Hey hatcity, I feel ya pain down in wpb. Just sold my superliner dump,cheap of course. Have 2 petes 2 internationals tractors, couple off piggybacks and 4 flatbed trailers trying to sell. Gonna take my KW and go on the road till this economy changes. I need steady work or i go stir crazy

they would have to be tacos!!

, A new business opportunity with a huge upside ! A friend of mine just started his own business making landmines that look like prayer rugs. ... It's doing well. He says prophets are going through the roof. Do you want to buy some stock?

Ken, the constant air coming from that air line returns the shift fork to the normal position when you flip the air switch on the dash. The trick is the air pressure coming from the air switch has to be greater to engage the low hole shifter. Once you flip the switch to normal position that air pressure returns the the shift fork to direct hence the lock out releases the shifter. if that makes any sense

there is some sort of diode on the hot side of the resistor. if i cross each end and the fan switch is on high then the fan blows your hat off

Hey Hey, watch that fancy wordage, I am a owner operator and all my trucks are old enough to drink

i only have 1 mack dealer here. How would i go about getting it cause my dealer says that mack does not stock it anymore

I am going to take a pic of it and go to freightliner cause i think you is right Thanks Rich PS high speed does not work with this resister.

where can i get a blower motor resistor for a 87 superliner. dealer says no got! man I have a lot of trouble trying to get the simple things for this truck

that notch is where the detent ball sits!!

this is a broken and a good lock out

The air piston the actuates that low gear is to the drivers side of the shift tower. The low hole will only work in 1st speed as there is a lock out preventing it to engage in any other gear. I had a simular problem so i removed the shift plate on top of tranny wich is the one that the shift tower connects to and low and behold the lock out was broke and the broke piece was probaly chewed up by the tranny. if i can figure out how to post a pic i have a good lock out mechanism and i will post it up. I learned a lot about this tranny in a very short time. Some of the experts on this site guided me through it so you came to the right place. HOOOAH!

Hat, You have steel lines that run up your knuckle boom? As good of an operator that we think we are sometimes when we get cocky ,we catch a treee limb on a hose at the knuckle and that in turn tears up your piping correct? I use a shop in west palm called maco hose and rubber. If they dont have it then they dont make it. I have know these dudes forever back when i was land clearing and wood grinding. we had prentice 120 knuckles feeding the grinders and that was a common thing. Tel # 561 795 6200

isn't that some kind of hot sause?? just kiddin! and it is pronounced whista correct?

where in boston??

Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near a gas station that was closed for the night. They approached one of the gas pumps and the younger alien addressed it saying, "Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader." The gas pump, of course, didn't respond. The younger alien became angry at the lack of response. The older alien said, 'I'd calm down if I were you.' The younger alien ignored the warning and repeated his greeting. Again, there was no response. Pissed at the pump's haughty attitude, he drew his ray gun and said gruffly, "Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader or I will fire!" The older alien again warned his comrade saying, 'You probably don't want to do that! I really think that will make him mad.' 'Rubbish,' replied the cocky, young alien. He aimed his weapon and opened fire. There was a huge explosion. A massive fireball roared towards him and blew the younger alien off his feet and threw him in a burnt, smoking mess about 200 yards away in a cactus patch. Half an hour passed. When he finally regained consciousness, he refocused his three eyes, straightened his bent antenna, and looked dazedly at the older, wiser alien who was standing over him shaking his big, green head. 'What a ferocious creature!' exclaimed the young, fried alien. 'He damn near killed me! How did you know he was so dangerous?' The older alien leaned over, placed a friendly feeler on his crispy friend and replied, 'If there's one thing I've learned during my intergalactic travels, you never mess with a guy who can loop his penis over his shoulder twice and then stick it in his ear.'

my brother said it would be unamerican to let that icon of a mack truck to leave the states. After a little thought (10 seconds) i think ya'll are right . That nice truck would have chickens and cow shit all over it. And just to think what smell in the cab would be from the steering wheel holder, Whew!! this is the new steering whell turner mun!

sounds like a plan. I probably will have work as long there is someone with a pile of CASH to buy the truck. I have a couple of flatbed trailers w/piggyback fork lifts that i use,but that business is slow also. see at www.buddystransport.com

I have thought of this and would have to follow a truck like yours arund to get loaded. The problem is if these guys are for real they offered be way more than the truck is worth and work is so slow i might call them on it! As it goes i have some work for next week but have not worked with that truck for 2 weeks prior. I am going to see what happens. I am having trouble letting go with that truck to a country like that. It is a real cool truck and i have worked my but off getting everthing to work on it if ya know what i mean

hatcity knows whats up!!

2 haitian gentleman approached me today and asked if they could look at my superliner dump 1987. I said ok but dont touch anything in the cab. They had me open the hood and they checked it out and were surprised how nice the truck was and it was cold inside also. The stereo was playing a tobey kieth song i think and they had no idea what was up with that. they asked me if i would sell it and i asked what their plans were first before i answered them. they said it was going to be shipped to haiti to work on the earth quake. I started picturing 5 haitians trying to figure out how to start and stop this thing and most of all how to shift the 12 speed air shifter after a couple of minutes, i gave them my card and said call me later that i will think about it. so in the end whatayado??

They say that the the only dumb question is the one that is not asked! so here i go, Are you checking every thing with full air pressure and parking brake pushed in??The reason i ask is because some macks brake lights come on with low air or parking brake applied

It is a triaxle dump. I try to haul dirt with it but things have been real slow. Always looking for work !
