RFCDrum Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The company I work for runs 3 Superliner tri axles. The 1989 has a 350 with a Mack 12 speed ,the 1990 is a V-8 With a Mack 12 speed and the one I drive is a 1991 has a 400 with a 8 speed road ranger. There is a picture of the one I drive in the NY construction truck thread. , The 3 trucks are identical in appearance red with silver bodies . I will get a new set of pictures tomorrow and post . My boss also has 5 other Superliners early 80 s & late 70s that no longer pull dump trailers and are setup for sanding. It's a shame when I first started here the yard was only Mack. Now with the exception of a 2005 Granite and the Superliners all the tractors and tri axles are KW and PetesThe 12 speed is still my favourite trans.

rsb502 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Not trying to come off Cocky, more of a laughing to myself when typing because of a recent event with Staxx wanting to use a RW cab on his RD and realizing it was gonna be A LOT of work to swap that corner. I definitely dont know all things Mack but I learn something new about them every time I check in here. I have worked on some buses in the driveway for sure, and a couple shops, and some gravel parking lots in some yards even(man Im glad I dont mess with buses anymore). I hope I can help some folks with the stuff I do know and if I dont know it ill try to figure it out and help where and when I can, and if I get curious about something Ill post a question, I like the fact that BMT seems to be a positive place for the most part, obviously you cant see sarcasm on the screen so it can be a little tricky at times but hey such is the way of the computer. I was gone from BMT a while , partly not wanting to be reminded of the 84 after I sold it and partly overseas, as far as posting all day goes, this is the only thing keeping me from sleeping on the job some days, LOL! I still dont know if I like a smart phone but it gives me something to do sitting in the middle of nowhere on the side of the tracks waiting on a machine to get done so I can do my thing. Sad to hear about selling the RD though I think if I went back to DUmp trucking and I couldnt find an RW I would probably try to find a nice RD, I like a Granite but the R cab just fits me like an old shoe I guess, if I had a granite, and an RD outside I would probably take the RD 9 times out of 10 but as a friend has said you cant get a driver to stay in an RD when there are newer trucks around.

rsb502 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The only Superliner I managed to get a picture of at Macungie..................................................MarkNice one though! Something about the look of the spokes on those older trucks just makes em look mean.

RFCDrum Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I agree I still like the RD cab even though the knee with the window crank and air conditioner box but still it's cozy. Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, RobHa, I used to take the window crank handles off and put em back on so that they were forward or up with the window down and cracked to the bottom of my vent visors, I got tired of the bruise in the shape of the little knob on the handle in the side of my knee cap!

LOL!Yea we would do that too especially if we were working on the doors. We always seemed to have to keep readjusting the hinges on those. You always wondered why your knees ached a the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E9V8 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 looks like a decent cabFrom what I could see of it, it looked OK - at least on top. It's bee, snake, and poison ivy season now so I stayed in my truck. Where is that! I need that fuel tank!It's in State College. If I get a chance to track down the owner of the property, I'll see what the story is. It might not even be his. Quote TerryJulian, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Been trying to take a photo of this Liner for several years,in Nashville, it just would not stay still for long. Found it about 20 miles north of the city at work while wrecking an old school. It said Modern Day Wrecking on the doors, Nashville, TN. I don't have a clue to what year etc. etc.mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
