Popular Post jdfordhd Posted November 16, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thought a few more pics of my Superliner would be fitting for my 25th year of owning this truck..! First pic is the first load for it before I painted the yellow on it. Second pic is the first load after applying the yellow. I did the masking and shot the yellow myself. Used Acme poly paint with hardener and it still shines today like I just shot it..!!! 12 Quote "If it ain't got a motor, I ain't interested.!!"

Popular Post jdfordhd Posted November 16, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2014 Couple more from last week. Sometimes the going gets a little too rough for the Superdog and I have to take the 6X6 to "git'r done"..!! Second pic is the staging area. The 5 ton M818 is used to tow cell phone site equipment shelters up some very steep terrain here in TN. 8 Quote "If it ain't got a motor, I ain't interested.!!"

Solution Popular Post jdfordhd Posted November 17, 2014 Author Solution Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2014 you forgot to mention you added the flotation tires, great look!You're right about the steer tires. Also the aluminum headache rack. I added those in January of this year as a "birthday" present to my Superdog..!! I have the rubber fender flare material for the front, but I just have a problem with drilling holes in the otherwise perfect front end with the factory original Mack Metallic Black paint..!!! A keen eye would also catch the half fenders installed this year. They are the third set of rear fenders. Leaving the GN support down on a detach takes it toll on full fenders.! 5 Quote "If it ain't got a motor, I ain't interested.!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felicello122 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 all i would do is change the air cleaner tops to stainless and straps, or all stainless cleaners, i dont think i would add the fender flares the fenders look better with out them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I will scan the invoice and post it. Seems like out the door was $84,000.The new Pinnacle I drive didn't cost much more than that. Then again, it's a plastic, ECM, EGR, DPF POS that was 1 of 135 on that order. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdfordhd Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Here is the original invoice for my Superliner. Since I bought it in KY, I had to pay the sales tax in my home state of TN. The sales tax was $3900 so the total I paid was $82500.00. I finally got it paid off the other day.!!! LOL..!! 1 Quote "If it ain't got a motor, I ain't interested.!!"

jdfordhd Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Check this out..!! Mack actually rendered the Certificate of Origin stating it was a 6 cylinder truck. It is an E9-500..!! I had never noticed that before. Quote "If it ain't got a motor, I ain't interested.!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdfordhd Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm gonna' wear ya'll out with this stuff, so bear with me.! I bought an extended warranty for $330.00. The only time needed was to replace a leaking water pump when it had 47K miles on it. Check out the ticket for the repair. "Was making a gasket for the housing it broke"..!! The mechanic was probably using gasket paper and a ball peen hammer and got a little too rough with it..!! Also,I was thinking if I could have gotten a waiver on the 5 year time limit, it would still be under warranty..!! It only has 147K on it after 25 years..!

jdfordhd Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Here is the three page invoice provided to the dealer by Mack. The dealer wrote in all the MSRP amounts. Note that the E9-500 option was $11,800.00. Wow..! Also if anybody notices the cast spoke wheel spec, my truck has the Budds, because I had them change that before I picked it up. About 10 years ago I had to fix a rear axle seal and I discovered that when they changed out the hub/drum assemblies, they put both hubs with left hand studs on the rear axle and both hubs with right hand threads on the front axle. Dealership mechanics, bless 'em, they just don't pay attention..!! Quote "If it ain't got a motor, I ain't interested.!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
