Finally some DM progress
mowerman replied to mowerman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Yeah, thanks Larry. That’s what I’m hoping. We had a lousy weather and I wasn’t feeling so good. I’ll be out there tomorrow trying to get the valve covers cleaned up and put them back on see what happens. I’m also going to tighten up that fuel leak. I had the same issue with a 180 naturally aspirated years ago. In a 62 F model The valve adjustment cured it. I was also poking around online and my fuel injectors are still available rebuilt 80 bucks apiece. -

ok thats some funny shit,,,,,thats why we all had to start on the dock,,,,,and train with a guy that started on chain drives

the cabs in those things were not built for very tall people,,,,only shot you got is to go from high back captain seat to a thinner shorter seat,,,which will give you more leg room but they wont be as comfortable as what you have,,,good luck ,,bob

It’s a no-brainer, but the other side never wants to disturb the dirt unless it’s lithium no limit dig dig dig I think we’re back to the original complaint. Why don’t we just do it here?

He did mention that Swift does not chain up . I did not know that it might have something to do with that because there was chain controls on Donner pass, and it was closed on and off for several days.

Well, that sucks but time changes everything. It looks like it used to be a firehouse.

It should be in parts wanted section but more people will see it here sorry I can’t help you…but watts was just recently offering rebuild kits for V8s but I don’t know what version good luck -
You know the floodgates have been wide open and way too long, and everybody has become mighty comfortable with the entire caper … and frankly, I feel our younger generation doesn’t give a flying hoot about bringing jobs back here and that respect the king is probably wasting his time anyway, but I gotta give him a hats off for the effort … bob

Ever since the company started in 1966 they have always been open to new ideas used to be Viking freight lines before Federal Express bought them I guess they thought they’d give these things a shot. Most of us didn’t like them some guys did.

Fedex bought a bunch of them a few years back. They were nothing but junk. They were smooth and quiet. Everything works real good heater air condition stereo but they were the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and I was always something wrong with them one I had it was down in deadline Like 12 times and nine months. I couldn’t wait to get out of that thing the company wound up getting rid of all of them in the next go around where peterbilts… bob
