You're exactly right Rob and I'm sick of hearing 'em whine about everything. Don't have to like everything, just shut the f#*& up! Trey P.S. Merry CHRISTMAS!

Congratulations! Nice truck. Trey

Congratulations! Sure glad you didn't have to buy a transmission. Now hopefully you can get back to work! Trey

Yeah from what I've heard it's about a given they will need it sometime but once they are changed over they don't seem to give anymore trouble. Just some of the "bugs" that had to be worked out of the first ones. If it's had that done already it should be good to go. Trey

Barry I've had the same problem when I try to make an album. It says the file is too large when I try to add a picture. I've put pictures on a post though with no problems. Trey

I've got a '08 GU713 with a MP8 485 that I really like. Had to replace the injector cups when it had about 20,000 miles on it but other than that I really like it. Trey

He was the oldest and the one doin the cuttin was the youngest so I guess he was king! Trey

Randyp sounds like you need another Mack down there with an end dump on it! Trey

I have this friend who has two brothers that work together at a cotton gin. One of them got an old 500 gallon propane tank he was gonna make a smoker out of. He took it to the gin and everyday after work he would go out there and think about cutting into it but would chicken out. One day he decided he was gonna do it, so he got the torch drug out and got everything set up. I should mention this was all happening between two big metal gin buildings. The other brother was around the end of one of the buildings watching this all happen and just when he started to cut into the tank, the brother at the end of the building held a .45 revolver in the air and pulled the trigger. Don't know if he ever finished the tank or not! lol Trey

Looks like it would be a good truck. The only thing I don't care for on a dump truck is the 10 speed but I guess it depends on what you're going to do with it. Trey

I've had the same problem, saying a file is too large. Still haven't figured that out! Trey

fxfymn, how do you use a load strap when you air them back up? I try to fix my own flats so I pay attention everytime the subject comes up and always seem to learn a new trick! Trey

And put in term limits. Can't remember if those were in there but make it so it isn't a retirement plan.

Still sounds electrical to me. Did you say the transmission is not electronically controlled? Trey

That hit the nail on the head. Trey

By the time I can afford one, there's no telling how much horsepower they will have-even in the U.S. Trey

Pawel, I'm amazed at the detail there! Looking forward to seeing the progress and can't wait to see it done! Trey

Best one I've heard in a while! Trey

I think it would be cool to have an older truck working like you're talking about, but I would make for sure I had a guarantee of plenty of work for it. You would never be able to recover all your money if you had to sell. You would have to "work" your money back out of it. Trey

I forgot about those scoops on the hood of that first R model. Trey

heh heh heh! I take it he hasn't faced the same demise as you have Rob! .....yet Trey

This would be a good spot or ebay. Had someone a while back needing one for a RW. Not sure how close they would be to the same. Trey

Sounds like short to me or maybe water got in something shorting it out but hard to say. Trey

As good or better. They've had some problems due to emissions equipment but so have Cat and Cummins. Trey

Given enough time, there's no telling what can be thought up here to help mankind! Trey
