MACKS

Finally gona break down and buy a chrome bumper for my 96 cl,question is what size do I get,stay with 14'' wide or would a wider bumper look better,the price difference between 14 and 16 or 18 wide is only about thirty bucks more,what do you guys have or what do you think would look the best?

Holy mackerel- or salmon- that does look good. I've heard of that before, never tried it. They have the "shad planking" thing here in Va. every year, but i'm not sure exactly what it is.

Where do you get the cedar board? I have a cedar tree in the back yard I could chop down.

I guess you could cut your own but we buy them at costco,there only about a quarter inch thick.

1994 R series front hub has a little red cap in the center. It fell off and is leaking oil. I need a part number to get a replacement so I can use it this weekend. either that or MacGyver to jimmy-rigg it

Should be a number on the hub,take it to Mack or truck parts store,get some extras..

For tonight Salmon cooked on the grill on a pre soaked ceder board,for those of you that never tried this it's a must do,sooo good..pre soak the board for a couple of hours and I use this spice with an equal part of brown sugar,20 minutes on a hot grill and thats it..

Forgot to say thanks for posting those very cool pictures..

That rate still kind of sucks. I can imagine fuel to figure in and wear and tear and the rate is not enough. Just saying as I don't know the cost of living in New Hampshire is. The pic of the Pete is wild since you can only see sky next to the road.

That does sound low,down here on Long Island the norm is 100 an hr sometimes a little less for a fast payer..

I would pull it with the tires on,use a grease board,this way you'll get more leverage and once the seal pops out the drum and wheel assembly will come off..

I would use a body filler type material like bondo to fill and smooth the rough spots and than use a paint like rustoleum [sp] that has good rust inhibitor in it.

Not that it is the same today, but when I worked at my father's service station in the 60's there were primary and secondary brake shoes. The primary was the front shoe and the secondary was the back shoe of the two. There was a difference between the two. I think the primary was a bigger heavier brake shoe. My 2 cents worth for what it is worth.

Are you talking about class 8 trucks,been doing my own brakes for 25 years and this is the first time I ever heard of this!!

I never knew there was a difference..

Not sure without looking it up,just grab a 5 gallon bucket and fill er up,get your self one of those pumps that fit a 5 gl pail..

All of the above and one more thing,do not over tighten the fill plug and add a dash of anti seize to it.

indeed!

I cooked some fresh asparagus on the grill Saturday evening too- just cut it at Mom and Dad's Saturday morning. Wrapped it in aluminum foil with just salt, pepper, and a little butter. It was delicious, better than the steaks I cooked. Couldn't pay me to eat it when I was a kid!

lol,same here,now I love it especially when it's fresh picked,soooo tender...

Leftovers for tonight,I knew we cooked to much chicken yesterday..lol

Sounds great.have fun and stay in touch..

How do pieces that large make it down to the oil pan?

For me Chicken,corn on the cob,potato salad,garden salad and local asparagus..

How are you Sean?thought you were coming back to Long Island!!

Try mop and glow you will be surprised !!

LOL,a friend of mine used to use that stuff on his car,in and out,it was always shiny...

That looks great,also just a heads up,check the weld where that bracket is attached to the tube steel,seen more than a few brake and down goes the tank..

Do you use spotters to load the trucks or are they on there own,guy I work for doesn't,they use the horn on the miller,just a matter of time before someone gets there hood dumped on..

Home many miles on the fuel filters,check air filter restriction gauge..

Friend of mine has an 89 RD dump with original springs and trunnion bushings,he did replace the pads one or twice...

Nice find,good luck,I new a guy years back had a General ten wheel dump with Mack 58 rears,not sure what engine but it was the fasted truck around,havent seen it in years but I know it's still around and running,you Long Island guys must have seen it years back,anyway have fun..

I just got a free upgrade on sprint network,I went for the kyocera toqure smart phone,its supper tough has direct connect and decent camera has some new sound technology and works with out a speaker,sound vibrations go directly to your ear drum when you touch the phone to part of your ear,love sending pictures via text message,smart phone is the way to go,just get something durable,have fun..
