    I owned a 1993 w150 5 speed with the V6... it was a turd.... but I didn't mind it. I swapped a 318 into it.... super easy. What a truck then. Better power and mpgs.... loved that truck (Why'd I sell it????)

    Has else anyone tried the high temp furnace rope and cement with success? I'm thinking it would still need a clamp of some form to hold rope + silicon in place. I am concerned about tearing anything apart for fear of ruining something and/or creating a leak somewhere else. I spoke with Francis, and he said $1200 for complete exhaust parts.... but in the post right behind this one a guy said after he had his worked on it STILL leaked! I tried a cement for exhaust leak repair already.. it blew out 5 miles down the road.

    I watched an episode of the Dukes of Hazzard last week... first time I've seen it in 20 years or more. Would you believe that Bo and Luke had black buddies... seriously there were black comrades of "the Dukes". Had a fast car and pissed off Boss Hogg. Race relations were the best they've ever been in the 80's. They HAVE taken a serious fall since Obama took over. I agree.

    What's a "Freedom"?

    Wow, that's cool. Never knew this. You have some bangin' Mack literature... I love reading it.
  9. Outbehindthebarn
    Just like mine.

    In the "real world" its true. Blow past an open scale with antique plates, farm plates, or something else with a load of your own toys, crops, or sail boat fuel and I GUARANTEE you'll be chased, harassed, and possibly found out of compliance. Unfortunately the law in PA is that passenger cars towing large trailers are required to stop at weigh stations. The weight limit for having to get weighed in PA is 10000 pounds (5 tons). Cops aren't going to see an antique plate until your pulled over. Isn't that what he's trying to avoid?

    How'd they ever manage to go downhill with that rig.... ??? Nerves of steel I say.
  12. Outbehindthebarn
    That is something I've never seen. A Mack with a 60 series in it....
  13. Outbehindthebarn
    Very cool. How'd they capture the sub?

    Didja ever see those wasp parasites on the back of one of them worms.... absolutely creepy. https://www.google.com/search?q=tomato+worm+wasp&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CB4QsARqFQoTCLak-rPFq8cCFUIaPgodHYoEVA&biw=1272&bih=680

    Hey, there's the picture I've been looking for... the 'down under' exhaust crossover. Always was curious about the right hand drive, left exit exhaust.

    Everyone wants their 300 to be a Plus+...

    Scale house stops are mandatory. Any vehicle over 10k...

    So you just fabbed up an entirely new cross-over? Did you retain the factory 90 degree elbows? What are they getting for the headers?
  20. Outbehindthebarn
    Is that what you did? Had a machine shop build new pipe?

    One on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1981-Mack-Superliner-30-ton-wrecker-/221850037193?forcerrptr=true&hash=item33a74aebc9&item=221850037193

    So my truck is leaking pretty damn bad at the joint pictured below. Bad enough the battery box lid is black. I attempted to heat bolt to remove short section of pipe and couldn't get it to budge. I then turned to BMT archives and found that these manifold parts are scarce and decided I didn't want a catastrophe on my hands..... Is there a doughnut in there that needs replaced or what??????
  23. Outbehindthebarn
    Boy 'o boy, they ain't kiddin' when they say things are more expensive down under.
  24. Outbehindthebarn
    $?

    Put a bolt/nut and lock washers in, loc-tite too... seems to have really tightened it up. I looked at my short shifter, it appears that the pin was welded on one end from the factory.. . Haven't had it on the road yet to see if the shaking is gone. Trans. mounts look fine to me.
