Parts of it was really good. I wondered if it had been posted before, I hadn't seen it but I haven't ventured too far from Odds and Ends lately. I drove a 300/5 speed F model for a couple of years and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread 🤣 I was actually watching a video about the Titanic and it was in the related videos. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

davehummell Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I spent quite a few days in F models and in R models I never liked the 5 speed it got the job done but I never would have bought a truck with that five speed in it 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76593-maxidyne-video/#findComment-594933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Matlack, a tank hauler, had thousands of them, starting in the mid 60's..

Well, Jamerson Brothers here in Appomattox probably didn't have thousands of them. Maybe dozens at their peak? Herbert Jamerson was mostly all Mack in the early days and H.H. Moore ran mostly Internationals. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Some guys don't want to drive anything but a Peterbilt or Kenworth, because it's not a Peterbilt or a Kenworth though. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

But I had been driving 5 speeds with 2 speed rears in gas jobs before that.. I also spent a couple of days in a rental tractor with a 6-71 and 13 speed, loaded heavy with bulk cement for a road job... That was a learning experience!!!! 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76593-maxidyne-video/#findComment-595240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are at least my favorite type of vid My favorite videos when I'm in the mood are KT3406E's. That guy is a wizard with Cat motors and is honestly hilarious whether he intends to be or not. His most recent video about getting two 3406E core engines to run after buying from a mine wholesale was really cool to watch. If someone out there posted videos of similar but with Mack, I would absolutely follow it.

It's infuriating and just plain sad that it's getting more common, and is just being pushed harder and harder by all the tech corporations. Youtube is just about unusable without any adblockers now, you get nonstop ads on nearly every video now, and the videos that show up in your feed are usually trash. Facebook is full of AI generated content, probably because the average user doesn't have the same tech/internet experience as someone closer to my age, making it easier to trick them. Everything on the internet as a whole now is intended to attract and capitalize on your attention, and it blows. Spending less time on the internet and more time in reality is much, much better for us as people, I can promise you that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76593-maxidyne-video/#findComment-595269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Just saw a commercial last night for AI health advice. Wtf?? Shows a guy posting pictures of a rash and AI says" oh you have poison ivy, I will schedule a appt for you." They have bitched about people getting online and playing dr with trying to figure out what is wrong with yourself, now they give you AI shit and demand you use it.
