Buickwrench Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hi all. Marty DiMichele from Ohio. Proud owner of a 1987 RW713 Superliner. AKA the Beast!. 4500 original mile, this truck is a 35 ton wrecker unit originally ownedby the US government. It lived in a missile silow in sunny california. Excellent condition with the exception of a weak aged compressor. May need some info on rebuild vs. replacement. No leaks as far as i can hear, just has no volume and builds slowly. I will peruse the other topics and post. Thanks! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28716-new-member-from-ohio/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFormula Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Superliner. 4500 miles and a Wrecker? How does it get any better?The rule of the site, if you don't have pictures it never happened / you don't own it so post pictures ASAP so we don't call Shenanigans. Welcome to the site. Many great people here and a few whack jobs.

Green Dash Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Welcome!I guess I'll have to be the first to ask:What part of Ohio are you from?Do you any any pictures of your Superliner? Most members on here are not interested in pictures, but a few of us are. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28716-new-member-from-ohio/#findComment-149849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Welcome!I guess I'll have to be the first to ask:What part of Ohio are you from?I believe you are the third person to ask "where in OH"?P.S. I wish one of the requirements for registration is to list where you are from. No location = no registration (i.e. no posting).

57 bcr Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Welcome! Like Freightrain says unloader(or even the governor) could be sticky.Common (& minor) problem in trucks that sit a while.

farmer52 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 He has not posted pics either. Like someone said...if you can't see it or touch it, it isn't real! 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28716-new-member-from-ohio/#findComment-149885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buickwrench Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Ok,ok... First, thanks for the warm welcome! Pics are coming when I get in to work tomorrow morning. I'm sure someone can tell me how and where to post them. Next, I am in Columbia Station Ohio, in the snowless Cleveland area (in the towing business) so I have time to show the Beast some love. Couple small leaks to address and the above mentioned air issue. It's a hugely powerful truck with one of the best transmissions I have ever driven. 12speed took a little getting used to, but I caught on quickly.

Green Dash Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I used to deliver to the 84 Lumber in Columbia Station. It was always cold and windy in that yard, even in August.

Buickwrench Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) For all you non-believers... It's very real.now please help me with my brake problem... Drove my Pete today and towed a loaded dump. Missing Big Mack terribly going up a grade! What else can you guys tell me about Big Mack. Need a VIN? He lived in sunny SoCal in an earlier life. More than likely a nuke hauler. The NRC wheel lift was added after. It weighs in just shy of 53000# Check out the Australian Mack emblems on the pylon> Edited December 14, 2012 by Buickwrench 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28716-new-member-from-ohio/#findComment-151024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
