Mack Technician

"Mike McGarry, a 53-year-old financial adviser from Philadelphia, said he threw himself on top of his children as shots rang out. “They’re 20. I’m 53. I lived a good life,” McGarry told Reuters. The back of his shirt had foot marks from people who stepped over him in the crush to flee."

Hate when it happens, but some great hero always rises out of the bloody, senseless, mess. See the absolute worst and best.

That being said I'd like to get back to the days when I was a kid. Desperate, suicidal people use to drive to a park in the middle of the night, stick a gun on their temple and pull the trigger. Everyone would mourn and wonder how we missed the signs.

In the age of the raging narcissist the SOB's try to kill everyone first. Filthy devils are getting more clever.  

If I where the guy jerking you around it would sound something like this. 

"if you want your block to last another decade keep what you have. Here's what you have to look forward to pushing a 12 liter to 14 liter HP range......

-cracked heads

-higher pyro

-less MPG

-coolant in your oil because of wormholes under your sleeve shoulder

- shimming sleeves to max protrusion to help head bounce

- sustain overload pits on your top mated gears of diffs

Then, once warned, I would just do it cause ultimately the customer is always right and I want you to come back to me for the listed repairs.

There is no watering down ethnic differences,we are what we are.The most murderous dictators in history have certainly not been black.It's good to know someone understand my position on certain stereotypes.

Guy from Africa once told me a saying....,,,"When the topic of conversation shifts to dry bones old women become nervous". 

I knew you'd come for me if I wrote that, Wink!

You gave a good, fair rebuke, but I disagree with watering down (or ignoring) ethnic differences. I enjoy it and have no desire to overthrow and rule the black population of Milwaukee for example. 

Have enough management challenges with my kids. 

If I was going to overrule though, I'd likely use Snoop Dog as a cabinet member to throw-off da haters.  

Notable google search "20 worst dictators of Africa". Hate is a universal condition in the sinful heart of man.

I really shouldn't say this because there is no good direct way to without sounding prejudice but the blacks have traditionally burned down their own neighborhoods rioting or protesting then complain they have no grocery stores or pharmacys in their neighborhood kind of self destructive behavior. Now they are working on self destructing the very industry that employs a higher number of them than most at out of sight salaries again I say this as an observation not being prejudice they will complain that it will be some elses fault when it implodes.

Dredge through all the political incorrectness of that statement and you have an unfortunite truth. It's not universally true, but is a pattern. 

You don't see engineering patents rolling out of Africa as you do Asia, America and Central Europe. 

What you do see is the Boston Marathon start with all those people groups and end with a common looking fellow from Ethiopia running over the finish line first. Natural talent for athleticism and music. 

Blacks dominate a handful of millionaire sports and music venues.....see if they end up driving em into a tree? NFL would be the first, so not a pattern yet.

Our OBGYN doc is a black gal from Texas. She was listening to our babies heartbeat rhythm and broke into dance. Pretty sure they "master-raced" dance too. Girls got moves. 

Those engines were such a good stock, reliable, money making motor. 

Be careful with it.....,with normal product improvement updates, you have one of the best stock engines Mack made. 

Good luck!!!🍀 

You can injector swap with no other additions or EECU flash. K&S says 30 hp. 

Your truck will try to store enough air for the chamber release, but barely.

Note, at day start-up, or after storage and leak down, your air bags (and cab bags) come up when the truck reaches 60-70PSI. The truck will try to maintain vital air supply since suspension is non-essential. Chambers can still drag.

Gotta find that dirty sucker who stuck his finger through the bag!!!!!

Can a hole or puncture in my airbag affect my airbrakes

Keep a trained eye on the dash gauge, don't let it hover below 70-80 PSI without doing an audit on the truck to fix parasitic air leaks. If you can hear/identify/locate the leak it is a good argument to fix it ASA-Available. Good luck!

Painful to watch, but I still would like to see the coverage from that cameraman standing on the secondary wall. Guy was playing roulette.

Yes, the one sided, liberal media is part of the problem.   These players and the Hollywood  people use their celiberty status  to voice their  opinions.  And the media goes along with it.   I agree as individuals  they have the right to protest.  But when they are on the field for a game, they are at work.   And if the team owner or coach had any respect for this nation and not just the dollar they would say " You stand or you go down the road".   

It is a strange relationship America has with Hollywood.

In the medieval times the Kings ruled from a throne and were entertained by the court Jester(AKA Fool).

In modern times the Jester (AKA-Hollywood) kicks the King out of the throne and people listen intently to everything the fool says because He is more entertaining than the King.  

My hippocratic oath makes it illegal for me to do surgery on a good heart.

i think i am going to run my pre egr Mack untill its no longer feasible to run a truck that old. basically until the frame rails rot out and then if the truck is still in good shape at that point i might even replace the frame rails.

Waste oil and a pump weed sprayer....?

List your solution when you find it. Helps the base. 

Had similar issue on DMM. Plugged radiator cores. So bad couldn't rod it out, had to install a new core. Water traveled through, but only on 25% of cores. Actual internal plug was exact shape of fan footprint.

Seems like gallon per ton mile will baffle the average Joe.

We will need snow displacement per gallon for plow truck enthusiasts.

Carbon pound displacement per mile for the kids who immediately install coal rolling tuners and adjust mpg. 

My ice shack is intentionally ultra light(900 @ axle) to keep me off the lake bottom. I get 9 mpg pulling it because it is like a drag car parachute. If I put the shack in a car crusher, cube it and drop it in my truck bed I'm getting 15-17 mpg.  

Not a simple equation for work trucks. 

No.

Any suggestions?

1. Always list your truck year, make and model.

2. Never date girls who hate their mom.
