  1. I would also look at the S cam to make sure it is not binding on the bushings. Also make sure the slack adjuster is not moving on the S cam
  2. It is set up as a camper. I need to lower it a couple of inches so it fits inside the shop Here is a picture of it when it was in service.
  3. Not red but it is a big ford
  4. Looks like it could be a Bucyruss Erie 22b
  5. Brings new meaning to the term MEAT MARKET There is nothing like that around here, actually I am happy when the people shopping actually put on clothes and are not wearing there pajamas We have a drought out here and people are desperate to take a shower
  6. What is the difference if it is trying to come through the back of the cab or the roof?

  8. This explains where all the Mack's in California are hiding
  9. It does take a lot of work to do it right. My system, not on a mack, is a mixture of parts to minimize the known problems. My advice is to use a new condenser and evaporator and keep them clean. Use a new compressor. The air dryer should me replaced any time the system is open to the atmosphere. One often overlooked part is the expansion valve, or office tube, make sure it is new and or clean. The hoses are also very important. Over the years I have had a lot of problems with crimps leaking. I also hate those snap lock connections, I think that is the correct name. It is so much less fatiguing to drive around in a cool can than sweat in a hot one.
  10. That truck makes me home sick. Grew up on the jersey shore
  11. What type of Hendrickson suspension do you have on the truck now.
  12. I want more details. Do you use the stock factory springs or do you remove a couple of leaves? Are all the air bags tied to a single leveling valve or do you use a valve on each side? I want to do this to my two axle tractor that has real stiff front springs.
  13. In my truck Max requires gloves
  14. The poor equipment
  15. What did you do to the pumps? My get a little slow climbing the hills and mountain passes on the freeways here in Southern California. Both of mine have Allison's in them which is probably part of the issue and they are better when I manually shift the allison.
  16. They are a good engine, I have two of them. They are a little heavy for the HP they produce. They will get you there but if it is a race you may not win. Both of my engines are the 210 HP spec. You really need to read the tags on the engine. They were available up to 285 HP in the LN series.
  17. A company called radios for less here in Southern California can add the auxiliary input to any radio. It is not the antenna wire tap and works great. The classic car guys door all the time.
  18. I do like a real allison, I did drive the eaton auto shift for a few days and hated the stupid thing.
  19. It looks a lot like the green they used inside armored vehicles. The color is called sea foam green and there is a federal standard for it 24552.
  20. The center of the headlights have to be 54" or less so that is not the reason.Nice custom frame jog. This does not look like the typical plates. You could have Tulsa equipment build one for you
  21. I remember in the late 80's running into a pair of twins driving matching mack dump trucks with twin sticks in them just like the rest of us.
  22. This is a long standing debate. Grease is only better if you are going to submerge the bearings . Oil actually provides better lubrication.
  23. That trailer is a turntable trailer. The "dolly" is bolted to the trailer. If you consider doing a conversion you need to measure the frame height above the turntable to see if it would work.
  24. Love it It should have this caption "I bought a Mack and it came with its own garage"
  25. This is going to interesting with all the new carb regulations that were put into force or are these truck exempt
