1958 F.W.D.

Man this sucks. Time to go visit Don Vito Corleone on the wedding day of his daughter.

Looks good!!! How well does the Dynamat work with heat reduction???

I did a set on an L-9000 Ford one time. Had to heat that one up with a rosebud and swing an 10-Lb Persuader Wrench on and off for the better part of 1/2 hour to 45 mins. That was an ex-A. Duie Pyle tractor I think that the boss bought.

Yes but remember that the gas engines run higher RPM's.....I think a Mack 707 does 3200rpms.

Yeah let us know.....I'm curious. And by the way what does the darling's mommy think of you demanding he be incarcerated in general population?

I bought a pair of DEKA batteries for the FWD back in 2001 and they are still going strong, although lately on really cold days she cranks slower- maybe they are seeing the end of their life??? I'm not complaining!! I am pretty sure that NAPA batteries are DEKA.

You may have to prime the entire fuel system including cracking injectors. At the least prime the filter(s). Also Carl mentioned having a fire extinguisher nearby to choke the intake in tbe event of a runaway, but he forgot to tell you to use a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher!!! Don't blast a an ABC or any other kind of powder extinguisher in the intake or you're screwed!!!

http://www.overdriveonline.com/help-wanted-reach-out-to-a-fellow-driver-sidelined-by-cancer/ Everyone take a few minutes and send him some words of encouragment. We all know that our own mackman69 appreciated encouragement. Lets help this guy, too.

My little guy with his new Caterpillar equipment. No Mack equipment to be found so the second best will have to do.

Show up in Court at the sentencing and ask to be heard, and voice your displeasure with the Judge. Demand the maximum allowable sentence for whatever they are being charged with. Tell the Judge what the ADA and DA told you about having no say in the matter, and that you are now requesting that HE toss the book at them as hard as he can!!!!

I went to a place in Carrol, Iowa once a few years back. They had a "Philly Cheese Steak" on the menu, so just for amusement I asked the waitress what it was. After I got done laughing my ass off I said "uhhhh, no thanks." Seems I offended someone because the Manager came out and asked what was wrong with the Philly Cheese Steak. So I said "well, let me start by saying that I am from Philly. And Green peppers and swiss cheese do NOT make a Philly cheese steak. The mention of either could and would get your ass kicked in South Philly!"

I brought in rolled coins to my Credit Union once a while back and they were annoyed- they HAVE to unroll them and count them through the machine. They told me "in the future just bring them in a container, we have to run them through the machine." No fees since I am a member. I have a 5-gallon jug too that I dump my pocket change and 1-dollar bills into every night. I use it for play money for me and me only. However this year since we are going to Disney in September, I'm going to use it for spending money for the kids. November of last year I started dumping a $20 bill into it every payday just for the Disney trip.

And another peanut gallery heard from.....Ken you just tell them I look like an axe murderer too or I'll go all Lizzy Borden on you!!!

Who the hell asked you??? Oh, wait....I did....Never mind.

Hey Murf I was born and raised in Lower Moreland. Lived in Castor Gardens for a few years. Now up in Hellertown next to Bethlehem.

I resemble that!

WTF difference does it make if he looks like a car thief? How do you guys know I dont look like an axe murderer???? Go ahead Ken, Leversole and 69mackman.....Tell them I look like an axe murderer!!!!

I have two things to say, and before anyone who wants to blast me.....Stop and think about what I am about to say before you do. 1. The guy is intelligent enough to WANT to do a google search to find information on Mack Trucks. He finds our little corner of the world. He signs up because he wants to better his equipment, keep it running and "eat steak" and keep bread on the table and a roof over his head just like the rest of us. He wants information from the horses mouth. So he came to the horses mouth. (although with some of the things that have been said I wonder if maybe it was the horses ass?) I dont know the guy from Adam. I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt; thats who I am. 2. Why is it ok to be nice to Vlad over in Russia, but not this guy? Just curious. Can someone explain that to me???

Let me know if I can bring anything. I live locally so going to the store isn't a problem. Would be my pleasure to contribute. A couple of cases of beer err ahh I mean water or sodas or whatever....Case of hot dogs or burgers or something?? Name it.

The man wants a reason why we are all bitter. Luigiestrada, millions of hard working americans WANT to eat steak but can't because of jobs lost to foreign manufacturers. Couple that with the condition of which our trucks end up when sent to foreign destinations makes us not want to sell. That good enough???

While that may be true, it would take me seven forevers to get there- I have a 3200rpm engine right now......Swap out to one of those 2-cycle mechanical assholes means going from 60MPH down to maybe 40-45???? Now, before you say "well swap out the axles" remember that I have TWO to swap out........ IF (and thats a big IF) I ever have to do major surgery, she will be converted to an oil burner, but it will be a 3208 Cat....They have a factory remanufactured road version that has an almost identical horsepower and torque curve that is a 2800rpm engine. And before anyone says anything about that engine being a boat anchor I remind you I am not delivering freight on a daily basis and 500 miles in one year would be a busy year!! As long as Detroits continue to be loud, obnoxious, oil-dripping, smoke-blowing 2-cycle lawn boy wanne be mechanical assholes I'll continue to rant!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! What do a green banana and a detroit have in common??? THEY AINT WORTH SHIT UNTIL THEY TURN YELLOW!!!!

A Philly cheese steak in Macungie?? I was born and raised and lived most of my life in Philly. I moved "up north" about 10 years ago, and let me tell you something, I have been searching for a cheese steak that even comes CLOSE to what you get in Philly- these Dutchies (derogatory term for Pa. Dutch folks) wouldnt know a proper cheese steak if it slapped them across the face. One time I ordered one and got pickles on it......You could get your ass kicked in Philly for that!!!!

Fire Sale!!!

Ummmm......aint so great any more.......the three sides of the fire triangle came together there a few weeks ago.

On Saturday evening I and my father usually have dinner with Robert Gabrick (a good friend, he has written about a dozen books on trucks of varying Mfr's) and his Sterling buddies over at the Fogelsville Inn which has fantastic food and good views.
