Mack Technician

Solid chassis, Good engine (relative to maintained condition). E-Tech can make 350 horses with one piston tied behind its back. Easy day, low horsepower expectation= long life. 

Unless I had a spare engine at home, and got a greatly reduced price, I'd work out a deal to hear all 6 cylinders working before purchase.

Pressurizing the oil passages would be even better.

We use to hook our oil pump to the turbo pressure feed and backfill the galleries.

 any other suggestions?

 

Had a guy come in to the dealership with just such a truck that was started after decades and was smoking black. I cleaned 30 lbs of mouse nests and droppings out of the air cleaner housing.  

The boys like the re-runs too.... 😆!

I'm glad the folks who want to forget US history haven't had any of those monuments removed.

Glad they haven’t succeeded.

The men those monuments represent wouldn’t have let themselves be lead around by a hog ring like the historical revisionists get away with now. 

Was at the 4th of July parade this year and a tourist started going off and yelling about a rebel flag being flown in our towns parade. He was offended and had to make a scene on the street. Was nice to see the city cop walk over, shut his volume off and offer him a ride in the squad. Out on the fringe no one cares about these jokers or about the lame-o Wisconsinite(?) in the parade who watched too many Dukes of Hazzard reruns and bought a confederate flag.

Glad Ambers enjoying the weekend. It’s warm Blatz till Tuesday, maybe longer, here. 60 mile wide can of whoop a#& came through and knocked all the lines from here to Green Bay down. Lotta fresh, cheap, voltage cured, firewood on Craigslist this next week....

Wagons are circling over there. My niece got sent to India two weeks ago. When my elderly mother told me that I said “sure she didn’t say Indiana? We don’t have a base in India.” Wasn’t paying attention, we have an agreement with India to share space. Obama set it up in 2016 as a logistics station for a war with Iran or China. 

Thanks Uncle Sam!

What’s next? Pelosi will be sky dropping financially parasitic Central Americans onto my neighborhood to see how they disperse?

Rhasler or one of the other moderators has a thread in here listing the proven times the US government carried out such experiments. Wish I could conjure that one up, it’s an unsettling read. 

Its not hard to relate. I eat more when I’m forced onto a diet too. 

Search military surplus for a new motor. They are somewhat easy to find. Uncle Sam is dumping his supply. Try to stay away from 300 HP range, they have an older style smaller cooling pkg. you’ll have to do more conversions.

I am glad you guy found happiness ,my first and only tried to kill me three time .I have faced a guns several times but when she held that gun to my head will I was sleep was the scariest .

Might still be some love there? Most scorn women would kill you with the Death of a Thousand Cuts, not a single coup de grace shot to the temple.  

Congrats O.Dog!

It’s a safety feature to keep you from running around with a free-sliding 5th wheel. Safety is not negotiable. Unlikely you can PTT that away any more than a seatbelt warning, speed relative auto diff-lock disengage or trying to turn off your ABS. 

I’d do what Jim Hancock recommended. Minimal cost, minimal work involved. You start trying to out think R2D2.....R2 usually wins. Recently found my van won’t start if I pulled the ABS fuse. Don’t like ABS certain times of the year. However, if it’s running, you can pull the ABS fuse. So now I can put in a momentary switch to get the van started (through the start cycle) and release the switch.....which disconnects the circuit for ABS....not going to do it, but I could. Doesn’t pay to play...... Safety engineer wins his little operator control game. 

Accent color looks Cummins Beige on the first pic and Buckskin Tan on the second? Must be lighting.

I haven't heard anything good about the MP series engines. I'm gonna stick to e7's for the next 20 or 30 years til they get their act together. Or I'll go Cummins.

Stay gray(E7, E-Tech, ASET) till CNG or Battery gets here.

 Bosch operates in 60+ countries and distributes global.

Click on it. Then on "View File".

Nope

It's Bosch. It's reman. Mike gave me a lecture, no spin-offs.

What's your price in Florida?

PAI dealer in town says $659.69 and a return core. Think he lost his mind, or zeal from the fact he actually had one in-stock bled into the price tag?

What's yours?

K&S Fuel Injection    $300 direct from Bosch, reman,     +$175 core.  31 available from PDC overnight.
