  5. well hell that L7 doesnt look any differant than a midliner,,,i see what you mean,its a whole differant story..not bad looking at all...thanks for sharing,,,and i also heard the mechanics at work,saying that,,,you see we just started dipping into volvo,,im pissed..we had all kenworth t800,s,and we were all happy with,and the company decited to try the volvo,s.they bought 8.im still in a KW. nobody really likes them.there,they say all the wiring is the same color for one thing...bob
  6. yeeees,i like it,lets see some interior shots..very nice...bob
  7. oh,maybe so,but those new conventionals...oh my god terrible..i was stuck in one at my old job for 5 years i hated it,,if i knew they were going to start buying those,i never would have hired on...but i know alotta guys like em,especially your younger croud..if you can get around the hitious.body style,i still dont think thier very driver freindly..back window too high,log book teeters on the steering wheel,cant reach your lunch box,passenger seat,hard to clean windows,no hand rails,nothing to grab onto,climbing up to clean winshield.too much glass,sun beats you to death,hot days..bob
  8. ya,,know what you mean,,i grew up there,,now when i visit,everthing looks so tight back there..lol bob
  9. it sounds like your guage grounding,try running a wire.from back of guage,and touch it to something steel inside dash..also its hard to get the engines to build up any heat,,without a load...sometimes about 140 is all they will hit..good luck...bob
  10. ya,,man.driven quite a few of those freightliners out here,i actually liked them..out here lets face it,you just have to get used to other makes..like almost nobody buys macks here..bob
  11. i would try watts junk yard,,or run a wanted ad in classified.on this site,,theres allotta parts available for that truck.also new parts,right from dealer still available.good luck.bob
  12. wow!!! rite on,man...thanks.bob

  15. aaaaahhhhhh,,,teeeeeeen!!!!!!probably just a bad photo,generally i like that shade,,i guess a little darker..bob
  16. theres a good reason,we call them cornbinders,lol they belong in the fields...bob
  17. ya,the maxi only locks the drivers,,bob
  18. burgundy,baby,,,red wine,only way to go...oh welcome back by the way,,coming along very nice..you certainly have allot more patience than i do...after talking to you,i took out my dm600 model (parcially assembled) put it on the table,and thats as far as i got..lol good luck...bob
  19. hey welcome aboard,,i saw the sac,and thought i had a new neighbor,,,not to many of us mack fans this way,,hehe..nice pickup,,,have fun...bob
  20. also generally,when it looks like thier going from 2nd to 4th,on the augsilary its an overdrive transmission ,thats the way thier setup thier actually going from lo to direct,then the up position is overdrive,good luck bob
  21. the reason for that,is its the same gear ratio as the gear you were in..such as the ten speed duplex,generally you skip 5th low,and go from 4th hi,to 5th hi..if you try to go from 4th hi,to 5th lo,its like going back to 4th hi,you dont gain anything,,now how confused are you???????lol,hopefully that all made sence,,,good luck...bob
