  1. that was me too about 6 months ago. standing for more than 15-20 minutes i would loose feeling in my legs and have to sit down of at least 1/2 hour. then i lost 50 pounds. the past two weeks i was the ground man for the milling operation and walking 2-3 miles a day without any problems at all. i am currently at 252 pounds, and want to loose another 25 pounds minimum.
  2. most days my brain tells me i am still 25-30............than i try to do something stupid and my body tells me i am 168.
  3. my first paid truck job was a B-815. V8 with a quad box.
  4. Hard to believe that a 1999 car can qualify for antique plates!
  5. agreed. much better in it's current color configuration.
  6. yes that lower is an8V71. actually an upgrade from the original 671.
  7. we need pictures of the finished product!!!
  8. a good day of racing is if you win, and don't break anything. a GREAT day of racing is when you win, don't break anything, and get paid to do it!!
  9. Nothing like a two stroke Detroit screaming at the Rev limiter to let everyone in a 1 mile radius. Know you are working ... ..or playing
  10. paint looks good. the girl looks like trouble though...she could be VERY expensive.
  11. i am going to bet on a 671 lower, and 471 upper.
  12. PICTURES, OR IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!! 😁
  13. you are correct it was shrapnel. but not from a horse. it was 100% usda approved pure bullshit.
  14. Welcome to BMT Paul. There should be a plate on the drivers door with truck vehicle Informationn on it.engine should have an ID plate in the area of thee injector pump. Not sure on frame number on the cab over, but most all other Macks have the number stamped into the frame passenger side front, so I would imagine yours would be there too
  15. well there is a fellow in Australia with an 8V71 under the hood of a B61 ,so i would imagine a 6V92 would fit.
  16. The funny part is they waited too long to kick him to the curb. It is already past time to put someone on the ballots for November votes. So they are stuck with him on the ballot, unless they kill him. I mean unless he suddenly dies.
  17. He is hiding in his cellar.
  18. this post is verging on spam. and spam is not allowed on this site. this site is about mack trucks, not video editing.
  19. IDI injector pumps and injectors are only good for around 175k miles at best, more realistic they should be changed between 125-150kmiles. and putting new injectors in with a worn pump will speed up pump deterioration. i am looking at having to replace the pump and injectors again in my 88 soon.
  20. latest reports say 11 shots from three different guns.
  21. close Bob, but not quite rite: "when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp.."
  22. that is just a poor rebuilder. there are really only two people i would ever get an injector pump from anymore. Justin from R&D diesel, or Mel from moose pumps. once upon a time Pensicola diesel was good, but their rep has gone below the sewer pipes the past 10 years or so. people on the ford truck site have reported their engines running worse after installing a Pensicola "rebuilt" pump than it did before they tool the old worn out one off.
  23. Well I did stay at holiday Inn express last night . 😁
  24. Nope. Hiding him so he does not embarrass his handlers .......again
  25. my 88 IDI has had a banks turbo on it since new. was put on three weeks after i got it. it is a completely different animal after the turbo. keeps up with and sometimes passes stock 94-97 powerstrokes. flywheel left the building around 200k miles. the automatic i put in now has almost 300k miles on it. gets fluid service every 30k miles. at the last job we had around ford pickups, about equal numbers 7.3 and 6.0. one 6.4. all 4X4 with auto trans. they all had over 400k miles on them, with the 7.3's pushing closer to 600k miles. all were factory stock except one 6.0 truck that had a computer die 120 miles from home shop. was towed to local ford dealer and had a new computer installed. the 6.4 was a different story. the crank snapped at 45k miles. ford denied warranty because they did not do service on it. bought a short block, changed it and got rid of it.
