Geez Vin, I wouldn't take anything personally here. Remember its a TRUCK site. You have to be a little thick skinned if you're going to go on web forums. This place is tame compared to one of the 4x4 sites I used to go on all the time when I had my mud trucks. I think my first day three people told me to go F myself. Thats my kinda joint.

Just remember:

Thats to funny.

It was hotter than a whore in church here today.

I guess if the Cat truck is not a hit in the next year or so, Cat will just pull the plug on them and leave the guy's that bought them holding the shit bag..... Somewhat like the A-Cert engines??? I know first hand cause I own 4 of those fuel eating rocker busting $5,000 turbo sucking junks that Cat wants to forget that they ever made!!..(they are still in denial, just try an get any warranty coverage on one) And thats all I have to say about that!!

BULLHUSK

Anytime. Just glad to help.

This is what mine has on it. If you can't read the sticker numbers let me know.

No, its not my dad, its my grandfather, I call him Papa. My dad never really had anything to do about, then he was mean to Mom, then there was divorce. Which was actually a good thing. My dad also, when I see him, is always a cock to me.

Vinny always cherish this time with your dad and don't ever loose the memories. After my dad passed away when i was 3. I was always riding with my uncle in his DM600 hauling rock dust to coal mines in WV. Keep up the good work.

Thats the problem with this country. People don't mind their own business and stick their nose where it don't belong. Some one needs to bitch slap that idiot.

Vinny never said what the U stands for. DM is Dumper Mixer. U must be Upside down.

thanks for the reply mackcl96 i'll look into the mack 13 speed.

travistodd1 the old saying that if you own a truck you make alot of money. Now you can see there is not much money in trucking. Everytime you turn around someone has their hand out for some money.

Lmackattack you got it right on the 5 speed direct. The build sheet has the truck set up to run 59 mph. I really don't like a 12 speed. Did mack make an 8LL. Slpwlker the 18 speed and 3.70 was used to ask if Mack rear ratios were close to eatons. Example 3.65 Mack close to 3.70 eaton.

It has 22.5 tall rubber. The stamp on the rear housing has 3.65 on it. I checked the numbers on the rearend housing and the build sheet and all the numbers match. Unless the speedometer is off that much. Does a Mack ratio run the same as a eaton. My Kenworth has an 18 speed and 3.70 and it will run 75 at 1600. Thanks for all the replys

I would like to get more road speed and lower my rpm's. I have a '82 R Model with 3.65 rears and a 5 speed transmission. According to the speedometer it is running 62 to 65 at 2000 rpm's. Which transmission could I put in it to get more road speed at lower rpm's. I would like to run 70-75 at 1500 rpm's. Also I need a low hole to start off on a hill loaded 80,000+. I'm asking the experts on this one. Thanks.
