  1. thanks speed i don't know what it is but i saw one at western co. mack and it was love at first sight. i have allways liked 48 to 50 gm's but the ed has me woooing
  2. i was wandering if you guy's can help me with links and any information on ed's thanks in advance
  3. i am looking for an ed maybe you guy's can help?
  4. i have allways been a grease fanatic i have a power luber like at a truck garage 30 gal. barrel and i use it at least every 5000 miles, till clean grease comes out and then wipe it off, had them greese every thing before i left va.truck center, wasn't satisfied (didnt do it my self) so i greased entire truck before this trip and checked for leaks. its a pet piev i could probably save some mony if i let someone else greese it,then i wouldn't be under there nit picking everything.
  5. this truck had a power steering hose leaking, one of the long ones that goes from the firewall to the pump and steering box. both of these hoses weree replaced. could this make a difference if they were hooked to the reservoir backwards? is there and in and out on the reservoir?
  6. hauled a load 79,000 to mcpherson,ks. 500 miles. load of salt back 79,800 from lyons,ks.540 miles. have not fueled yet, but i do know she likes it! the only problem is the steering is starting to bind up intermiten,felt it a couple times on the way out,but became more frequint on the way back, checked fluid,over full, belt seems tite and in good condition, noticed steer axle spring showing a slight leak of some sort, wet spot under steering box. had to drop off load today about 10 miles from home,scared me a little a couple of times, getting bad enough i have to fix it. it did it maybe 15 times there and back today, now it is even doing it empty. anything a dummy can check before i take it to the mack store???? thanks in advance.
  7. its like a pretty woman that is hooked on crack and sleeps with all your buddies.

  9. i have never seen cam brakes that would do that!
  10. wish i had pictures they where so cool, when i was in my twenty's it would make for a very long day in my 40's
  11. i drove a three live axle dm it was a red bird concrete truck that bill revel put a dump bed on 20 ft. shot rock box 37,000 empty and clean. he built 3 of them, 237,18 speed quadroplex, my sholder hurts still aafter 20 years. it had wedge brakes it would slide every wheel with 40 ton on it,gvw around 120,000. they where great. but the machanics there did not know how to work on the wedge brakes,or didn't want to spend the time, so in a short time, hauling that kind of loads, they didn't last long. if you went from 4th to 3rd in the main box to hard, they would break the input shaft on the front axle. between that and the wedge brakes they where parted out.
  12. i think i will call a paintless dent remover, see what they say.
  13. if i could find the rite oldtimer they could do it with a rose bud,plunger,dry ice.
  14. new tank is $1,150 plus labor
  15. got the new straps for my drivers side fuel tank, i would like to get the big dent out somewhat,it's low so if i could get it out a little bit would look alot better
  16. i think i would like my ch better if it had the lower horse power engine, it's all about the reliability
  17. maybe the 380/410 is a more reliable engine
  18. not enough water for all them pony,s
  19. gerryb didnt have any problems with his last week and he put 3,000 miles on it, havn't heard from him this week, hope i didn't jinx him.
  20. this is just some hillbilly engineering, i'v noticed there is not as much trouble with ch modles and even less in engines other than 460, the vision is the worst, i think the biggest problem is the radiator is to small and the hood is to close to engine,no room for heat to get away, just an opinion.
  21. mine has not give me any problems in 2 weeks. i think you guys helped me figure out the cure for mine. thanks again.
  22. mackpro68 do you think im pretty close on that estamate,out of warranty? i think it would be pretty easy to spend $15,000 in 400,000 miles?
  23. i would say on the conservitive side, it cost $3,000 dollars per 100,000 miles just to cover the emission and cooling system,on an egr motor.
  24. you know there bad when a dealer is willing to donate an 04 for testing
