Happy Birthday Vlad. I hope you are doing good.. 🎂🥳

That's a sweet looking truck. I would take a 6 speed. Ive drove the 7spd, and i sucked at it, the shift gates are too close and I would screw up. Of course, that truck was in my life in 2000... i may be a bit better at it today..... nahh, just kidding..
-
Next time, or maybe I will put a triangle on the back.. I ran the 4 ways so much, I had to refill the blinker fluid bottle when I got back..
-
Diesel is $6/gallon on I-85 at the truck stops.. (Central North Carolina)... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I only had about 6000 pounds on board. Dont know what the crane weighs.
-
It pulled good, I ran out of rear gear.. if it had an 8LL OD. I think I could have gone 70 MPH.. I dont need to go fast, just dont need to get run over.
-
It ran great. It has never left the city lomits in its near 30 years of life. When I parked it, there were no drips, or bad smells.. next time i drive it i may were ear muffs. 😁

I got to drive this little Jewel today... I had to bring those 2 pumps in for repair.. The shop is 92 miles away.. I was a rolling road block for 4 hours.. I bet I made a lot friends who told me I was #1... take note of the speedo, and the original miles on the inline 6 cummins. I think its a 12 valve..
-

I'm telling you The mack engine is a tough S.O.B.
-
sounds like you are on a good path.. I expect you to be pleased with the end result as long as you stay diligent..
-
Yep, that is why I suggested .002'' thicknes gauge... If it doesnt fit then it's good...
-
G.W. There is truth to just ''Knowing'' it's good to go.. You speak a truth..
-
Well, for almost 2 million miles, I will say the bushings look great. Do you have a .002'' thickness gauge or a sliver of steel shim paper to cut a thickness gauge out and use it to check the fitment? If it was mine and on a budget, I would wash my hands good and dip my finger in some oil and feel the bushings for any grooves and go from there... This may not sound professional, but Ive done it many times..
-
here is my old junk.. I bought these almost 30 years ago along with some 2-4'' mic's. for $75.00 at a yard sale at an Antique store in Scarborough Maine... I think it was called Centervail Antiques...
-
Oh hell thats nice.. pricy too..
-
Freightrain, I bet we have the same bore gauge set. Mine is in a faded orange case. Yes to the feel.... if they rock back and forth, its worn. If it slides smooth back and forth, they are good. Yes to the copper color.
-
If remeber correctly, the clearence is .0015". Can you post pics of the bushings in their current state ?
-
Well looky there. Otherdog and Blackdog2 share a bitthday. Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊!!!!
-
One thing for sure is... My Pup's are going to have some yummie treats when I make stock and pick the bones... They sit and stare at me and quiver while I pick the meat off the bones..

Low air buzzer going off all the time.

With the pressure switches being new, do you have the normally closed and normally open switches in the right spots? But you did say with them unplugged it still sounds out.. still leaning towards a backfeed...
