i had one break. in 1988, truck was two weeks old. almost rolled that one too. i saw the car on the side of the road as i was going over and slammed on the brakes. knocked the rear rear out of the truck after the driver side bucket broke too. mack towed the truck back and tried to blame me until i pointed out the truck was only 52k lbs and registered for 70k, and it only had 1300 miles on it. then heard from the salesman they had 5 other brand new trucks towed in with broken buckets within a week of mine. a few months later the official determination was defective casting left thin spots.

1950 Mack LTL
tjc transport replied to Macke9500's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
don't know if this will help you, but i found these while looking through bookface marketplace: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/748874186380471/?hoisted=false&ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A12e20656-4740-46aa-90df-8080fa7877b0 -
proper maintenance on a truck that runs 12 hours per day would be grease once a week. and with any more than 2 inches or so of axle walk the bronze bushings in the tubes should be changed. i had a 99 that had close to 1 million miles on it when sold. there was less than 1 inch of axle movement. it got greased once a week, which was between 1000 and 1500 miles a week driving. oil was changed every 5000 miles, and air filter was changed every 6 months with removal and blown out every three months. that truck is still on the road with close to 1.5 million miles on it. although it is no where as clean as when i had it.

On a mechanical engine the only thing would be no fuel, or no air. Or parts missing from the engine.
-
that parts changer should be fired, and charged with creating a traffic hazard!!! yes they walk a bit. but 5 inches??? that is just criminal intent to kill someone.

i am still using the kenmore gas drier my parents bought used in 1956. it was two or three years old when they got it. only thing changed in all these years was 1 thermocouple, 1 door light switch, 1 lint collector screen, and 2 sets of door cables.

the maroon in charge dared the republicans to try bringing charges against the crack head yesterday. saying "i wish republicans lots of luck in plans to investigate hunter if they take the house"
-
quite a few machines here in new jersey would not register republican votes. not only would the not register, they would not even accept rep votes. dem votes, no problem.

Simple. Cities rule the rest of the state. Even if they are only 10% of the land mass.

we can only hope, and wait for the results Bob.

so true my friend, so true.

interesting article. i will have to find the english version, as i can not find the translate button. i also fixed the typo in the title. on a side note, i never knew "Marmon Herrington" all wheel drive conversions was part of the Marmon truck company.

how do I set the clock on my Mack radio?
tjc transport replied to dpete's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
my new truck is not quite that bad. so far it has only gone 1 minute off in 4 weeks. (yesterday) the 2020 T880 would go 1 minute off every 5-6 days. -
Vlad, I would wait a few months to see if the political dynamics here change as a lot of people hope they will. If that does indeed happen, my bet is relations between Russia and the States will get a whole lot better.

how do I set the clock on my Mack radio?
tjc transport replied to dpete's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
The easiest way is to take a three year old for a ride. They will have the clock and favorite radio stations set properly in less than 30 seconds. 😁 -
350 Cummins in a B 42? Is it a possibility?
tjc transport replied to Craig N's topic in Engine and Transmission
that is a big engine. a better fit would be a 6BT. they can easily make 350 hp with very little money. -
same here. i bought my place 27 years ago for 60grand. the house across the street sold three years ago for 404 grand, and three weeks ago for 570 grand. i was already offered 300 for my one bedroom place with 24X26 garage.
-
actually, not really. falcons do not bring the big bucks. a 289 4 speed 65 sprint in showroom condition will be lucky to see 10 grand, where a "15 foot" 6 cylinder automatic mustang will easily bring 15 grand.
-
nope. last year for the sprint was 65. and there were not many made in 65. but i hear you on the lot of money. in 77 i was offered 17 acres with a 2500 square foot house and 100X50 two story barn for $17,000. those 17 acres sold 3 years ago for 4.5million.
-
65-66galaxy for me. And with the falcon, it is 64-65.
