  1. If the issue is height related, wouldn't both wheels on rear act the same . exception might be due to left side wheel is on crown of road right side lower . as with many issues on this site - not being there to physically inspect challenges things. an empty trailer should have enough weight to pressure air suspension. out of round drum if jacked up and manually spun should indicate issue. also out of round would have a tendency to run hotter loaded ? tires /brake shoes/ drums all check out ; i'm back to slack adjuster error == be it over adjusting, or mis aliment. over adjusting would give a lock up / hot wheel run too long. before spending more $$$; the swap right to left drums, possibly shoes has my vote.
  2. If Trump is "arrested" , would that not give him a criminal record and disqualify his ability to hold public office ?? I don't do much TV watching or follow politics.
  3. scary part to me is listening to the news when numbers are given regards to the 800 million to some nation; 10 billion to foreign country and so on. 1= we know most of those $$$ are going into wrong pockets ;2- someone has to pay the tab at some point==our kids! I thought my first wife was expert at writing bouncing checks ;; this "clown " in washington has her beat by miles.
  4. seems a persons mind was much more active in the day; so many phone numbers to remember. and never forget to keep a dime in your pocket for the pay phones through out the town that had phone books in them.
  5. nice looking unit. example of the good days; simple yet effective. round rear tail lights. new trucks use to have two in each vehicle cab box. comical thing was when the factory units started to come through with rectangle rear lights having stop/tail/ signal , the cab boxes still came with two round tails. doing new truck prep at Mack ; i had dozens of round tail lights home.
  6. looks to be a skidster in the back no aux power pushing . no floatation tires on Mack ; an olde but goody. just proves = want the job done call on Mack!!
  7. did you ever consider 5/8- or 3/4 double laminated plywood used inside refer trailers? Baskin robbins trailers had the double laminate side walls. alot of moisture there along with weekly pressure washing. never a problem. i'm sure expensive ;;; even taking a cut out rubber mat glued to top side of laminated for non slip floor . i used a cut piece made to fit inside of my day cab for my "motel lay overs " . clean, fit between seats and stood behind seats when not in use. sister-in-law made a cover for the "mattress"(2- 2in foam ) . like everything today the so called pressure treated plywood isn't that great.
  8. parents house '50's-'70's party line 888-6202. black rotary phone on a phone table with a phone book ' pass words i used last week ??? wait let me find the paper I wrote password on == lost it .
  9. i ordered L E D lights on my 2021 jeep mojave , kinda regret it now. never use high beams . have more oncoming traffic when on narrow roads flash their high beams at me. going to see about adjusting them down. have driven with just parking lights on ; ( they are bright enough. don't like driving during the night (or day time in CT ).
  10. well if the dinosaurs come back it will be old times for me. that's what i used to get my license!! yea ;;I'm old. 😁🤣🤣
  11. the ones actually in charge need to keep the puppet around. it distracts the underlying motives.
  12. now some way or other this canoe with new turbo is tied into the new breed Mack topic other wise canoe is going up stream without a paddle LMAO ,🤣. there must be a bulldog on front of canoe.
  13. lucky for me I was sitting down reading the RD text LOL. ALL of the BMT "crew" will be waiting for pictures of the new '98-02 RD Mack .
  14. always good to hear updates especially when they are positive. thanks
  15. She's a truck driver, mechanic , welder owns and drivers a trike ! with total respect intended::: AND a fine looking lady. now JoJo you have made myself and possibly many other here jealous. LOL😇
  16. your wife is a truck driver AND a mechanic !!! no way will you say she can weld also 😁. You have found the perfect Women.
  17. back in '77 I bought a new ford F-350 dual wheel C&C had a flatbed dump body installed. back then the motor craze was to have a 4x4 with white wagon wheels. many at work questioned my vehicle till winter came and the request to borrow my vehicle started. ' boy bet you can haul a lot of wood on that or gee my three snowmobiles will fit on there. my reply = can haul a lot of wood and pull the lever and it dumps the wood!! don't follow the trend == set it!! LOL
  18. i blame the years of brake kleen (the good stuff) , asbestos clutch dust breathing for some of my senility. not as much old age ..now let not go off topic
  19. enlarge the first picture ,I can see the top switch having a white sticker. I also noticed a pink wire not looking factory in picture. some ones been rewiring .
  20. definitely the brake light switch would be live all the time . us old folk are use to the round two pole live at all times switches . can't remember too well; wasn't the kysor low water/ high temp system using a two pole switch having isolated ground circuit ??
  21. and they work real well in model building . also shortens the list of "to do items" getting things done faster.
  22. the low air buzzer has one wire for purposes of connecting ground circuit ; picture of on line switch would be used in a system having isolated ground circuits. always willing to learn , but would question the teacher as it being a brake light switch 😱. the brass tab lower right insulated . if it were ground side and top power side ;; sparks fly. unless lower right insulated enough to carry power circuit ;; THEN it could be a NEW style brake light switch:::: to which I stand corrected and have to stay for detention after school and write on the blackboard 100 times ::I will not question the teacher!!! been there done that toooo 😁
  23. the low air buzzer switch should NOT be powered by live wire; power source should be from acc relay side which is NO power with key OFF.
  24. the way rules ,computers AND money ruined nascar , same was done to drag racing. the funnys and rails of the '50-70's that looked like real cars modified and only did 150mph were way more interesting then todays computer driven 300 + mph vehicles. steel B-model vs todays computer "plastic "::: times change ; sad
