Amen!!!! That is what happened my last MH...had it advertised on CL....US guy told me he was going to use it....use it to export! It is a free world so once I have the money and they have the title...they can do as they please. But I will NOT KNOWINGLY sell to an exporter.

Pleading ignorance (which is not hard to do most of the time)....what is the purpose of a BCR? If I understand the nomenclature...a B chassis with a R cab and hood? Was this a factory setup?

You will know if you have diabetes....get up every hour to pee.

What is the dinger bell looking thing on the dash just above the speedometer?

WTF!

Dang! I reached my quota of "likes" for the day (didn't keep count). But I like the pair in the pink t-shirt.

Did the sauce eat a hole in the floor?

Anyone know the "like" daily limit?

Leslie - I think you need to sell your Superdog to me and at a drastically reduced price!

Dave is a good guy and straight shooter. Mack Test Lab would routinely run test engines at 10% and 20% over max HP in the test cells. Their philosophy was "tear them up in the test cell, not in a customer truck". I think Mack sent many pre-electronic engines out of the factory "hot". The limiting factor is the drivetrain and how much torque it can handle. Remembering my old "Cat house" days...Cat was conservative and the engines went "out the door" set at 0-2%. Not saying the engine could not make more power, they did not want to "give away" HP. I got "talked to" one time when I sent an early 350HP 3406DITA test engine out the door at 380. The test fleet loved it! After that I set them to 0-1% rated. Back then they used a smoke limiter. Acceleration smoke limit was 15%...I set them to 14%. There was a lot of "competition" among engine OEMs in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Now with the onset of emissions regs, it is all about emissions and fuel economy.

Mine is with State Farm and is around $250 per year (limited miles, no trailer, not for hire).

Yep, welcome home. OD ranks up there with "gone but not forgotten Rob". Speaking of hot sauce....it still lingers. It is a gift that keeps on giving!

Guys - thanks for the information. The pup trailer is still for sale in AZ. Perhaps I can find a Western R in the "neighborhood" and bring them both back to PA. The "search" is on!

Chuck, welcome to BMT. There can be some BS slung around here so be careful and forewarned. We like lots of pictures but please keep the fruitliner and neverstar pics to a minimum. If I remember correctly, Penske used to have some Macks. Do you know Ken McKibben?

Nice R. If it was a single axle I might have to start counting my pennies! Jake - sent you a PM.

Congrats! Post some pics when you get a chance.

Yea....what JT said!

Those look like real wimmin!! Is that you in the second pic with a big $hit eating grin? Be very afraid of the one in the lower pic.

Nice looking 'stang! Like the color.

Useless babble - Been to all terminals except Youngstown (I understand that is the smallest terminal). I thought B=Butler (BRM) but it is really in Portersville just north of Butler. Used to drive by the Cleveland terminal (which is really Bedford Heights) on I-271 when I worked in Wickliffe.

Keep it up (no pun intended) and you will need glasses!

Maybe she is internationally famous? Vlad - how about some Russian wimmin pics?

Talon is still connected with Mack but the "other" side. Vulva tries new stuff in their fleet. I think they are 100% Vulva now. I don't remember seeing any Macks.

Nice pics and thanks for posting! I thought maybe you were on a secret mission or got hold of a wommin hitchhiker! Sun shining in PA today (and yesterday). Snow on the ground and bitter cold forecast for early next week. Brrrr!

The one on the left is definitely a "head" mechanic. However the one on the right does not have dirty knees! Maybe the one on the right only "handles" the tools.
