  1. This is all I have ever done. Throw a quart of ATF in it, take it for a good run and get it hot, then drain and change filter. I love 289's. Very good engine. Had a couple in Mustangs.
  2. Just lost me with that front bumper though. Only because I like stock.
  3. Too bad you didn't get that International Other Dog. That would have been a cool project. I'd rather have that than my F550.
  4. Someone painted the E9 V8 in the Superliner at the mine here Cat yellow. But I guess that's better than painting it like a Cummins or Detroit. LOL
  5. You felt real cool driving past pedestrians with the wheels squealing and grinding all the time.
  6. And are your drums getting full of gravel every time you dump? On the last two Star's I ran (a 2013 and a 2020) they had the genius to make the bottom inspection plates stick out more than the tops. So it was like a funnel to fill the drums with every stone off the road.
  7. LOL. Kinda like the time I was running through a freezing rain and snow storm and pulled onto the plate with my truck and pony and looked at the display and it was reading 69,000 KG (152118 pounds). Legal is 63,500. The officer comes walking out with a big smile and I said "ya, I know." LOL He was cool....he knew what was going on. I said I'd shovel the snow off, but you'd have to call a plow for your parking lot. LOL
  8. Is it just the Mack's or are the new Volvo's being delivered with issues also?
  9. I'm really liking these. And the forward axle 520 is a worthy replacement to the 9900i.
  10. And I might be tempted to come back trucking again, lol
  11. Well, local construction company just got all their new Granite dump trucks in. Three have check engine lights on, one has ABS light on, one keeps breaking rear suspension levelling valves off and two went back due to bad driveline vibrations. That don't look good for the new Mack does it.
  12. Didn't Terex buy the last line of front discharge mixers Mack was making?
  13. Thanks guys! I'm not sure how many different brochures they had for them but I just wanted to see one with the original cab interior and the E9 V8. I've driven a few of them but never took pics back then. Wish I did. The last couple weeks having gotten to drive one of the V8 CL's in the mine has reminded me of how much I really liked those trucks.
  14. See the big sleeper on the heavy haul model. Take note Mack. This is why your Titan failed.
  15. I normally HATE new truck redesigns. Like the new Mack interiors.....horrible compared to the previous generation. But I like these. I am going to miss the old aluminum cab, but this LT/HV/Lonestar cab is much nicer than that Cat truck interior they had switched to. Still not as nice as my 2000 era 5600i and 9900i interiors, but better than the Cat interior.
  16. That's why I said OLD Mack's. There is a reason they are legendary.....and today, well not so much. LOL We will never see another truck as legendary as the old Mack's. Nothing made today will ever stand up. That's why now that I have retired from trucking, I was so happy to get the chance to drive the old Superliner and CL in the mine I now work at. They brought a huge smile to me face. Every new truck I have ran over the last few years made me want to commit suicide.
  17. Nothing better than old Mack's and farms.
  18. Cool. I've never seen any of those in my neck of the woods.
  19. Let's just get back to doing what this site is for.....enjoying OLD Mack's and bashing Volvo. LOL
  20. Where did you check the VIN? Is it possible to get the original specs of trucks still? I'd like to see the full specs of how these Mack's I have here at the mine were spec'd. They are pretty impressive.....E9 V8's, 65,000 Mack rears, etc.
