tjc transport

it may be something stupid like low fluid level. i have seen simple things like that cause supposed intelligent people spend big bucks searching for a repair.

yup. the ENDT-865 is a Mack V8 engine, not a Detroit. 325 HP and 1100 Ft LBs torque.

when i was young i thought i was hot snot when i got the 79 DM800 with a 237. that truck would run circles around the B models.

i aint old school.. just old. and i agree, triple sticks scrapping the roof are stupid. but them supertruckers like to show off. i am the same with transmissions too. ran just about all of them at one time or another. favorite was the 18 speed though. plenty of gears to put you where you need to be. you don't have to use all of them though. when empty, i would usually run 3,5,7,9, and over. i am opposite with the automatic though. got one in the 2020 Kenworth and love it, especially for milling and paving. when milling and paving, i can get out of the truck after a 12-14 hour day and my left knee is no longer the size of a basketball.

Abuse of a patient would have been smacking him in the head with an oxygen bottle for spitting on you. Putting a pillow case over his head was preventing him from spreading possible infectious diseases

Same here, glad you walked away uninjured.

Are you using the clutch? That is a big no no on these rigs. Clutch is for dead stop starting only. Once rolling forget the clutch is there.

I thought the same thing this am, but did not have time to search for it.

you can tell that trans rite away. instead of shifting low to deep reduction, the side knob is forward reverse. here is the Mack T310:

yup. watch the tack. look at where it tops out, and where it goes into gear. but as said, if you pull it out of 4th at 1800, it should slip into 5th at around 1400 to 1450. same with downshifting run it down to 1200, rev it up to 1600 or 1650 and slip it into next lower gear. don't try to force it. just hold it close and it will suck rite itno gear when you find the sweet spot.

the eaton fuller "8LL" is actually a 9 speed with deep reduction gear splitter. but they call first gear low. so that leaves low, and 8 gears plus a deep reduction splitter. . hence the 8LL designation.

what he said^^^ to go from high to low, just flip the switch. once taken out of 5th, you can just slip it into 4th. it will not shift between high and low unless the trans is in neutral.

from the internet: The Pressed Steel Car Company was a builder of railroad cars and equipment based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that was founded in 1899, and had facilities in Pittsburgh and Chicago. It operated until 1956.[1]

yup, pretty much says it all.

he joined October 12, 2010 and last logged on October 1, 2017 birthday listed is November 20 2000, so that would make him 21 years old. 8he ,495

that is the 94? and newer hood.

because big brother said you need to get it. so you have to get it because big brother said you need to get it. baaaaaa......🐏🐏🐏🐏

first thing i thought of when i saw that pic was a continental overhead valve 6.

They were in damn near everything back then

no shortages here in Jersey.....yet. but they had no problems raising the prices 25 cents per gallon over the past week.

wow, that was a HARD hit! first thing i would do is try pulling it with a modified version of a portable frame machine. long beam under the truck fastened to the frame. a pivot point on the end of that beam, with a long vertical beam. hydraulic cylinder. between the two. clamp the back metal to the vertical beam and apply pressure to the cylinder. that body looks like it is aluminum. it should pull fairly straight with gently hammer and dolly work. the rear compartment material with lights may need replacing though.

mack was never a moderator. and was banned with the rest of the trouble makers last year when we would not follow the rules. he then started two new accounts and tried causing trouble with them too, before both of those accounts were banned.

he is still listed as an active moderator.

i see she has her "personal floatation devices" on too. 😁
