Im old and that being said I drive a truck like its my own (in this case it is mine) always figured if you take care of it you wont lose a day or two of work while its being fixed. I shake my head at the jack asses calling themselves truck drivers the way they beat a truck we have quite a few of them where I work.

Speaking of impressive rides I like that Kansas city southern SD70ACE locomotive I had a days ride in one not long ago now that's an impressive piece of machinery.

Can anyone tell me what years these were produced and the HP I am mistaken on the topic its an ETZ 673E engine.

Yes I have used a quad, duplexes, triplexes, I like the old school tech of the day.

That's what I was thinking the trans couldn't take the torque of the modern engines I appreciate the opinions it has a 10 speed roadranger now just looking over all the options now the cab will be off the truck in the spring no better time to swap the trans if I so desired.

Question is can this be stuffed into my superliner without massive modifications spoke to the owner he says its new old stock I have spoke to him on the phone seems honest enough.I like these old transmissions are they strong enough for a 300 plus engine to be used with will they even bolt up to the existing bell housing on my 300 I will have to find a yoke to fit on the output shaft what do you guys think.

As much as you work you should have plenty of cash to build a nice building for that truck to rest in.

The cut off sold for 650 dollars would have been a great deal for me if the axles would have been what I needed.

Like the title states I need three Robert bosch injectors seems when the engine in my superliner needed a replacement head they left the injectors in the used replacement head and just swapped it out. The problem is the three injectors in the replaced head are American bosch injectors I gave my friend at the diesel shop the nozzle numbers from the build sheet from the truck and they are the right one for the original three Robert bosch injectors which were original to the engine. Seems that they redid the injectors at one time and put the incorrect nozzles on them to begin with so we are trying to get the correct injectors set back up to do the whole thing the right way besides I just did an inframe on the truck and want it to run as it should the right way not cobbled together as it was when I bought it. So if anyone has three Robert bosch injectors they are willing to trade or sell me I would really appreciate it the injectors are the last thing I need to get this engine buttoned up and be able to start it up and run it in before the really cold weather sets in.

The cut off was up for auction seems like a bunch of jacking around I will have to find something else down the road.

I have 2K into it right now the injectors will add a bit to that but that's reasonable for a near new engine when its done.

Its going to be a long road Al but Im in no rush to get it done just want to do it right.

New pistons, rings, liners,bearings,oil pump, injectors remanned just had my friend from work adjust the valves checked the turbo and turbine virtually no wear regasketed the whole thing pretty much a new engine. When I have it running and roadworthy Im going to take it to my friends diesel shop and have the timing redone Im pretty sure that's what did the pistons in to begin with.

That's what I figured its a shame the cut off is in great shape I do have a set of carriers from my parts truck but that was a 38000 pound axle set up I don't think they will swap into a 44000 pound set up splines on the axles probably different.

I have been thinking of buying a cut off from a 2005 truck frame cut from just before the front axle it a complete camelback suspension axles,valves etc. unit only has 124K on the axles but it has a 5:02 axle ratio that seems pretty low to me the thing would put you down the road a 45 MPH I believe its a 44000 pound axle set up greasable trunnion 8 bolt axle flanges. I wanted the whole low mileage camel back set up for the superliner I need some input from the pros whether this could be made to work in my truck as it is now with the 300+ with a 10 speed trans.

Getting engine buttoned up on the 79 superliner I bought just finishing up on the in frame rebuild waiting for the injectors to come back from the shop so I really cant put anything together on the top of the engine. I have some things on like the turbo intake from the intercooler temporarily put on to keep the mice out of everything stuffed up other openings with rags but the injectors should be back this week so I can finally start it up not much else going on with it until I can get the engine done.

Any of those yazel heil dumps left or did they take the slow boat to to china already.

No we have our own pit for supplying our precast plants.

Saw the blue storkmack truck the other day think it was on 20 I have been having a busy week not much driving I loaded petermacks uncle with four loads of black dirt the other day while working in the pit. I sat on the backhoe all day today making small pieces of concrete from big ones ran the loader again yesterday for a bit then hauled 12 loads of sand from clearlake to the belvidere yard and saw another storkmack truck turn in front of me off Irene road then saw petermacks uncle running down 20 in belvidere. Heres a couple pics from yesterday some from clearlake some from the pit and one of a red mack being loaded from a combine I believe its one of Brian Piskes trucks the old dog with the water tank sits in our belvidere yard.

My friend told me they are data mining that's also the delay that's why things you were looking at on ebay show up on your facebook and other favorite sites you visit.

I believe most of us here search ebay for parts once in a while anybody else notice how long things take to load now all the ads and they show up in most other places you go they even load their ads on my face book account.

That looks a lot like a truck they auctioned off on govdeals.

Boy Ill bet there was some major league pouting going on at the white house after that.

Is there any way to fix these the wire is broke off flush with the outside can they be taken apart and fixed I cant solder it as is or it will burn off the rubber or plastic surrounding the wire.

I would be interested in the fronts hopefully they wont be to corroded where they bolt to the steel I need budds wheels didn't notice if they were hub piloted or not.
