Used Double Coin for years, no problems.  Good quality, good price.  

Always used Peak Final Charge Global 50-50 premixed in my trucks. I think it is red.

Have run lots of Double Coin steer tires. Never any problems. Held up well. Good price.

Used Baldwin exclusively for oil, fuel and coolant filters. Never had a problem with them.

Welcome to Ga.

Where is the truck salvage yard? Kerns outside Hotlanta?

Wish you lived near Savannah, Ga.

Run in and out of the port Mon - Fri 6:30 am - @ 5:00 pm

Round trip is a LONG five miles

Home very night.

Looking for drivers (who, like you, can actually drive. What a crazy concept).

MightyFruit:

Glad I could help.

I've gotten so much good advice on this site over the years, I'm pleased to be able to return the favor.

MightyFruit:

The value of your truck is its current fair market value established by sales of comparable trucks in your area.

This is likely set out in your insurance policy (the fine print boilerplate that no one, including me, reads until its too late

Any specialty equipment you can document may help increase the fair market value (ie the 460 engine etc).

A vehicle appraiser with experience with class 8 trucks may help get the FMV up (it costs some but I'd pay a couple hundred bucksto get a couple thousand more every day of the week).

Add in tax tag and title. I assume your fuel tanks were full? If so, add that in too.

If you want to retain the truck the insurance company will pay you the fair market value minus it's salvage value.

Salvage value can be either scrap metal prices or what a truck junk yard would pay to buy it so it can be parted out.

If you decide to keep the salvage watch out for your state laws regarding putting the truck back on the road.

The insurance company will likely give you a salvage title with the truck and your state DMV may not let you register and tag the truck with a salvage title.

Thanks. Where in Mass? (that's we're I grew up). Happy to buy it and have it shipped.

Anyone know where I can get a heavy duty 1" thick hitch plate with the "Mack" script or block letters cut into it?

Thanks Rob

Can't fuel my ford f-250 up with out fuel blowing back out of the tank every 2-3 gallons. Any ideas?

does anyone know where I can get an electoral diagram for a 1989 Ford L-9000 tractor?

Should be up by Monday. Sent the heads out to be magnafluxed and checked out

Mowerman. I'm relatively new here and am trying to learn all that I can. What is it about the underside of this truck that concerns you? Maybe a simple question but I've got to start somewhere

Great advice guys. Got some nylon sheet cut it to size and we are back in business. Thanks.

Dirtywhiteboy. You were right on the money too. Thanks

Rob you win the prize (again). Head gaskets are blown. Heads need reserfacing. Other wise no damage. Thank you to all who gave their thoughts

Mack ch613 w/ e-7 350 hp coolant overheating/bubbling out of the overflow tank

Never got over 170-175 deg on dash guage

Help

Any ideas

Thanks in advance

I have an engige overheating problem.

It only overheats under a load on 20 mile or more trips (we run very short distances)

I can run it all day long under a load on short runs 10 miles round trip and it never over heats.

20 miles +, it over heats every time.

When it does overheat if you back off the throtle it cools down fairly quickly.

Belts are good and tight, raidiator fins have been cleaned out.

Any thoughts?

Thanks 41chevy

Not dopy at all

I will take any and all help I can get

Thanks again

Thanks Rob.

While not the answer I was hoping for, at least I know for sure what direction to go.
