    how about an option to downsize things like sections you never look at so they do not pop up on the screen every time? also an option to set page color and print color? for some with vision issues the black with white print is like stabbing an ice pick in the eyeball even for the few seconds it takes to scroll past it. never mind, i just found the post about themes and figured out how to change back to the one from yesterday.

    oh, ok. thanks. i did not see it because i had screen size set a little too big and it cut the rite side out.

    how about a mark all forums read button. ?
  4. tjc transport
    i thought the interwebs found out we sold the mack testerday and i moved up to the kenworth and banned my from BMT!!!
  5. tjc transport
    and location?
  6. tjc transport
    probably just a coincidence the names look the same.

    yup,a lot of people do not realize that. a 12 24.5 is almost 1 inch taller than a 11 24.5 and has a much higher weight rating. i run 12 24.5 rubber on the 05 CV713. makes a big difference in the way the truck rides.

    damn stupid autocorrect. that should read CHIP- SEAL
  9. tjc transport
    12X24 rims on that one. they are split rims on that truck.. 24.5 are one piece rims.
  10. tjc transport
    they still do ship-seal here in the states too. though not nearly as much as they did 30-40 years ago.

    same tip i use. i apply the ospho with a weed sprayer set on mist. give it a good coat and wait 24 hours. it will turn a dull black color if properly treated. i usually give 2 good coats just to be sure everything gets treated. once treated and dry for at least 24 hours i prime. the test patch i did on an old piece of 5/8 diamond plate that was out in the weather for close to 20 years stayed that dull black for 4 years after treatment before starting to show any sign of rust again

    i think our version of that truck would be the Titan

    i use pressure washer to clean rust flake off, then ospho to treat metal, then give it one or two coats of rustoleum red oxide primer cut 40% with acetone. then paint with rustoleum industrial paint cut the same 40% acetone for frames. i have not used the hardener in the paint yet, i plan on doing that on the 88 F-SuperDuty when i finish the restoration this summer.

    same here, the few we had were still under warranty, but on 300's. the heads were under warranty also. we only had 1 350 engine. the owner liked keeping everything the same so one part would fit all 20 trucks.

    the reason for the post size limit on most forums is to keep from overloading the servers. before Internet Brands bought FTE there was a very small post size limit, and if a thread reached more than 1000 posts it would put a heavy load on the servers when multiple threads that large would try to load at the same time. so we would split threads and close the old ones at around 500 posts to keep from overloading the servers. then IB came aboard and revamped everything with their very large server farms and eliminated the problems.

    saw that a few times also. but by far we had more bad heads. probably 10 bad heads compared to 2 or 3 bad wafers on the lifter.

    the big problems we had with the late 80's 300 engines was with the rocker bosses snapping off the head when a jake brake was used. the replacement heads had no problems.

    got a link to it? i cant find it on the site

    i knew a guy years ago that used to buy mack trucks out of canada that were speced very light so he could carry 23-24 ton in a tandem. single frame, light rears and front axle. his reasoning was he only did on road work delivering stock from quarries to asphalt plants, never ever drove off road so he did not need heavy rears. and he would replace the truck every 5 years before he had frame problems. the last one he bought was a 89 superliner that only weighed 24,000 lbs full of fuel..

    had that happen back in 88 in Red Bank NJ. crackhead forgot to lift the plow as he was crossing the railroad tracks doing 35PH, and the cutting edge hit the rail perfectly. stood a V-8 powered 75 DM800 straight up in the air. had to get a crane to lift the truck off the plow and put it on the lowboy so i could bring it home. it also ripped the front axle out of the truck, and almost knocked the fuel tanks off.

    no need to worry about that, i can not pay more for health insurance than i make. i have been on disability since the beginning of december. well, that is a misnomer. i have been disabled since then. i have not gotten any money since then either. me skin is not the rite color, and i speak english.

    thanks. my friend has a sick sense of humor, and she has a picture section on her facebook page full of swift "oopsies"
  24. tjc transport
    got a link for the swift pic? i want to send it to a friend.
  25. tjc transport
    why am i not surprised to see a fed ex truck in the front of the mess? i wonder when the rocket scientist are going to get it through their thick coconuts that they have to slow the hell down when the weather and road conditions are bad?
