Aren't we funny! If you want a lady, post a separate thread. Don't bastardize my post! And wonder why I don't frequent BMT!

I will not be able to remove it to use as a pattern since I will be driving the MH to shows this summer. If by winter I still do not have one, I can remove it then.

Seeking a 2003 or older CH612 in very nice original cosmetic and mechanical condition. Rust free cab. Original paint. Minimum 300 HP. Engine brake a plus. 10 speed manual Mack or Eaton transmission. Air bag rear suspension. A/C. Dual aluminum fuel tanks. Maintenance history nice to have. Current DOT inspection (good brakes and matching rear tires). Any color other than black. Send details with asking price to mhrollhauler612 at outlook dot com. Thanks!

Geoff, Thanks for the information. I am not a fabricator but it sounds easy. The MH guide is similar to one you pictured. I do not know anyone local that can make the part. I requested a print from the Mack Museum and then I will search for a fabricator. Thanks again!

The dipstick guide tube is rusty and broke at the outer support. The guide PN is 715GB530M and NLA from Mack and no dealers show any stock. Seeking a decent guide. Send me an email at mhrollhauler612 at outlook dot com if you have one or know of one for sale. I plan to be at Macungie. Thanks!

Thanks for the input. I decided to dismiss the idea of buying a Pro-link setup. I mainly wanted the system to check and reset the low idle and road speed. The extra diagnostic features are "nice to have". But for the money I will pay Watt's to check/reset the features. Hopefully less than a Pro-link system. I did find a free software program from Diesel Laptops but the cable to connect the vehicle to my computer is over $800. I will pass.

I learned the 804011 (V6.2) is an updated card compared to the 801111 (V6.10). Will either card work for V-Mac I and II? Has anyone used the Nexiq Pro-Link Graphiq? If so, thoughts compared to the Pro-Link Plus? Again, thanks for your input.

I have a chance to purchase a card for the V-Mac III. The card number is 801111. I saw cards with PN 804011. Which is the correct card or are both the same? Will this card work with all V-Mac III engines (199x-2003)? I don't know what years used the III. TIA

Thanks Bob for the heads up. I found a used lamp MANY years ago. I gave up looking for a backup (new or used). Looking at the pic from Walmart, it is not even close to either the early or later lamp. The one posted by @BottleHauler84may be correct but too fuzzy to see any detail. Perhaps you can get a better image. My concern would be the wiring and connections. I am not a fan of "modifications" but I guess something is better than nothing. Thanks to both for your research and updates.

I am "guessing" the MH642/3 were Detroit engines? Anyone know for sure?

MH653 - Caterpillar 6x2 - single drive axle 6x3 - tandem drive axles A MH652 would be a Caterpillar powered single axle. Here is the link to a YT video explaining the differences in the CAT 3400 family engines.

I would say it is an optical illusion. The diamond plate fenders hide the tire (top and front). If you look at the distance from the rim to the ground it looks the same. The front "drive" axle is not a tag axle so the tires should be the same size.

Still looking. Added windshields.

MH parts: Windshield Moulding - 24RU538M subs to 25077244 - NOS pliable Windshield Washer Reservoir - 34QT55M2 subs to 25129768 - NOS or good used (mine leaks) New addition 04 JAN 2024 - windshields 9QT517M and 9QT518M. Send note to personal email with price and location. Pics if possible. Thanks!

There is one on the auction site that looks good. Send the seller a note and get the bolt spacing to make sure it is the correct one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/296089879417?hash=item44f0550379:g:nc0AAOSwDQVlbjML&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8PtmuW4Si3C8%2F4k3Ffpl18WRLiK%2FfzOo%2Bh1eGJpJk90sgo%2F%2FOlKHUL5h%2BE13XI9Q6aHG9qE04eYJJ2DsfvRYb95DWiwBgQXYOaMaKTtmLqCh6s1if8LP%2Bx5eZSxq6koTtStKofPKavx4M6LIammt55EZPOyToExDZYOlQ7PWD%2F%2FbnYc7ANBwPBgzQV4q9eqq%2BkHMp9VSFA5ImUwL0KpqLYWRRXpXpGy%2BITXDZA7CKUyKWIQ16OfjXMcU1KqnDWyODFb6ppHizApPGK35iaOGraiO31wI82n0p1O%2BYZz7XEWCaq0qzaYx0mTstR3yS%2F6t7A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8Ctn_KGYw

I was asked to log in and reply to this message. You bought the "pup" version. You need to full size dog. The chrome bulldog pn is 27RU217B. The gold bulldog was not installed on the MH even if it was 100% Mack. The gold bulldog pn is 27RU217BP2. It attaches directly to the mount with 2 -1/4"x1-1/4" UNF countersunk oval head capscrews (pn 103AX109). I did a thread a LONG time ago about changing my bulldog from chrome to gold. I forgot to add 27RU217B subs to 2515 2847 and 27RU217BP2 subs to 2516 1913. Both list for over $100.

I was told there will be NO clam bake (buffet) on Friday night. Instead they are trying to get food trucks/vendors for Dutch Treat food service. I may only attend on Saturday.

Thanks Rob and AMEN!!!!! Going back to my hole.....

Bob, Sorry we did not connect and sorry you did not have a "swingin' time". If I knew you did not have a "pass" you could have borrowed the wifey's. My 3 cents on ATHS...I been to three (3) shows with the MH and NEVER ONCE did I need to show nor asked for the vehicle insurance or registration. Interesting! And don't get me started on the "show rules" and the number of "violations" I observed. And another thing, I never saw so many "service" dogs as in Reno (even in restaurants and supermarkets). On the positive side, lots of nice looking vehicles, most an "east coaster" would never see otherwise. Saw MHfred, Brocky, and 75T. Also Dave from Keystone Truck Museum. Make a note, Macungie is always Father's Day weekend (Thursday - Saturday). Many vehicles leave on Saturday afternoon so Friday and Saturday are the best days to attend. FYI, there is no spectator fee. Hope to see you at Watt's show in August. Take care!

Randy, The wifey and I plan to attend. I have a question...will there be NIT?

Hey everybody...keep the political stuff for another site. BMT is to discuss Mack and truck issues. A few jokes and personal items are okay but please keep the political (and any religious) discussion for another forum. You ask why many of the "old timers" are no longer here...think about it. As a few have mentioned to me in private "tired of the political BS on BMT". I know Barry does not want to censor any discussion, but this does not belong on BMT. Several other forums that I frequent will BAN such discussion and also many times the poster. We all have our opinions but this is not the place. End of rant! Have a good day and let me know when you want to discuss truck issues. I am gone....

Wingate did not have scrapple during breakfast. All this talk about scrapple has my taste buds excited. Going to buy some scrapple this week, fry a batch (crispy on the outside), and spread with apple butter. Yum yum!

Good looking decal. Let me know when they arrive and I will stop in and buy two (2) or more. And if you decide to offer a tee shirt....colors other than black.
