cruiseliner64

Have to agree with Geoff on this one.I hauled end dumps for a few years and it really depended on who was loading the product.Best ride was got by loading from the rear tapering off towards the front to spread the weight evenly.Also the "mound" should be as close to the centre line of the trailer as possible.If its to one side even slightly the truck rode like a buckin bronto.Having the load centered on the trailer also made tipping much safer...

Wow Paul what a line up....Id kill to be there.Thanks for the pictures keep them coming.Id love to hear the "tank" E9 running.How many trucks are there???.Yer all so dam lucky to have shows like that....... Paul

Great work Paul....Love the last bit about rookies and wrong gear. I know that situataion only too well🤣.... Paul

Good job.It is a beautiful truck.Im sure it would fit nicely into someones collection.... Paul

Dam that loader brings back memories...had one as a kid.Great job Joey...Love the blaster too..... Paul

Good luck with the new job.You must do whats best for yourself.Nobody gonna look after you but you.... Paul

Just do it Joey...its easier to beg for forgiveness than permission.....Id love that truck but shipping and import tax would make it a 21/22000 dollar truck over here.The truck is outstanding... Paul

Oh lord that truck is so so beautiful....if only I had the .... Paul

Nasty...cant help but I feel for you... Paul

Saw the video on YT by Edison Motors of the new Autocar.Man what a truck..real old school and that diagnostic screen is fantastic.really how to build a truck for today Paul

Oh boy do I envy you guys.Converted to US dollars Diesel is now 9.48 a gallon over here.....Think the Cruiseliner will be parked up for a while🥶.... Paul

Hope this makes you feel even better...I was 60 when I got mine and thanks to the guys on this site Iv learned a heck of a lot about Macks....Ask loads of questions and remember the most stupid question is the question you dont ask......because the answer may be the one you needed all along....... Paul

They dont look like spring parking brake pots to me.Look like the brake pots on the front axle of our Mack... Paul

Thanks Mark,I do understand the cooling arrangement but the question I have is why is the vent hose of such heavy construction and does it vent air as described by Geoff, since its from the highest point on the engine to the highest point on the rad.I have to say our Cruiseliner was the easiest vehicle I have ever filled with coolant.I filled it to about an inch below the filler neck had coolant at all the bleed points instantly ran it to working temp and didnt even need to top it up!!! Paul

Im finding this very interesting...Heres a picture of the set up on our Cruiseliner.The top water hose(silver) goes from rad tank to stat houseing.Then a hose about 1 inch in size goes from bottom of rad tank to the bottom hose where it comes out of the oil cooler and a small hose from the water rail to top of rad tank.The hose from the water rail is very heavy duty.It has bullhead fittings and is like fuel grade hose.I have wondered what its for......
