That's the best way to check for doneness, you give that bone a quarter turn twist and it pulls loose, it's done!

It looks sketchy to me. If you put the frame on tall stands and jack the front drive axle up to the stops, what does it look like ? GW makes good points

OK Joey, it’s my fault. We change the subject or maybe it wasn’t.

And yes, that’s baloney if they won’t pay for the shipping a big company like target they just get them from their warehouses and throw them in with their orders

That’s the reason I don’t order shoes on line anymore except for target all imported now and each asian manufacturer comes through a different size no matter what you tell them when I was working I ordered nothing but postal Oxfords and I had to return many of them. Amazon charge me a $45 restock fee now that I’m retired wear nothing but skater sneakers and buy them all at target

Thankfully they all got out … thanks for sharing

They should go get a job and take care of thier own affairs… I was floored watching these fools out there freezing to death holding signs in Minnesota… really???????

In most cases if the part shipped is incorrect the seller pays for return. If the person ordering ordered the wrong part then that doesn't apply and the buyer is responsible for the return shipping. That is mostly how it works here but there are times the parties involved don't agree on who is at fault.

What is the process for returning wrong parts in the US?? In Europe the customer pays the return shipping making returning some parts not worth it.This gets me every time because they shipped the wrong parts so why should the customer pay for it??.For example the axle shafts I got last week will cost 60% of any refund I could get returning them.I sold them for 80% of their cost cutting my loss to 20% ...Sorry for the rant but it bugs me.... And yes I gave the correct part numbers.... Paul

I bought a 1993 rd688s that originally had an E7-vmack engine in it. The guy I bought it from, had a mechanic put a 1995 E7-350 mechanical engine in it. My question is what trucks came with a mechanical throttle assembly so that I can find a pedal and linkage to get this truck converted over. thanks in advance

Joey, that looks incredible. I’ll be right over with a plate and a long face… you hear me

The question is what happens at the "worse case" situation where the shaft is fully extended by the suspension travel and the torque. A lot depends on the suspension used. expecting 2" difference to be absorbed by the slip yoke is asking a lot. It might work or the shaft may come out at the worse possible moment. Normally you measure the length needed with the truck on a level floor, suspension aired up, the shaft maker sets the slip yoke at the mid point with that measurement allowing for slip in either direction. Right now you are at the extended extreme, and have no more room for movement longer should the suspension require it.

The driveshaft moved 2 inches forward. The lines on the shaft and the lines on the slip yolk are flush or flat against each other. They are 4 inches of spline inside of the slip yolk.

Somebody on here posted tons of build sheets a while back I think it was double clutching weasel, but I’m not sure

I think a V8 engine was a B615, 633 was a turbo engine? terry

I just changed the transmission on my truck from the T310 to Eaton Fuller 8LL and Would it be OK for me to leave this like this or do I need to extend the driveshaft?

So this is the finished product. My wife likes burgers well done, I smoked these til done. the chicken is tender and juicy, you can turn the bones and they pull out, not fall out. Not a fancy looking meal, but really yummie..

OK!! Here is the whole recipe: 4-6 tilapia or other fish filets, salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp oregano, 4 tblsp butter melted, 4 cloves garlic (we use minced in the jar), 2 tblsp lemon juice, 1/4 tspn lemon zest(???), red pepper flakes to taste. Garnish with lemon rounds, red pepper flakes, parsley, lemon slices. Bake at 400*F for 10-12 minutes.

So far all we see a big waste of time and money and effort and I don’t trust that communist pig in China one bit don’t know if any of the fellas saw that interview with that Chinese resident living in poverty that guy was saying it pretty much the way it is so apparently some of his own people can’t stand him either

The administration is offering Iran a temporary waiver on oil sanctions until the final agreement. Shocking, and a waste of time. Regime change is needed. Period. Anything short of that means this was all a waste of time, money and effort.

Dave you sound like me when I left Massachusetts all I really liked there was Mack trucks and food lol … mainly lousy weather policies and officials with thier hands in your pockets but growing up there depending where you were ,,,, thier was very little crime… bob

Beautiful trucks thanks for the picture and yes, I don’t have any idea. It might be an Australian thing the thing I get, I know almost nothing about a B model

Yeah I’m sure it flys lol bob

Tennessee was same set up at the gas pumps; just another reason to live there . especially if compared to CT living.

besides theV-8 , basic 61's had 47,459 produced ('53=66). the B633 small number production of 486 ('56=58).
