Pa. local police to start class 1 inspections
MACKS replied to lucerne tractor's topic in Odds and Ends
They say it's all about safety,last time I got pulled over by Motor Carrier he didn't even ask to see my license all he wanted was my over weight permit,it's all about the money.. -
Looking to change mine out,96 cl 58 rears,10 spline,right now I have haldex and they don't stay adjusted for very long,what are my options and any part numbers would be great..

On Long Island we already have the state the county and the sheriffs all doing truck inspections,that's more than enough to keep us busy..all most forgot the dec,but they just do mostly emissions tests. -
making progress.

You can use roof or window flashing from home dopy,same stuff for a fraction of the price,used it on my RD years back and it took all the vibration noise out of the metal.. -
Nobody could be that gay,could they?lol

MACKS replied to Ardenmack's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Might be time for cab mount bushings,not a big deal if that's the problem. -
Now you must pass an eye contact test!!!

Are these for the Superliner,if so I would save up and get 12.00's the taller rubber will look much better,just my 2 cents.. -
charging battery
MACKS replied to markpwhit's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Years back I hooked up a charger to my dm800 walked away and both battery's exploded,sounded like a double blast from a shot gun.. -
The straps are the way to go but from what I read online you need a strap rated for double the weight of the truck you are recovering,they are very pricy for the upper ratings,they come up to 12 inches wide for the extra heavy loads,sure wish I had one for this blizzard,using a chain was not only a pain but not very effective..
-
That's the only downside I can see because they will run rings around a std trans empty or loaded...
-
Just saw this,thats it but its a flat strap and way much heaver,never saw one to buy in the truck shops,gonna look on line for one..
-
Not a cable it looks like the flat tie down straps but much wider and thicker with hooks on each end,kinda like a snatch strap,lol you know what I mean..
-
What about those tow straps,look like they work pretty good on the show ice road truckers,they hook em up and take off like a bat out of hell..
-
LOL the Supervisor was on vacation and the acting superintendent of hwy was out the whole storm with a tooth ache,what a wimp,It wouldn't make any difference any how,to few trucks and way to much snow,there gonna get there asses kicked anyway...
-
Holy chit,what a storm,did 70 hrs strait for the Town of Brookhaven,they were totally out gunned,they have so few trucks and most of the contracted trucks are pickups,all the pickups quit on Friday night,they couldn't push the snow,blowing trans and just getting stuck,I had to put full loads of sand on my trucks to get around and was still having trouble,been plowing for 40 years and never saw a storm as bad as this..
-
Yes Noreaster for sure,there talking feet of snow for some with blizzard conditions...
-
Are you in the blizzard watch area,there saying 75 mph gusts here,blood money but I need it..
-
Bring it on!!!
-
Could also be from a weak power steering pump or low on fluid or clogged filter!
-
A quick way to check for leaks is to spray some starting fluid on the all the intake connections while the truck is idling!
-
I believe Michelin and Goodyear offer one peace caps with the original tread style,one piece is the way to go, keep the air up so they don't get to hot..
