    I read a piece on DART a while back and the picture sparked an idea it was one.They made some monster trucks over the years.Are they still in operation as part of Kenworth?? Paul

    Wild guess based on pictures I saw recently...DART...Think they made dump trucks that looked like that....As I said its a wild guess..They were part of Kenworth at some point... Paul

    Are you sure that guy wasnt from Dublin Ireland Geoff??? Amost everything a "Dub" ( thats what theyre called over here) is prefaced with the word "bleeding"... Me bleeding car broke down..me bleeding wife was giving me bleeding ear ache I went the bleeding football......🤣... Paul

    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...

    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.......

    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...... Paul
