and Freightliner. Kenworth and Peterbilt make medium duty cab overs too. Cabovers are just not a popular anymore because the overall vehicle length restrictions are longer than they were 30 years ago.
  9. jack and coke over cookies and milk?? i like your choice of "refreshment"
  10. copy the link, and paste it into the post reply box.
  11. mine is mounted bottom center of windshield behind the CB.
  12. it is different to say the least. but not bad once you get used to it.
  13. that is the electrical malfunction light. macks version of a check engine light. to retreive the fault codes: with engine running, Turn speed control switch Off, then press and hold SET/DECEL or RESUME/ACCEL switch until EML goes out. After approximately one second, the V-MAC module will begin blinking out its two-digit blink codes. The two digits of each code will be separated by a one second idle time (EML out) Each blink code digit may consist of up to nine on–off flashes. The on and off time for each flash will be 1/4 of a second. Count the EML on flashes to determine two digit blink code.
  14. that pretty much defeats the purpose of having a dash cam. it should be recording the full time the ignition is on.
  15. this is one of the reasons all trucks and cars should have dash cams.
  16. i ran a 237 with a mud stick trans for 9 months in a DM800 with an aluminum body. it would run 62 MPH at 70,000 lbs................ until you hit a hill. then it was 18 MPH up and over the hill.
  17. the bigger the box, the heavier the truck. the way it is set up now is to give proper axle weight for box size. a bigger box, would make it overweight.
  18. weight distribution.
  19. the first thing i would check is radiator coolant fluid level. if the coolant level in the radiator is low, the engine will not stay running.
  20. i am so glad i stay within 100 miles of home shop. 99.99% of the time i within 35 miles of home shop. screw them logs!!!
  21. ya should have slowed down and closed the door on him facing oncoming traffic.
  22. i have seen both petes and kenworths with mack V8 power here in joisey.
  23. not quite true. yes the city botched a water supply switch. but that did not contaminate the city water supply. it is a sad and infuriating story that has gone on for far too long, and it is quite a mess. now for the truth of the matter. Flint decided to stop buying treated water from Detroit, and draw water out of the Flint river and treat it in their own water treatment plant. what they forgot was that 99 % of the houses in Flint had lead pipes from the water mains to the houses. and the water coming out of the Flint river was "harder" than the treated water coming from Detroit. as a result, the water from the Flint river dissolved all the deposits that were lining the lead pipes in the houses, exposing the lead pipes to the water, which in turn introduced lead into the water stream. even after converting back to Detroit water, they still have lead in the water problems because of the lead pipes in the houses. the fix for this is to replace all the lines going from the mains into the houses with copper pipes. the issue is, the city is responsible for the mains. but the homeowners are responsible for the pipes from the shutoff box into the house. and since the problem with 99% of the houses are between the shut off box and the house, this makes it a homeowner problem. but the city is stepping up to the plate and replacing the lead pipes with copper at no cost to the homeowner. they just do not know how they are going to pay for it all yet.
  24. Ken Nagy. related to Almasi Trucking/Contracting. if i remember correctly, he is a son in law. he runs a few different styles of Macks
