  1. I'll be near LIC this week ,I can see the LIC historical society and find out if they have any info. Paul
  2. Yeah, can't figure NYS. I have a 88 Dodge 3/4 ton, The passenger plates required a stand up cap and a pair of permantly fixed seats witrh belts. The weight is unladen and don't put a load in it. you'll get a citation. I left my commercial tags on it for my trips to the dump. N.Y.C. is even worst on enforcement of the cap law. they'll tag you at the bridges and tunnels. Truck wise I have a few friends with the Duramax and they love it. The Dodge with the Cumins is a trouble free unit too. I trhink bottom line would be what you like and what is available. My Dodge has a 5.9 Cumins, first year it was available in the Dodge with a heavy duty 4 speed stick . A side from injectors and a starter, no problems in 150,000 miles and 22 years. Paul
  3. Been reading this guys posts....another computer generated answer?? Paul
  4. With a moisture drain.........found that when I had a fog cloud come out of my horn.....
  5. Beautiful job on theAK6. Would really like to see some AK engine pics if possible. Paul
  6. Sure sounds like a very unhappy ex employee. It seems that most dealers (car and truck) hire mostly part changers. I've also got more help from members here than from my local dealership. The general ratio of Mack to other makes for the sand and gravel trucks and the road builder was always 90% Mack and the balance spread between Pete and International. Now a Mack hauling sand or asphault is a rarity. There mostly all K.W., Petes and Western Stars. Could be the dealer service and general "we're the only game in town" attitude be the cause? The techs I've dealt with here couldn't pour pee from a boot, if you put the instructions on the bottom of it. Thank god were have good ,knowledgable helpful members here.
  7. I go to Hersey every year as a vender in the Chocolate field annex. I buy and sell 1941 Chevrolet parts and Corvair truck parts. This year with almost nothing to sell I went on a quest looking for parts for my AC and general B model parts for my mixer. I bought a complete AC engine for $75.00 to get the factory oil filter set up. Not much other stuff there. Some AC sheet metal that was worse than what I have........Must have been real special because of the non negotiabe prices. It seems that prices for almost every thing doubled or tripled. Came across two NOS B model front fenders and and filler panels.....at only 3500.00 for the set non negotiable. Am I that out of touch with current parts prices for old Macks?
  8. Looks fantastic. It's the only Magnum COE I've seen. Really nice to see it restored. Paul
  9. Are your batteries good?, do a load test on them to check for Crank draw and a low or bad cell. Also check the ground conections on the chassis and the engine, make sure they have clean and a solid connection. The correct cable gage is very important.\ as mentioned before. Paul
  10. I bet the "trainer" is related to the electrician we used to have at the shop. He was telling his new helper that you never grab these 2 wires when the power is on........Metal linesman pliers.........aluminum ladder........240 volts............knocked him on the floor. Took me a good week to stop snickering. Soap carving is good with Kirkermans soap.....growing up my mother gave me an "aquired" taste for it.
  11. Yeah me too! I think more clueless,crying means you know whats going on. coures that could be bama or peelosely sobbing.
  12. Here on the island most charge $100. to show up, $50 plus for a non running unit, $5.00 per mile and tolls off and on to L.I. average $100.00 plus some add a fuel surcharge............
  13. Interesting. The townships landfill near me reclaims, refines and uses a Methane blend in their Pete 320s.
  14. Some good pieces there, hope they save them all. I've seen the B model somewhere before. Paul
  15. Try these people, Their near Hunts Point. They rent heavy equipment trailers from 1 ton to 20 tons. I was at H.O. Penn and a customer came in with a small dozer on a Hertz trailer. This was where he got it. Paul Hertz Equipment Rental (718) 786-4690 525 46th Ave Long Island City, NY 11101
  16. Can't get a WILDCAT tire ....will a ELECTRA 225 tire work?
  17. CHECK YOUR MAIL Just wanted to let you all know - today I received my 2010 Obama Stimulus Package. It contained two watermelon seeds, cornbread mix, and 10 coupons to KFC. The directions were in Spanish. Hope you get yours soon.

  22. Mack made the END465 & END475 in conjunction with Scania not sure which was in the R-400 series. It was about equal to the Cat 3208 that Ford used. Paul
