    welcome to BMT. by any chance did you mean Reed Valves? if so, no. Reed Valves were used in two stroke engines, not four stroke engines.

    don't know if Mack did, but there are companies out there that converted them. Marmon Harrington is one. nu yawk city had a few they used in the landfills as lowboy tractors for pulling broken dozers off the workface back to the shops. they also had allison transmissions in them.

    it means coolant level is low. the low coolant sensor is about 3 or 4 inches or so down in the radiator. when cold the coolant level is lower than when hot. a gallon or so should turn the light off. there is a hot and cold level on the fill tank.

    America used more coal to fire power plants in 2021 than it has since 2014. so i would say that is probably true.

    ouch!!!!

    they are not for the poor. they are being installed so the case workers can charge their duracells when they visit to give away free stuff to ensure they vote for demonrats.

    first thing i would look for is rust/rot at welds and suspension connections. also cracks in the main beams.

    and they will all come back positive, because they do not make money on a negative test. i stopped at the condo to check the mail on the way home. government letter addressed to dad. you guessed it, he has to quarantine cause he has the BS flu. and he died 18 months ago. i am going to call the county health department tomorrow and ask how dead people can test positive.

    yup. it is much more important to arrest people that are trying to get something to eat without the poison in their systems than it is to arrest the "peaceful protesters" that are stealing anything that is not bolted down.

    That are mailing out the 500 million kits that will not be allowed to be used after Saturday because they do not work.. This way the government will still pay themselves for the test kits

    there are A LOT of idiots out there that are proud to admit they voted for the brain dead moron simply because he is not Donald Trump.

    when my 05 did that it was a bad AC high pressure switch.
  13. tjc transport
    yup. the us macks had the same dash dimmer switch. DM, R, RD, and superliner all had them. i cant remember if the B815 had one though. i want to say yes it did, but not sure.

    I love REAL Mexican food. But the past 10 years or so it don't like me. ANYTHING with peppers will give me severe heartburn for at least two days.

    And so far, the only people showing up with this are the fully vaxed and boostered.

    Pretty lady. Is that a hydraulic tank for a "wet line" on the passenger side between fuel tank and rears?

    i had to switch from my old friend the first generation S&W 4506 to a EZ9 because i could no longer rack the slide on the 45 to load it.

    i am having the same arthritis issue too. plus no grip strength. i have dropped 6 coffee cups so far. my daughter get me a 24 ounce hot/cold stainless mug with a big handle. only real issue is it is not spill proof, so i still have to watch what i do with it.

    it tows the boat/trailer easily because the ramp is 1 mile down the road. and as far as powering the house during a power failure, not to worry,. the power will be back on in two hours to recharge the batteries.

    nu yawk MTA bridge authority has their own silly laws. i have 275 wheelbase(i think it is) and still am only legal for 11.5 ton. anywhere else in New York, Penn, Connecticut, or New Jersey i am legal 21.5 ton. but nu yawk city, NOPE 11.5 ton. and if i have the three axle trailer out back i am legal for 80,000 lbs anywhere but in the city. in city i am still only allowed 53,000 with the trailer. they do not recognize the manufacturers 25 ton weight rating of the trailer either. they say it is only good for 10 ton.

    no foul JoJo. 👍

    yup. if the pusher axle is not at least 9 foot away from steering axle center line to center line, it is not considered an axle by nu yawk bridge nazi's. and they do not acknowledged manufactures weight specs either. my T880 is listed as 86,000 GVW. the bridge cops say my triaxle is only a tandem because the pusher axle is only 8.5 foot center to center of the steering axle. i can only carry 11.5 ton for a total weight of 53,000 lbs and that Kenworth does no know what they are talking about.
  23. tjc transport
    Paul, the long long long frame is for bridge weight distribution. and to make it impossible to drive in the city.
  24. tjc transport
    yup. and the worse part is, he will find someone with more money than brains that will believe the "sell" and buy it.

    he is a truck broker. he sells trucks for commission.
