I once watched some show on TV . They had a CH of some form with an MP (think it was a 7) race'n a Superliner with a E9. So of course the CH got to the finish line first. I thought it woulda been much more interesting to try the same thing on a 6% grade grossed out to around 100K There's somehting to be said about some of the older stuff

I can remember when I was a kid (I had no clue then what guys meant) guys say'n those transmissions with the bronze in them wouldn't ever be around long (lol) Then it was the computer controlled engine (guys wanted their foot going to an injection pump) Stuff is so complicated now and proprietary as well. and yes....when there's an electric motor on each wheel end.... we'll miss what we have now.

F, you're correct in my opinion. All these newer engines that are supposed to last so long seem like when anything goes wrong it's catastrophic. No matter the make. Upwards of 30K for a in frame ? find someone to actually do it ? truck sits for minimum of weeks before they get to it and get parts... Not like it used to be.

"04 MP7 ? Personally I believe is one of the best engines ever made and cubic inch for cubic inch ??? not much runs like one. Drivability is way better than an AMI with nothing done to it. "04 emission is an oddball. All by itself (which is likely what's in a '07 easy to spot as they are EGR only and no after treatment) They tend to puke injector cups on occasion (and there's no update) and have an appetite for EGR coolers (which ruins the mass air sensor....and module) and any one that's around now ? who knows what it may or may not need. They have potential to last a long time , but if the hours are up over 20000, odds are it's just another old worn out engine . A 395 that's in good shape ??? Probably you'd be happy with one in a ten wheeler .

Joke around about this stuff...... next you'll see Ford do'n it (or one of them) and brandon'll be brag'n how it's from the minds of union auto workers

Or maybe they could have some collectors like pine needles to gather the sun's weaker rays in the winter ??

JoJo ????? seriously ? you know the Adderall IV won't fit in the Tesla. c'mon man

I don't know what her problem is, I think it looks nice decorated like that in the yard.

That's that blue one from an earlier post I think.... this dude's collecting older R700s (lol)

That old scream'n demon woulda got a 13 of the RTO or RT variety. It is a cool old truck. Probably doesn't weigh much either.

Looking at this truck on a laptop. Looks like it has some kind of shifter relocating shift tower ? I'm assuming it's a thirteen speed ???? Looks to be in really nice shape too.

Yep. Maybe even would have been called " Timkens "

I agree with Glenn. That's old Freightliner. Gliders we're popular back then. It wasn't always an avoid after treatment thing.

You would be interested in them. I know I've seen them all cover to cover at least twice. Nice magazine if you're into trucks.

I'm not sure what suspension that is, but that's a nice old truck. Looks like it has a Detroit ?

No

I doubt a BigHorn was a gas job. Lots of guys used to like Dodge's class 8 trucks. They were fairly popular where I live back in the '70s. They were mostly some form of 900 series . The BigHorn was Dodge's attempt at a truck on par with big Peterbilts and Kenworths. I think the base engine was a 350 Cummins.

I posted a picture of a tranny. Be a long time figuring out what's wrong with that one 🤔

That's a BigHorn '74 or '75 only like 271 (or close to that) ever made.

I've looked at this truck over and over. IDK if it came with a brown interior, but some Mack guy had something to do with it and somebody liked to paint. Looks like the doors are faded at a different rate than other parts of the truck (like painted at a different time ??) The duct on the intake looks like maybe donated from a Cool Power and is painted red . Then there's the red fuel tanks....someone was better than just OK with painting, so brown interior isn't much of a stretch ......but then there's that brown wheel.....hmmm. Interesting good looking B no matter .

Jo Jo happy wife happy life. don't take the bait from tjc..... he's safe in NJ

I think they're part number 44 DDD, but as always.....check the VIN to be sure

Joey....those bags cost a fortune, and after a while I'd expect some severe sagging.

Be nice if he went to visit her
