Saw that for sale Paul, was cheap enough. Reckon he's got a good truck there. Was 2 IT bunk CHs for sale last week. Don't think there was too many made over here. I've got a Trident about the same year with one.

Mack cv713 random miss
Adkat replied to dieselfuel007's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
@dieselfuel007 does the lightning bolt light up as you turn the key on when the ECM is doing its self test? Ground breaker, not sure on your granites over there, but should be on firewall or EPDM. @Joey Mack will know where Have to pull cluster and dash panel out to get to dash grounds -
Just spied this neat looking R model for sale in Vic, looks a tad familiar eh @Swishy https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/vermont-south/trucks/mack-truck-r-model/1324681487?utm_source=gmail&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=android_VIP_sticky

Mack cv713 random miss

Does the lightning bolt⚡ come on when you cycle the ignition to on? -
G'day Chaise, firstly welcome to BMT! Some pics would help give an idea of what you're dealing with. In regards to the cracks and sheared bolt, did they happen consecutively, or were repairs done to fix the issues as the came along? Where abouts did they crack? Which mount bolt let go? What's the condition of the mounts? Are there bolts missing from the gearbox to flywheel housing? Does it have the steel bar mount on the back of the box? Hopefully a bit more info can help get you sorted

Right Hand Drive Anthem
Adkat replied to mrsmackpaul's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Just had this come up on flakebook. Not an Anthem, but it is RHD, so kinda still on topic. Thought you fellas would appreciate it. https://www.facebook.com/reel/996181491959768/?mibextid=ngobeXctTp5pD3Zm -
Hope you all have a fantastic 4th of July. Know it's a fairly special day for all of you over there in the US of A. Enjoy 🍻

The media and Dems keeps going on about the SCOTUS judgement, and how it's ruined thier chance at jailing Trump. But just watch if Trump gets in. Who's it going to help then? All smoke and mirrors, one big get out of jail card for the sitting President. Just sayin' 😉

New BMT Challenge Coin Released 4/1/2024
Adkat replied to Barry's topic in Product Announcements & Group Buys
Well mecho, hopefully they aren't the two that are on the way to Aus, postage ain't real cheap, cost me just a touch more than double the cost of both coins to ship them. But by the looks of it they'll be worth every penny. -
G'day David, can figure it out without diagram. There will be 3 main wires, constant battery+, switched ACC or IGN + and a ground, just need a test light/ circuit tester to find them, the rest should be speaker +/- which you can check using a 9v to find the pairs, speaker will crackle when you got the right wires. If you've got steering wheel controls, should be on a separate plug to the power and speakers. See how you go. Adam

Swan water is a little blip on the map in a big patch of dryland cropping and stock grazing area in NW Victoria. The area would have been one station originally, or what you blokes would call a ranch, but has since been cut into smaller farms.

Let's hope the postage your ways cheaper than getting it from you blokes to over here down under

Yep agree with Paul, but they do throw the occasional floodway or S bend in to mix it up after you've settled in for the first couple of hours of dead straight, flat, not much to look at driving. Unless the natives are moving about, then you gotta try and keep them off the bullbar.

Bloke in Aus makes aluminium replacement for them with removable fittings. At least you can get away from the PITA push in quick connect style fittings that decide to leak and get filled with crud so you can't disconnect them

Adkat replied to Barry's topic in Product Announcements & Group Buys
Yep got 2 of the #1 coins, absolute crackers. I'll definitely be throwing my hat in for a couple of #2. It's a bugger USPS international shipping is so expensive. $67 US for a $4.70 plastic nut -
