Joe the sad thing is thats the new Mack Granite chassis too, seems like double the fasteners Mack used on their chassis and they dont seem to be as rigid to me when your spreading rock. If you get a truck with Camelback that eliminates several fasteners that go with the T...I mean M ride but it still looks like hell to me too.

That last pic looks a little large for first gear, looks like a brudee cab on some custom frame with a custom trailer

Whew, kilts on rafters, things eaten by horses and somebody with nothing on under their kilt in a barn with other guys........man I'm glad I live in Tennessee!

Looks like a possible bad vent and a bad wheel seal to me.

You got a set of 3.86/3.87 or 4.17 carriers? I have 3.65 and want to go a little lower.

Thomas the air ride shouldn't run at high enough pressures to pop a relief valve, should only run 40-60psi loaded depending on which air ride and whether or not its set right of course. I would think if air ride built up anything over 100-120psi the hag would pop off the bellows before it could hit a 140psi relief.

I would run the Mack 10/speed until it broke or I needed a clutch then go to a 13 or 18. If you don't need to split the low side get the 13 itll be cheaper, and remember going from a 310 to a Mack 13/18 your rpm will run about the same in top gear but an Eaton is geared lower on the top end so for ease of install and keeping gearing the same go with a mack 313 or 318.

Company in west tn Eubank Paving has 20-30 of em, trades em in blocks of 5-10 every few years and always goes back to Volvo. There are very few other companies here that run volvos, several had one or two but all have gone back to kW, freightliner or mack.

I've never seen rubber on those, doesn't mean its not supposed to be there, come on long hood r guys what goes here?

Do that with an E9 and you could have done it at 1400rpm instead of 2500,lol.

I'll be honest...I didn't know anybody but Mack built a dump truck!(camelback)

Hey didnt you order a new Granite? is that it in your profile pic? I never saw anything about it.

Are you asking so you know how to destroy one, or to talk a friend out of it?

Well I guess I deleted it but there was a farer hauling corn in a gooseneck dump trailer over here a couple weeks ago, I wondered how many loads would equal one dump trailer load.

Looks good, I still like the look of an RD

Going from a mack 10 speed to an 8LL you will hate yourself quick, huge gear spacing from 7-8-9th. A 310m is a great vocational transmission with the multi speed reverse you have a gear for everything, a t318lr is a sweet trans too if you don't need the multi speed reverse. An Eaton 18 speed has nice gear steps and plenty of options for forward travel and is a much more forgiving transmission than a mack triple countershaft transmission.

ya,,,you need somethin to take out the lady,s come on back???hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...bob

For long downgrades the locomotive's will go into dynamic brake mode and the engineer will make a brake set and if needed make another set but once you start you need to be pretty sure of where you are going and what your doing. We have a helper district in Cowan Tn, they have been living trains over the mountain there since the early 1900's, most trains need help up but hold their own down so the helpers cut off on the move when the lead locomotive crests the grade (which is in the middle of one of the oldest tunnels too) look up Cowan Tn pusher and Cowan Tn tunnel.

Hasn't Mack hauled the national tree more than not?

Stopped in a left turn lane? Wtf man are there no parking lots in that state, idiots.

Gonna have to find a winter girlfriend, should work out just about right to go back to the u model before valentines day!

Ha, I shoulda thought of that!

That looks like the same load at the sammich stop, just spread out on two trucks cause they were using Pete's, should a brought a Mack to haul that load!
