  1. agreed. a lot of these trucks came with daytime running lights. if the parking brake is off, the headlights are on. only thing that will turn them off is pulling the DRL relay.
  2. the only thing we can hope for is proof that the election was rigged. but unfortunately, i really think all that evidence is already destroyed.
  3. i heard they could not find any of the 81 million biden supporters to attend the inauguration. so instead, they put 200,000 flags in the great mall.
  4. I don't believe for one second biden pulled it off, or probably had anything to do with it other than he being the puppet picked to look like he led the mess. This was all planned by the democratic party, and the likes of gates,soros, Bloomberg, and some foreign countries that would do anything to get rid of trump. Do you REALLY believe someone that could not get 100 people show up at a rally could get 81 million votes without cheating?
  5. swishy it ain't the fact the team lost. it is the fact the team lost due to election rigging . there is no way possible biden could possibly get 81 million votes without cheating..
  6. if the tags are still on the door and B pillar, the axle ratio will be on one of them too.
  7. as Jojo said, take your time shifting. this is not going to be like most multirange transmissions where you snap gears. these mack 5 speeds are slow shifters. as i used to tell my guys, pull it out of gear, take a nap, and when you wake up slip it into the next gear. with that 237 5 speed, run it up to 2100 rpm, slip it out of gear, and it should fall into the next gear around 13-1400 rpm if i remember correctly. also if it has been sitting a long time, loosen the air intake and have something handy to plug up the air intake in case the fuel pump sticks open. i have seen a few run away when firing up after sitting a long time.
  8. yup, hand throttle. or as us old farts used to call it, manual cruise control.
  9. i am also a child of the no locks on doors and keys always left in cars era. miss the school bus, or had to stay late, and start walking. within 1/4 mile someone would always stop and offer you a ride home. sometimes it was even the teacher that made you late for the bus.
  10. that is Why most of those people are no longer here.
  11. I have had 2 macks "run away". First wa a 74-75 RD600 with 237 engine. The injector pump keyed sheared as it was reved up and would not come off the 2300 rpm the governor was set at. I got the load of asphalt off, then stalled it by putting in 5th and letting out the clutch. Second was a 2 valve 350 that came out of a salvage yard and was swapped into a first generation superliner after the V8 gave up the ghost. Something in the injector pump let go, and it took off as I was crossing a highway. I got about 1/4 mile away from the highway next to an open field and started braking. Got it down from pegged 3200rpm tach to around 200 rpm when the clutch let go. I could not open the hood to cover the air filter, so I stood behind the trailer to not get hit with parts when it blew. The belts flew off a few minutes later and it started getting hot. It ran pegged 3200 rpm tach for over 5 minutes before it heat seized. While it was screaming there were flames 3 foot out of the stacks. No one wanted to get near it, so the cops just blocked the road, and the fire dept stood by with a pumper and 6000 gallon tanker incase it caused a fire. When we finally got it home, it was trash. The crank was blue from the heat.
  12. exactly. this was planned from the get go by every single politician there in the capitol building. like everything else they have done over the past 4 years to try and make trump look bad. eventually this will also backfire on them. i just hope it happens while we still have a country to rebuild.
  13. i saw a post on the smith&wesson forums where an italian national has come forward with all the info needed to prove the election was rigged. he claims he came forward with the info after realizing what he had done. says he worked under his employers(an italian defense contractor) orders to assist a three letter US gov branch to rig an election. but he was not aware it was a us election, he thought it was in a third world country.
  14. ya know, one thing that really bothers me. everyone is "poor poor Ashli" what the hell was a military veteran doing trying to climb through a freshly broken window, in a secure wall that had a barricaded door ? did she expect she would be welcomed once through the window? DO STUPID THINGS, SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!!
  15. the only thing to say is "sooner or later, they will get theirs" lets just hope there is still a country left to pick up the pieces and repair things when it happens.
  16. exactly. but according to the democratic run media, every single person there was a republican rioter hell bent on doing as much damage as possible to keep trump in office. unlike all those peaceful democratic protesters, who do not burn, loot, and destroy, rather they stand in big circles and sing kumbaya
  17. there are reports running around that they were in fact antifa and blm trouble makers bussed in, and dressed as trump supporters with the sole purpose to cause as much trouble as they could. it is also being reported on taken down facebook posts that the woman killed was one of the antifa folks.
  18. i was thinking the same thing!!!
  19. those bat rastards already sold us out to china and russia. they are just waiting for the camal to be inaugurated to collect their pork.
  20. for now. but mccarthey is up against her for the spot.
  21. oh well. then i guess we have to hope mccarthy gets the spot, and picks trump as vp. then resigns and trump can be president again.
  22. if creepy joe and the hoe both get the corona and croak before inauguration, will we get Trump back?
  23. i ran a 49 L-190 for years. six cylinder gas with 5 speed and two speed rear. in low it was slow, around 45-50 mph. but high rear would run 75mph.
  24. i agree. small gas engine and the lower speed driven back then, gear ration in the mid 8's is most likely. i would look for a 190-210 hp cummins with a blower, and a ten speed trans, then put in gears in the high 5's or low 6's. this would make for a good running driver.
  25. Ya mean they is thinking about getting their Peter's rebuilt? 😁
