I am looking for a pair of presto-lite headlight and mounting brackets

for a late 1920's Mack AB. Any suggestions are appreciated. I have teenagers

to put up for barter...

Greetings, I have heard of a few folks really disgusted w/ the gas job Dodge.

Why not look for a couple of year old Dodge w/ the 5.9 Cummins.

I can not say enuf good things about the reliability and gas mileage I get

with my '05 Dodge.

I'm putting some thought to purchasing a newer truck to replace the crusty, but trusty Dodge that has hauled my posterior around the country for the past 13 years chasing old trucks to bring home. It has performed this task admirably since I purchased new in March, 1996 without a single breakdown. Only routine maintenance tasks have been required, and it is always ready to go at a turn of the key.

I'm looking at a four door 2007, or 2008 Dodge with the 6.7 ltr Cummins engine, should I decide to replace this truck. My quandry is that I have several antique Macks that will perform the same functions as this Dodge just as admirably. This is where I'm leaning but Momma doesn't much care for the idea. She would like to have a truck, or car that delivers better economy than the Dodge, (V-10 gas), and is newer, than my 94 Olds Cutlass that I knock around in daily. Both of these vehicles are well maintained and are as dependable as a rock, so I'm in no hurry.

Does anybody have experience with these new 6.7 ltr engines? I've looked on the internet and read all kinds of horror stories from people not happy with them, but you know how people tend to exaggerate in a negative forum. I'm looking for real world experience with these cause I've not had a small diesel in a lot of years; and never an electronic controlled one.

Thanks,

Rob
