  1. i know what you mean rev past 1800 but not pull.
  2. wow with gears like that it's gota pull like it's pissedoff i love short legged trucks.
  3. at what rpm was 70mph? with my 393 and 22.5 my shut down kiks in befor the govenor. at 88 mph i was watching road more than tack
  4. my wife say's thanks guy's for getting me started on politics at 11 pm.
  5. maybe we should all sell our trucks and buy stock in vicatin zanex oxicotten, because its gona take all our tax money to buy theses for dead beats laying on a couch 24/7 and wandering why thier back hurts and they feel depressed.
  6. it's the railroad barons that control the gov. and they allready control fuel prices and the trucking ind. in today's world health care is near the bottom of every body's list. i think it's no more than gorrilla dust.
  7. have you ever noticed the junk rattle traps they run out there,i have not seen anything less than 20 years old, pulling those containers around. it,s like if your from any other state besides ca. they want to tell you what to do.
  8. hey good to see ya deere mack, did you get your fan problem fixed?????? this is just my opiion!!!!!!! i think it will be required to go into the state of ca. thay have allready done this with reffer units,and they say they are going to do the same with trucks. those commy hippy b@$#tards, have no concept that something has to be profitable for it to actually work in a capatol system. i guess it all goes allong with thier hopes of a socialist country, guess they never heard of bonito mussillini, ive heard about him even if i can't spell it.
  9. i have the full lockers and i would be a lot happier with regular mack 40,000 carriers
  10. they are both on 11r 22.5
  11. what I'd really like to know is if it's practical to switch the present computer out with an older model 460 (pre-EGR) then removing the EGR system and use and old style turbo.
  12. no offence to gambi but i couldn't do the yellow i don't really care for the grey one ive got, white is my color.
  13. i was talking about starting a new topic on here im such a posting whore you would probally get more answeres than me
  14. i would really like to see this topic discussed thoroughly. why don't you give it a try and see what you get??????????????????????????????????? maybe the guy who is building the new trucks with older drive trains could shed some light on this?????????
  15. i asked this question(kind of) in your post called another dumb question, this would seem to make more sence than an engine swap, and i would think a heck of a lot cheeper??? i don't know im just guessing???????? that would call for the nobbel piece prize it's been awarded for a lot less!!!!!!!!!!
  16. with a fuller 13 and 373 55mph about 1200 rpm's the mack 13 and 393 55mph about 1300 rpm's
  17. so you are saying the new macks with 342 gears and a 10spd o/d are that big of a pos. the shut down on the pete is 69mph so i couldn't get a run at anything it feels like it needs to be in 9th gear exept when decending a hill. uless you want to feel like you have an engine brake then you have to run in 9th also?????????????? i cant see building a truck that wacked out so i must be driving it wrong?????? 65mph is around 12oo rpm's
  18. yes my rawhide has a mack 13
  19. mine is fine wouldn't change a thing
  20. a friend of mine got an 06 pete. i had never driven one so i took it down the road and back about 20 miles. dont know anything about them but was told it had a 475 cummings and 10spd overdrive i had to wind it like hell to get it in o/d then at first hill it fell on it's face, so rather than saying hey buddy i think your new truck is a piece of crap, i thought i would get on here and see what im doing wrong.
  21. i dont have the build sheet on my truck, i understand it has a slight overdrive, but not like some of the stuff thats out there. i guess i should have made my question more clear. i cant figure how to drive a truck that you have to wind up that tight to get it in overdrive, and at the slightest grade its lugging its guts out??????
  22. i had a 13 spd overdrive with 373 ratio, in the 55mph states it turned 1200 rpm's it lugged to much i now have a 13spd no overdrive and 393 ratio it seems to do a great job at any speed.and it gets better mpg at 70 mph than 60 mph. and pulls like it's pissed off. it would seem if i had overdrive i would need 411 ratio. i see trucks with overdrive and 342 ratio how can this work???????? i know the guy's specing these trucks are smarter than me, but what am i missing????????
