James, Don't ask unless you want to see something that looks like otherdog's cake after he ate it the following day. Well at least we want smell it. mike

The real way to know for sure is to call the guys at WATTS MACK, and ask for Barry. You can get the phone # from this site. I've never been that far into restoration yet. I would have to look at the R Model and then go look at the B Model then compare apples to see if both are the same. That is what keeps most of us from having to ask these questions. Not trying to be a smart butt. mike

LOL......LOL.....LOL, and Larry I don't think that was MUD being thrown from that bucket. I'll give you three guesses and the first two want count. mike

Hey now.........I resemble that remark........Anyway WELCOME to the Trucking Industry. I'm new here also and still learning but i've forgot what teacher I was assigned to today.......Oh Yea......If you get in Mr. Rob's Slab Of Lab class, he carries a big paddle....and whips all of his students into shape......I'm just warning you he's a sooner. mike

You will probably feel better after you make the two hour drive to the Mack Dealer, unless you know what it is in the first place. By the tests you have done your self and it's not showing up to correct the matter, I would send it in. Just my 2since. Keep us posted. mike

Yea!!!!!Now that makes since. Even I can understand.

OK NOW !!!!!!..........WHO"S BEEN PIKIN ON ROB ???????...........WE DON"T ALLOW THAT NONSENSE HERE......... mike

Can someone tell me why i've been seeing DOUBLES today? I've been seeing two Cement Mixers.....LOL.......Birthdays must have some kind of affect on some people.....I guess they took my advise and finally are using the mixer for mixing drinks.......LOL again........Anyway welcome to the site for old sites and for some sites..... mike

Rob, I keep my weapon under my belt at all times. Cool Hand Luke.........LOL.......no offense daddddddddddy mike ask momma how long can I think about it.

Tom, HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!! ...... 4-5-09..... I figured you might get a special package from IL. being some gourmet of LAB with a chocolate spaniel nuts and the green irish penis bars......He's the best when it comes to gourmet of road kill. .....want call any names don't want to excite anyone from the fan club. Tom the week is not over I would expect anything could happen, so be alert.....LOL mike

James and Herb, LOL.......I believe both of you are right. mike

yea Tom,and now ya know that has been tha story of my life. Used to be a day late and a dollar short. But not anymore with todays prices I guess i'll just go with you guys I have not been in a fight since friday morning.....but man I sure still love to get into one.

Thanks guys for the replys. You guys sure know how to make me laugh. I have been with my mother most of the day hoping to get some things done at my home also. Finally got home at 6:20 p.m. changed oil in my car. The g/f called while I was under the car and I told her that I would not be in a very good mood if I did not get some truck time this evening. So she asked me if I wanted her to come over so I could start the truck and run it some. Since i'm on a hill I like to have someone around incase the truck lost air and have no brakes she can put the chocks behind the tires. So it has been started and driven some today. Crazy thing has happened while running it the air builds up to 110 lbs then goes down to 90 lbs the govenor is cutting in and out almost like it is suppose to. This is the first time this afternoon that this has happened since i've had the truck. I almost forgot at this time I need to go out and release the air out of the system and drain the oil out of the one air tank tonight. Later mike

I have had to start working out again not because I wanted too but, because of a bulging disc in my neck. I had a resent trip to the E/R and the MRI showed up this time...been livin with this for a year now not knowing who was beating me up in the middle of the night. I sleep alone and wonder if the people that used to live here had a key to get in?...... Not trying to make this a long story but........ several years ago in this house about 3:00 a. m. I was dead asleep when I woke from a knock at my door. I thought to myself, who would be at my door at this time of night?.....well I jumped up went down the hall to the kitchen.... looked out the window down at the driveway with no lights on in the house.... and I could make out some guys in my driveway waiting...... the knock came again.....I went into the living room, turned on the porch light.....this man in a black vest was wanting to know if a particular person lived here......I said NO....and I could see his side arm ready for serious business.....I told him who I was and finally asked him who he was to ask me all these questions...... he was a bounty hunter.....he then showed me his badge, said sorry and left........I mean Man things can happen to a person real quick and not know why or how. Totally not prepared Imust be slippin or gettin old......LOL Thanks mike

Ok, I got it loud and clear, now I know what it is, it shows it in the manual. Didn't know it was plastic, just thought it was another piece of metal shaft extention. You would think they would have used a longer comp. shaft with a neoprene gear. I wonder which would have lasted longer? All are getting plenty of lube. mike

I didn't mention my Suzuki Hyabusa yet, thought I would save that for later. I hold the title for best time at The Dragon..... it's a road in North Carolina with 318 curves in 11 miles. Many people know me from that area and the group of 30 riders I ride with on weekends.......Tell her that I have many safety awards and I can come and see her in my Piper Arrow sometime if it's ok with her daddddddddd.......LOL mike

Rob, I would and I will after I figure out what a phonelic is. I ain't never had one of them before. I hope ya don't have to pull a pin and throw it. mike

Your right David, but yaw come by and git me ifin your going to Bristol, cause I want to go to the races. YEE HAW mike

Rob,......................Would like to meet her sometime. I've always needed to meet someone that could help me restore a vehicle. I only have the Mack B right now........ ask her if she likes Harley Davidson FXSTS, it's slamed to the ground and it's red. Let me know ASAP!!!!!!! mike

Rob, Your story reminded me of the last marriage. Got all my toys to the new house and my prize Mustang and Falcon...... no sooner than getting them in the garage. She pitched a @@$%^&^(*(^&%$$........ TO SAY THE LEAST..... It was a NIGHT OF PURE HELL... until I backed all of my toys out of the garage.... end of story. I sold everything that I had since Highschool..... Found out I like my toys best. No woman should come between what you like that kept me at home and out of trouble. Now that i'm not married life is just more suttle and don't have to cater to every moment of someone elses time. mike

Yea, and I bet you and I both need a floor jack to keep it up level with the engine. I'm juggleing with my timing with having a new building for this truck and my other toy's, so I have not taken this out of the truck yet. Trying to get my ducks in a row and get some ideas to what to expect. Each manual that I have on the compressor is just alike, not giving much info. Thanks for your reply!!! mike

Tom, I know someone that would really like to have a shirt just like that one to go with his HAT ya sent him. mike If I knew how to pm you I would like to know about another post of today's topic to discuss.

Tom, Leave it just like it is. You know Rob well enough to know it's just the right size for a stubby guy. He says it's just right for him. mike

When phaseing in the air compressor to the engine, is their a geared tooth that both comp. & engine have to line-up in-order to be phased in ? Or does the comp. piston have to be at TDC or something same as timing an car engine ? The books I have do not go into detail enough for me to know. Any help is appreciated. Thank You! mike

Rob, Ya didn't see me drinkin anything at the Irish Day Truck Festival......LOL mike
