  1. Thanks, I had a feeling, it just didnt make sense to me that a 1997 have such low miles, I am sure it has rolled over atleast one time. The truck looks rough but it has some great maintenance history.
  2. I know its silly to ask but i gotta be sure, is this 2.8 million miles or does the odometer only go to 999,999?
  3. I agree, they can't get any qualified drivers so they shove some sorry excuse of a driver onto the road with barely any experience IE. My cousin went to swift driving school as a community program paid for by city of Albuquerque. At the end of his 2 month training I picked him up and had him show me what he had learned, he barely was able to maintain lane, couldn't park to save his life and was about 50% prepared to drive on his own. I felt highly unsafe in the passenger seat as we traveled down I40 at night with hardly any traffic to contend with. He required another month trained by me, where we practiced parking, backing and pulling into spots, and maintaining his lane. I was outraged disgusted and down right concerned about how swift could manage to give him a class A CDL despite all of his inadequacies.
  4. I don't understand how the bail could be slashed so far down, I don't understand who is in charge of setting the bail, i am certain of one thing, this man will not face justice. He will escape his sentence due to these relaxed bail settings. I hope the community monitors his release and dispenses the justice that he rightfully deserves.
  5. Good looking rig, thanks for throwing it up for us. Sucks about the price, I guess it will be around for a long time.
  6. I was also wondering how he gets away with it, I bet he has that prepass device in the truck and they give him the green light on weigh station bypass. I bet he only drives at night too, the video was taken at night. Once he drives past a weigh station or a dot inspector stops through where he is parked while sleeping/on break he is gonna be sent to Guantanamo for the state of that truck. I think I heard him say he drives at 70 mph, I never take a risk with steer tires, and he states that he is always under there pre tripping and inspecting the truck, I would hate to see what neglect looks like by him. I need more videos from this guy. I need to get an update. I would like an entire series just him sneaking past weigh stations, in the dark of night. Voice-over by the guy who narrates deadliest catch. "American Outlaw Truckers".
  7. I would say, they are both very old trucks. Make sure they have maintenance logs to come along with that 27,000 asking price, that is really high especially for today's trucks, 450k is alot of miles, if it has been neglected. At the same time 10,000 can turn into 27,000 really quickly, whichever one is going to be more reliable would be my advice. If there is no service history for the e tech and the 10,000 dollar truck looks like a real turd keep searching, the truck market is on fire right now, tons of trucks to go around, make a good decision because profitability is difficult right now.
  8. Fellas it is a long loooong video, I personally haven't finished it. This Mack has seen better days, but the video is good. He had me entertained, and there are some tidbits of information here and there.
  9. Those have a very classy look to them. 10/10, thank you for posting the rims, I wish I could be around to admire that truck in person, what a truck. I would freak out if I saw that rig parked at a shipper.
  10. Behold, the ultimate form of the ultraliner. This is exactly what the guys had in mind at the mack headquarters when they cooked this baby up.
  11. I did some digging around, and I believe you. I am going to go check one out and I will post up some photos. I have to satiate the ultraline bug i have.
  12. They have delusions of grandeur. You're absolutely right about that! Now I have a question. Regarding the frame of that 653 with cat opposed to the 613 or 633 with cummins, we're they all the same dimensions or did the frame get wider with the nunber variations? And is the v8 MH still a 613? Or did it have a different code?
  13. I was wondering what these rims are made of, they look like unpolished aluminum, but I know that can't be right, has anyone seen em up close?
  14. Thats nice, I like that, thank you. Do you by chance have also the EM7 chart in that book? I was trying to draw up comparison of what these engines offer as far as torque values and when it throws it on/how long it lasts for.
  15. I would like to see the graph for 1992 EM7/E7, please. I have been digging around, hunting stuff down, would be really nice if you could help me. Here is something i found for a bit newer engine, for the hell of it.
