  1. Yeah,, I remember the movie American Grafitti, Bob.. but this time I am out... I'm only 53.. Luv U Man.. yes I did watch Beverly Hillbille's on T.V. also.. Jojo
  2. My Lord.. All of you guy's need to get together and write a book.. I am not joking.. The knowledge and experience is amazing.. Jojo
  3. Yes, you can spill fuel.. Good one Hippy... See,,, today knowone knows how gravity and syphoning works.. When I was a driver, we knew not to park on steep hills. because if the tanks were filled the lower tank would spill fuel through the cap... We Knew what to do.. Park On Level Ground... Dahhhh.......
  4. I have often wondered if the gearing in the tranny's like 5 and 7 spd. were also a reason for the weak engine breaking? because you had to run them up to 1800+ before shifting, tells me that when you let off the throttle and reverse the torque throught the tranny, you are turning gears that are able to over come the engine power because the gear ratio's are far apart? Of course I probably should have looked at a chart before this comment, but when I drive a 9spd plus truck and use the engine brake and downshift I would get some decent engine braking, but in a 5/7 spd Mack, I would have to wait longer to downshift to get the full advantage of the engine brake.. Of course I'm talking about Pre- Powerleash engine brakes.. Looking forward to more comments..
  5. They were weak,, I used to try to tune them better, and my limited knowledge and resources on E-6's didn't help either.. That is a book That I need in my library.. Jojo
  6. I remember foil on the rabbit ears very well.. Global warming is a lie.. the earth is gonna do whatever it wants too.. Big Ego's think they can control it..

  10. Uhh Ohh.... I feel a "Sidetrack"coming on........... Bobbb.....??
  11. Amen to the last part, Mech..
  12. There is always a concern that a ground war will come to the U.S... For decades I have said to many people, that bullets, rockets and bombs, are less of a concern to me than the use of Biological weapons.. All of these recent actions, whether its, Baloons, or kissing China's A$$, Train wrecks, ignoring American strife but giving aid to a country, that really isn't a friend, in my opinion. Seems to tie in to a fear of mine.. Ok, well i gotta go now, i was scratching my head and just ripped my 'tin foil hat', I need to make a new one... Jojo
  13. This is what I use to seal the H-Rings inplace.. It is a cross reference for the Loc-tite product that is in the engine book.. Do you have a Mack E-Tech book?
  14. Why is the Ohio train wreck, unimportant to the Biden Klan? He sends billions to Ukraine, and yet its over a week now, and FEMA is not going in to help.. What will the next major incedent will be? These Democrats are litteraly destroying our Great Country, right in front of us, and smiling the whole time. I'm at a loss.. I am not crazy. I am simply at a loss for any explanation for this..
  15. It looks like it's 'kin' to an MR... Did the post office use these too? Does it have an air starter,and an Allison 5 spd? just curious.
  16. Hoorayy!! no more pushing the filler hose in at an angle to get the oil in..
  17. H-Ring tool,,,,, Cam Shoe,,,, cam bushing driver,,,, Engine Barring tool,,,, Magnetic lifter sticks (mine are home made and cost under $50.00),,,, Sled gauge with a dial indicator,,,, Depth mic. 4'' plus length. The counterbore is 4.003'' deep.,,,, Liner puller,,,, if you dont have a liner press, mine is homemade. you can drive them in with a 5# Dead blow hammer and a piece of good plywood,,,, A medium sized toaster oven,,,, front main seal installer,,,, [(2) .010''] / .016'' / .024'' / .021'' feeler gauges,,,, 3/8'' torque wrench,,,, 1/2'' torque wrench,,,, ..

  18. What clean source will they use to make electricity? And what will happen to all the oil that our planet re- produces, and stores deep in the ground? Hmmm?
  19. Mech,,,, Probably because you were a "Reel to Reel" kind'a guy...
  20. Mech. The crayons were a way to go.. Hell I should see if i can get some.. The laser temp gun is what I use, but it can fool you too.. still a good tool.. My thought was to just see if the oil is contaminated.. Not to sound like a Dick... but many guys don't know the older ways. Myself included. but I was taught by some old timers 30+years ago about trouble shooting. So I may ask some basic questions to stir up other ideas.. That's when YOU come along.. and that's when I KNOW that smart sh!t is about to be posted.. I use the Halo test often.. Of course I am not an oil analyzer, But I know bad engine oil when I see it.. just sayin'.. Mech, do you agree? Not about me just curious.. By the way.... I love Kielbasa!!! you Polack... jojo
  21. To record over it.
  22. Try ordering the soap and towels in Spanish.. That should fix the issue..
  23. Clutch,,,, What button is that?
  24. I wanna be that Boy again!!! My big thrill was driving our '73 Scout (258 cid. 3 spd manual) on the logging trails on our land in Gray Maine..
  25. How is the oil level? Did you do a 'Halo' test to see if the oil is diluted? jojo
