JTFormula Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 My wife got reservations at the Holiday Inn Express across from Dorney Park so we can hang later on Friday night instead of driving back home. I missed the Mack museum last year. I am going to make sure we do it this time around. They are running the shuttle both days right? See you all there!

farmer52 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 JT - I was thinking the tours are only on Saturday. Doug or someone else will know for sure.Weather forecast: T-storms (80%) on Thursday, Scattered T-storms on Friday, and Sunny on Saturday. Temps all three (3) days 78-80 degrees (lows 60s). So I am going to wait until Thursday to "409" the MH. I am going to ask for the parking spot I had last year (in the back on high ground).See you all at Macungie.....have a safe trip!Ron - I will try to remember to bring some spider spray.

1958 F.W.D. Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 JT the museum will be open on Friday but the buses only run Saturday. Your hotel is not far from the Museum, which is behind Queen City Airport, at the Lehigh Street exit of I-78. Let me know if you need directions. Preliminary weather reports showing the rest of this week, but especially Friday being a washout in the Lehigh Valley- heavy rains predicted for Friday, however Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be beautiful. That won't take away the quagmire of mud however. So if you are bringing a truck, use caution when parking!!!!

JumperAndSon Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Bad news.... Our brand spanking new, 2014, $60,000+ camping trailer has been at the dealer since we brought it back from the first trip we took it on in March. The factory did one of the absolute worst assembly jobs I have ever seen in my life. It has been three whole months now and they still have not finished fixing it. So we have no camping trailer for the trip. Grrrrrrrrr!! Words cannot describe how angry I am at the manufacturer and the dealer. So we will most likely just come up on Saturday I guess. I have no idea what we will be bringing....Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34231-2014-atca-macungie-show/page/7/#findComment-248917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 It won't be as easy to post a picture of every Mack as it was for the ATHS show. We took 9 trucks up today, only 4 of which are Macks. We'll make a few more runs tomorrow. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and Friday. Should not have waisted my time washing and drying all these trucks.

farmer52 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Mother nature power washed the truck and trailer last night - high winds and 2.1" of rain. Plan to be on the road around 7a. Need to load my personal stuff, check for any "rain/wind" damage, and then boogie south and east. See you after lunch!

Popular Post fxfymn Posted June 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2014 Bad news here; the 2011 Chevy 3500HD I use to tow my trucks crapped out on me this week so I had to cancel my plans to attend the show. I'll really miss seeing all of you.What happened?? When towing a dump trailer I kept getting "trailer disconnected" followed by "trailer connected" messages, which I assumed was a loose wire on the trailer. The next day as I was towing the 52 to Richmond last Saturday the Integrated Trailer Brake Controller (ITBC) started applying the trailer brakes randomly. it finally fully applied the brakes bringing me to stop from 70 mph on I-95. I was able to disable the trailer brakes and limped home.Since this is the third time the ITBC had failed me I replaced it with an after market controller that afternoon. As I was coming home that night the truck started flashing messages that included "check stabilitrack" "back-up alarm disabled" and "check traction control" along with going into limp mode.The dealership says it is the electronic transmission control module (ETCM) and it is on back order. What does this have to do with the ITBC? It seems they share a data line and in all probability the ETCM was applying the trailer brakes through the ITBC as well as supplying the false messages about the trailer disconnecting. If you own a GM product with the ITBC you need to be aware of this. 3 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

1958 F.W.D. Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Carl, would you happen to know if a 2008 Silverado Z71 with the trailer towing package has that feature? I rarely tow trailers and cannot ever remember towing one with brakes so it may be a moot point, but I will keep this in mind.The girls We will miss you at dinner tonight!!!! 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34231-2014-atca-macungie-show/page/7/#findComment-248968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
