  1. Why do you think the cylinder needs to be replaced?
  2. Since you say power steering cylinder I suspect that you have an ad on system and not an integrated power steering box if it is a garrison system. Garrison is still in business and will rebuild there system Please post some pictures of the system so we can help you
  3. Do you have any more pictures of the truck and trailer? how much rust is there?
  4. The seagulls are bold. If you leave your spot they come in and see if there is any treats for them FYI these pictures are from the Jersey shore
  5. A few pictures from the carnival summer
  6. What are your plans for it?
  7. Just going to be a Volvo with different badges on it, but no dog on the hood because that reduces the milage by .00000001
  8. The coolant fan should be running when the ac is on and the compressor clutch is engaged, especially standing still. the ECM may turn it off when the truck is moving the ac will not work well unless air is moving through the condenser
  9. The tender I posted the pictures of lives in Southern California was that show at California speedway in Fontana? If it was it was the ATHS convention and it will be in Reno in June of 2022
  10. I just ran across a 1972 RS700L that appears to be a glider and I sent a request to the Mack museum, it will be interesting to see what they come up with
  11. From what I have been able to figure out the mechanical engines work well with a mechanical transmission it was not unheard of for highway departments to spec the maxadine with a Allison such as MT654 the newer transmission need to talk to the computer on the engine the auto shift eatons also need throttle control
  12. The truth is that by putting the engine under the floor, the crowns are mid engine, you can carry more students in a bus with the same length. So in order to increase capacity some school districts opted for longer busses the typical two axle school bus has a GVW that is maxed out fir its size. The capacity is based on a bus loaded with adults when you add more rows of seats the bus will exceed the weight for two axles crown could have used a tag axle but the ones I have seen appear to have both axles powered also the three axle buses typically have storage compartments under the floor that are often not on the two axle busses
  13. I have a T226 auxiliary transmission, transfer case. The cab data plate lists it as a MR-226 I think for Meritor Rockwell. Currently the front axle in and out is air shift. The high, neutral, low range is shifted by a shift lever in the cab and a lot of noise is transferred into the cab. The joints on the rod are very sloppy and I have two rubber bungee cords to deal with the slip. There is still a rattle that is transmitted into the cab during deceleration. is there a way to convert the hi lo shift to air and eliminate the rattle?
  14. Here are a few pictures from yesterday’s fun a car without lug nuts the strangest manhole I have seen in a while
  15. The only rear overhang limit that I am aware of is for the location of the DOT bumper in relation to the back of the bed which I believe is 4 feet. Since this vehicle is not registered commercially only the regulations at the date of manufacturing apply and it does not have to meet current requirements,
  16. I am building a removable flatbed for my F800. there is 10 feet of frame behind the cab i am debating on a 10 foot, 11 foot or 12 foot flatbed I have two 12 foot flatbeds but they look a little long extending past the frame and look like they will interfere with the trailer hitch should I shorten one of the 12 foot beds to 10 or 11 feet?
  17. I have worn brown Reebok walk ultra dmx max shoes for decades and now I can only find them in white, white with blue stripes, and black but no brown. the brown color was great because the shoes would start out as nice shoes, then office shoes, then field shoes, then shop shoes and finally shoes for yard work. I would literally wear them until the seams split. The store managers tell me that it is not a sales issue since the brown ones sold better than the black or white but they have not gotten any shipments in a year
  18. The door dogs seem to be hit and miss my observation is the the steel dash and early larger cab had them and they seemed to disappear when the front cab mounts were changed
  19. Personally I hated Archie bunker so I just changed the channel. I did listen to Howard stern a lot. The world has changed a lot and I do not think this PC stuff is good for anything. the problem with these children is that there are no consequences for there actions anymore. If they fail in school they still move forward. remember the bullies? In my day a few punches would settle it. Both of my kids went to the same high school one was marching band and swim team and the jocks avoided the band because there was strength in numbers. My daughter did not have that and she hated it, and transferred after her brother graduated. when I was in high school I had a reputation that if I got picked on I would drop the leader on the ground and get out of there. Now the frustration of these loners is bottled up and a very few act out in a bad way and we all have to suffer.
  20. When did Mack start using the factory order form FS2?
