  1. everything is wonky the past two or three days. no like button, no links shown, no buttons on the mark forums read page, and a bunch of other things.
  2. here is Jersey quite a few dealers were sued by the fed for not destroying CFC cars, and putting them out on the lot for resale. when brought into court to have their dealer license revoked and charged with all the crimes they allegedly committed, the Judge had to drop all charges against every one of them because they never did CFC paperwork on the cars. they simply offered the CFC price as trade in on a new car. and probably 45 to 50 percent of the new cars purchased under CFC were repossessed because the purchasers could not afford the new cars in the first place but CFC let them buy them anyway. so not only did they trade in their perfectly fine used car on a new one, they then lost the new one and became carless.
  3. also good for keeping a tornado from blowing it away.
  4. that is what i was thinking too. how much is he asking?
  5. i wonder if the price is $750 because the drum has 8 yards of hardened concrete in it?
  6. i remember that one. it sat there for a few years.
  7. the 05 granite did that. 13.5 volts, but big CLICK, then nothing when key turned. ended up being a bad battery. when a load was put on it, it would short out 2 cells dropping voltage across all 4 batteries. finally did a load test on the batteries and found the bad one. put a new one in and had no more problems with it for the 3 years we had it.
  8. as i put it he was in a big rush to get nowhere fast.
  9. they actually have two for auction. the other one is basically the same thing, only has a bad trans, no 4th or 5th gear in main trans: https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=201&acctid=5057
  10. and what exactly are they going to impeach him for? not being their golden child? the democratic snowflakes have to face the facts. they lost because of who they chose.
  11. is it possible you accidentally set your systems to clear all cookies on exit or shutdown? i have no problem on the pc, laptop, or tablet.
  12. the only thing 32 years of union membership did for me was a pension plan that is in bankruptcy, and an annuity fund that i lost over $3000,000 dollars on due to mismanagement.. i put $354,000 into the annuity fund over the years, and got $34,000 out of when i took my withdrawal card 7 years ago and invested it into my own plan which has almost doubled in 7 years. pension fund will run out of money at the end of the year leaving me with nothing. as far as i am concerned the teamsters union leadership can go have sexual relations with themselves.
  13. well, since i have no idea what the difference is between the 160 and 180, i will take you word for it. just figured out i would point out they said it was a 180.
  14. acording to the ebay ad it is a 180, not 160
  15. should be around 3 lbs refrigerant, 90 degrees will call for 45-55 psi low side and 250-270 psi high side
  16. this is supposed to be the last year for the T-800. the T-880 is now close to 4 years old. it is a pleasure to drive, and will boogie along with both the 500HP or 550 hp engines. even with all the pollution controls. without the pollution crap the 500HP is ridiculous with an 18 speed. just removing the pollution controls on a 2015 triaxle dump a friend netted a 3 mile per gallon increase from 4 MPG to 7MPG. the 2016 we have has the 550HP engine and an Allison automatic. it is averaging 5 MPG. it now has a little under 22,000 miles on it. empty it will pull away from most cars off a light if you feel like standing on it. loaded at 80,000 lbs it still walks away from my 05 T-800 with 500HP C-15
  17. you will not see any of the loud mouths mention this because there is nothing in it for jus-fo-me jakson, or all-fo-me shapton. if there is nothing in it for them, it never happened.
  18. 16 "feet"
  19. as an example of a truck that has NOT sat around idling all day, my 05 T800 Kenworth has 269,243 miles and 5904 hours on it when parked this afternoon.
  20. he really went all out with the pictures and description in the posting!!!
  21. i can see that with a county truck, they get more idle time than work time. i would steer away from that truck, way too much idle time.
  22. welcome to Big Mack Truck Forums. the "lightning bolt" is the trucks electrical malfunction light. it is telling you that there is an issue with the truck somewhere this is the procedure to get the codes: Mack Except Mid-liner: Accessing Diagnostic Trouble Codes V-MAC & V-MAC II Using Electronic Malfunction Lamp The V-MAC module can blink a two-digit blink code for each of the detectable active faults in the system. These codes are displayed by the instrument panel MIL. They allow for quick diagnosis without using a scan tool. If there is more than one active fault there is often one root cause. As a general rule, begin with active faults that involve sensors. To diagnose malfunctions with blink codes, proceed as follows: Turn ignition On, then wait until MIL’s two second power-up test has finished. There must be an active fault which keeps lamp on after power-up test. Turn speed control switch Off, then press and hold SET/DECEL or RESUME/ACCEL switch until MIL goes out. After approximately one second, the V-MAC module will begin blinking out its two-digit blink codes. The two digits of each code will be separated by a one second idle time (MIL out). Each blink code digit may consist of up to eight on–off flashes. The on and off time for each flash will be 1/4 of a second. Count the MIL on flashes to determine two digit blink code. Only one active fault will be blinked per request. There must be a separate request for each active fault if there are multiple active faults present. To display additional faults, hold in SET/DECEL or RESUME/ACCEL switch until MIL goes out. Blinking sequence will begin again after a one second delay. If fault blinking request is repeated while V-MAC is in process of blinking an active fault, that sequence will stop and next active fault will display. If an active fault is cleared while V-MAC is blinking that fault, procedure will not stop. MIL will return to normal functions after every complete blinking sequence and will remain on for active faults and off for inactive faults. If more than one fault is present, continue blink code sequence until first active fault is displayed again to ensure all faults have been accessed.
  23. on my 05 granite the fan stayed on after it was sent for service. i tried new coolant sensors, fan switch, and nothing worked. sent it back to the guy that did the service and they could not find anything wrong. three months later later it started getting hot and i put the gauges on the ac. high side was 370lbs. let out a bit of refrigerant and fan worked fine for the next two years until we sold it. someone overcharged the AC while it was in for service. if high pressure is over 325 lbs i believe it is, the fan will stay on.
  24. correct. my 05 427 did not have EGR or any other emissions crap on it.
