  3. My ex was from static island nu yawk. Talk about an accent! and she was batsheit crazy too.
  4. I had a 237 twin stick 5 speed in my 79 dm. The turbo went and all the local shop had was a 285 hp turbo. Put in the larger 285 injectors with the bigger turbo, and turned up the pump to match. That truck would keep up with the 400 hp 8ll trans triaxles, only falling back on long upgrades.
  5. Iraq, Iran, and afganistan are thee I can think of that would love to have them. 😁 You know, the countries controlled by "the religon of peace"
  6. renault bought mack in 1990, then volvo bought out renault in 2001
  7. oh great another nu yawka
  8. oh and by the way, Dr Tom prescribes a constant large glass of bourbon of your choice, on ice with a splash of ginger ale for pain relief. 😁
  9. ouch!!! that looks like something a dumbazz from nu joisey would do!!!!
  10. that thing is hideous looking. ðŸĪŪ you should send it to me immediately so you will not have to look at it any more!!!! 😁
  11. Paul, seeing as the gooseneck of the trailer is detached, i am thinking mechanical failure on the locking system and the trailer came partially detached letting the deck hit the road causing the driver to loose control and flip. the sudden deceleration would explain the snapped chains and the D-10 flipped over off the trailer .
  12. sorry for the Zena typo. my stupid phone autocorrected me again, and i did not notice it until now on the at home computer.
  13. 92 was the last of the scanias into USA Paul. there a still quite a few scania tandem dump trucks running the road here in central New Jersey, including 3 V-8's that i know of pulling low boy trailers.
  14. Tell Miss Zena the senior window licker from jorsey said hey back atcha! ðŸĪŠ
  15. 3 wreckers and a roll back. you need new glasses!!! 😁
  16. my kryptonite is tequila Paul. i can drink anything else and i am fine. give me tequila and i turn into a real askwhole that wants to fight everyone.
  17. a friend still runs 4 every day. the newest one has over 2 million miles on it. and looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. when they got done for the day, they are disconnected from the dry bulk tank trailer, and washed before parked inside the garage. every saturday they are greased, every other saturday two trucks are inspected top to bottom and repaired as needed.
  18. yup, wheel chocks strapped to the front bumper, and safety bars to prevent falling off the fender while doing pre trip inspection of engine compartment.
  19. that is why god invented eye bleach Mate!!!
  20. i do not store pictures here on forums, i store them in my computer and than i post pictures from my computer. never have any issues.
  21. agreed. i am not a fan of the western star looks, but that one ain't bad. kind of surprised they are only using 525 hp for a truck that weighs 81,585 lbs EMPTY.
  22. that is why i tried adding "new blood" to it. 👍
  23. yea, i remember those kysor rooftop units. ran 72 autocar, a 68 or 69 freightshaker cabover, and a 65 brockway with them. as you said, when they worked, it was like being in a meat locker. even in those old wrecks that had more holes in them than insulation!!!
  24. back in 88 i got a new R-68 with AC. asked the mack dealer why it had ac and he told me any class 8 truck built after Jan 1 88 had to have AC. i don't know if he was pulling my leg or not, but every truck we got after that had AC. the 87 and older trucks usually did not have AC
  25. every mack i ever drove had great ac, and fantastic heaters. great ac in the winter, and fantastic heaters in the summer!!!! 😁
