  1. Boy are you in trouble now, you can call a Mexican Hispanic and the Polish have thick skin, but Negro ?? even they don't know what they want to be called anymore, used to be Negro, Black, Afro, but not anymore, how about privileged or spoiled or you got it made and still complain ??? Just had to comment because down here in GA. we put up with their crap all day every day. They are the most unhappy race on Earth, Mexicans play circus music, listen to what the blacks play and you wonder why they are the way they are. and if you comment that I am picking on them you either live on a planet with out them or you are Lib and drink the same Kool aide as your fearless leader who has made race relations worse, you would have thought that a Black president would have made things better for his own kind but has made things way worse, just another failure for the chosen one.

  2. I don't know about supers but our RD required rear engine mounts instead of trans mounts, Mack trans hold up engine and trans, with Fuller engine is held up and trans hangs off.. about my comments on Mack trans holding up better, 3 countershafts work better than 2.

  3. Cool your jets, If you said you wanted it for your pulling truck that would have helped, 99% of the freight haulers want a 18 when they really need a super 10 or 9 speed, putting a fuller behind a Mack is normally more work than Mack to Mack if your truck came with a Mack trans, We have found the Macks hold up better to the high torque than the fuller 18 or 13, the 8LL have stronger bottom ends and 13/18 have stronger top ends, we many times gross over 500K and the fuller 13/18 seem to chew up the bottom side of the trans, we have had better luck with the Macks, but the lack of power has all ways been a problem, but 2 Mack 350s will do pretty good job and they don't eat up tires as fast, if we can get 20,000 out of a set drives we have done good. You need to pick a overdrive ratio and torque rating. Have you thought of putting a set of DT hubs in your pulling truck ?? 3 to 1 gear reduction at the flip of a switch, you would need to speed your truck up to make up for the reduction but the planetary would help with traction and lower your needed torque. a little pricey at 40K per set of 4. but you can spin the tire on wheel if not careful. is that better ???

  4. And after all this, O crap for brains wants you to know it's all our fault that no one likes us. If you would just open your arms and hug a Muslim all will be fine, peaches and roses, and the Libs suck up to this like a bee to honey. Oh and it's not O crap for brains fault because the Libs point out that he is Black when in fact no one else does. Stupidity know no color boundary, white, black, stupid is stupid and OBAMA is the poster child for stupidity.

  5. The biggest problem with the colleges is they sell the student on a degrees that means nothing, 4 years of college and you graduate with a degree in basket weaving. I battled with my step son for 5 years about his chosen path and degree, now he is 31 and his degree that his college counselors sold him on is worthless and he now admits I was right, does he go back or move on, luckily he like the Heavy Transport biz and may carry on. To bad I did not like it anymore.

  6. Now for the real answer, North American drivers just have not been smart enough to operate them, if it is not stupid proof than it just will not fly, those of us who driven in Europe and other destination understand how they work and are fine with them, now they have been tried and those that have learned to use them love them, in fact at the local KW dealer there are new trucks on the lot set up that way. back in the 70s and 80s Winn Dixie ran a punch of single axle trucks equipped with a belt that drove the rear axle, Salyer ran a KW with pusher set up, that would have been in the early 80s, been a bunch Canadian trucks that have had them for years and yes they do go better in the snow if you know how to operate them. so they have been around but you need qualified drivers and we have a lack of those.

    I wish we could get MAN trucks imported here but the pajama wearing flip flop hero steering wheel holders here would be lost in a real truck and if it does not have a snout no one will drive them, been told it's a penis thing or lack of.

  7. For any of you guys or gals that have a Western built Mack in the mid 1975 range I have all the unsold chassis inventory spec sheets as of August 12,1975, there were approx. 214 unsold Macks on the ground from Hayward (all appear to be Hayward built) at that time, I may have the original spec sheet for your truck printed in 75 and sent to all Mack dealers at that time. They are FS,FL,WL,RL and RS I got these from Al Wheeler in Las Vegas, he used to be the Mack dealer in that area, sadly AL passed away a while back but I was able save some of the old info. Letter was sent out by Garner L. Davis at that time. along with spec sheets and stocking location.

  8. Does not take a brain surgeon to understand that if the truck makers had worked on increasing fuel mileage that would have had a better effect on air quality, Double MPG cut in half pollutants and lower need for imported oil, not to mention less ships floating around burning bunker oil, instead less MPG, more fuel burned, more imported oil, more drilling in less developed countries with no pollution controls and somehow that was the answer the libs came up with.

    XL pipeline would be built if the owner of the railroad that hauls all the oil now would buy into the pipeline but then his railroad would not have a monopoly on the oil transported from the tar sands.

    The EPA is needed to protect the environment not become a political tool of party in office, that is what O crap for brains has done, just like the IRS, you go against the great leader and see what happens to you. If you can't win your argument fairly than resort to being the biggest bully on the block, that's the liberal way. shove it down your throat then tell you how good it is even when it is a complete failure, prime example our now pure crap healthcare insurance system.

    LIKE I SAID YOU LIBS MAKE WANT TO PUKE
