  1. There's a sensor on the back that's messed up. Also Evidently there's a sensor for Steering wheel tilt lol. That's all the lights are on for. Nothing engine wise accord to the computer.
  2. At the end of the day even with break downs etc Ya just can't beat that view!!!
  3. Yeah I'm pretty happy again with it!!!
  4. Yeah I'm just glad it's finally holding together and everything is figured out.
  5. Well Ran her yesterday and even harder today and NO issues so far Knock on wood Vinyl. Running 60mph in 13th gear at just under 1400rpms and steady Manifold pressure of just over 20psi and gets up around 30-35 psi while in a Hard pull. Tipped the scales around 77,000lbs. She's doing great in my book!! Runs out a whole lot smoother!!!
  6. Yeah it's all in how you look at things I guess. I mean I had a spare rig to roll with while it was down and it's basically going to be brand new with all the new parts!! I mean mechanic found a fuel leak and got it fixed today so....I figure down the road it would have been a major issue at some point. It's just nice to be back in my rig doing what I've always loved doing for the past 18yrs. 😌
  7. Well The Green Hornet is back on the Road!!!!! Got her a much needed Bath!!!
  8. Milo says We'll just KEEP ON TRUCKIN' TO avoid all the Drama Llama's......As I told my Dispatcher the other day "Have Truck Driven by The Rubber Duck Will Travel"
  9. Crazy thing about the M-Drive is they're actually pretty much bullet proof when it comes to Automatic Transmissions.
  10. They're not bad sitting behind the 505hp Mp8. Buiuuut my right arm's gittin lazy and I'm just ready to be back in my yard lol
  11. No it's an M Drive Automatic. A 2014.maybe? It's junk to me because it acts weird and today the A/C went out. I'm hoping the Hornet won't be doing any laying around here soon
  12. It was hard to leave her behind. Hopefully acouole days i can leave this junk spare truck in her place!!!!
  13. Well talked to our mechanic today and he showed me the new boot that VoMack gave him and it seems to be a whole lot more rigidly built than the other boot. He thinks that the other boot may have been blowing up like a balloon until it eventually came out from under the Boot clamps..... Hopefully have it back in a couple days.
  14. That's a Slick lookin Truck.....Kinda like a Superliner and a CH613 Had a Kid.....Sweet
  15. Wife drives a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium. I own a 2001 Ford F250 XL Super Duty with a 7.3 Power Stroke its currently parked due to some issues and high diesel prices lol. My daily is the 1976 Chevrolet Cheyenne C20
  16. And here I am at 36 and hate working on or attempting to work on vehicles that don't have a Carb or throttle body injection. 🤔 that's why I own a 1976 Chevrolet Cheyenne C20 I can work on it myself
  17. So many of you know that once again the Green Hornet 💚 is back in the shop. They're trying to figure out why it keeps blowing the "Boot" off. Well our good buddy who's a mechanic at our local Mack Dealer says they can get us a Boot,both tubes all assembled with the original pressed on bands. Also the new boots have a small groove I'm them that's supposed to help them stay on better by settling around the bumps or however you want to call them on the tubes. He also agreed that the charge air cooler may in fact be messed up or plugged. So hopefully soooon Boys she'll be fixed!!!
  18. Yes Sir that is true. I was blessed to grow up with a Grandfather that was a mechanic and what he didn't know he read about and passed his knowledge on to me. Most of what I know on these big trucks I've learned by experience or asked. That quote for me is more a joke than anything. I usually say it after I've figured something out and fixed it right or helped a friend out fixing their stuff. It's also more of a " I don't claim to know it all or be a professional" kinda thing as well.
