  1. Mack Technician "They cut the antennas off each vehicle as a show of solidarity against media mental corruption." The whole world needs to do this!!!! This is the whole problem.....media brainwashing and fear mongering.
  2. I have fender mirrors on my new Star because salesman thought it would be a cool idea to have them added at factory. I hate them. I find them distracting, and you can't can't see out them half the time anyway. They freeze and fog in winter, and any time your windshield is wet or dirty, they are right outside the area your wipers cover, so again you can't see them anyway. I much prefer just using my judgement when I have to get up beside stuff on the construction sites.
  3. I have never seen a Page and Page before. Thanks for the education.
  4. The terrorists are probably taking note of this. Now they know all they have to do is release a real epidemic and all the Canadians and Americans will kill each other fighting over toilet paper.
  5. Inside the Daimler Board Room. Marketing guy: We need a new product because yuppies and millennials need change just for the sake of change. Financial Dept: Well just throw a 4700 hood on a Freightliner. That will save us millions. while you're at it, get rid of the external breathers and replace them with big ugly hood side vents like everyone else uses. But throw some little LED foo-foo lights in them so it looks like something special.
  6. I'm scared. Especially after seeing the spy photos I have seen. Oh well, at least I'm safe (and happy) for 4 more years anyway. Then it might be time to retire.
  7. Ya, I see those Pete's with the visor that has the center almost touching the hood. That's a little much. LOL
  8. Well, to be fair, I don't know about the new ones, but I have a friend that has two 2002 VHD dump trucks with 465 Volvo power. They have been flipped over, beat and tortured by numerous drivers, and they are still going. Motors never opened up. But, would I want one over any model of Mack? No thanks. Just not into square box styling.
  9. We had a Ford L9000 tandem dump with a 318 Detroit. That truck FLEW! And it never ever failed. Then we sold it and a guy bought it. He decided to open it up and refresh it. All 8 pistons had broken rings!!! And it still pulled like crazy and showed no signs of being hurt, LOL
  10. Well.....I'm guilty of the visor. My old Paystar.
  11. Never ran a V12 Hayseed, but spent lots of time in unmuffled Detroit's too. Mostly Ford Louisville dump trucks, a couple Paystar 5000's and two 5 Star Generals with 6-71, 6V53, 6V92, 8V53 and 8V71's and one 8V92TTA
  12. That's how I always described it Mack Tech. Like a helicopter at full pitch. I used to work for a fleet that had Superliners, both dump truck and pup and 5 axle dump trailers. All E9's with either 12 speed Mack's or 15 speed Eaton's. And all dual straight pipes with no mufflers. Nothing like passing tandem freight haulers on 12% hills in high range when you got 140,000 pounds and listening to that sound!
  13. I just got home from hauling snow. We were cleaning a parking lot at one of the big grocery stores in the city nearest me. They are open 24 hours a day. Well it was near riot and they had to have police there to control it and I left at 4 am and it was still going strong. Four lane highway leading into it and there was four lanes of traffic cutting each other off and racing in the parking lot to get in first. Tinfoil hat wearing doomsday prepper A-Holes. Put on your big boy panties you panzies.
  14. Ever notice how all this always happens in an election year? Coincidence?
  15. I'm getting my kid to post an add on facebook marketplace for me: For sale. Toilet paper. Charmine Extra Soft. Not that no-name brand you will find at other suppliers. Sanitized for your protection. $200.00 a roll. Additional bottles of hand sanitizer available. 8 fluid ounce bottle. $500.00 each. Call Shawn. (705) 649-5529
  16. I was thinking of taking my money out of the bank then start a public fear campaign that the financial institutions are going to collapse. Then just sit back and watch the show, LOL. I know how to solve this whole corona epidemic. All the fear mongers and media should just kill themselves. There, problem solved. And the rest of us can continue on with life just like we do every day.
  17. Sometimes I can't tell if you are being serious or just trying to stir the pot, LOL
  18. The f'n gene pool of society really has run out hasn't it? Wife just called from work. My city is sold out of toilet paper. People bought every f'n roll on the shelves. What, is corona going to cause mass shitting and diarrhea or something? The stupidity of this world sickens me. People should not be allowed to reproduce. Where's the corona virus? I'll lick it. Know why? Because I have an immune system and it stays strong by being around germs. F'n morons. Go drink more bleach you dumb @#$%^&*'s
  19. Yes, it is a bulbous hood. But sure beats lifting the cabs off my Superduties to work on them, LOL.
  20. Forgot I had these from when I went to body builder to pick up my new Star. I really hate those hood mirrors though. And I still prefer the previous dash and interior. But one nice touch (I thought I took a pic but didn't) that Mack did was put a grease bank right under the driver side door for the front spring pins, and the clutch cross shafts and release bearing. Is that an option or do all the Granites come with that?
  21. Here's one took pics of at the body builder (Wiltsie) And a few bonus Mack's.
  22. You have some RoadwayR? How do you like them? Anything you'd change about them?
  23. I'd love to put an old body on my F550 like that. I have the truck, just need the talent and the money, LOL
  24. When I went to my body builder last spring to pick up my new dump truck they had some CV's there. The owner says they and the the people that have bought them really like the CV.
