BMT Forum Bot Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I just "inherited" a truck that I know absolutely nothing about.Somehow, I wish that was unusual, but it's not. I've never even seen it.As a compensation for a Mack engine that I bought from a local company that had a cracked block which was unknown to me or the former owner, I have been given a Mack DMM-800, less the rear ends. The truck has a brand new Mack certified 350 hp engine and an Allison ---750 transmission and a retarder (once again - I don't know anything about it). So - now with Jimmy retired - he's thinking that this might be a good candidate for his "retirement heavy tractor". Doesn't everybody need one of these? And don't you like how he just assumed ownership.We have a customer that he has moved buildings for, for thirty years. They have several DM-800's with the rear-ends intact. Those trucks are pretty much shot, but the rears are alright - sooo....The building movers are in a little bind with Jimmy threatening to quit for good - can you smell the wheels of creation turning?Stay tuned.............View the full blog entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
