tjc transport

says rite in the listing price when new was $190,000

agreed. but it is really up to what the seller wants for it, and what the buyer is willing to pay.

64 Grand Prix.

probably about 95,000 lbs worth of batteries

on my 05, it was the ground wire in the plug going into the cluster. i redid the ground wire in the plug, plus added my own extra ground wire to the cluster to solve the problem.

bus was owned and operated by the town board of education, not a private contractor.

you mean a swift driver?? 😀

yup. if you can get in the cab,figure out how to start the engine and push the button on the auto trans shifter to get it in gear, you got a job. exactly. most of these companies pay $200 per day, usually cash, and the drivers average 14 hours per day. we have a big problem with these guys here in Jersey. Mendez was the company involved this round. D.I.R.T. is the "Swift" of the dump truck industry, then have wrecked over 174 brand new trucks in the past 3 years, and the owner was arrested twice last year for toll evasion as he was trying to leave the country for vacation first time was christmas eve, grabbed at the airport for owing over 2 million in unpaid EZ Pass tolls. claimed it was an oversight. second time 6 months later same thing. over 2 million in unpaid EZ Pass tolls again. only this time one of his ex drivers told the cops he told them to go through the EZ Pass lanes and don't worry about not having EZ Pass. our other headaches are a bunch of south americans who run for the quarries. but they have gotten a lot better about safety and upkeep of the trucks over the past few years. the drivers are still animals who will run over a car if it gets in their way though.

945 am today, i saw a red T-800 weaving in and out of traffic at a very high rate of speed. over 70 in a 50 mph zone type of high speed. got along side of me and i saw Mendez. you would think after a company truck was in a multiple fatal accident the day before those aswholes would get an idea and drive safer. nope!!!

solid rock under him. looks to me like clearing the pad to drill for a blast.

helicopter.

well if the truck is registered as historic, or non commercial personal use, it does not fall under the commercial truck ruling and is allowed.

about 15 years ago i had a new neighbor move in next door. within a year she turned in to the neighbor from hell. nothing was good enough. and she complained about everything. the straw that broke the camels back was the day she complained to the town council about "the junk yard of non running abandoned vehicles next door" lucky for me i was home the next day when the police, zoning board officials, code enforcement officials, and two council members showed up, along with 2 wreckers to tow away all the "abandoned" vehicles. when i asked what was going on they started to explain. i said oh, that truck? handed one of the cops the registration and insurance card, got in the truck , started it up, and pulled it out onto the road. and proceeded to do the same thing with 7 other trucks and cars. when the asked about the one truck i did not go near, i told the zoning officer " i am allowed one non registered or insured vehicle, and that is it. it runs, but i can not pull it out on the road because it is not registered or insured. i started it up, and moved it forward and back into it's spot. then parked all the others. with nothing they could do, they had to pay the two wreckers for nothing, and left. never had any issues with the town after that, and the witch moved out a year later.

i had on like that in a 79 superliner. original V8 truck converted to 300 when the V8 died. short stick was deep reduction in first and reverse only, air shift stick was 1-5, reverse, low, and direct.

and then after paying out the nose, i hope they loose all their customers. scumbags like that deserve to loose everything they have.

there may not be anything wrong with it. the few triple nickel engines i have run over the years were all hard starting. you had to crank them over damn near forever, or use ether to get started, pretty much like the old ford IDI V8 without working glow plugs.

no, the residents don't. but the visitors are slobs.

today at the Englishtown Nj swap meet, i saw a beautiful B85 "pickup" with NY plates on it on the car show line. does it belong to anyone here? wish i thought to bring my camera!!!

i'm surprised the camera didn't break on the last picture!!!

yea, really. even starting out in second is tough on the clutch

we used to saw kick it into neutral, and take a nap. when you wake up it should be ready to go into gear.

the mack is a non syncronized trans, so you have to match engine rpm's to gear rpm's. some people double clutch. that is where you step on the clutch,take it out of gear, let the clutch out, step on it again, then put it in gear. to down shift, step on clutch, take out of gear, let off clutch and rev engine, step on clutch and put it in lower gear. most of us that have been driving forever do not use the clutch except for taking off. we just match rpm's by ear and slip it into gear.

when i looked yesterday it said auction ended with the $12850 price. 1957 Mack B Thermodyne 1957 Mack B Model truck See original listing Condition: Used “used , good” Ended: Apr 02, 2018 , 8:57AM Price: US $12,850.00 Shipping: Free Local Pickup Item location: Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States Seller: buddy2031959 (543 ) | Seller's other items

looks like a concrete floor under it. and it solf for $12,800. as for the rust, it was on the road in Michigan for 23 years ans 245,000 miles. that is most likely where the bulk of the rust came from
