Absolutely! That guy doesn't care what any of those clowns think or who gets upset hes does his job. Id say hes the most competent employee in the entire federal government. 👍

I was sitting in line waiting to load. I couldn't help but think of that 80s movie with Kurt Russell "Escape from New York" But then I started thinking about it even more and couldn't help adding some modern details to the movie poster.

Differences Pioneer and Anthem
BottleHauler84 replied to james j neiweem's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
That is definitely a sweet machine. -
You know, whats crazy about that whole deal is.... the entire country knows this, our government knows this, the people that vote for her knows this.....yet nobody does nothing. I was hoping our government could actually do something about this but maybe they cant, i dont know honestly. Its wild though thats for sure.

Well he aint wrong. They ought to throw all those scumbags out of the country. What a disgrace.

No no no Joey, the only time the democrats think someone is kind and generous is when they donate to illegal immigrants, criminals and criminal organizations like BLM and Antifa or any other anti-American groups.....now if Trump and his associates donated to those organizations instead of investing in our American youth, well they'd call him a hero and a great person.

I like doing stuff right or the best I can the first time. Theres times I've had to do things to get by or a quick fix i can do and go back later if necessary.....but a crossmember aint one of those times lol, im with you there. Especially on a nice truck like yours. It won't take much to make a super nice truck out of it. Its a good looking ride for sure.

I can confirm that the crossmember in your picture was in fact used on a RW2 and MH frame. I have that exact crossmember on my 1993 MH at the rear most crossmember position, however, it uses 1/4" thick spacers with it to fit correctly and thats from the factory. I've also seen that style on several different trucks. My 2002 CXU uses that same crossmember it at the rear most position as well, but no spacers. One thing I dont like about that particular style is I've seen alot of those get rust jacking in-between those welded together stamped crossmembers. If you can find a nice one, they are OK. Otherwise you have cut the welds, split them apart, blast the rust and repaint and then weld it all back. That sucks in my opinion. I prefer the simple 1/2" thick 90L4551M like we been talking about. I agree with you there, but that crossmember in the picture will work if you decide to go that route....you just might need spacers depending on the measurements of that particular one.

And dont forget Billy Clinton and NAFTA

I agree 100% with that!

CH Cab Differences
BottleHauler84 replied to farmer52's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
You know, you have a point Bob. The doors on the MD look about the same. I never really paid much attention because I just assumed it was a totally new designed cab from the look of the hood. The company im leased on to has a few MD company trucks. Ill have to look them over a little closer now lol. -
CH Cab Differences
BottleHauler84 replied to farmer52's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Gotcha. I always knew the fiberglass doors from CH and MH looked the same, but always wondered if there were small differences that would cause fitment issues. -
CH Cab Differences
BottleHauler84 replied to farmer52's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Not to hijack the thread here, but you're saying the MH and CH doors WILL interchange you think? I've often wondered about that and I never actually tried it for myself to know for sure. Thank for the info @fjh -
@Vladislav from what I've encountered, the QL4551M is whats on RW Superhauler 2 and MH Ultraliner 1/4"( or 6mm) thick rail frames. On the the double frame RW or MH, I've seen 9QL4551M2 used. Also, I've seen 9QL4551M2 used on single frame RW2 and MH with 1/4" thick spacer plates in between the crossmember and rails. The ones used on the R models were i believe 9QL4551M8. The were a bit more narrow to accommodate the narrow frame rails of those trucks.
