BAD DOG Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The boss sent me on a road trip up to Toronto yesterday to Richie Bros to put the biggest piece of scrap iron I've ever had the pleasure of driving for the last 3 years. An 09 KW W900L ISX Cummins powered he bought sight in seen off the web from Texas. He and myself wish he had left it there 3 years ago it been a lemon the whole time. We think it was probably in a flood before we got it and he's spent the price of a good used truck every year in it letting everyone try to fix all the electronic problems in it. So we took it to the auction. So hopefully no one we know buys this Lemmon it's a good candidate to send over seas. It was one of the happiest days of my life. To see it gone.

Popular Post BAD DOG Posted July 4, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2014 On my way in to the auction I saw Bobo and his Superliner at work, but didn't have time to get a pic. I saw a nice Superliner pulling a Float but pic isn't good it was raining. And I saw a nice 71 Pete pulling a livestock trailer on my way out of Toronto. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36243-took-a-trip-to-the-auction/#findComment-251642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BAD DOG Posted July 4, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hopefully better times ahead. The boss replaced my KW with a brand new Pinnacle. I'm going to put it to work tomorrow . 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36243-took-a-trip-to-the-auction/#findComment-251644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I see the nice superliner float was at Mayfield and Hwy 50. It parks very close to that area. One day I will go grab a good pic for you.Maybe we could get pics of the new Pinnacle Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36243-took-a-trip-to-the-auction/#findComment-251662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BAD DOG Posted July 4, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yup that's where it was at Mayfield and HWY 50. That Superliner was for sale on Kijiji and a few other places, I believe it has a Cat in it, but it is sharp! I put the new Pinnacle to work today. MP8 505HP doesn't pull like my E9 450 but that's like comparing apples to oranges. It does a good job, very driver friendly easy to see out of and turns on job sites well. Taking it back next week to get the clutch adjusted right clutch brake doesn't work , fuel gauge either and it dropped to 100km while I had it set at 105km on the cruise and I couldn't get it to run over 100km one of our other pinnacles did the same thing just a few minor bugs but overall I like the truck. 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36243-took-a-trip-to-the-auction/#findComment-251748 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bbigrig Posted July 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2014 The SuperDog float is owned by Condor float service. Phil Condello owns it. He branched off from the family dump truck business in Woodbridge near Toronto. The Condello's own a beautiful fleet of Mack's that have included B models, R,RD,DM and now Granite. I have pictures of their trucks and need to post them some day. They have a DM they painted the 2V 350 Red and chromed the snot out of everything on the motor. Huge Mack Guys up until the early 2000's. The dumps are still all Mack. Phil bought that RW back in the late 90's and it was originally E9 powered. They had to many head and head gasket issues with the E9 and repowered it with a 3406B 425. He also owns some Petes. They keep their trucks spotless.That Pinnacle will do the job it was intended to do. Nice truck!Glad to see another Paccar owner has gotten schooled on Mack function over Paccar fashion. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36243-took-a-trip-to-the-auction/#findComment-251805 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD DOG Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 I tried a little experiment on the new truck today. I went over all the aluminum with Busch Polish and tried their wax sealer on everything to see if it will stay shiny hauling gravel without being married to it. The steers have Dura Brights but the drives are just polished Alcoas. All of the Mack's we've bought in the last couple years have been like that. I don't know why they didn't come with Dura Brights all the way around it would make life easier. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36243-took-a-trip-to-the-auction/#findComment-251896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Busch's is great stuff Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36243-took-a-trip-to-the-auction/#findComment-251905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Durabrites on the rear and and running alot gravel roads don't work well,that might be why. The gravel dust and small rocks rolling around in the wheel ruins the finish. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36243-took-a-trip-to-the-auction/#findComment-251917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbigrig Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Remember when hauling tri-axle loads with an E6-350-4V did the job??? Now we do it with 505's!!! Are we going backwards or forwards with specs these days? 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36243-took-a-trip-to-the-auction/#findComment-251943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
