Dear concerned consumer, We regret that you were dissatisfied with your recent purchase of our instruction manual (the product whose operation it describes was free of charge, being as it was produced with materials far less costly than the paper the instructions were printed on). Here at the Company we make every effort to enhance your reading experience by taking certain "poetic licenses" with our instruction brochure and your language. Please see the attached document as an example of our continued efforts to both entertain and edumacate you. yours, rhasler, freelance literarally inclined proofreader A Perfect Example.pdf

So 3P, is this the long awaited "baby 8" chassis? I can't imagine that NAT will let Mack develop it's own medium duty chassis when UD already has one, but you would know more about such things than I.

I think Haldex Midland Part Number K145158 is exactly what you're looking for. Here is a link to the catalog page. http://www.haldex.com/en/North-America/Applications-Products/Product-categories/Brake--Suspension-Systems/Valves/Accessories/Faceplate-for-Valves/K145158

Note to self-make sure to properly redact all internal documents, if Mark and the lawyers he has has on retainer get their hands on them it could mean trouble. rhasler, Junior VP of Document Redaction and Confusing Paper Trails, randyp Book Cooking Services Int.

Morning Randy. I've been watching Mark already. Going over his expense report there were several charges to a restraunt called Hooters. Not sure what that's about what with all the "secretaries" he hired. I also noticed several pieces of furniture missing from the office and there was a white Vision parked out back about the same time. I sure hope he's not moonlighting as a furniture delivery guy or something. More on this as it develops. rhasler, Head of Security and Industrial Espionage Prevention, randyp Enterprises Inc.

Yes. Although the turbo's look the same there are some difference in them. The same goes for the injectors too. They have told me in the past that the truck must have a transmission oil cooler, heavier rear ends, etc. installed mainly to prevent premature failure of those components due to higher horsepower and torque output. Without having the proper turbo and injectors they can't verify how the engine will actually perform.

Makes me wonder where the DOT performed the check. Maybe they intentionally skew the results knowing that the cost of retesting the engine privately, going to court to fight the ticket, and the lost time on the road will cost more than just paying the ticket. A gap that large is kind of suspicious to me

That's one fine looking bovine too.

Possibly from fuel dilution. They are sharp. Did you already pick up the truck?

What cores did you keep? If you kept the cam and lifters you would need to contact camcraft at http://camcraftcams.com and see if they will buy the core. I've never dealt with them, so I'm not sure on their policies. Hopefully they will buy it and help offset your costs. The part number for the cam will be matrix stamped on the nose of the cam, probably just the last four numbers and a letter, most likely it's a 454GC2190C or D

I hope this is big enough Boss Gives the term shithouse a whole new meaning. rhasler, Executive Head of Architectural Missteps, randyp Builders Corporation

I've never seen a fuel shop that rebuilt EUPs, but there probably are some out there that do. The EUP that they installed should be a Mack Reman pump. Make sure they replaced the EUP bolts and programmed the new cal code into the EECU.

The Mack Museum says the Cruiseliner is the only one known to be in existence. The three trucks according to the museum were the cruiseliner, an F model, and one in an R. Apparently one of the trucks was wrecked and one disappeared. Since we know the cruiseliner is in the museum and the R model was spotted briefly we should be able to safely assume that the F model was wrecked. There is a possibility that the R model is still out there somewhere.

Keep those ideas coming Bollweevil and I bet randyp promotes you to Head of Strategic Planning and Logistics for randyp Innovative Transportation Services

If we found a use for the tarballs and oil scum BP would be paying us I'm pretty sure. Maybe we could market the tarballs as children's toys, kind of like silly putty. It could be called "randyp's Miracle Gelatinous Earth Ooze". rhasler, Head of Research and Design for randyp Industries

I don't know for sure where this truck is located or who it belongs to but they sure have a load of logs on it.

Morning Randy. If you need some jugs to package the finished "environmentally generated" lubricant I'd get ahold of Rowdy Rebel. If I remember right he had a whole pickup truck full of them that he got from Tractor Supply. rhasler, Director of Marketing for randyp Advanced Lubrication Systems Corp. LLC

I noticed the same thing and had the same instinct. I think the original part number is 27RU1353AP2

I ran across this picture in the random images gallery a few days ago, but I didn't pay aattention to whose picture it was. I modified it slightly and set it up as the desktop background on my work computer. Looks real nice. After I saw your pictures I thought it might have been the "Killer B" (nice choice of names) but I don't see it in your gallery, is it yours.

Man randy, that is one fine thermodyne! Looks like new tires on the rear? I especially like the way your gloves match the colors of the truck.

I would check the charge air cooler hoses for holes or improperly clamped hoses, the exhaust manifold and turbo for exhaust leakage, and the elbow fitting on the intake manifold for looseness at the v-band clamp joint. Check for signs of exhaust leakage around the turbo mounting flange and manifold. Both parts are prone to cracking.

Without getting close it's hard to tell but it looks about the same as it did when it was sold. I'm kind of suprised the glass in the windshield is still intact. Here are a few pictures of a Dodge around the way from me. Pretty decent looking truck from the outside, not sure what the interior looks like. First time I saw it (from behind and at a pretty good distance) I thought it was a B.

After seeing northwoodsrepair's post and Mark's pictures of the AB I though about this truck and thought you guys might like seeing it. While I was walking my dogs to the park this morning I snapped some pictures of it. At one point it belonged to our shop and was used as a picnic table during open houses. I believe it was a running truck until someone decided to "restore" it by tearing the engine apart and creating an unrecognizable jumble of parts. It was later sold to a man named Chip, who, as far as I know, still owns it. I remember this truck from when I was a wee lad but can't recall for sure when it was built. I want to say 1929 but I could be wrong. Hope you enjoy!

I don't know if that will work or not, being as I'm less funnny than I am funny looking. If you insist I suppose "Self Deprecating Humorist at Large" does have a certain ring to it.

Good call bigen. I take for granted the noise the Centrimax makes when it's spinning down. That shouldn't have anything to do with the powerloss, but maybe it's one more thing to cross off of his list of possibilities.
