    Thread is a good read, I was perplexed first time I saw a truck that didn't use 15w40 for steering fluid, but older Mack trucks are all I'd driven to that point. Gotta use what the manufacturer tells you to use, doesn't matter if you bought something else in bulk for other trucks.

    KsCarbel2 lays out a pretty good argument, I'd agree. If Volvo wanted medium duty they'd just buy a medium duty company to to get into the market. I doubt they'd put any substantial effort into building the Mack brand. I assume they'd do it with their own name, unless they don't want bad PR for a shoddy roll-out.

    Something like 85% of journalists are registered Democrats. That about sums it up! It's not news it's propeganda. The same that allowed Hitler and every other fascist rise to power.

    In my short experience I've learned they accuse others of their own crimes. Case and point, Hilary managing to get waste of time investigation into Trump when she's the one who pandered to Russia. https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/429292-the-case-for-russia-collusion-against-the-democrats Trump may not be a morally perfect guy, but he's no socialist pig. And for those who are angry that he hasn't gotten a wall built yet, stop sending he swamp dwellers to work with in Congress. He's not a king for 4 years, he can only do what the Constitution allows him to do. Congress and the Courts have to do their part.

    I was looking at the indent as mentioned by phase 1 and milkman.

    It would appear that Paccar replaced the Clutch Pedal with a spatula holder for flipping pancakes while you drive. Or it's so you can buy a $0.50 spatula to mount there and pretend you're a real truck driver. Zoom in on the lack of a clutch, you'll see what I mean.

    Everyone loves a Superliner.

    That superliner has too much hood for a single axle.

    Not sure, but I have been less than impressed with "rebuilt" air compressors from my dealer for my endt676 engine. I've replaced a couple because my wet tank loads up with a thick oily tar. Throwing rebuilt compressors at it won't make it stop filling with this tar so I gave up and just drain the tank every month or two, drawing as much as half a gallon or more of this crap out.

    My 95 rd has the C channel bumper and the uprights, all in stainless. It looks sharp on that Hidden R. My 79 R has the same style bumper minus the chrome and uprights, plus a few scratches and dents. What style spot mirror brackets are those on the hood? I'm putting together an '88 R triaxle and it'd be nice to have spot mirrors up front.

    I had a 2001 etech 400 that would take longer than usual to start because the cam position sensor was bad. Did you grease the filter gasket before putting the new filter on?

    When did Mack start using that bumper with the uprights? Never noticed it on the original style hood trucks. Only ever on the newer R hoods.
  13. JoeH
    THATs what we wanted to see!

    And looks like another R to the driver side of the blue R!

    My 97 ram 2500 Cummins has 217k+ on the original transmission. I plow snow with it here in Pennsylvania with a 900 lbs plow on the front and 2-3000 lbs of salt in the back. I couldn't ask for a tougher truck, rides like a Cadillac at over 10k lbs on an 8800 lbs chassis. First truck I had was an 89 POS F250.

    http://www.truckpaper.com/ListingsDetail/Detail.aspx?lp=TRK&OHID=26489005 93 pictures, seller must really love this truck, condition matches the love. It looks in great shape for the age, let alone a work truck. a little tlc, a couple seals on the rears and a coat of paint and you'd have yourself a show truck. Looks like original wheel rims.

    License plate on that blue Dodge matches the one in the vintage picture; no sign of a 5th wheel or any other body mounting, truck looks brand new.

    It's in the title. Kinda.

    I have a running low rpm ENDT676 stamped 1976, not sure if that makes it a 76 or a 77 model year. It's in a 1980 DM chassis we just retired.

    That hood scoop is yours if you still want it. If you want pictures send me an email or a cell number I can text pictures to. I'll get around to cutting up the hood sometime in the next couple months I expect.

    I'm in southeastern PA. Slide would be nice, it'd get used in the yard once in a blue moon to move storage trailers around, but that's about it. Would probably use it to go get lunch in town once in a while.

    In the next few years I hope to retire our '79 R686ST straight truck and restore it back to a tractor, maybe for show. To be a nice show truck should I be getting a period correct 5th wheel? And where would I pick one up at?
