  1. This post reminds me, on our '88 r model last fall I noticed a weird sound when turning a sharp corner. After investigation it turned out both front mount bolts were gone! The fan was hitting the shroud when the engine would move around. I stuck a couple of grade 5 bolts in it to get by and haven't given it much thought until now.
  2. I absolutely love b models but they are hard to work in the engine compartment. Has anyone made a flip hood out of the sheet metal hood, this would require a subframe underneath and bracing of the radiator. Probably more trouble than it's worth. Or has anyone made the fenders swing like a C model?
  3. In the late 70's my dad bought a 237 Mack at mander' s diesel that came out of an international. Someone had transplanted it in.
  4. I wish my wife knew how to set valves.
  5. Has anyone ever dealt with capitol redman out of Colorado?
  6. Put a wire loop in the coolant sensor plug to see if the sensor is working properly. Also I have seen where the aeroquip hose between the tank and radiator plugs.
  7. I could see how this would cost me more money than I would ever hope to make. Tires cost the same for a new trailer as they do an old.
  8. How much should a belly dump gravel trailer rent for a month? I own an older triaxle and was asked by our local co-op to rent it to them.
  9. Unfotunatlly there is a lot of other idiots further inland.
  10. The thing about hauling grain in an end dump is they are heavy. We had a few dump trailers and we sold them all. A typical ch daycab with a 34ft triple weighs about 34,000 empty. The same truck without a wet kit on an aluminum hopper weighs 24,500.
  11. What did the magnum package include for specs, like transmission,suspension, colors?
  12. There can't be very many of these in existence.
  13. I would be glad to check this out for anyone, it's not too far from me, I think I know the guy.
  14. The steel tank and valve would make a good pumpkin chucker.
  15. I stepped inside one of these at Back to the fifties in St Paul MN, and it was truly amazing. I could not fathom a restoration of that magnitude.
  16. There was a farm up here in ND that has one of these orange loadstars it had a grain box painted to match. I never knew it was a special edition til now. They sold it about 5 years ago.
  17. That happened 2 miles from my house! It was on the edge of Casselton, ND about 1/4 mile from where my kids were at daycare, lucky nobody was hurt.
  18. If he is willing to sell it for 50k and he believes it will be worth 500k when he's done, wouldn't it be worth it to quit his job and finish it? This guy is not even buying his own b.s.

    Keep pestering him, then try making a cash offer.
  20. Actually you can have the cab/ sleeper supports if you pay the shipping. They are sitting around- anything to keep a mack running.
  21. Black and silver would look a lot better than frieghtliner's flagship color of white toilet paper.
  22. I would agree with your dealer. I have a pair of cab/sleeper supports I would sell you for 1350.00 a piece lol.
  23. Our local alignment guru's last step when he aligns a truck is to pop the steering wheel off and center it. He says it is a common procedure.
  24. This was for sale on Craigslist recently, I called on it, and the guy seemed really nice, told me a lot about it, but I couldn't get a chance to look at it for a few days. Knowing that this truck would sell quick I gave Dirtymilkman a heads up about it. I guess he made a deal with the guy, and then the a-hole sold it to someone else. Anyhow I've been thinking about that truck, and now I have a huge burn to own an E-9.
