  1. Thanks for the help. Still on the fence with the purchase. I might schedule a 2nd look.
  2. I am looking for medium size Dump Truck to move soil around for some planned property improvements this spring. If I get a truck I'd prefer it to be A MACK. Turned up a 6 wheel 1978 R686. Looking over the truck it has 377000 plus mile. Started the engine and if fired right off stone cold. Checked the coolant after the engine ran for 5 to 10 minutes. When I removed the cap the radiator was pressurized, the level was low and I couldn't see coolant. I asked the owner if there was any problem with the cooling system. He said they just replaced the water pump? He assured me there wasn't any known problems or issues with the truck. A little concerning. The seller has contacted me asking if I am interested in the truck. I told him I might be if he tops off the coolant, if I can further inspect the truck and take it for a test drive. One thing I found strange, odd or unusual. When I pulled the dip stick the side closest to the frame (facing me) was clean with no oil. I asked about the oil and I was told the oil was just changed. I re-dipped the stick and it came out clean again. Wiped the stick with my finger and the dip stick on the engine side had oil. Dipped the stick again and the same results. The frame side was clean. With the stick pulled I turned it over and it showed full. What the heck is up with that? Anyone ever had that experience? Goofy question - Is it something to be concerned about?
  3. Filled up Thursday. Diesel was $6.00 a gallon. Across the street were I filled up it was $6.29. Today the same station I filled up at on Thursday the price was $6.16 across the street $6.49.
  4. The same thing happened to me.
  5. No BBQ in Pennsylvania. The high temp yesterday on my thermometer was 24 degrees Fahrenheit. Today it might break into the low 30's. Crews are still on the scene this morning on interstate 81. They only have 40% of the crash cleared up from yesterdays pile up.
  6. Pile up - 3 dead on Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania during a white out snow squall.
  7. This is not the beginning. We are deep into the destruction of our society. What worries me is what the end will look like. My goal in life is to leave a better world for the next generation to inherit.
  8. No one should be surprised. At least I'm not. I knew what we were getting with Obama and sleepy Joe. They can't get away with taking away our guns. You just won't be able to afford ammunition. They can't ban internal combustion engines. You just won't be able to afford to buy fuel. A direct quote from Joe Biden: "The only thing worse than a poorly planned intentional war is an unplanned unintentional war." WAKE UP. It is all part of the plan. The globalist new world order. It is all a diversion. The dumbing down of the American society. They want everyone living in fear, taking away our liberties and freedoms. They are making housing and food unaffordable. They don't want any independent thinking. They want total control of our lives and people 100% dependent on a government subsistence. They'll give you just enough to survive. If you descent they'll take away the handouts and leave you to die. Russia and China are the model societies. WAKE UP. It's all part of the plan hoping no one in this country notices what they're up to.
  9. Not my party. I have NO direct political party affiliation. I DO NOT self identify as a Democrat, Republican, White Nationalist, Racist, Homophobe, Crossdresser, Transvestite, Muslim or a Jehovah's witness. Your party? Don't assume what I am with any label. I want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I want what's BEST for OUR COUNTRY. I am voicing my opinion. I see things changing and we are not heading in the right direction. At this point I might accept a Martian invasion to take over the planet because it could be better then the morons we have now. I didn't like Clinton, Bush or Obama. When Obama became president, I figured give him a chance because IT MIGHT narrow the divide and BE GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY. NO ONE SHOULD be SHOCKED or SURPRISED by WHAT BIDEN has caused by taking up residency in the White House. It's worse then Obama's third term. I'm not prejudice I hate everyone. I did not agree with everything Trump did. At least he was up front and not trying to lead from behind. I think he tried to do what he thought was best for our country.
  10. They all have the Shi_ eating grin. It's a shi_ sandwich. It must be lunch time and they're lining up to take their bit of the turd. Obama has the Wuhan but there is still hope for him. A report out of the UK claims the death from the Wuhan is less then the death rate from the common Flu. The Wuhan death rate is 0.04%. Obama says he has taken the jab. I wish him well and hope he don't DIE.
  11. I never vote for the lesser of two evils.
  12. I didn't like number 1 either but he was slightly better then number 2. Number 2 wasn't better then a peanut farmer but better then the sleep Joe. The last time I voted before 2016 was 1980..
  13. Your kidding, right? Bush was another fuc_ - tard. Maybe not as big of a fuc_ - tard as Biden but he was and still is a fuc_ - tard.
  14. Station 1050. My C.B. handle is needle dick because I'm a bug fuc_er.
  15. The past few years and the whole Wuhan Flu bull shi_ should be a wake up call. It should be apparent what's happening to anyone willing to pay attention. Our own government has been stripping our freedoms little by little for 150 years hoping no one will notice. Put down the crack pipe and became conscious. I learned you can't argue with idiots. I am not a keyboard commando. When to war comes to my door step I will not be fighting for this country. I will fight the enemy (foreign and domestic) for my family defending what is left of our freedoms.
  16. "The only thing worse than a poorly planned intentional war is an unplanned unintentional war." Above is a direct quote from Joe Biden. It was no secret to anyone with half a brain what the intent was when Putin amassed his Army on the Ukraine border. You be the judge. The wheels were already in motion. Intentional or unintentional? Biden, his family, oligarchs and politicians have been involved in the corruption in the Ukraine for years. Biden is into it up to his chin and trying to keep himself from drowning. I am not listening or being lead along by the main stream lies told by the politicians or mass media propaganda. I'm not laughing because this is a joke. The only ones being punished and suffering are the subservient in the way who are being killed and wounded. What every grandstanding is done it will not stop the planned and intentional.
  17. It is laughable because none of this matters to Putin or Biden. Biden is grandstanding to make it appear he is doing something to punish the Russians. They both are intent on destroying the United States and the American way of life. You will submit, people must die and the end always justifies the means. What a comparison? Bush is another globalist new world order stooge.
  18. Punish the Russians? That's laughable.
  19. The floor DOES NOT come apart. It is going to be a mess. It looks like I am going to have to be a contortionist AGAIN to work on the truck. The valve will have to drop out the bottom. Nothing but fun owning a CF-600 Cab. Everything was assembled around everything else in the way. I haven't found anything that can't be done but nothing is done the easy way. I'll have to get the valve out the bottom from under the cab to at least see or get an idea what's going on. I've already done a lot of rust repairs to the floor on the truck when I installed an air seat. I might do some more hacking and cut in the area around the valve when I get it out to make it easier to reassemble and to gain access later if the valve ever needs to be replaced again . Do you know anyone who can weld? Thanks for the help.
  20. I've been doing some searching around on the internet. I found lots of choices for complete (new) valves. Just as well replace the valve completely. It is going to be a PITA (wrestling match) to get the faulty valve out. I don't want to do it at all but if I have to do I don't want to do it twice. Question: was there a standard (part number) valve Mack used on their air brake system?
