Cummins Forms Joint Venture with China's JAC Motors
HeavyGunner replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Does your pickup have the 5.0 v8, the r2.8 or the 6.7 or something else? Just curious what is offered on your side of the world. -
1957 Mack LRVSW
HeavyGunner replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
You mean there was a picture of a big truck that you didn’t have?! 😁 -
I posted a pic on here a few years ago of a honey wagon that said “we haul milk on the weekends” on the back.
-
I’m very sorry for your loss Paul. Stay strong.

Just like Paul found on the back forty of his place in Virginia.

1957 Mack LRVSW

What a beast. I always enjoy seeing those heavy haulers. Do you know the specs by chance? -
The portrait on the side of the cab almost looks like Danny Trejo. Where do you enter the sleeper?
-
There’s a five window gmc that looks identical to that one near me. Has a Detroit in it as well.

1984 Mack RD-686

That’s what you get when you build a quality product. It lasts 34 years and still going. -
I hate when old premium brands are brought back but the quality isn’t there. Maybe this truck will prove us wrong but I highly doubt it.
-
All this hubbub makes the long cold ass winters in Montana look more and more appealing if I don’t say so myself. Glad you got things figured out.
-
Well said LMackattack, give the customers choices to sort of customize the tractors to their liking and they buy more of them. On The flipside Mack wants to tell you what you want/need and there’s no choice.
-
I understand what you’re saying but I think if you pare Mack down to just fleet trucks and granites Mack goes away. Give the customer what they want. It seem ridiculous to me that you can get everything we want here in a Mack in Australia.
-
Volvo can’t seem to figure out that a good looking retro truck with big bore power IS what the customers want.
-
If you get your microscope out and look along that fence line from right to left you might be able to spot one of the blue spruce saplings that I planted if you’re lucky.

Belgrade is a nice area. I spend quite a little bit of time down in that area since I have family in three forks.

They do look nice but Id bet its a real bugger chaining up. -
Glacier Park.

I have a couple more pics of my day but I can’t post any more so I’ll finish this post when I can put the rest of pics up
-
Then the dog and I went to the river to see the water gushing out of the auxiliary tunnel and I drowned a few worms since I was already there. Then I saw a goose in a tree
-
Well Friday after work I drove 180 miles to plant 100 spruce trees on 10 acres my wife and I have over there. There was still snow in the park. then I saw a blue bird who appeared to be snickering at me sweating like a pig planting the trees. more snow then I got home Saturday afternoon because planting went way faster than I anticipated and i saw this cinnamon teal.

I know it's my favorite weekly column.
-
Nice to see some nice weather for a change. I'd like to take the car and truck in the foreground in that first pic.
-
Ok, I think lot of our problems are the trucks are poorly specd for the job they're doing along with a fair amount of pto time multiple times a day doesn't help either. Then again dirtymilkman was telling me on this forum he averages nearly 7 mpg in his truck with lots of idle time and averaged something around 30 mph speeds throughout the day.

What kind of mileage are you guys getting with the DD 15's? We average about 4-4.5mpg summer and 3.7-4mpg in the winter. Was never really that impressed with the mileage considering the old 3406E that I used to drive got closer to 6mpg and that was lots of pulling across the freeway in Wyoming where I could do 75 mph.
