Looks like crap, you're still burning coal or nuclear energy to move it, then when the batteries shit the bed you have to handle that environmental disposal headache and pay 25 grand for a new set of batteries. You can't road trip in it because gas stations aren't "electric" stations. Tesla's are just liberal status items, so you can tell your friends you have more blow money than them and that you are pioneering the environmental electric/automated car movement.

Wow.

Glad it was a cheap easy fix! You can do a lot of damage to an engine of you aren't careful!

Lots of parts blowout diagrams when you Google airliner suspension

With rears that heavy it was a site truck? But it's too clean for a site truck! -
Did mechanic set the heads down on a table and crush the injector nozzle tips? Common for injector nozzles to stick into the fire chamber a little...

Certainly saves a lot of money if your retired trucks can be parted out to keep your other trucks rolling. -
I need pictures of that truck hogging through mud. I've seen pictures of DMM's sitting, but I want to see action shots and videos.

Works on an R model at least. Not sure about other brands/models.

Trans can be lowered out of truck by removing floor; pass pipe through driver/passenger windows, sling rope around pipe, over the roof, around pipe, over roof, pipe again, roof again... Tie it off, now you have a makeshift lift to hang a come-along from to lower trans out. Tricks like this are how many if us get by without the "right" tools.

That is a nice oil truck! The HD bumper looks nice on there. Seeing the crane in the background I suspect that Mack runs off-road fuel, not heating oil. -
Looks like you're set up pretty well! They're not much different from cars, just bigger components and bigger wrenches. Hood pops forward and most everything enginewise is easy to access.

Not mine but looks fun to drive! If you have a big property with lots of mud I could see this being a fun toy! http://www.machinerytrader.com/ListingsDetail/Detail.aspx?lp=MAT&OHID=184472551

How does the cat950h treat you? -
6 speeds forward, lo sets all the number gears down one gear, and 5 speeds reverse. One stick is 1-5, other stick is low, direct, reverse. Got some mud behind you? No problem! 3rd gear reverse and floor it! Good momentum, good torque, auto power divider, you're across it before the soft ground realizes what hit it. Just don't stop to second guess your truck or you're stuck. We still run a 79 with a 2 stick, but it's mixer body is on its last legs. Planning on retiring it in a year.

Those are nice trucks. -
This picture is amazing. Thanks!

All depends on gear ratios, and how it was spec'd at the factory, a d then how it was maintained.

He never even said it's a Mack. -
Iron and aluminum don't get along....
-
The green is because brass has copper in it. Iron oxidizes red, (rust), aluminum typically forms a hard protective layer when it oxidizes, though if there's something else going on, i.e. chemically or electrically induced oxidation, it will make that white powder. It's the aluminum oxidizing. Copper oxidizes green. That's what you're seeing on the brass. Does the tank have a plug on the bottom? How much water is in the bottom of the tank?

Salt?

MP8 races only when parking brake is set
JoeH replied to Rockwell's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Freightliner with a CAT I drive for winter work revs up after a minute to around 1k for a minute during the warm up cycle. Only does it when started cold, maybe your truck thinks it's cold started every time you park it?
