Welcome aboard, lots of great people and valuable information on this site.

Silver 92, they made alot of power with the large nozzles, and a lot of rpms, sound really nice with a gutted muffler or 2!!

Yes, I owned on for five years in a 1980 Chevy Titian....It was Rated at 365HP when I bought it (it was in OK city and I flew down and drove it home to Maine) and I had it turned up to 435HP. If I recall those were the min/max HP of that engine if all was stock. It did run very well but.........4 miles to the gallon loaded or empty was the average mpg in the entire 5 years I ran it.

Lets all pray for some blue sky and dry weather for RowdyRebel. Amen!

Prayers sent up for all of those people in the way of the flood.

Is this a trap? a trap to make me use ALL of my daily allowance of likes? I'll just BLANKET like any comments that are posted here because they do go fast on a post about our brainl.....er..fearless leader.

How about a link to....or an web address to PAI, I googled it and got a financial advisory business...thanks in advance.

Never mind.....I found it.

I don't know the mileage from the points you mention,,,But if you do, and you figured $2.50 per mile and you were willing to wait for the hauler to pickup something to fill the trailer space with that you would be fairly close to the total. I used to be in the freight hauling business but not since 1998 so I'm really not up to speed on rates now.

Mmmmmm, I guess time will tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing....in one sense it will be good to help the oil industry keep their labor force working but.....in another sense I'm not real comfortable sending the oil that we as a nation could refine and use domestically out of the country. But as we are seeing as of late keeping it all close to home has helped create a glut that has caused many,many wells to be capped, and that must mean the men working them are idle. Again, time will tell......

For one thing, it destabilizes the markets. You've noticed the stock market falling in parallel with oil prices.

If you don't put your money in the market, which I don't... why then is lower oil prices a bad thing? High oil prices destabilized MY market, the one I run my Business and household out of. I have noticed a BIG increase in my earth work business since oil prices dropped to reasonable levels and stayed there for longer than a few weeks, If the markets weren't allowed to dictate what our politicians do on a daily basis the rest of us would be far better off economy wise.

I for one, feel that the day the politicians stopped making the speculators having to take possession of the oil they bought to resell and hold it for thirty days before doing so was the day the oil companies/ speculators started dictating what our economy does at any given time. Make them turn back the clock and hold the oil they buy for that thirty day period and the swings in oil prices will drop drastically.

Now, now.....mustn't blame the 'hilderbeast' she has to be extra careful not to anger her voter base.

I prefer my lizards natural........ like the other one pictured.

Thanks everybody - great info! And yes, I bought the white one from Maine. So you've probably seen the pix from ebay, but I'll get some on here. Even my wife thinks its pretty!

You sir are one lucky dog.....owner

Looks like a Mack 510 CID, 158 HP @2400 rpm, 400 lb ft of torque @ 1000 rpm.

We are going to need pictures of the whole truck sometime. Did you buy the white one out of Maine?

Wow, 510 CID and only 158 HP....what happened there? thats a lot of room for the explosion to only develop that much umph.

...no intent at a hijack, it's a question about this engine.

Barry:

I had fifty or so pairs made up a few years ago. I sold them on E-Bay and privately. I still have a few pairs of white just like you showed above. I also have some in black with the same logo. I had some more made up with the Mack logo in chrome, left and right. Still have some left. I stopped selling them due to cost of shipping. I still trade or sell occasionally. The company that made thes up was licensed by Mack and I do not believe they had a set up charge since they still had the logo in their archives. If interested, let me know and I will see if I can find the source for you. meanwhile, I guess i could part with a few sets that I have. E-Mail to redingtonranch@vtc.net. Email sent.

I worked for Cat for several years...the early B models had some power but then they messed around with things. When we set the timing we'd advance it just a skosh and it would help a lot. The injectors and AFR make a big difference too.

Yeah, there were some early B models that ran great right out of the box, but some where along the way (like a couple of three model years they did things to them (probably smog related) that changed the power output and it seemed after that they just weren't ever as good of a design ( lots of guys had multiple head gasket/and or liner seal problems...and the step timing apparatus was a problem too.

Me in 1986 putting a 392 Hemi in my wifes 1956 Dodge Coronet.

That musta help speed up the grocery run!

Somethings weird about this....I never seen these buckets do this even on old completely worn out suspensions, convenient to have a dash cam going to capture the incident though. Glad the driver walked away and (at least it appears) there was no other injuries involved. I hope when it's determined exactly what did cause this it's shared on the BMT blog too.

On a side note it looks like the truck has a aftermarket trunnion stand/ bar installed which appears completely intact, I wonder if the installer/s reused the bucket bolts and /or rubbers/wedges and if so did that have anything to do with this?

Well, Koneta pretty much shot me down! They don't want to touch this project. But I did contact Symplastics (another original Mack vendor) and they are looking into it. I actually have one of their old flaps and it looks pretty cool...what do you guys think?

They would pobally have to be white plastic as pictured, but I may still be able to do black plastic and/or rubber...Let me know what you think and I'll keep you posted.

I definitely would take two pair of these.

Don't know if this is the right place because this is a transmission/rearend question.....Can anyone tell me what the top end speed would be for a Mack with a 14 speed (I believe this trans. to be the TRT 722 or the TRTL 7220 ) with 4.17 rears( I think) and 1000x20inch rubber governed at 2100rpm....Thanks

I should add that this is in a 1966 B53 of which I have never seen, the owner says it is a 14 speed trans. Maybe it is better known as a 15 speed IDK.

How many miles are on your turbo? Have you ever had the air to air and intake pressurized to check for small leaks? Have you checked the accuracy of your pyro? You are fine running your exhaust temp up to 1050, I had a 300 that I'd let pull hard and the pyro would hit 1050 then start dropping and pull better.

The truck has 397,XXX and I believe the turbo is most likely the original, at least it was on there when I bought the truck in 02 or 03 with 280,XXX miles on the clock. I have never checked the ATA for leaks so maybe I should do that... The truck runs good, it's just that the EGT gets up to 1050, the max it says to let it get up to. I have never checked the pyrometer so that's another thing to look at. I have never let the EGT get to 1050 without dropping a gear so I don't know if it would drop if I let it pull without shifting or not. It just didn't seem like it would.
