Hope someone here can get it! 

I can't get over how well proportioned everything thing is on that Mack. It doesn't really look like it would be the worlds largest Mack until you see the equipment around it. The Mack made the good sized front loader at the end look like a toy! That V16 Detroit has a displacement of 2,384ci or almost 40 liters! 

Seeing this truck is definitely on my bucket list! 

The hurricane 6 is I think what it's called. Makes a lot of power but has some serious flaws from what I've heard.

I wonder if the Cummins will have direct gasoline injection with it being turbocharged and all. Direct injection wouldn't leave much room for a spark plug but how will it run much boost without knocking? I have my doubts about it being in pickups but with upcoming emissions maybe it will become a big thing. 

That looks good! If its not a secret what's all in it? We grow a lot of peppers but something about the soil or the hard water makes them unbearably hot. 

I saw that too. Looks like quite the deal especially if that trailer comes with it. 

I couldn't find anything about a rack buffer either. Would it comprise of an extra spring or something? Every Mack I've been around with an Ambac pump surges to some degree.

Another cool channel I didn't know about. Thanks Hippy!

Can a ships controls especially steering be controlled remotely? Why would they program something like that in? Unless it was a case like mutiny on board the ship I don't see how it could be a terror attack.

Interestingly this isn't the first time this ship has struck something, unless that's more common for ships than I realized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Dali  

Wow that's a neat looking truck! I never knew they made em like that!

Large plume of black smoke when they got the lights back on so maybe the motor stalled or they fired up an aux generator but too little too late. They say they dropped an anchor at some point too but I know nothing about boats 

Maybe that M-100 Mack will come out of retirement once the smoke clears and they begin rebuilding. 

They lost power and they could have lost rudder control is what I've heard. Very sad 

Looking good! Makes me want to get my Case 222 going. The Kohler engine seems very worn out so I want to find a little diesel for it. 

Wish I could have run em when they were new! The Mh especially 😉

I hope that CL613 finds a nice home, looks like she's been sitting awhile

Here ya go:

With more gears you can keep that E7-300 in its power band and it will be better than the 7-speed. I'd say put the 18 speed in and see how it feels before thinking of an engine swap.

Finding a higher horsepower mechanical or PLN E7 might be kind of tricky unless you want to go with an E-Tech. Lots more wiring and modules to track down on the later engines to unless you have a donor truck. 

Trucking Resources on youtube does some great videos on these old trucking company's. Most of them were gone before I came around and most wouldn't be coming through my area anyway.

Be interesting to hear how the trucking companies are in Australia. Seems like there are a lot more small guys and less megacarriors like we have over here 

The only proper place for a Volvo is behind a Mack! 

Not to derail but I've read that E-Techs get hot if the cam keyways wrong but I don't understand why. 

Wow that's a looker! Original tires on that rig too?

I don't think the 292's ever had the integrated head/manifold.  I only saw 250's with that, both 1 bbl. and 2 bbl. with split exhaust manifolds.  The 2 bbl. versions ran pretty good and didn't seem to crack as bad as the earlier 1 bbl.'s.  The 4 bbl. 4.3L V-6 was much better though. 

Oops I got my Fords and Chevys mixed up I meant 250.

Where and why on earth would you want one? Sure there is the cool factor, but I think the E9 beats it out in any V8 coolness comparison 😉

For 20k to 60k you could buy several E7s and weld them together if you really want a monster engine!

Would that 292 happen to be carbureted or fuel Injected? Does it have the integrated head/exhaust manifold like the later 240s we had here? And what in the world is swan water? 

Dad had a C10 pickup that was one of the last years for the 240 before they went to the V6. Was great on the highway with the limited slip but I think that odd intergrated head cracked and took it out of commission.
