More pics, 673 non turbo, duplex trans with a Mack single rear axle. The passenger seat looks brand new, gotta get a drivers seat to match.

Well she's home, 72 model MB, Overnite 11527 I believe its crusty but I think I can clean it up ok.

Well with 180k its barely broken in, Seems a little high though maybe a $40000 truck. I had over 300k on a 2000 rd triaxle in 2003 so if correct the mileage is great.

Well with the corvette he only has to worry about the weight in the passenger seat so no tag axle needed.

Ha, people are freakin nuts. I wouldn't be able to keep from laughing if any of those were parked near me.

Damn you always come out smellin like a rose, got two tires and wheels for the price of the wheels.

Ha, that would be a hell of a potato.

the 445 rating is pretty sweet for a 13 liter engine if you think about it, at 505 it would be a true beast, the 12.7 series 60 detroit 500hp engines were nice but they tore themselves apart if they werent handled properly. Its hard to get that much power and torque out of that kind of displacement after having to add all the emissions crap on top of it all. If you think back it wasnt all that long ago that 500+ hp for a 14 liter was impressive, I remember the N14 525 rating being a haus but I also heard of several flying apart, same for the 550hp 3406E. I just dont think you can get that m uch power density out of an engine keeping it emissions legal. That said, dump all the emissions crap and put a good simple turbo on an MP8 505 and I bet it would be a beast just by losing all the restriction in the intake and exhaust. I know that once you dump your emissions control systems and go with a non emissions freindly program you can make plenty of power from a 12.7 detroit, Cummins or Cat, just call Pittsburgh Power, Edge or Diesel Freak. I have a Diesel Freak adjustable power kit here for a C15 that is said to add 90hp and 250# and they say they have the dyno sheets to back it up, I know folks that run em and they say it is a huge gain so I say screw the EPA and make em smoke, they run better that way.

Well Randy Im going to get the lowboy trailer tomorrow, gonna go get my MB this weekend, I guess I coud put something on there and meet you at the bottom of the Rock in the next week or so. P.S. I have a couple thousand dollar care package coming from Antrim diesel to put on the Superliner, better hurry or Ill have a few more ponies (few like three digits).

Where is Pawels entry into that conteat, I dont see a Superliner?

That AB is ridiculously nice

Larger than the 866, E9 is 998ci, I figure you guys already know but I just love em so much I gotta comment.

Sweet!

Yeah freightrain the 460's are still etechs 728ci. Any of the six cylinders from the introduction of the E7 to the aset engines in 04-07 were 12.8 liters, the MP series has the MP7 10.8L, MP8 13L and MP10 16L.

Damn I wish they had made those Big 6 engines.

Weren't the CL air ride cabs 4 corner air ride? Most trucks have rear air ride but it seems like I remember them being 4 corner and that was why they leaned and wobbled around so much.

72 unless the title says something different, I'll pick it up next weekend and have pics and more info. I guess I could drive it home but I'll go get it with the lowboy so the Superliner gets to stretch her legs a little.

A Ford CL9000 would be a nice one for a collection before they all disappear, its like the Ford MH if you think about it, the LTL was the Ford Superliner.

I only remember seeing a tandem, that single axle looks pretty nasty.

Thanks, yeah I remembered seeing them when that truck was for sale, that's what I've got now let's see if I can get it looking right.

i believe so, non turbo duplex trans.

Hey ray how hard is it to wash off the smell of shame? Lol!

OK folks I need some help here, I'm gonna go pick up my ex Overnite MB later this week and I need pics. I think I'm going to get it painted back in Overnite colors and I only have one pic of an Overnite MB to go by, surely somebody on BMT can help out with some pics to help me out. Purty please with a bulldog on top?

One things for sure, I watched Randy get up to speed and if he was grossing 100k that old Pete Runs good, not E9 good but good! Lol

With direct top gear the math says its 60 rpm.
