My MH is single axle with spring rear suspension. It is like riding a bucking bronco without a trailer. The air ride seat helps "tame" the ride. If I put anything in the sleeper it needs to be secured otherwise it will be on the floor. My trailer is a 28' drop van with single axle air ride. With the trailer connected and very little weight in the trailer, the MH does not "bounce" around. I like the way it handles and rides. I have a several stacks of furniture blankets and a small storage trunk in the trailer. The items don't move around the trailer. The added weight of the trailer on the fifth wheel helps improve the ride too. I never pulled a spring suspension trailer with the MH but I would recommend an air ride trailer based on my experience.

AC had some great products. AC was the first farm tractor with a turbo. My only complaint with the tractors (WC/CA thru 190/210) was the lack of a "true" live PTO. The transmission disconnect was their answer until later tractors (6000 series IIRC).

Jim, If you wait long enough they will be in style. I still have my white belt but I think I disposed of my leisure suit and white shoes...

Thanks Whiskey! Now for the $$$$ question....where were these pictures taken? Anyone recognize any of the people? White shoes and white pants...definitely 70s.

You must be using WIN8 w/IE11.

Yes, I posted the Bulldog cover and here is the thread.... http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/32505-mack-bulldog-magazine-cover/?hl=bulldog

He is training his grandson how to find old Macks!

Tom, Nice picture story. I would have checked the "LIKE THIS" box but Hat would accuse me of "liking" because of the Winfall lass! BTW, you look much more "civilized" after the trim.

If it is fuel being sprayed around/on the manifold....BE CAREFUL....you might have an "underhood event."

I don't like buying anything sight unseen but the seller needs to provide details and detailed pics. Sometimes sellers don't want to take the time, they just want a quick sale. Not saying this is the case with the Superliner but just saying.

Make sure you transfer your original (old) VIN to the "new" cab.

Happy Belated Birthday

Hee Haw!!!! No offense taken. I was going by memory and my memory is going. Did not know bout Fs being upgraded to 3306.

Dr. Don and the Museum comes thru again! A BIG thanks! 1. As best I can tell we did not sell all-wheel drive MH’s to anyone except UPS. This was a specific application; the purpose of the trucks was to shuttle doubles over the western mountain passes in winter weather. There were two GSO’s. 2. Engine: EM6-300 (300 HP @ 2100 rpm), Transmission: TRDL1070 (10 speed), Transfer Case: TCS15, Front Axle: SDA16 (Fabco 16K, 4.62 Ratio), Rear Axle: R170 (Rockwell 23K, 4.63 Ratio) 3. The specs are somewhat ambiguous as to whether they had a manual lock-up for the front wheel drive. I’m also not sure what the S stands for in TCS15; I’ll do some more checking on that and get back to you. Guys - remember the Museum in your donations.

Good luck in your new endeavor.

The computer will "derate and disable" the engine in EPA 2007 engines and later if any of the aftertreatment system is altered or removed.

Are you suggesting removing the emissions aftertreatment equipment? If so, it is illegal to remove such equipment.

EZ, Does a person need a "permit" to buy R134A in bulk?

Not familiar with a RD...is the dimmer switch on the floor?

Okay girls and boys...here is what Dr. Don S at the Mack Museum has to say: The UPS 4x4 MH tractors were built to be used to shuttle trailers over mountain passes such as Donner Pass on I-80 in California. Without doing a lot of research, I found 13 chassis record cards on two different GSO’s. The headlights were installed in the bumpers to comply with the 54” maximum height limitation. The normal grille openings for the headlights were filled with covers cut from a standard grille. You can see two of the cover attaching screws for the left cover panel on the MH612-003 photo. Thanks for another GREAT job by Don and the Museum.

Welcome to BMT. My suggestion is to edit this post to just an intro. Then post your electrical issue in the Electrical forum.

I had a bad experience with a trickle charger/battery maintainer. The charger showed full charge but the battery was dead (bad cell). As others have posted, check the batteries to be sure they are holding a charge, check cables, clean connections, and connect properly. If it still does not "crank" then you can start looking elsewhere. Until you confirm charge and connections it is a "shot in the dark". P.S. Since it is a U model, maybe you need to install them on the "right" side. Sorry Vinny!

Remember, this is the guy who took his Superdog on a joy ride last year and had a "snow issue." My MH is "tucked away" and will not see daylighit until the snow and salt are gone. I just hope they are gone by May so I can get to York.

The trim angle of the upper outer sections is different than the lower headlamp sections. But anything is possible. I sent a note to the Mack Museum to find out if they have any information.

A friend told me "we are given a finite number of heartbeats. Problem is we don't know how many." My brother (just shy of 63) was walking along the road by our farm and fell over dead - massive heart attack. Sad news to hear of anyone but we can't get out of this world alive.
