I also see them for sale on Marketplace all the time but they are usually in the teens or low 20s moneywise.....

There is one currently for sale here on the forum buts its hidden in an extremely old for sale thread for a low boy. Seller is @MHfred here on the forum. See link below and go to last page. Real nice looking single axle MH:

Man $1,236 sounds like a real deal for that trailer. Super hard to find and easily worth twice or maybe triple that in scrap since its stainless. Hopefully a scrapper didn't get it at that price.....

You really believe Russia isn't selling oil anywhere ?  It's no wonder you defend biden

I never at any point in time said Russia wasn’t selling energy. They have lots to sell and plenty of buyers unfortunately.

if you think I am defending Joe Biden in any way here you are grossly mistaken and I can’t help you there. Joe Biden is easily the weakest leader this country has had at least since the beginning of the modern era….it’s really very sad.

Read my post again....

"Just curious.  We were exporting fuel under trump.  There was a positive attitude during Trumps term toward energy.  Biden runs on a platform and makes no bones about eliminating fossil fuels -largely to placate the progressives and the green platform. To say nothing of his position on drilling on federal lands, fracking etc.

I read it several times and think I addressed most of it in my previous post: The USA is the largest oil & gas producer in the world. As of mid 2019 we export more barrels of hydrocarbon energy (total net trade) than we import aside from a slight reversal during the pandemic. We are back to exporting more than we are importing. The trend toward being a net exporter started in 2005 with the proliferation of the slikwater fracking technique and has rapidly picked up pace to the present. The current and previous 3 presidents had no hand in this as the energy in this country is privately owned and managed. Energy on federal lands is leased to private companies for extraction and sale, which I also previously addressed.

At the start of 2020 energy prices were abnormally cheap due to the Saudi - Russian price war nobody talks about that flooded the market with dirt cheap crude. Trump had no control over this. The pandemic slowed demand drastically forcing prices even lower. Prices were on the rise starting in August of 2020 (well before the election or a Biden win was eminent) as the World's economies started to reopen and demand has picked up ever since. Now you are seeing prices drastically higher than the current demand would normally dictate all else being equal. The global supply has been drastically reduced due to world leaders and private brokers cancelling Russian energy. Again all outside of the President's control.

It's all supply and demand based. Traders and brokers make decisions based on facts and data - not far fetched rhetoric they know is completely false. To put it your way I think you are dreaming if you think Joe Biden's energy hostile rhetoric has anything to do with energy prices.  

Currently $5.99/ gallon here

You really think that had nothing to do with rising fuel prices?

I know that has nothing to do with rising fuel prices. The price of fuel is just about entirely supply and demand driven where your suppliers and consumers are the entire world. Joe Biden (or any president) can't force domestic producers to pump less or more, he cant force foreign producers to pump less or more, or dictate what they sell it for. He can't force refiners to adjust wages and production costs to further manipulate prices. He also can't drastically change the demand here or globally. Crude, natural gas, and NGLs extracted here don't necessarily get sold or used domestically. Heck, gasoline and diesel fuel refined here may not actually get sold here. Even Joe's direct, "energy friendly" actions such as opening the strategic petroleum reserve and resuming drilling leases on Federal Lands over the past month will not do much of anything to the price of fuel. As I said before under the current globalized commodity system a US president has almost zero control of the price of fuel. Joe Biden did ban Russian crude imports (about 9% of total US crude imports), which will directly affect the price we see at the pump. Though I think you would have to search far and wide to find someone who thinks that was an incorrect decision.

We were exporting fuel before Trump, during Trump, and are currently exporting fuel. To be clear the United States is the largest oil and gas producer in the world. There is a distinction though between crude oil and other hydrocarbons such as natural gas, NGLs, and refined products, which are collectively known as petroleum products. The US has never in its history been a net exporter of crude oil. It has been steadily trending toward being a net exporter of crude since about 2005, however, the trend slightly reversed in 2020 and 2021 due to pandemic related demand swings, and is now back to trending toward being a net exporter. The US may or may not ever become a net exporter of crude. The US currently is at about a 3.5 million barrel per day deficit of being a net exporter of crude. The US has been a major net exporter of petroleum products since 2009. Midway through 2019 the US became an all in "net exporter" of energy when taking into account both crude and petroleum products combined (in million barrels per day total net trade). The pandemic related supply/demand swings tipped us back to net importer in 2021 and we are now currently back to being a slight net exporter of hydrocarbon energy.

The Federal Lands thing is a talking point "news" personalities on both sides like to bring up to stir emotion for their base but never really give any context to their statements. If you look at the numbers its a pretty small amount of production. 8% of total US crude production, 9% of US natural gas, and 5% of US NGLs come from wells on Federal and Tribal lands. Moreover, 30 million acres are under lease to oil and gas developers, and of that only 13 million acres are currently producing. Theoretically 17 million acres could be developed before the issue of a Federal Land lease ban would actually mean anything. I live in the epicenter of the Marcellus region. I am starting to see a lot more pneumatic trailers and sand boxes running around again, which means fracking is picking back up. I know this is anecdotal but makes sense since the price of oil has been rising. Joe Biden may have ran on anti fracking rhetoric, but the bottom line is US producers are free to drill for and extract as much as they like and/or see fit. Economics and global supply/demand factors drive their actions. The US president has almost zero control over the global oil supply and how much US producers are pumping and/or developing new wells.

