  1. Not a funny April fools joke!
  2. If this is true, Volvo sure screwed Mack by moving them out of their WHQ in Allentown and the test center? Nothing on the internet so far this morning. I am going to raise the BS flag until I see more proof.
  3. Welcome! Wow that is one LONG sentence! Use an API approved engine oil (CJ-4 is the current classification). 15W-40 is the typical weight oil to use. If it is going to be used in the winter and sit outside, I recommend either 10W-30 or 5W-40. I use Mack branded filters.
  4. Barry, Thanks for the notice! I marked the calendar and plan to attend.
  5. Carl and I ate at an italian restaurant near the fairgrounds. Host staff does not meet the level of TK but the food was EXCELLENT!
  6. There have been several persons join, shoot an ad, and then leave. There should be a rule for new members that they cannot post until after 10 or 20 replies. Another forum I belong to has this rule. After you join, you must make 20 replies before you can start your own post/topic.
  7. Happy Easter everyone!
  8. Happy Birthday!
  9. Ben, I wish all kids (and some adults) thought like you do. The world (and future of the world) would be a better place. As for the upside down pictures...I am not "bent out of shape" but if the "modern" devices post them that way....that is NOT acceptable. Maybe if you own a new fangled device, your neck can swivel to view the pics upright but my old neck cannot swivel very far. If you can't take the time to download them correctly, why bother to post them at all? This falls under the same category as spelling and grammer. My two and a half cents.
  10. My MH has a short wheelbase so hopefully it will not be too difficult. Hopefully I will not have to back-up too often.
  11. So you call them and hopefully they can "talk" you into something else.
  12. Congratulations!!!! You lucky dog! Enjoy it and post some (right-side up) pics when you get a chance.
  13. Yep, congratulations and good luck on the next 500K.
  14. Good news...well you know what I mean. It could have been worse (not saying it is not bad) but all things considered. Will keep you and your family in my prayers. Thanks for the update! Hang in there and plan to see you in Macungie.
  15. About that much and 1/2 turn more... Seriously...send Barry a note and see if he can porvide the correct torque. Otherwise, follow Jim's suggestion. I would suggest supporting the tank while tightening.
  16. Brilliantly engineered and brilliant truck are two different things. Us engineers always have a "better" idea.
  17. Someone on BMT buy it????
  18. David - I agree, this one smells. At least there are phone numbers to call...local police station or "cat" house? Truck looks too good to sell for $3000. If it were closer I might be interested. I should call and listen to his "story".
  19. CDL test requires backing in straight line, backing into another lane, and backing into a loading dock. An optional backing test is parallel parking. Backing on a "test" course is easier than real world. That is why I want a short trailer but I have been told short trailers have their issues too.
  20. Saw this listed on eBay...Buy Now Price $3000 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1988-Flat-Nose-Mack-Tractor-MH6-/171014995688?pt=Commercial_Trucks&hash=item27d149bee8
  21. JD thatcher and blade look nice. Too bad the JD blade will not fit my garden tractor.
  22. Mike, Nice trucks! Let me know if you need a place to park them.
