  1. i have used the truckomat at larame,wy. got good service there, but they have wyo tech diesel school about a mile away. i think they get young guys that enjoy their job. from now on its them or mackpro.
  2. spent 4 hrs overseeing the cleanup, another free meal, allong with ass kissing. got offered another free prem. pm. told the guy i got one of those in my truck allready, gona have to use it for ass wipping, cause you assclowns will never be close to a piece of my equipment unless you can explain the loose driveline after all the other bs guy says i don't know what to say. i replied my point exactly.
  3. you will like that hoist, cover keeps the grit out, tronion mounts to the bottom of the box,more stable with the upside down desine all the grit falls away from the packing instead of into it. very trouble free setup.
  4. if it had been cooler, i would have just left at 4pm when thet hadnt started on it. but with the heat it was very important to get my oil change before hitin them hills west of denver. truck comes first.
  5. grabed a load of trailers out of mt.pleasant,tx.going to vernal,ut. hot as heck. with the 108dg temp i was thinking i had enough time to get an oil change befor i hit the mountains west of denver. it was sat. morning, with only 400 miles to go. sounds like a good idea. NOT stopped in limon,co. at the T/A about 11am. got registered in, it will be about an hr. befor we get to ya, swift truck just pulled in the bay. so i eat a setdown lunch at the cafe. i came back at noon. they said we are ready for ya, just trying to find the driver to get the swift truck out of the way. at 1:30pm driver comes threw the door grumbling why did you guys have to ruin my lunch. manager points to me, and says why dont you ask him? he has been waiting to get in that bay for an hour and half. the guy signs ticket and hauls ass. still all fun and games. im not much on drivers lounge, so i get my little stool and find some shade.at 4pm they still havenot touched my truck. im hot and impatient,so i get grumpy. ask manager do i need to play my rediculus card or what. so they get right on it. and throw in a trailer lube for my troubles, all is well, with plenty of time for del. 5:15pm i make it out with just enough time to clear the mountains befor dark. damn glad to be outa that mess, i hit the road like i stole it. when three miles down the road, it shuts down. i look in the mirrors, it looks like the exxon valdees. in my agravated state, i call and have a chat with the manager. shortly thereafter, personal vehicals, and service trucks are swarming, with cases of motor oil and conming the area lokking for the oil plug. as i stand there looking at my truck with 12 gal. of oil, evenly dispersed and dripping from all the flaps and tanks. 3hrs. later with darkness looming, the manager has the task of explaining to me, why he is going to have to tow my truck back to the shop, and wait for morning to get an oil plug. found out limon means, LOST IN the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE so they put me in a motel, offer me dinner. so at checkout time i walk across the street, and find my truck not ready. not cleaned. and my easy going mood starting to change. so 5hrs. and 400 miles later, they have produced an oil plug. a half harted effort of cleanup, and documents that they fuckedup and will remberse me for the detailing of my choosing, a free premium service, some meal vouchers, i was ready to try it again. manager followed me to my truck appoligizing, when i get there i turn and say, ive been a good sport about this, humer me and let me see someone put a wrench on that driveline. and that is when biggen came unspooled. the same IDIOT that left my oil plug loose had forgot to tighten the driveline, after removing it for towing. made it to vernal,ut. by 4am. but for some reason couldn't sleep for the 4hrs. waiting to deliver and that my friends is what you call a CHARLIE FOXTROT.......... the manager bill, is a very hard working honest guy, called me the next day, got it setup with corp. so i can go to any T/A for immediate remburse on the cleanup. could tell by his voice, he was ashamed of what happened on his watch. i feel sorry for him, my ordeal lasted about 34hrs. he has to be responsible every day for a bunch of assclowns, that are only working till they can figure out how to get wellfare checks.......
  6. put on new steer tires, and altinater, bought a cabinet and catwalk and strobe, becons, lightbar, last trip. when mackpro gets his hands on it i know he is going to put a new air compressor on, and download that program.and i want him to install new jukebox. im trying to steer clear of him for another month.
  7. i was going to use one for my rear axle dump valve on the trailer. the other for all my oversized load becons, all LED less than 10 amp for all. so i can just hook to the switches, and im good to go????????????
  8. i have 2 unused factory swithches on my dash, one has a picture of a key, the other a battery. i assume key works with key on, the other all the time. do they run to a post on the firewall, or will i need to run wires all the way to the switch????????????
  9. i have a rawhide i run coast to coast,i am in no mack land as much as anyone, i am a mack lover all the way, the styling engineers dropped the ball on the titan, it looks like a cob job.
  10. wich one looks like the stepchild (valva says to mack) it cant be that hard to put a ch cab on this chassis, here is some nails and 2x4 blocks and a couple hundred bucks, make it work or do without no offence intended, just the way it appears to me.
  11. yes rates have went up about 15 cents in the last 24 months. the only problem is operating cost have went up 65 cents. im still getting my ass handed to me
  12. just wandering if fjh tried that program yet, or is every one waiting for me to be the ginnypig whats an air comp. and this thing gona cost me.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ or should i keep going going to houston where i can kick some largecar butt
  13. im lucky, i only think of mrs bigen as the day we met. im preety sure i could do the same with that.
  14. as far as the fan kicking on countless times, sounds like overcharge on freon. see how it does with the a/c turned off. high head press.or head press.switch will make it kick in exessive. i would call the temp a good thing, lots better than 210. mine runs around 160,170 but i had an overcharge issue with the a/c that kept it around 150, fan allways kicking in. hope this helps.
  15. i was demoed an 04 460 18spd triaxel from f@c in st,louis, thing ran like a freakin dragster,i smoked everything in town with it. but later heard it had a demo engine program, and would be detuned at first service. is there any truth to that??????????? fan was loud as hell, with that kind of performance, i didn't care
  16. maybe mr. mcbride could use this. i would trade out in shop services?????
  17. mrs. bigen wont let me use it in the house, some bullc#$p about the smell of diesel is offencive to most people.
  18. yes i used it to vacum my yard, did a very good job.and it has a diesel engine. wish i knew how to add a link, they have a vidio that is cool.
  19. if you google madvac101d it will give full discription and demo these things are $25,000 new and around $8 to $12,000 used. i have $3,500 in this one
  20. what are the chances of that 350 actually being a 237???????
  21. i had a dm doing that. it has a thermostat thingy that makes comp. cycle. a/c guy fixed it, cant help with how????????????? it looks like a thermocupler on the coils inside.
