BAD DOG

I thought they were just galvanized. My 92 pipes were kinda dirty so I painted them with a sinister gray spray bomb from the Mack dealer.

I noticed you're in Ont. to Alex. Where in Ont are you at?

They look like cut outs for the stacks, but they're just a couple of trailer door vents to let air in to stop it from sweating in there. The building has a 12' high door so she just fits under the door. It's a Cancover building 20'by30' 16' high with 12' by 12' door. I put that up about 2 years ago to house and work on the old girl. Best $2500 I ever spent, wish I had done it years ago.

Ok maybe I was shaking a bit, I thought it was jut a problem with the lighting that made them look like that. My first time with a new camera, that's my story. LOL.

I've been building it up for play, but the closer I get to finishing it the more I'm getting the itch to put it to work. Been driving for someone else now for almost 6 years now, and I've still never gotten used to it. I still wish I were driving my own truck again. I guess it's just something that when it's in your blood you just can't get rid of it.

For as long as i've been posting on the forum you'd think I'd be able to figure out how to post pics. Well excuse me for my computer illiterance. Hereare some ofthe pics I shot of my Superliner project I took over the weekend. More pics to follow as soon as I find the card they're on.

I have a complete turbo assembly in the archives, needs to be rebuilt probably. Make me an offer. (519)-999-4706 Dan.

My door on my garage is only 12 ft high so I can only use 7ft stacks on mine. My 866 was in my Superliner that I'm in the process of restoring. The truck was a glider done from a 74 F700 driveline. I'm redoing it using the E9 from my 92 MH 15 spd fuller tranny and a suspenion and rears from a 2000 Ch hendrickson air ride and eaton rears 3:90 with hub pilot wheels. My 866 I ran 6 ft 6" pipes mounted on frame mounted brackets behind the cab. There's pics of it with that exhaust in my gallery pics if you want to have a look.

You say 6" is a bit too loud. I've been trying to get my hands on some stainless pipe and elbows in 8" and make myself a pair of custom stacks for my E9. I just have the 5" run to the back of the cab now and haven't had it out on the road to get on it hard yet just to see how loud it is. I had a set of 6" straight pipes on my 866 V8 and it wasn't too bad. and I had a set of cheap mufflers that I cut apart and took all the insides out on my E9 before and it was actually reall quiet. If my guy doesn't get back to me on the stainless pipe I'll pobably see if I can't pick up some 6 " or 7" down at MATS in Louisville in march. I wish I would have bought the 7" from the Riker guy last year I passed on a set of 7" 8' miter cuts last year for $600 on the saturday, I might have got em for less since he didn't want to load them back on his trailer, but I hadn't had my truck running yet at the time. So I left them there.

Yes that's true an E9 won't fit in just any truck frame. That's whyRW's MH's and CL's the frames are wide at the front, just to fit an E9. They won't fit between a set of CH framerails. Another truck I would like in my collection is a 1977 F Model with a 1693 Cat that I've had my eye on for quite a few years. I just need those dam lottery numbers to pay off for me.

That's the video LMFAO everytime I see it.

We have an International H in the corner of our shop the thought of putting a 350 chev or something like that in it has crossed our minds in the past, but the 4 cyl runs too good to take out of her. My brothers friend has an M that he's putting a 454 chevy in. Should be interesting if he ever finishes it.

Any body see the youtbe video of the Superliner with an E9 pulling a 5 bottom Moline plow?

A friend of my dad has a C model ford tandem 3208 Cat and allison automatic and 2 spd rears with a 15 ft aluminum dump box on it. He loves the truck an uses it quite a bit he even pulls a little pony pup behind it sometimes. He likes the automatic in it because he has a bad ankle and driving a stick is a bit too much for it sometimes. He's been having to do a bit of hunting to keep parts for it though. He bought the last set of brake drums in existance a couple years ago. that's the trouble alot of guys have with Ford trucks since they have'nt mad them for quite afew years now.

I agree you can never change oil too much. Oil is cheaper than bearings. I also use Lucas oil stabilizer in everything I own, I swear by it.

My dad had a 3408 Cat in a 1980 Freightliner coe and a couple of E9's one in a 94 CL 600 and one in a 90 Superliner. He put over a million and a half miles on the 3408 haulling 140,000 lb plus loads without putting a wrench on it. It was a really good engine for him. The 94 CL with E9 500 was more nimble than the Cat was and was alot cleaner engine, no oil leaks like the Cat and no smoke out the exhaust like the Cat. I'd still like to have a 3408 in the collection someday. Both trucks I can still remember the similar sound each made I used to be able to tell when dad was coming home you could hear him come off the highway and turn down our road. They both sounded like locomotives.
