well thats quite an achievement,,,we,ll all proud of you,,,bob

aaaaahhhhhh,,,teeeeeeen!!!!!!probably just a bad photo,generally i like that shade,,i guess a little darker..bob

theres a good reason,we call them cornbinders,lol they belong in the fields...bob

ya,the maxi only locks the drivers,,bob

burgundy,baby,,,red wine,only way to go...oh welcome back by the way,,coming along very nice..you certainly have allot more patience than i do...after talking to you,i took out my dm600 model (parcially assembled) put it on the table,and thats as far as i got..lol good luck...bob

hey welcome aboard,,i saw the sac,and thought i had a new neighbor,,,not to many of us mack fans this way,,hehe..nice pickup,,,have fun...bob

also generally,when it looks like thier going from 2nd to 4th,on the augsilary its an overdrive transmission ,thats the way thier setup thier actually going from lo to direct,then the up position is overdrive,good luck bob

the reason for that,is its the same gear ratio as the gear you were in..such as the ten speed duplex,generally you skip 5th low,and go from 4th hi,to 5th hi..if you try to go from 4th hi,to 5th lo,its like going back to 4th hi,you dont gain anything,,now how confused are you???????lol,hopefully that all made sence,,,good luck...bob

not too hard to look at,,,that color could go...bob

wwhat a buncha show offs,lol.bigen thats a beautiful set up..bob

to whom it might concern,i work for fedex freight here in reno,and right now,i think thier about to order a bunch of trucks,,maybe you can send some pushy salesman over there and sell them some macks,now that we have a deealer here,might be a good time,bob

excellant

ya,and just like he says,,at least thats the way it was on the older doors,,and the sides,and top there were push in plastic snaps,every 8 inches or so,,pry a little section out,and just yank the rest of it out,and the window,and regulater.have to come out to expose screws..get a six pack n have a ball...bob

trust me babba,,cant be any worst than mine,with a full keyboard.lol!!!!.bob

you know guys i didnt even realize mack had bigger maxidynes,i thought 237 was it,i had a buddy with a 285,10 speed that used to go right by me,i used to wish i had at least that much pull,ya baby.least i wouldnt be the slowest chump on I.5.even a little headwind would feel like brakes dragging.hehe i also had no p.s,no radio,no ac,hot s.o.b in summer.and no air fan,,and that fan was loud,didnt even sound mack,it sounded cummins..dont know why...went from that to a 83 cruiseliner,,didnt really want the cabover,but it had 350 thermodyne,ac,ps,sterio, air fan.low mileage,quiet tight,my god it was like dying and moving on.....s--tin in tall cotton..hehe you know what im sayin,,,boy were dating ourselfs now...hehe these young kid dont have a clue.....ac,and tunes...you gotta be s--tin me?anyhow theres my story,probably shoulda kept my mouth shut on this one and probably owe gearhead grrrl an apolegy..all i could think when i heard maxidyne,,is you gotta be kidding me,nobody wants em.but now i understand allot more,and yes there probably perfect.from missouri to the east coast..but then again got to be a wise guy,and say i started on a two stick triplex,,,and if you dont like to shift,maybe you need a new hobby,,,lol...keep on truckin guys,,,and keep in touch...time for breakfast,woohoo...bob

oh dont get the wrong idea,my freind,im a big fan of macks,always have been since 68,owned 5 of them...i just meant didnt like that one.my next ride was a 350 thermo and a 9 speed,,man what a differance.woohoo..bob p.s.cant sleep.lol

ya,,,forgot to mention,the 350 thermo,with 9 speed was my very next truck,after the maxidine,,man what a differance,boy that was just a real pleasure to drive,also that was going to be my next comment.if you had a 427,or that.new 505 with that 6 speed,u might be in a little better shape,maybe take all the hills,with any weight in high gear...lol.bob

love your oppinion about the pete owners,that was very well put,,lol dont want to say it too loud,we have allotta them here...i bring up a mack,and they start yawning,and looking at thier watch..lol bob

man alive,,,thats some heavy duty machine,and yes i would also like to see it go,wow..bob

ya,,i am also a big fan of that combination,,,bob

oh,,,,by the way,10-4 on the cig,and coffee..lol,and appreciate the heads up...bob

ya,,,thats what we have to do anyway...wife is too cheap to pay the entry fee,,pisses me off,cause the veiw is much better,inside,hehe bob

ya,,,russ thats what we usually wind up doing anyway,,cause my wife is too cheap to pay entry..pisses me off cause the veiw is much better if you go in,,hehe bob

ya,,thats another thing ,,just like he said it..long pulls you need to drop.anyway,then your done till you hit the top.have to hear that fan screeming at you.hehe.forgot about that part been 25 years since i owned one...probably want to forget that part...guess its ideal if you can hit high gear and leave it there,all night.doesnt work here with triple trailers,and a mountain every 30 miles.bob
