My superliner sits for long periods of time between times I get the rare chance to work on it. When I start it up there is little or no power steering and the reservoir is close to empty the pump is driven off the back of the compressor. Is there a seal that goes bad between the pump and compressor letting the oil go down into the crankcase because I have not seen any visable external leaks.

Never took the thing apart the rubber looked good no gaps or pieces of rubber coming out of the ends of the saddles this is going to be a truck that never hauls a load as long as I own it. I have gone a new direction with this truck as it will become a parade truck too I'm looking for a bed from a 923 military truck for it now.

I bought a camelback suspension system from southern Indiana a few months ago to put under the superliner and its close to done now. I had to weld up both axle tubes same place on both axles cracked across the top and halfway down both sides cant figure how they cracked there most crack across the bottom when stressed from the truck being overloaded. I put all new wheel seals and bearings in the hubs all new nylon bushings and seals for the S cams will clean up the carriers and reseal them when setting them in the banjos. All the rubber looked good under the springs and on the trunnion tube now to get some 3/4 inch thick plate to shim the trunnion stand where it bolts up to the frame rails.

The cab looks like its avoided the dreaded tin worm.

Aluminum frame rails were straight both my Hayward trucks have straight frames the superliner has an aluminum frame with a steel frame section slid into the front from the battery boxes forward.

Is that corn coming out of that big yellow building on 34 just east of the river? Used to see them hauling out of there all the time stored a mountain of corn behind it too.

The frame widens in front of the tank.

The difference is mack western used a tank bracket that held the tank closer to the frame that's how they were able to use external steps. The truck I want to put a tank on has a long air tank on the drivers side and need to use the eastern style tank brackets that hold the tank further from the frame to hold the fuel tank away from the air tank so I need a 100 gallon tank with the step inset into the tank. You can use the western style tank on any R model as long as there isn't that long air tank on the drivers side because it hangs past the frame not allowing the western style fuel tank enough clearance to miss the air tank.

That truck has western tanks the steps are not inset in the tank.

Funny thing is if you booby trap your posessions to safeguard them even on your own property and hurt or kill one of those inbred idiots you face criminal charges so as Paul Harvey used to say "its not one world".

I may be a bit prejudice but my old chevy is 42 years old and still wearing its original paint but then again it was built when they still built a real truck. Parked it in the front yard to wash it after work today they never made many Cheyenne super 10s like this one.

I'm going to convert my superliner to air ride cab I will have a solid mount available its the taller one from a Hayward truck.

I sure could use a fuel tank like that one for the RD all I have is western style tanks and they wont work on the allentown trucks.

There was a KT450 powered superliner on ebay a few months ago.

Schneider certainly doesn't seem to have any problem finding enough "Road Trolls" to fill the trucks they have. I have never seen such a bunch of idiots 40 mile an hour down the 55 MPH two lanes around here and more of them every day. Swift is almost as bad none of these drivers can reach the speed limit always 10 under real irritating for those of us who roll the speed limit to get done at a decent hour.

We are taking the RS down town Chicago tomorrow to do the Chicago memorial day parade for the USO great time for all here is a couple of pics from last year.

Where did he hit the Mexicans in Ottumwa? The packing plant advertises on the local country station in Spanish to hire them we used to hear them while staying in the cabin in drakesville.

Busting my a$$ 8 loads a day from west of Hampshire to elgin and whatever crushed concrete we get orders for coming out of the yard.

When did carl get the red b model?

According the the democrats they wont be needing them long anyways when they bankrupt the coal industry.

OK that will be a starting point.

My RS has always started and ran like a top but the idle speed varys !st gear idling through a parade it runs 700 RPM a bit high but driving down the road hit the brakes and slow to a stop it goes down to where it should be but will pick back up after a bit. I put a stiffer return spring on the linkage it doesn't help it does surge sometimes idling but most 237s I have ever dealt with did that too. I don't want to turn the idle down for fear it will be to low on the occasion it drops down to where it should be.

The fully dressed superliner cab I had shipped was 1500 pounds.

I tried an experiment I would find a light where there was no cross traffic and hit the clutch like I was going to take off and the texter next to me ran right through the light to beat me out thinking the light had changed. I have done this a couple times only once did I get one to completely go through the light most hit the brakes and stopped in the middle of the intersection giving me the number one sign when it was their own stupidity that caused them to run the light to begin with. I would never try this at a busy intersection where they could cause a wreck and hurt some innocent driver who had the right away. We live in the Chicago suburbs which I call the land of me first I always tell friends if they want to see true human nature at work ride through a rush hour with me in the truck to see the really stupid things people are willing to do just to get one car length ahead or to meet them at the next stoplight.
