  1. Can't wait to see this truck if you get it!!
  2. Unless they redesign something to have a bigger hood and rad to accept an X15 Cummins, don't hold you breath. They already killed the CL, Titan and MP10. They should have just kept building the CL. It would still be king. Big power, big bunk, heavy off road planetary axle truck. It did it all.
  3. Ya, I don't know how all that title stuff would work. Especially me bringing it back into Canada. Speaking of lumber....they are really gouging people now that they have this corona BS as an excuse. 2x4's have gone from $2 and change to over $7 here.
  4. No chance of still getting it? I'll trade you an F550 for it, LOL That's a good deal for a shed that size. I just found a place in Ontario Canada here that builds and delivers pre-fab sheds and garages. I was thinking about one of the barn style sheds for my tractors. But it's a tough call. I can build a bigger one for less money, but there is something to be said for a truck pulling in the yard, dropping it on the ground and other than hooking up my power...done. LOL You can see some of their pricing here: https://northcountrysheds.com/canadas-best-value-shed
  5. Very nice Quickfarms!
  6. 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.
  7. Just lost me with that front bumper though. Only because I like stock.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. You felt real cool driving past pedestrians with the wheels squealing and grinding all the time.
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. Is it just the Mack's or are the new Volvo's being delivered with issues also?
  14. I'm really liking these. And the forward axle 520 is a worthy replacement to the 9900i.
  15. And I might be tempted to come back trucking again, lol
  16. 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.
  17. Didn't Terex buy the last line of front discharge mixers Mack was making?
  18. 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.
  19. See the big sleeper on the heavy haul model. Take note Mack. This is why your Titan failed.
  20. 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.
