Yup, it's only 1/2 the work. You push then wait for the reverb to come back at ya.Rob

Wow!! Nicely spec'd unit there with just the right amount of brightwork to not be overbearing. Looks really nice and wish you the best of luck with it.Rob

Did you tell her to pull the plug and let some of the fat drain out? She is prolly quite attractive 35 pounds lighter. FWD is kinda pissed you give up so easily.Uncle Rob

That was common for that engine. They would run a pump for hours on end trouble free, but they were terrible for on road use. They were also lucky to break five mpg in hiway use also.Rob

Something has to entice foreign countries to "float his boat". I wouldn't be surprised at all.Rob

Girl don't know what she was missing. Be certain to visit the restaraunt she is waiting tables at in 15 years when she is divorced and be sure to ask how her four illigitiment brats are doing.Glad you had a good time. Uncle Rob

Typically both of these switches for the high pressure limit, and the low pressure limit are in series with each other. If one switch is not satisified, the circuit is not complete. Compressor "short cycling" is typically a low charge condition, although high head pressure will certainly cut the system off as a safety precaution. These switches are typically self resetting also which would explain why it keeps trying to run.Usually any switch plumbed into a receiver/dryer is the high pressure limit although most systems mount them very near the compressor itself. Typically the low pressure switch is close to the evaporator discharge line through the firewall. To get the system to run continuously while you charge it, jumper this switch in the low pressure side. This will fool the system and allow it to continue to run including the fan. Look for about 37 psi on the low pressure side when charging while running the engine at 1500rpm. This is a very basic setting dependent on a lot of outside factors but it will be cold there. Rob

I've seen the limiting valves stick in the "limiting" section of the valve and the complaint is always poor brake performance. I believe the default circuit in some of those is "limited". I'd change it as they are not expensive especially when safety is the issue. Ensure your foot valve is working as it should also. If it is not supplying air correctly, the brakes cannot work as designed.Rob

What engine was in it? 478, or 534? Those were known for lack of power and gas consumption. They would run forever and really take a beating.Rob

Prolly best not be doing that right now unless calcium, and milkfat deficient. Rob

The only thing I can ascertain from your post in this thread is you are either a dyke, or foster this type of activity. This is morally wrong and citing your incessant need to "stir the pot" on any website you visit, I am ascertaining you do this for personal attention. No wonder so many extend open armed welcomes for you. Formulate your response carefully as I am at the threshold of banning your participation here. Rob

I agree but was referring to taxing the amount pulled from the ground. He, or they, have nothing to do with supply and demand. If a way can be found to tax it to pay for programs, they will push to have it implemented and done.Rob

Lot of "sling" wreckers around here had the front brakes on a toggle switch to remove their usage when hauling. You couldn't keep the front tires from skidding when loaded. A flip of the switch brought them right back into play when the truck was empty.Rob

Of the few things in life I'm quite serious about; "I'd be lost without her".Rob

A gutter was too small. "Momma" got me my own private "ditch".Rob

Not if "scored" he won't for about a week!!! FWD will let us know as he had "first dibs" on sniffing the fingers!! Rob

It's kinda hard to imagine how hard the brakes on a steer axle work until they do not work. Front brakes are biased for 70% application force as per design. This is for the amount of weight shift the vehicle goes through when brakes are applied. The kinetic energy that is forced forward upon application of braking effort is great.Another testament to this design is to back up fast, and slam the brakes on. The rear brakes seldom will lock, but the fronts easily lock. This of course is from the "unloading" of the steer axle. Rob

Well boy, how'd you do????? Uncle Rob

I understand your plight believe me. If you call any Mack dealer they will give you the part number. I can then cross that OEM number to something you can use in the a/m. Barry's parts dept. is pretty fair on pricing so you may check with him. 888-304-6225 and ask for parts.Internal compensation type valves do not have an external tube from them. External actually sample evaporator core temperature to regulate the flow of refrigerant into the coil, (evaporator). The external type are much more desirable and accurate, but more expensive. Rob

And I thought I was the only one. It's not so lonely any longer.That's why I came up with the saying: "My bag runneth over"....... Rob

I thought it was 32?????Rob

What is the plastic composition? TPO? If so it takes very special precursors to make paint stick to that "oily" plastic.Rob

It's alright as long as your favorite singer is not Peter Enya which would be cause for concern.Rob

Wait till the Obama administration gets into the fray more than they already are. The price will probably be triple the estimates as the current funding sources will be cut off, or seriously curtailed. New revenues will be needed. Look at what they said about gasoline and I roughly quote; "America can stand $4.00 per gallon gasoline". I don't know about most of you folks, but that is too high considering a gallon of gasoline when Obama took office was $1.63 9/10 per gallon in my little corner of paradise; Farmington, Illinois.Rob

That's right. 41 years today. Been a while since we've seen his talent with those blocks displayed. Wonder what kind of "project" he's working up now? Happy B'day. Rob
