I don't have Facebook. Never have. But its the only place people seem to list their "junk" for sale anymore. I have found that using SearchTempest.com is kind of a "back door" into Marketplace without having to have a FB account. Browsing only and you have to be careful with how long you scroll or it locks you out. You have to open listings in new tabs then it "resets" in that browsing tab and you can start a new search. Its a PITA workaround but such is life. Everyone uses it now to sell their stuff and I refuse to put my information on there so I can't complain. Trouble is if I actually find something I want to buy I have get my wife to contact them for me....

He is down to 22,500 USD.

I know what he does for work. Nothing special. Probably a $75-$90k salary. With no other debt his monthly cash flow is acceptable. I think banks are currently looking for 40% or less DTI. He is now essentially "house poor". I posted up a nice looking Cruiseliner for sale to make up for it lol.

I just sold the the first house I bought when I was 24. A 75 year old 1100 square foot ranch shoe box in the Pittsburgh suburbs. It is the definition of a starter house. Cost me $730/month including taxes and insurance when I first bought it but had crept up to about $890 recently due to property tax and insurance premium increases. I thought it was a super affordable place to live at those rates. I saw at the closing the young kid that just bought it has a payment on it of $2460/month for the next 30 years. I couldn't believe it. I felt sorry for him.

That 5 speed gearbox has an odd shift pattern....

I was thinking more along the lines of the main theme or underlaying message surrounding Tommy Lee Jones’ character. If it were remade and used today as the time setting rather then the 1970s they would have no shortage of content to pick from to base the plot on

reading this forum, specifically this thread, makes me think of this film

If your dead set on Mack then for this application I would be looking for a later model CL753 or CL733 with cat or Cummins power already properly specd for Michigan special work. You could build a 700 series superliner into what you need but it probably would not make economic sense versus buying something already set up as such. Assuming you can find something reasonable to work with that isn't clapped and/or doesn't have double frame rust jacking. 1999 MACK CL753 For Sale in Lakeville, Minnesota | TruckPaper.com 2001 MACK CL733 For Sale in Anita, Iowa | TruckPaper.com

The newest superliner is 33 years old. It sounds good in theory but the chances of a superliner pulling those weights reliably is questionable. Not to mention when something does break you could potentially be spending crazy amounts of downtime chasing parts. A lot of parts for these old dogs are getting scarce or NLA. IMO it’s a bad idea to pursue.

The 5% want market and GDP growth. In a country with stagnated fertility and declining birth rates immigration helps. The 95% want wage growth. Immigration hurts.

From what I saw on a few different MSM sources is she had no criminal history and the only thing they could find on her was a single speeding ticket in 2012. When did it become standard practice for these ICE operators to jump out and start filming with their phones? I figured they had body cams. Ross drew on that lady, and shot three times with his right hand, while filming with his left. If you watch carefully he switches from filming with his right hand to his left when he is still on the passenger side of the SUV.

Will be interesting to see if Minnesota will be able to bring charges against Johnathan Ross or not. As I understand the supremacy clause federal agents operate under is a very high bar to get past. My guess is he will most certainly be tried in civil court by the family. This is the clearest and best footage of the incident I have seen. Figures its from the New York Slime. I'm not saying it does or does not contradict anything anybody is claiming. I just copied and pasted the URL and that is what appears. I think the relevant info in that link is the raw video footage/audio itself. The narration is subjective IMO.

10 is the windshield wipers. looks like it was a fire truck so the other switches could be a litany of things. Lights, sirens, etc

The listing says its an EM7, which would be a Maxidyne. I think the Maxidynes have different pistons and camshafts than the E7s FYI. Also the fuel pump on an EM7 is governed at 1750. If your trying to make 500hp you'll probably want more RPMs than 1750. You probably will be changing all that on this build but if you buy an engine for parts/core be cognizant of that.

If I'm not mistaken the "factory" bunks for Superliners were made by Able Body. Mack didn't manufacture their own sleeper until the CH came along. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think that is how it went back then. Are you able to determine what brand that sleeper is or if you know if it came from the factory like that or aftermarket? Perhaps if you send into the Mack Museum they will send all the build literature for that truck and you can get some more information that way.

I think it goes back to people being angry/disappointed with American foreign policy and aggression. My guess is if you could travel back in time 3 or 4 months and take a survey of every American by asking a simple question" Who is Nicolas Maduro?", I would be surprised if 10 or even 5% would have know the answer. Hmmm. Nicolas Maduro was such an existential threat to the United States and the American citizens that hardily anybody knew who he was. Then a narrative begins to take shape regarding drug boats and drug smugglers from Venezuela and the country's leader, Nicolas Maduro is involved. Why was it just drug boats from Venezuela? Do the Columbian cartels not run drug boats? Mexicans? Panamanians? The narrative is built up such that is somewhat palatable to the average citizen. The flow of drugs from Venezuela is so severe its destroying America and Nicolas Maduro and his country is enemy #1. In my opinion Nicolas Maduro is patsy. I'm sure he is not a great guy and I would definitely not want to live as someone under his rule. However, if anyone thinks this thing is about prosecuting him on drug trafficking charges and curtailing illicit drugs from entering the USA is not paying attention. The USA is wading deep, deep into "dangerous water". My guess is its doing so alone, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if its allies decided not to wade in behind it should SHTF....

Was probably set up for Jersey. Back then I think you could carry 80,000 on a tandem dump like that. Maybe you still can if you have one of those special overweight permits. I'm not super familiar but its been discussed on here before. From what I heard back in those days they they either didn't have or didn't check bridge laws. If you had a tandem dump you could load to 80k and hit the road. @tjc transport would know and/or if you can still carry that massive weight on a tandem.

If you are able to open the link and look at all the pictures in the listing. He has a bunch of interesting stuff in the garage. Looks like an Autocar, B81, and an L cab Mack at a minimum. Also some stuff sitting around outside looks interesting.

No affiliation. Just passing along this listing I thought was interesting on Marketplace. 63,000 original miles. RBs are pretty scarce as it is. Might be expensive. I don't know. A brand new factory tandem dump truck with that heavy steel body like that is probably over $200,000 with FET. 1989 Mack rbs dump truck - Commercial Vehicles - Howell, New Jersey | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook

Ken, I'll put aside my sarcasm for a moment. I'm not sure if you know but using exclamation points and all capital letters on a forum discussion is akin to yelling at somebody during an in-person conversation. Also saying "I will keep my comments to myself" implies you have nothing nice to say, or whatever you say may illicit an unfavorable response from whoever you are talkin to. Either way it is a passive aggressive thing to say. I assume by you saying "NICE" and subsequently "overpriced JUNK" you are implying that you think that truck is in fact junk. Fine. Its junk. Another guy might say it is a great rig. Don't shoot the messenger. Maybe you could have just said I absolutely have to have an Eaton transmission and the repaint is an absolute no go......
