  1. I just want to know one thing. The few times I have watched he show they run 12' wide or so.They are having problems with roll overs. Know I have sen a Wstar in Ms with a what I assume was a 14' wide trailer axles and all. The trucks where 12' if memory serves me correct. Why not build a truck and trailer with a wider stance at is the equivalent of the trailer to be more stable? Not that much harder to turn. JMHO
  2. According to the marking on the frame it is an 01 Mack. top left pic. I thought it was low air leaf on a pete but had the Mack arch on the spring
  3. Groveton,Ga I think. At the rest area just before the East bound coops. Waiting for daylight and make tracks North.

  5. Sitting here in White Pine,Tn. Anybody around here?
  6. I might of missed it but have you had your front tires looked at. When my rears where out my rear shook.Hows the front end feel. You might want to look into Centramatics all the way around if you got Budds
  7. Thats why I had to do an inframe. Blew the head gasket. It had gotten hot and never cycled the fan and before I realized it the buzzer went off. But I think it was gone before that as it had for as long as I can remember owning this you could never fill the rad completely up. would blow it out the overflow. Long story short I started having injector problems about 2 months befoe the truck was downed. Took it to cat had a bad connection on one. It ran good but always seemed to get warm. This still runs warm and probally in a few months I am goingto go to Pittsburgh and get one of there radiators and thermostats stuffed in here. My other probs where just the manifold gaskets between the joints of the 3 piece exhaust manifold and where the turbo goes on.
  8. Makes me glad I got the pre Acert stuff. 98 3406E here 600. My main prob was turbo and manifold gaskets. Took care of that put a Pittsburgh power manifold on it and put a small muffler on as the straights got old and not enough pressure to keep from overspinning the turbo. What I was told.Also keeps my egt's alittle lower.
  9. I just hope now with them passing the budget or extending it that Monday I'll be able to order my Od permits I need. Or like some of the other states they Furlough the permit department 1 or 2 days a week or month and screw everything up
  10. Wow you guys are harsh on Petes lol. Well so far since the inframe minus taking it back because they didn't put a gasket on the front cover and it leaked oil. Been good. Little odds and ends other then that nothing bad. Did loose a driveshaft in SLidell and limped it home to Fl after shaker wouldn't work on it. I can't complain. just a few more little things to fix but hell they all have little bugs or something
  11. Not a problem. I just wish I could put one on where I am leased but they got a 15yo age limit on trucks. I'm gonna work on that though as I do want a Mack. Preferably a Superliner or Cl

  14. IDK if it is right but could it be 8.54? just can't see the other half
  15. it could be all trans for him like you said. if that is right unless he has a direct that truck should roll out mid 90's to say the least
  16. You got that right. Totally useless
  17. I'm running 4.11's with an 18 on 11 24.5 rubber it will run mid 90's I'd leave the 3.54's if you want to cruise. It should run if thats what your looking for.
