Sometimes you need to drive long ways to see a Mack truck
tjc transport replied to Vladislav's topic in Odds and Ends
safe travels Vlad!!! we will be patiently awaiting your next round of pictures. -
if possible i would go with a 4-71 over a 4-53. much more power.
-
fuel mileage will be between 1 and 4 mpg. if you are really lucky with a good tail wind you may see 5-6 mpg when running empty....downhill.
-
needs stacks....with no mufflers so the neighbors can hear you coming and going.

EZ-off oven cleaner is fantastic for removing lettering from paint. dont hurt the paint either.
-
same with my 15 liter Joey. 8-10 MPG out on the road cruise set. the ISL 370HP is 9 liters.

Little engine. With automatic they are good, but a real slug with the 8LL. We had that 370/8LL combo in the Pete 348, and no one wanted to drive it cause it would not get out of its own way.

U and DM
tjc transport replied to mrsmackpaul's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Paul, U and DM had same cabs. the difference was in the firewall. U had engine partly in the cab, DM did not. we had a DM with wrecked cab, dash, roof ,and back wall. (a jerk in a 980 was driving through the yard with bucket up and "did not see it" put the cutting edge into the bottom of the windshield area and ripped the cab off the truck) we put put a used U cabin excellent condition on it. cut the DM firewall out, and welded it into the U cab than put it on the truck -
i would either move the gauges or bend the shifter a bit so it does not hit the gauges.
-
if he does, i will ban both your azzes!!!!! 🤣
-
Paul, be glad you only have a princess and not a queen!!
-
You should try new joisey.....50 at 5 am, 85 at 5 pm. Sometimes we will see 25 degree temp swings in 1 hour

i had an 87 F150 stepside come in to the shop once with erratic throttle. 302 with SROD trans. the throttle shaft on the throttle body was so worn out the throttle would bind on full throttle. it also had a massive vacuum leak through the shaft bushings. the guy did not believe me till i showed him. got a throttle body out of a junk yard from a low mile wreck. cost $150 total for diagnosis and repair. it had been to 4 other shops and no one could figure out what was wrong with it.

Biden announces toughest emission rules on trucks
tjc transport replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
cleaning the air here does no good when pollution comes in from other countries. all we can hope for is that once team stupid is replaced we still have a country to run and the new leaders will undo all the policies of team stupid. -
remove all warning signs and let Mr Darwin give out his awards freely!!!

heated mirrors are nice in fog, or when you drive through different temp and moisture zones. here in New Jersey it is not strange to be driving in sunny cool, than drop into a valley where it is cloudy or foggy and moist. instant no see out of mirrors. they also work real good when someone slashes a bit of water up, the heat dries them out quickly.
