Wow that’s getting up there ! Just about up to a 350 of the late 1980 vintage!

They have to cut the NOX another 80% in 2027 and the factory has to extend the emissions warranty to 650,000 miles. I know they are re-designing the pistons and adding the 48 volt electric heating element in the catalyst. I will have to say the Pioneer I drove the other day was averaging 9.25 MPG.

interesting to see your 90's still use our 86 and older dash.

Thank You Guys!!!!! Nothing has changed.. Still have to mow lawn tomorrow after last night's rain..

The U.S. attacked Qeshm Port and Bandar Abbas, but a senior U.S. official says this is NOT a restarting of the war [even though it obviously is]. We're wasting effort, time and money. After 47 years, it's time to get the job done. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15799875/Trump-unleashes-midnight-strikes-crucial-Iran-oil-port-officials-frantically-insist-ceasefire-holding.html https://www.twz.com/news-features/iranian-island-port-in-strait-of-hormuz-attacked-state-media-claims

This just in: Three U.S. Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz came under attack on Thursday, enduring what American officials described as a fiercer and more sustained Iranian assault than the barrage that two of the warships faced only days earlier. The Arleigh Burke-class destroyers USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Mason (DDG 87) and USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115) were attacked by missiles, drones and small boats. The U.S. military responded by targeting Iranian facilities, including drone and missile launch sites in what Central Command described as "self-defense strikes." [Should be "obliterate the enemy" strikes] The destroyers came under an intense Iranian assault as swarms of Iranian fast-attack boats maneuvered close enough that American warships opened fire to keep them at bay. Over several hours, the American destroyers and supporting aircraft mounted a layered defense, firing their 5-inch guns and their close-in weapon systems. Small-caliber gun teams on deck also engaged the attacking boats. U.S. Army Apache helicopters fired Hellfire missiles, and .50-caliber machine guns were fired from the decks of the ships. Iranian forces also launched drones and missiles during the confrontation. On Monday, the USS Truxtun and USS Mason transited the Strait of Hormuz and entered the Persian Gulf after navigating an Iranian barrage. During that engagement, Iran also launched small boats, missiles and drones against them in a sustained barrage.

Key here being it should be about drive axle height! Any diff Mack or otherwise!

Navypoppop,,, My guess is they KNOW what will come down on them after the U.S. and allies leave... It reminds me of crime in Black neighborhoods in my area.. When sh!t goes down, know one will talk to the cops.. they fear retaliation... I liken it to that...

So.... even though this truck is decades older than what I worked on.... All service books from my era says , you put your pointer finger in the hole and bend the first knuckle. If you touch oil, its right... Approx.. 5 MM down from the hole 1/5" American.... 🍻

hell .....almost missed it,,,,have a swingin time bubba,,,,,and lets hope for many more,,, happy birthday,,,bob

i dont know anything about them,,,,but i would have thought it was the other way around,,,bob

hey welcome aboard and good luck,,,,i dont know either ,,,im sure someone will,,bob

How do you explain all the Arab nations that surround Iran have not responded to the missle and drone attacks on their own countries. After the first drone or missile landed in my country all he'll would have happened. These Arabs countries do not have the balls to defend themselves against the evil terrorists called Iran.

Hi and welcome to the group! Answering your question. I honestly don't have the particular point. The most vehicles I have ever dealt with (probably same to you) the oil gets up to the filling hole. But service manual for my 1945 Mack truck (tandem bogie though) prescribes to fill up to a level of one inch lower than the filling hole. There's a nuance that truck has wheel bearings separated from the banjo and they're greased don't get any oil from the differential. Your bearings get oil from the banjo I guess so I'd keep the level up to the edge of the hole. There could be an option to check if you remove one wheel hub and see the level in the banjo the oil starts leaking from the jack shaft tube to where the bearings are expected to be. That would be a required minimum to my understanding but seems easier to just fill up to the plug. Hope this may help. Vlad

Today, the WSJ reported that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have lifted restrictions on the US military's use of its airspace and military bases, citing U.S. and Saudi officials, and ‌that the Trump administration was looking to restart Project ⁠Freedom, its operation to guide/escort vessels through the strait. Iran on Tuesday created the Persian Gulf Strait Authority to exert total control of the strait (all the way to the UAE's and Oman's beaches per Iran's new map) and charge tolls for transits. And yet we're negotiating with these people? Seriously?

Wanted to buy: Part number 20706362 engine harness, this number supersedes part number 41MR5397BM. I've looked all over and cannot find one. It's for a '98 Mack RD690S with an E7. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