All I can say is you need to look and research elsewhere if you want to know why the price of fuel is what it is. The US President has almost nothing to do with it....

I found the production information from the Mack Museum. 177 B66s were manufactured between 1958 and 1965.....Couldn't even hazard a guess as to how many are left.....

I thought the B68 was the gasser version of the B67. I was told in B model nomenclature that even numbers had gas engines and odd numbers were diesel. Is that correct?

But fuel is definitely driving inflation...

Fuel is definitely NOT driving inflation. The high rate of inflation is due mostly to somewhere between 30% and 35% of the U.S. Dollars in existence being created out of thin air since April 2020. The CARES Act (a Trump administration policy) and other Covid 19 related spending & stimulus are now caching up with us. 1/3 of the US Dollars in existence being printed in just 2 years time will be a massive problem for years to come. High fuel prices are the least of our worries. Joe Biden or any president for that matter has almost zero to do with the price of fuel. Joe (and his handlers) is still a terrible president though.....

Yea I was going to say the highest factory rating you ever really saw any Mack engine(excluding E9) prior to the E7 was 350. The introduction of the E7 and more specifically VMAC probably is what allowed them to go above 350. You are also kind of limited with the 2 valve head......

Looks like you already found the proper yellow but I saw this in an old Sherwin Williams commercial truck paint refinish brochure at an antique store. I would have to guess the brochure was from the early to mid 1960s.....I don't think Sherwin Williams makes automotive coatings anymore though.....

Nice pre emissions day cab there. Mack transmission, light rears, air ride, over a million miles. You used to be able to pick something like this up for $9-12,000. They are asking $40k.....Crazy what the market has done lately. 

Also will the injector lines all match up?

Do current Maxidynes still pour in more fuel at low RPM's like the original engine concept.

I doubt it. There is so much torque limiting programming going on that you will probably rarely ever get to use the engines "rated output". Emissions. Emissions. Emissions......

Not that it means anything but the Mack Website still shows 3 "performance specifications" for the MP8: Maxidyne, Maxicruise, and Econodyne. Honestly if you look at the horsepower and torque curves for the Maxidyne and Maxicruse there is almost zero difference. Actually, the Maxicruise makes slightly more peak torque at the lowest HP setting (415). If they are doing away with the Maxidyne I can see why. There is almost nothing different about it to justify its existence and affect on Volvo's bottom line. I'm sure their marketing people did a study and concluded those customers who wanted a Maxidyne would just take the Maxicruise if it was the only option.......

It's home, have to sort out some paperwork with PennDOT. We added a lift axle and tried to up the GVWR.  Already had the truck in Iowa by the time we got the request for more info and pics from PennDOT.

Don't you have to take it to a PA enhanced inspection station to raise the GVW if it has previously been titled at a lower GVW and/or if you add axles? When I bought my triaxle out of Virginia it was registered at 80,000 GVW and the PA notary made me get form MV-1 (I think that was the number) filled out by an inspection mechanic that stated the truck's setup was sufficient for 73,280 GVW in Pennsylvania.

i ended up in 6L going 30mph up this damn hill while other trucks were flying by me...

Slow and steady wins the race LOL 🤣. But seriously another thing to look into is the gearing. A lot of these newer trucks have insanely (to me) fast gears to maximize fuel economy, or were specd to run in areas with no hills like the midwest. Put them in mountains with a full load and they will move the load but very slowly.....You could have one of those setups with like 3.08:1 rears......

For some reason I always thought C.W. McCall was an alias or stage name of Chip Davis. I realize now that Chip Davis composed all his songs. Early in his career, Chip was working for and advertisement agency in Omaha, Nebraska writing jingles. C.W. McCall was a fictitious character for Metz's Bakery in the Omaha area. The ads featuring C.W. got so popular there Chip had the idea to compose songs featuring C.W. McCall for the radio and record label.......the rest they say is history. C.W. McCall's real name is William Dale Fries Jr.

This appears to be a super solid unit and checks all the boxes you you have listed (although he doesn't show pictures of the frame rails). Truck looks clean though so chassis is probably nice. I don't think its a dealer. He listed his phone number. Cant hurt to call him and see what he has to say.....

*waiting patiently for the jaw drop*

Yea I figured that would be peoples' reaction.  The way I see it the information contained in those binders is worth 10x or more of the asking price (if your willing to get your hands dirty). But if you come to the this forum looking for information I assume you are willing to do your own work. I guess it just depends on your wrenching abilities and how long you expect to keep the truck for. Whenever I buy a new truck or piece of equipment the first thing I do try to find all the available shop manuals and reference material for it. I tend to buy equipment and hang onto it long term though so it eventually comes in handy.....

I assume since you are asking about an E-Tech engine your DM is 1998 or newer. If that is the case the below link is to the entire set of service manuals you would need for your truck. They are not mine and I have no affiliation with the listing or seller. I just did a quick search on Ebay and posted the first listing I found.

Yea White Motors really sent a lot of once good brands/makes to their graves. Freightliner and Western Star got sold to Daimer, Autocar and White went to Volvo. Plus they destroyed the Oliver, Minneapolis Moline, and Cockshutt brands of farm equipment.
