MACKS

Just found out this truck was working for FEMA hauling some kind of clean up debris,looked like mulch or maybe shredded wood to me,these guys are working 7 days a week not sure how many hours a day,also was told they are exempt from dot regs while in NYS doing storm work,not sure if thats true or not!!

I don't drive long haul or eighteen wheelers for that mater but I think he just wasn't paying attention when the traffic stooped in front of him,they said he hit 38 cars before the truck came to a stop,also it looked liked he was hauling mulch from one of the pictures I saw,that would mean he was a local trucker,see what they say tomorrow!

Looks like another black eye for the trucking industry,according to the preliminary reports this truck crashed into cars that were stopped or slowed down for construction work on the LIE,over 36 cars involved one dead and many hurt some badly.

I adjust mine till I get about 2" free pedal and my clutch brake comes into proper adjustment at the same time,on a side note why are you going through so many clutch brakes,one mistake is applying the brake or fully depressing the clutch pedal while the truck is moving,good luck and be very careful if you mess with the outside adjustment,you can get screwed up real quick if you do it wrong,don"t ask me how I know,lol

18 years,at least ya got your moneys worth out of that one..

The ones I remember were black boxes about 3' by 4" and bolted to the door panel, think they went right over the window crank rod that sticks out of the panel. In a R model your knee would hit it all the time if in the passenger seat. Forget about using it on the drivers door!. Thats how I remember them. CH cab might have more room but they are a ugly add on if you have a nice interior...

Probably why they stopped making them..

Chevy,thanks for the info.

I've got a couple of the external arm-rest looking units.

How do you think that would work out on the driver side door,would it hit your leg,should be ok for pass side.

I would suspect you could go behind the door panel? It would be a custom install for sure might look into that for my r model.

Very cool,you have a working antique truck with all the paper work..

these go on window crank. Used them on my 1988.

Good Luck!

I would love to have power windows on my 96 cl,has anyone done a conversion,also I remember years back someone maybe Mack made an external type electric window motor but I haven't seen one lately,any ideas or should I just keep cranking..

So i just did some research on the e7 350 mechanical. Did you know that its almost impossible to find anything out about boost pressures and what people have accomplished online? Well, it is. Anyways, i read that a guy was getting 35 psi on his and he has also seen older e6 315s get 50!!! now i know i have a misfire and the truck is currently getting the pump rebuilt and i was getting about 28 pounds but around 20 pounds and up the guage would be shakey. I wonder if it will really do 32 or so with a proper running pump now and not to mention turned about 5 percent! what do you all think?

I want to hear more boost numbers from everyone too and engine type Thanks

good point, if they were and the cables were hooked it could make a neat light show, and some welding noises in the cantact area. (not likely on newer plastic bumper crap)

A lot more costly but you should be able to find something at a marine store.

Not likely to happen but make sure the vehicles are not contacting each other.

First ya gotta pay uncle sam,that should be a nice piece of change,ouch that's gonna hurt..

I always had good results with wet-sanding and them compound and polish,just take your time.

One thing for sure,anything you threw away you'll be looking for in a few weeks,lol,never fails...

There was a speed calculator posted on here somewhere,I don't know how to find it but maybe someone can re-post it for you!

From what I can see in the pictures it looks pretty good,no spreading between the rails,if it's just surface rust it's no big deal,you'll be able to clean it up and paint it.

And yours doesn't have 10 rolls of duck tape on the air filter hose..lol

Same way except you turn the ring instead of the bolt.

That's gonna have a huge ripple effect to,don't ya think?
