    They dont look like spring parking brake pots to me.Look like the brake pots on the front axle of our Mack... Paul

    Thanks Mark,I do understand the cooling arrangement but the question I have is why is the vent hose of such heavy construction and does it vent air as described by Geoff, since its from the highest point on the engine to the highest point on the rad.I have to say our Cruiseliner was the easiest vehicle I have ever filled with coolant.I filled it to about an inch below the filler neck had coolant at all the bleed points instantly ran it to working temp and didnt even need to top it up!!!

    Im finding this very interesting...Heres a picture of the set up on our Cruiseliner.The top water hose(silver) goes from rad tank to stat houseing.Then a hose about 1 inch in size goes from bottom of rad tank to the bottom hose where it comes out of the oil cooler and a small hose from the water rail to top of rad tank.The hose from the water rail is very heavy duty.It has bullhead fittings and is like fuel grade hose.I have wondered what its for......

    10 years?? No bother to you guys.My dad lived untill 84 and he always said the secret was to always have a reason to get up everyday,eat well, a dog and a shot of whiskey regulary,not everyday but regulary...... Paul

    Very intetesting Geoff.Id say that yard full of Freightliners was a sight to see.Id walk around it for hours just looking.Im sure it was a difficult time for them trying to shift that much stock.The cabover to conventional conversion is something I love to know more about..... Paul

    Nice.Yeah just never seen that type of set up before.Interesting they used the R model chassis for the F but then what real difference would there be in a chassis between a cabover and a truck with a hood?? Paul
  14. cruiseliner64
    Sure is.We are right hand drive in Ireland.What surprised me was the left to right conversion.Neat job... Paul

    Am I seeing this right?...That drive across the dash is for the steering??? Never seen or heard of that set up before but if it works then why not?..... Paul

    Yes that is a horrible memory for anyone to carry and it is my greatest fear that someone dies on my watch.Too many times Iv seen the devestation a driver goes through when some poor soul decides to end it all by jumping under a train.Known as a "ONE UNDER" on the railroad it has ended the career of many of my collegues.It hasnt happened to me and I hope and pray it never does but Iv been out ten times to recover trains after one and it is a horrible sight.How the emergency services deal with it day in day out I dont know but I have nothing but praise for them....... Paul

    Doesnt look like the Camelback suspention on our Mack.The shaft end nuts are wrong and the shaft hanger on our Mack splits in half,not wraped around the trunnion shaft.Yeah need to know what truck it came off... Paul

    Here in Ireland everybody pays Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) at 7% of your income.This funds medical treatment,sick pay and state pension when you retire.However it does not cover dental work.Its a great system... Private heath insurance is available but its so expensive its only for the super rich... Paul
