    Well it's been almost 6weeks since I've gotten THE GREEN HORNET back and been out on the road. So far no issues except improvements. Fuel mileage is now up in the 5-6mpg range and she has better pulling power. Unfortunately on Monday had a load shift on me in Richmond Virginia and had some rebar fall off the trailer. Thanks to a long wheelbase only one airline and the Tractor protection valve was busted. Then to make it interesting I was the victim of a hit and run hahahaha while I was stopped and surveying the load shift. But the week went great and now I've got her all dolled up with Polish.

    Alot of guys don't realize to is yeah you can legally haul 40,000lbs on a 10ft spread but you better not be over 20,000lbs on each axle.

    Yup as long as they paid their 48.00 Union dues You couldn't touch them. My Grandpa hated that about the Union when he worked at Fords Lima Engine Plant.

    I've always said " You can have all the horse power you want but if the horse to torque ratio is not equal it doesn't mean anything "

    I know the workers at The Ford Engine Plant aka Penske don't get paid as much as they did back in the day when my Grandpa work there. 😒 As far as the other junk goes The UAW supports and has Supported too many lazy good for nothing people just because they paid their union dues. Other Dog I agree with you I also Want nothing to do with Unions.

    I heard through the Grapevine that Ford hasn't had a raise in 20yrs so that's what they are striking over. Also MACK wants a 26.00 per hrs on top of what they are gittin paid already.

    I drove a 1997 Mack CH613 Gold bulldog with the Elite interior for the owner operator. I think the Mack Motor had 400hp. Pulled 34,000lbs plus 12,000lbs at 70mph no problem

    Add some new quarter fender Flaps today after I parked her for the weekend. She's a totally different Animal now. More power and better fuel mileage. Some hills in Ohio she used to climb at 30-35mph and pushing 220 degrees she now pulls at 40-45mph and just barely over 200 degrees. She drives like a dream. Was a great week.

    Almost sounds like you've got warn out parts like the other guys commented and like you've got air in the system somewhere. Even the foot pedal for the extend a hoe is hooked to the hydraulic pump. Sounds like the old girl needs a rebuild to me. I own a Case 530 Diesel

    One of the best Automatic Transmissions I think is The Mack M-drive 12spd. Virtually indestructible and very reliable.

    Thank you Sir!! 😊

    They added 12 lights to the ol'girl for me. Looks awhole lot better than the chrome panels in my opinion. Hopefully she'll be done and out of the shop tomorrow lol. I got to sit up in my new drivers seat and see the Lights from inside the truck. Can't wait to be driving her down the highway

    That's pretty much what it is. Most of the Rail roads use these for re-stoning the rail beds after new ties have been installed. They are really neat in person to see. Some landscaping company's use a similar style for dumping in tight places etc.
