  1. Went to New Concord, Ohio yesterday to pick up an 85 Magnum. We showed up with a trailer to haul it home. It was framerails and axles. Had to put the engine and trans together and in the frame along with putting on the tires on.

    We loaded up all we could from 8 am to 6 pm. Gotta go back to get the tanks, fenders, and all the new parts that were stored in the sleeper. This guy has bought everything new. Im talking new Mack frame bolts, dash, new hood down to the last stock bolt. Its insane the money he has spent on this thing and just wants us to put it together.

    I will try to post some pics before and during our progress.

  2. I order parts eveyday at CIT (Champaign Illinois Trucks). I was up there the other day and they have had many break ins on there lot. There were stealing cb radios, gps, stereos and more. So its going around up here in Champaign. Stealing doors is getting pretty bad.

    The people in this country amaze me, causing so much hurt to others. I know its a little off topic but my friends girlfriend just got her purse stole at wendys and before she got home to cancel everything the tried to drain their accounts personal and trucking account. Within 5 hrs they tried to 3 or 4 loans using their credit. The thief was calling the bank as they where there personally changing the account info to start a new one. The nerve of such piece of shit people now days. This happened just yesterday and he is gonna take Monday off to make sure his trucking account is not affected since him and I where out of town rescuing a Mack Magnum....

  3. Has anyone ever had any issues with the M Drive? He is my situation, we bought 2 2013's off of Iron Planet. We drove to Georgia to pick them up and only brought one back.

    U could build air, push the yellow button in and while holding the brake put it in gear and move the truck. The next time u make a complete stop the truck would not move at all. U could mess with it buy building air and tapping the brake pedal and eventually get it to move and it would shift and fun perfect till u make a complete stop.

    It seemed to me there was a connection between holding the brake pedal down to let the trans shift in at a complete stop. Im not sure if there is an airline that goes from the foot valve to the trans that was causing this issue. The air app. gauge was showing it was holding air somehow and not releasing to let the truck move. the truck would go in gear but the brakes would lock the truck down like u were holding the brakes as tight as u can.

    The reason I ask about the trans is cause it only did this when u stop and make a gear selection and or just make a stop period. Trans shifts but the brakes are locked.

    It rained in Atlanta for 3 hrs straight and when it quit the guys closed the doors to go home.

  4. Ya Ted Ellis has been pulling it for almost a year and a half.
