  1. am like a bad penny. always around when you least want me to be!! 😁
  2. welcome to BMT!!! wise ones.... you must have been reading Joey Mack talking about himself.. again. will you die trying to fix it? probably not. but make sure you have a very large supply of band aids and mercurochrome to staunch the bleeding from all the cuts you will inflict on your arms and hands. 🤣 please be patient, and someone much wiser than me at fixin these beauties will be along t help you. (i dont fix them, i drive and break them)
  3. Martian Luther King is rolling over in his grave. 50 years of work on his part has gone in the sheiter thanks to obummer and pedo joe.
  4. ok. that rite there gave you a few more attaboys added to your reputation!!!
  5. buy that boy an extra scoop of ice cream from me!!!
  6. I prefer "dimmer than a three watt light bulb............in a power failure"
  7. i think my grand daughter has been spending too much time with me. the dog went outside and she was watching from the door. than i heard "pop pop, penny is slidin a biden" i think i may have to treat her to an extra scoop of ice cream. 🤣
  8. Mack trucks were offered with cummins engines for many many years. so the only insult was suggesting the petercar or kennywhopper. although i will say the new T880 with 600 HP X15 cummins is a powerhouse!
  9. thats it!!! UGLY, not the beast. i was going from memory as i have not been out that way in about 10 years. it lives out front as "yard art" but goes out as needed.
  10. i wonder if that was a Guaranteed rig? they still have a giant Oshkosh in their fleet. if i remember correctly it is named "the beast"
  11. Bob, that is called acupressure. same principle as acupuncture, but the therapist uses finger on the pressure points instead of needles stuck into them
  12. not an E9, but a 2001 E7 400.. if i let it idle it would "wet stack" something fierce. 20 minutes would leave the engine covered with oil from either #1 or #2 cylinder( i forget which one) exhaust manifold bolts. if i kicked idle up to over 900 RPM it would no longer wet stack
  13. i have a better idea. we invent a time machine, than go back in time and give clintons, bidens, soros, harris, and obamas parent condoms with strict instructions that if they do not use them and produce offspring they will be thrown in a pit full of hungry lions.
  14. that light blue one is an exotic model and you will never be able to afford the very high maintenance costs.
  15. i remembered i am a modoratorer and could look up peoples email addresses... i guess i ain't totally senile like my daughter says i am................yet.
  16. Sarah replied she and skippy are doing fine, and she will be checking in with us soon.
  17. email sent to her asking how she and "skippy" are doing.
  18. you can run the 285 turbo on a 237, but it will run much better if you turn the fuel up a bit.
  19. Yup, 6 reverse. Really freaks dump spotters out to see a dump truck coming at them 45 mph in reverse.
  20. Old company had a rod come out the block and take #2injector with it. New engine installed, and 10,000 miles later something inside broke and spit #2and#3 injectors off the block. Next new engine popped with less than 15,000 miles. Replacd driver with #4 engine and no more issues.
  21. back when i ran the "mud stick" if i had a heavy load on an uphill start, i would do 1-2-3 low then 2-3-4-5 high the split from 3 low to 2 high would give me a little more than a half gear to get some speed going. i did this mostly with the low boy which had a 237 and mud stick in that 79 DM-800. truck has a top speed of 52 MPH it also had 14-24 tires on it. tandem tractor and three axle trailer. but anything over around 40 MPH was scary being 10.5 foot wide with a 25 foot long deck i was legal for around 215,000 lbs. truck empty weighed 78,000 lbs. with a machine on i would very rarely go over 25 mph. mostly hauled a 135 cat excavator and D8H or D8-K with that rig.
  22. unfortunately there are WAY TOO MANY people without two living brain cells to rub together that believe not only did pedo joe win, but is also doing a good job and has the best plans to take America forward.
  23. the dog would be better company anyway
  24. at $181.23 for a 16 pound bird, it can sit on the store shelf and rot. i will do a pork butt on the smoker instead.
