  1. Welcome! Look around and have some fun.
  2. Truck was originally built as an ENDT 865 325 hp Maxidyne.
  3. Welcome!
  4. Looks Great! Nice roll back wrecker body on it too.
  5. Yellow Bullet has a fine wimmins dept which the gf says to stay out of.... I enjoy this site for history of the Mack brand, pictures, tech help, what's new stories, truck adventures and even trying to figure out modern trucks with their electrical issue by reading various post. Thanks goodness there are some folks here that CAN figure out the modern stuff. As with many groups, clubs or events, it is the people that make the difference. The very best cast of characters visit here!
  6. Can't find the info page, memory says that the pinion angle should be zero on both axles for camelback suspension. The transverse rod can be shimmed after taking some measurements with the truck at ride height so it doesn't dog. Keep in mind this will be approximate if the truck is in rubber.
  7. "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." -- Thomas Jefferson Unfortunate for us, that government does not heed these words and shame on the voters for not understanding the implications. Thanks for sharing.
  8. Another couple of names. I have never had plastic chrome plated so no advice as to who does a good job. Several shops claim to restore existing chrome parts with new. http://www.paulschrome.com/index.php/we-chrome-plastic http://www.mmmetalizing.com/ http://www.chrometechusa.com/ http://www.cybershieldinc.com/chrome-plating-plastic/
  9. Can't help with the Chevy stuff but with the price of fuel, I can understand the mpg aspect. The plug in computer tuners are probably the best bang for the buck. Fords maybe as welcome as Deetroits but I was pretty happy after buying a new 2011 F250 Super Duty 4X4 6.2 ltr.gas 385 hp and it got 18 mpg hwy in stock form.
  10. Geeeesh! No pressure there!
  11. Hope you feel better soon! Keep you hands washed so you don't give your computer a virus.
  12. Looks like a good one! Parts of 91 do resemble a roller coaster.
  13. You probably will have to get to a boneyard where their is a donor parts truck so you can get the intake manifold, plumbing, elbows, air to air, etc. Mack isn't going to have all of the pieces at this point and with Volvo's help, you may not be able to afford them. After 7-10 years, parts start being dropped by the manufacturer. Lots can be done with used parts and then look to the aftermarket for your plumbing and elbows to complete the job.
  14. A stars and bars flag would be a nice touch as well.
  15. Welcome! Post some pictures of your Mack when you can.
  16. Hmmmm...... after fixing the paint on the tank and maybe the rear fender and buying a new rear tire, it would have been cheaper to rent a room.
  17. Sorry, change them to electric if I can. My Macks are all electric and the Brockway is air. It works well which is good because it is buried under the dash.
  18. Where the hell is my Pepto Bismol...?
  19. BIG uns at 65,000 lbs. in the B80 series. Then another spot says 60,000 for SWD 59 in B60SX series....?

    WHY?

    I am glad this quality "reality" tv has the forethought to place cameras in all the right spots to record all the f.... ups. It is almost like the know something bad is going to happen......hmmmm. Does U Ship really think this program actually enhances their image to prospective shipping customers?
  21. Spend your money on making it dependable with good quality parts. Don't worry about walking away from anyone because they are going to be jealous of you being in a reliable Mack Superliner getting the job done on a daily basis.
  22. I'll be a wise ass and say "til it's Full". Don't know exactly but I think it is around 12-13 gals. or so.
  23. I believe there is an ENDLT 673 which was 205 hp also.
