countryboy5487 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks guys. Ya she is turning out to be a good work horse. A few teething problims but bothing major ( had to work on the series parallel switch, lights, a few fuel leaks) but today was a lil over 8 tons and up hill in 4th in the main and 2nd aux. same hill in the transtar wit the 250 cummins 10spd is a 6th gear pull so im happy with her power wise. Only had one time so far ive almost lost it, the top of the hill today levels off then a sharp curve then one last pull thats the steepest and i almost lost it trying to go 4th & 2nd down to 3rd & 4th. Missed 4th but was able to grab 2nd. Needless to say the people behind me were kinda pissed at me going about 16mph Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32869-new-dog-at-home-57-b61-dump/page/4/#findComment-215393 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Now you just need to paint those rims gray. Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32869-new-dog-at-home-57-b61-dump/page/4/#findComment-217709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 looks good, pretty hard to fix that dog without breaking the legs. looks like some idiot backed into it. definitely need to paint the rims. gray rims mean owner operator with pride haha, white rims usually mean fleet truck with not much maintenance haha Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32869-new-dog-at-home-57-b61-dump/page/4/#findComment-217722 Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Looks good. Amazing what a new set of "shoes" does for the ride. X2 on the gray rims.

leversole Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I let that bunghole salesman at the tire place talk me in to buying powder coated refurbished WHITE wheels! THey look like shit and now I found out my truck looks like a poorly maintained fleet truck!!!!!!

Gmerrill0516 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Looks great. I don't mind the white rims but grey is better I guess. Really love the view over the hood of a B model. Brings back memories. It's great to run it and work it. I plan to make mine nice enough to be proud but not too nice that I can't do stuff with it.Love it. Looks great. Wish I could pull mine together that fast!Greg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32869-new-dog-at-home-57-b61-dump/page/4/#findComment-217758 Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy5487 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks guys. Ya thought id like the rims white but i dont so when i repaint my fenders im going to paint my rims the same metallic silver. I got to haul some gravel yesterday and put about 100 miles on her. I was able to balance my phone in my coat and record some of my shifting. Im getting the hang of it and just love to drive the truckEric 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32869-new-dog-at-home-57-b61-dump/page/4/#findComment-217974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
