  1. Central N.C. Gas $4.09..... Diesel $4.79..... today... 30+ cent jump in 1-2 day's.... Let's go Brandon !!!!! We had a pipeline.... What the Truck!!! jojo
  2. heck, I have 2 sets of Mack tranny manuals, plus a bunch more. I'm only wanting $550.00 / set U.S. shipping is free... but no takers.. so I guess they will sit in my library.. They are worth much more, but I feel like i'm realistic.. I know what I pay for book's and I use them as well.. anyway... I hope you score, Bob.... Jojo
  3. yeah that seems like a stretch... hell, is there a law dog that would even know what they are looking at? as long as they are the same style and 'Length' positioned in the same holes, I dont see a problem........ and I too, tried to buy auto slacks for a steer axle last week. i gave them the part number on the slack adjuster, (Mack dealer)... they said, I cant help you, I need a VIN and need to see them.. I explained the truck was an '86 Superliner. "Well I need a VIN"... what a pain in the A$$... jojo
  4. yes.. to test/prove it un hook 1 side of it and try to start the truck... jojo
  5. if the yoke is installed, just take a box cutter to it.... gone.. new yoke, slide it off and give to youre purse puppy as a chew toy.. just sayin' ... if i'm wrong... well the forum will say so.... jojo
  6. and another thing... get rid of the rubber "Dirt holder inner" ...I toss those out.... Can someone please tell me that I'm wrong, and why??? I like the yoke to be able to sling the dirt off rather than keep it jammed in there to cut the outer seal lip and get inside and cut a groove on the yoke.... jojo
  7. Too funny,,, just having a good time with my friends around the world.. jojo
  8. Heck I just spent $75 on one Midliner book similar in size to the ones in the big binders.. If you can get the whole mess for under $500.00, I would say you are doing good.. jojo
  9. no biggie... right?? so the rear drive does most of the pushing, therefore the temp is higher.. and with a clogged vent, the pressure has to go some where, just a thought.... Jojo
  10. Too funny, My old pal's name was "Jim" from Kentucky.. so there is still a clutch cable, but it has an air assist cylinder at bell housing.. there should be an exhaust on it. I would think if it was clogged, there would be a slow release issue.. who know's... he said it works fine now... Mabey its a female assist valve.. jojo
  11. Mark T has some good points, oil life and valve adjustment.. I am very particular about the valve adjustment... I have actually upset a couple guys about it, but..... I don't care... I dont break lifters.... jojo
  12. The Granite truck is a good one, It replaced the RD. The ASET I is way better thatn the 'C' series.. Do you know how to tell the difference by looking at the engine? Good luck, jojo
  13. Toyota, you are fine.. there is a boatload of knowledge here.. I'm glad that the mechanic you know is a good one.. Here in central N.C. the issue's are the same. I left the dealership 13+ years ago and went out on my own as well. I did try to go back to the dealership, I lasted 2 years, and couldnt handle the inside politics, and seeing customers get hit hard in the pocket. Keep in touch with us.. Jojo
  14. I always tell my customers to buy the 9 spring 7 paddle easy pedal clutch.. It's my go-to clutch... just my opinion.. jojo
  15. excellent info Onyx. Are you saying there isnt a spring on the pedal? i saw a hole for one in the picture.. jojo. you got this,
  16. If the clutch is not slipping, then the pressure plate is engaging the clutch and therefore returning... did the return spring on the pedal under the dash, take a crap? is the air assist cyl. not bleeding off instantly causing a slow and or incomplete pedal return? 'F' a damn air assist clutch... Eaton easy pedal is as easy as it needs to be...
  17. Warranty..... hell yeah... why did'nt I think of that?? ... jojo
  18. I was waiting to give another opinion.... You say you are 'just a girl' please be smart and confident about what you have... Go forward with caution, and pay attention to the seasoned guys here at BMT... The truck is amazing... I have the priviledge to work on some of these beauties. I have a friend who is very successful, and he calls on me to do certain repairs when needed, or when he buys another one that needs love... I wish you well, maybe you need to learn how to drive it.. just sayin' you may love it... jojo
  19. does your friend have Premium Tech Tool, or a professional equivalent? Please go in with caution... 'changing parts' isn't just 'changing parts' on these Volvo's.. you can easily cause more issues.. So please study up on this... if your friend had VED12 knowledge, then He may be close enough... jojo
  20. good call. I wonder if it would be cheaper than MackVo.. for the same parts.. you may as well buy a new fan speed switch and the plug on the truck side of that wire harness... they always get hot from a loose connection then they melt the plug, which can cause a short.... Indak makes the switch.. jojo
  21. I'm just impressed that you have a 2021,,,,,,, With a manual transmission... 👍 jojo
  22. I am very sorry for youre loss... Myself,, I would struggle with this.. I would probably just keep it, and maybe one day at a truck show or a parking lot some where when I'm out and about in it, the right guy will come along... 🙏 Jojo
  23. there are grounds behind the cluster to the left, and next to the fuse panel on the right side, there is also a ground breaker on the fire wall next to the starter relay, it is black and just has ground wires on it.. The accessory relay in this model should be a square relay in the right fuse panel.. I cant remember the number.. jojo
  24. Onyx is on to something.. when it is aired up, shut it down... then move the vent selector one click at a time in both directions. if the air leak changes or stops, do what Onyx said. there is a little air piston and the controls also have spaghetti lines going to them and they end to leak, they are push lock type fittings. jojo
