other dog Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yep, sure did . On 288 in Richmond. But there could be any number of reasons why this Mack was behind a PACCAR wrecker. Somebody could have traded this dump truck for a new Peterbilt dump truck and when it broke down they might've called and said "bring me my old Mack back, this p.o.s. done broke down on me!"...who knows?

Rob Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm quite certain it is part of a distance measuring test. You know, take a brand spankin new Paccar built truck with a wrecker body, hang one of the most superior pieces of human designed machinery ever conceived from it's hook, and try to make it a hundred miles distant. This scenario has been played out time, and time again with the same result. The Mack drags the truck back in for repairs with a chain. Maybe someday those guys will get it right but prolly not in my lifetime. I hope this is in the correct forum. Sure hate to get blamed for something I said when it was posted in the wrong place.

slpwlker Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I didn't see all the Ice Wednesday coming out of West Virginia but I learned something never to take a big truck on Wv 28. that was 22 miles of hell. Road was barley a lane and a half,curves hell anything under 20 mph was so tight I had to go around at 2 mph just to make sure nobody came around it blind and hit me. Put the trailer in a couple of ditches. Made it 150 yards from the end and smacked a damn tree. luckily I got 3 piece pipes and they take a hit like the stock stuff never could. Just dinged the top again. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21918-saw-this-today/#findComment-92793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind curves and no way to keep everything on your side of the road. When I got to Mullens they told me where I delivered "nobody goes that way, you should have went to Beckley and came back down rt.16". NOW you tell me!

slpwlker Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Here we go. Would of had some from Pa, and Wv but my other half missed the Mh on Wv 2 when I slowed down to get the pic. And the run fell through so all the spots I had in mind to get a few pics well thats another story. I have seen these R's sitting there for a long time. there are about 7 there with these 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21918-saw-this-today/#findComment-92881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 See , I thought the Mack was pulling the KW also. Rob's idea make sence also , gotta be one or the other.On another note the KW dealer sure helped me out Friday , my Bulldog wouldnt pass emissions test and the KW shop took it in , 15 minutes later it pass emissions like a 2012 model. They have a old Mack mechanic (a.k.a real truck mechanic) working for them..

41chevy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I've seen that before! PACCAR makes a truck cover that looks like a Mack, so people don't see the Paccar being towed. Kind of like Ferrari transporting their dead cars in an enclosed trailer. Stealth my friends, stealth.

To many close calls and not trying to re arrange my hoodIt's actually a Bison. It's made by a company called S&V Manufacturing in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I think their web site is sandvgrillguards.com. I have a friend that has an Ali-Arc on a CL and the Bison is a lot better built. I have heard the Ali-Arc and Herd will no longer build bumpers for trucks that are no longer in production. Don't know if that's true or not. The deer population around my home has exploded and Superliner parts are getting harder to come by so that's why I bought one.

slpwlker Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Idk I have been in contact with the herd rep by my house and so far all I need to do is cough up the money to order it. but looking at close to 4k. still better then a hood and anything else that may get damaged in a strike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21918-saw-this-today/#findComment-93461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 1990, 613 series, E9, inline pump and injectors spec'd by Steve Trevitz @ Mack Powertrain and work done by Antrim, with a Holset HBT4C turbo. Tranny is a 2180, with 3:87 rears on airride and 24.5 rubber. She pulls about 38-40 lbs of boost and the only thing around hear that will keep up with her is another E9. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21918-saw-this-today/#findComment-93600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
