    Maybe she worked something out to keep diddy quiet a little longer in exchange for an award. Isn't her husband or whatever in on the diddy thing ?

    That's a 7000. The 5000 was a whole different animal.

    They looked more European than American at that time.

    I was talking about a White 5000. Google one, they were odd to say the least. Only made a short time and rarely seen in this day and age. I'd send a picture , but I'm not sure how that posting pictures that aren't your own goes.

    Mack and Scania used to compare notes over the years in the past. Trade off info here and there. Like the direct injection Diesel. Then there was this other little engine that was 998 cubic inches.......

    I think someone in New Jersey just got one for pulling a lowboy.

    Depending where they were coming from ???? I'm guess'n around four hours at least. There wasn't many of those guys spoke English A new Knee for Xmas ? Hope everything goes ok with that.

    At one point those trucks didn't stop. IDK if it was all one driver or what. That place in the picture was quite the place too ( one of my trucks was on the 6 o'clock news there in the begining ) (lol) Then when they started bringing in the dirt, it was pretty much what's in the pictures more than a couple times. If I remember right, one ran into a school bus in NJ. It was a T800 and the engine was out of it and it still weighed 94000 pounds. It was quite the three ring circus.

    That's close to 800 reasons to like them. Time was there was a connection between Scania and Mack. and some of Mack's best stuff was developed from that relationship.

    Hard tell'n what went on with that stretch job
  19. Mark T
    He might be a little off on the rate. If you saw some of that operation in action though ? Lots of those guys were going in there grossing close to 100K on a triaxle.

    It looks like the aluminum frame is bolted to the outside of the frame inside out (?)

    I took my lockout apart and disabled it. Mine are all air controled. No air, low range, air shifts them to high. The speedometer is all off the antilock brakes, so there's not much other than that needed to tell the truck anything.

    Most Macks that were made for vocational applications tended to have fairly slow axles and then a huge overgear. That's one of the reasons they were so good at crawling through jobsites and such. Old double over 13s and the TO9ALLs had a .63 or some crazy high overgear. Engines didn't have the torque back then. So they multiplied it in the axle. Those kooky high overgeared transmissions didn't spend a whole lotta time in those high gears. Even if they were ? still mid sixties for road speed around 2000 RPMs How times have changed.
  24. Mark T
    Some have a lockout on the range selector so as you can't shift the range when you use the power divider lock out. Which doesn't make much sense as Geoff had mentioned, 3 speeds are one in "high" and one in "low"

    They're just a planetary in the diff. There's a clutching gear to engage and disengage the planetary action resulting in two ratios from the same ring and pinion count.
