  1. I surprized you congradulates each other so early. A week before the Christmas day? I'm shure Vinny is a good guy. He don't want too much kikstands and fat pretty chicks. He would like "More U-models to everybody!" Merry Christmas!
  2. I visit big citys from time to time on holidays. Sometimes with a car or with a bike that's perfect for street parking. I stay overnight in little motels in 20-30 km from where I go. Have a breakfast and go into the city for a day time ending up with dinner. After it I run outside for cheap rooms. Sometimes I stay overnight in a center. More $$ but nice to see night lights and put myself in a local enviroment. Expensive? Not every day and it's holiday.
  3. Thank you guys for the info on cards. Sorry it's too late for me to order them and send to friends. It will be good enough up to next year. Anyway I will try the cards, have nothing of the kind in my neck of the woods.
  4. The U joints are not perfect for me. I can use them also but with more rework. How does the wobble when you apply brakes? Doesn't it gets slow when you brake lightly? You also can try to ride on wheels of one axle only. Place blocks between the rodden axle and the frame but fix them good. Need also to lock 3rd diff. It's not easy though, need to disassemble and put something to lock peanuts against moving.
  5. As far as I know there must be no relation. If we just imagine that fuel cuts off when no oil pressure you can't see any fuel from any injection lines but 3. If we continue to imagine there must be cut-off valve or something that locks pump's wreck. You probably get an issue of the injection pump sections or cut out valves on the pump's outlets. I don't know exactly the structure of END pump so can't tell you how to revise it. Look the manual. In general I only can say you must not disturbing any parts that determinates each plunger's turning position because it determinates the equality of fuel porsions to each cylinder.
  6. Make better this way. If no results you will continue with bearings. Don't mix the sources of the issue up. Divide them and follow step-by-step.
  7. 2:1 - good count. Who shortened out the RS's frame? And how does the shoulder?
  8. Quit high for me. Do you have flanges with 8 bolts around on the ends of pinion shafts for attaching propeller shafts or a U-part of a joint just out from the carrier? As for vibrations I also think around hubs or rims/wheels are out of a circle. You can try to jack each wheel, place some wooden block or any other static subject aside a tread area and look for a clearance turning the wheel over. A source of vibration must be an out of round shape, disbalanse or axle play of any heavy turning part. Propeller shafts also can though. Maybe you have water inside the tyres? I met that issue at once.
  9. You need a set of shims to fix up a point of contact. Set pinion and a gear in sertain position, apply some paint on teeth, load driven gear and turn. Then look for a painted trace. You need the trace at the center of driven teeth, make it up moving gears by putting shims. If a gear set isn't wored out too much you have good chances with 5-6 steps.
  10. Do you mean Mack-built Sherman transmissions?
  11. Did THEY look for your AC's right after you lighted out on Facebook?
  12. I continue to surprize guys about the country you living - hogs, elks and owls are everywhere! I used to see cats and dogs only around the roads. Maybe cows sometimes when cruising village areas.
  13. What the ratio do you have in your carriers?Maybe I will have an interest for gears if you really get another bogie roll in.
  14. For first you can put some pictures and the description on here. There are many factors such as a type of an engine/tranny, tyre's condition, truck's location and of course a general appearence. Vlad
  15. 1K for 2 nights for how many persons?
  16. Happy B-day! Enjoy the day, life and your Macks!
  17. The truck is in Holland, owned by Van den Herik. Not shure about Detroit under the hood. The truck was restored by Martin Monne shop in Holland. The owner has some other Macks including Superliner and the DM you can see on the background. All the trucks painted white-yellow-black. The unit behind the cab was made looks like a ballast body but really it's a camper.
  18. Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see your neck of the woods. You remember, I look for all the woods.
  19. Yea, that page requires Facebook registration. I want to keep myself out of. Sorry.
  20. I must say she's too hot! Neither snow on her shoulders and ... everything else.
  21. :twothumbsup: about the picture! Any plans to post a view of your garage gate Ben? Open&closed.
  22. I also surprized when heared, but it's in a bad shape yet. So I will need to rework it in the future. My truck has a sleeper originally. Hope there are factory screw holes.
