  1. Past hour
  2. Happy B-lated B-day Brocky!
  3. Interesting... I got delayed in my registration process in December, decided to wait until the snow melted. I have an appointment tomorrow to get my temp (again) so I can do my VIN verification, then another appointment next weekend to get the real thing. I'll look into the DOT exemption. I'm trying Waterbury DMV this time, maybe my luck will be better
  4. Today
  5. Actually a oven heating element grill might be an upgrade. Kind of M shaped. Add some horizontal chrome bars and we are all set. Come on Volvo at least let the Mack engineers design a decent Mack grill, bumper and fenders to offset that new 1/2 ugly volvo cab!
  6. Spent many hours in eighth generation Fords. Terrible milage but built like tanks. Like tjc said, that older dash is interesting, as well as the non composite sealed beam headlights Were these trucks imported in or assembled in Australia?
  7. Thats part of the $25,000 price increase.
  8. That extended warranty is huge, wow.
  9. Great deal.Truck looks great.It'll make a great show stopper.... Paul
  10. Congratulations to you too.How many more years??? Paul
  11. Tell me more, didn't know that! Somewhere I have a copy of the 4th. quarter 1977 'Bulldog' covering the Superliner intro.. Seems to me that Brockways had the same problem the RS/RL 700's had with regards to the low hood, so Brockway having a hand in the Superliner is not a surprise. Over in Pontiac GMC was having the same issue with their 9500's, their solution was the Bison/General.
  12. Wow that’s getting up there ! Just about up to a 350 of the late 1980 vintage!
  13. 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.
  14. Yesterday
  15. The “Maverick Act” https://www.twz.com/air/my-god-the-f-14-tomcat-may-actually-fly-again-over-the-united-states
  16. interesting to see your 90's still use our 86 and older dash.
  17. Thank You Guys!!!!! Nothing has changed.. Still have to mow lawn tomorrow after last night's rain..
  18. 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
  19. thanks for that,,,,,i dont see any peace talks here now,,,,
  20. 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.
  21. Key here being it should be about drive axle height! Any diff Mack or otherwise!
  22. 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...
  23. 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.... 🍻
