  1. Been saying this for a long time. Mack is there own worst enemy when it comes to custom stuff. I was told take it or leave it. So I went to Kw and bought the Pete. Spec'd more to what I want.
  2. measure twice cut once. Oh that hurts
  3. If I could ever get this fuel pressure problem fixed would run alot better. Still does the Deal. Although taking this Deere down to Laredo I swear that little 84k machine felt like 90+k Or shitty fuel. Damn thing drug me down on just about every minor hill there was. Not use to going that slow uphill.
  4. Go with the Xze2 Or move to the 275/70 R 22.5 and go with the XZA2 Energy's As long as you keep air in them they wear like iron and got a good load rating. also 18 ply. I can't get some of the guys I run with to under stand why I do not go with the smaller tires. I loose about a 1000 pounds per tire hell either add another axle or load it farther forward. Go scale it only time will tell if your over tire weight
  5. Not bad looking Thanks. But prefer mine though. Like the steerable lift. Mine is getting one here in another week or so
  6. Bootlegging or running outlaw is only a crime if you get caught
  7. you got that right I'd almost be willing to put money on that it use to be Rinker. Remember when they had a few Dmm's and the old Cornbinders with the screamin deamons in them
  8. Just out of curiosity how low are you lugging it before dropping to 2nd out of 3rd. Is it able to pull out of it or just lug till you either get first or finally pull out of it?
  9. Welcome to the jungle
  10. I haven't heard anything latley about this beast, So assuming it is still there. Call Brendan tomorrow and he can point you in the right direction. Thinking he is driving tonight as they are moving some big things through Maryland. 801-718-5809 I'll be out there again sometime next week or soon after. I'll be able to get more pics in the daylight.
  11. I always thought the 988's sounded funny as hell. My how times change. Just to hear a big bore V-8 now a days
  12. I do not know about today as I am not in the dump truck business any more but back in the day they had been a dump truck loading sob. All the pits in and around the area had 988b's 1 or 2 had a 980 and then you started seeing Komatsu's
  13. 63k damn it man. He is out of his mind. Glad I didn't stop to browse I would of probably had heart failure at the price. It is nice looking but I don't need or want it that bad either.
  14. Want to say it almost looks like an Akerman.
  15. I remember a shop my dad use to use the guy had a bunch of F models similiar in the color scheme as the one 2nd from the bottom. I do not remember the year thinking mid to late 80's thinking I was 6 or 7ish. Big man driving one of those F's. Al was so big that one hot day he sat in a chair on dried and cured concrete and all 4 legs sank. This is no shit. I remember my dad saying you know Al what I heard was he was in Jacksonville,Fl and fell asleep coming over one of the bridges. pushed 3 or 4 cars including a street sweeper over the side including himself. forgot how many people died but when they got the truck out it looked like a pretzel what I heard and they found Al in the sleeper. Think he had 3 or 4 F's
  16. If I could get run it here I would snag it. It looked to be in great shape on the drive by. Really wanted to stop and look in. if it is 78k they are out of there mind. Might of been wet but the paint looked like it just came off the show room floor.
  17. Nice looking Iron. and Welcome to the jungle
  18. I agree with this statement. Hell back when I was a company driver if it was road worthy I'd ride. Drove many trucks with no a/c Hell spent most of the summer in this with no a/c. Didn't sleep in it though. I'll tellyou it was hot as hell some days. Even now if the temp is pretty reasonable I open the vents and open the windows. I really enjoy it. Then again I grew up on trucks that didn't have a/c or anything for a/c.
  19. Was rolling in Iowa this afternoon and came upon a Field full of Macks. Seen the super Mutt but for some reason the cam would not under any circumstances work. So no pictures. Blew the horn as we came by. Nice little piece of paradise there.
  20. I'm going with A. B is nice but thinking A is gonna be a better ride
  21. Look for the post of the one in Ks I posted a few days ago. If your gonna sink money into a truck get one already running and in alot better shape
  22. Yeah that is his mistress
  23. I have never seen one of those ugly bastards till today. What is the story on these?
  24. These new ones got a unique sound to them now. Sound like crap
