Those are some big long curved peckers I’ll give you that.  But that’s not what I’m looking for. Lol

I'm clueless, but someone once told me peterbilt triaxles are typically set up that when you set the parking brake the lift axle comes up?  No idea if that's true/common setup or not.  No Mack I ever drove did that.

Yes we have one set up like that where I work. .  2005.    the 1998 isn’t set up that way

Weren't they built in Somerville??

Yes they were

Shertzer used to be a common low bed around here. Think they went out of business in the late 70s there about   That were built pretty heavy as were most back then

they have flashers that’s buzz as a reminder for the driver to shut it off.  Do you have one of those??  

What are they shifting automatics manually now  so the can use the jake 😆😆

I can’t see it. Is it only me?.

As long as no one was hurt. Not including your pride  that’s the main thing

Ya know I drive an 87 a car just like that for 6 years and I don’t remember what the emblems looked like or said on them.  Shame on me 

Look to see if it has a parking brake lever in the cab make sure that’s off

Not leaking but when you take your foot off the brake pedal is it exhausting the air I’ve had them not releasing air and releases back through the foot valve.     just a thought 

Make sure the quick release valves are working if not they will bleed off through the brake valve

I would prefer a HilBilt myself, but you see a lot of MTM, Kruz, and Bufalo’s running around.   

 I liked the old steco dumps. I pull a kruz once in a while and I hate it 

Maybe a k. The last k I was one was about 15 years ago Hard to remember 

Maybe he meant so say go grab lunch 😀😀

Did you try pai I know they used to sell them

Don’t forget to make sure all your yokes on trans and rear ends are tight too.  I usually chock the front wheels release the brakes and jack up the rears  when I do this so it unloads the driveline

Biggest Is EGR system and cam 

Well that’s the second time I’ve seen that happened.  Luckily the fist time the guy was making a turn At an intersection I was behind him when he stopped suddenly. He got out walked back to me handed me the wheel and said here it’s your turn to drive.  I said wow good thing you weren’t going down the hiway.  That was a b81  

Drove a dm with one of those in. Wow didn’t think I would ever see one again

Doyou have a pointable thermometer guns? . Check for hot and cold spots on the radiator and hoses. Often colasped  hoses are overlooked  those thermo guns come in pretty handy  I’ve had a water pump fins shear off the shaft also. Just some food for thought

This turning into a pissing contest. I’m done.      it’s way off track
