  1. i ran one of them as a loaner when my freightliner was in the shop back in 79-80. had a 8V71 with 13 speed. shifter was broken about two inches off the floor. so they used a piece of black iron gas pipe to bring the shift head high enough to use. great truck, but it was a bear to run into the city without power steering
  2. maybe cause you are getting old and senile???
  3. Aussies have the best names for stuff. especially for what we call starting fluid. i could just imagine what the librard idiots would do if that was ever put on the market here.
  4. i actually thought it was 99, but we are both wrong according to google search: Model Year Started Year Ended CL Series 1994 2007
  5. i dont think Mack still made the CL in 07 did they?
  6. anything will fit if you have enough money and fabricating skills. you will have to change the engine management computer, and figure out the wiring to get the detroit computer to match the Mack dash. if your friend is dead set on a detroit, he would be ahead moneywise in the long run to sell the mack and get a truck already setup for the detroit.
  7. ya know Vlad, if the world had a lot more people like you over there on the other side of the pond, i bet it would be a much better place.
  8. I had a 237 juiced to around 265 that passed smoke puff test for 2005 engines. 0nly blew 5%
  9. We have a local (sorta) truck junk yard around 20 miles away. He has at least 50 Mack engines in the yard at any given time.
  10. wow!! i did not see that one, and i regularly watch Purple wave.
  11. FB Marketplace is not all that great. 80% of the posts are from scammers.
  12. years ago there was a local here in Jersey that had a W900 Kenworth with a Mack E9 V8 and 18 speed. when i saw the picture of ^this^ Mack i at first thought it was the W900. than i enlarged the pic and saw it was a Mack.
  13. the few times i have to go to conneticut i take 287 over the tappan zee instead of taking 95 through nu yawk chitty. it is around 60 miles longer drive, but take on average 2 hours less time.
  14. i see no reason not to do it. a friend here in New Jersey still runs 4 237 powered trucks every day. slow and steady keeps you out of trouble.
  15. sorry to hear about you grandmother. she had a good run at 101 years. as far as city driving goes, i just dont go into cities any more. it is bad enough out in the suburbs.
  16. must not comment...must not comment!!!🤣
  17. yea, that be redneck enough!!! 🤣
  18. no idea.....the picture is MIA.
  19. any topic that has not been knocked off the road into a ditch, than out of said ditch and across another road and through a river before the second page is full is only going to die a slow painful death...
  20. I heard your sheilas are like that too. More "hairy chested" than our sheilas are. 🤣
  21. yes Paul, castrol brand is here in the states.
  22. welcome to the dog pound. and good intro, as we like pictures!!!
