Popular Post Mack58B42 Posted December 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2016 Hope everyone that celebrates Christmas had a good one.... It got fairly warm here (45 deg), so I pulled the rig out of the garage and took it to Christmas dinner. My cousin had his son with him, who's a newly minted diesel mechanic and truck fan, so he was glad to finally see it, and I let him drive it a bit on an out-of-the-way road in town. It put a bit of a strain on my gut to steer it, which may not have been the best idea at this point in my appendectomy recovery, but it was still fun to have it out. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48127-christmas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
6v71 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Good looking rig. Nice day in South central PA too. Got up to 50 this morning and sunny. Felt like spring. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48127-christmas/#findComment-356264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 But think about all the exercise you got steering, double clutching, etc.; that should have worked off a few calories from dinner. Hope that you had a nice Christmas. Get the Mack under cover before Thursday's "noreaster" (at least that's what the TV weathermen and women are saying). bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48127-christmas/#findComment-356269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Looks great. Isn't it fun to take them out for occasions like that? I have a friend who takes his 29 ALF out to Starbucks every week end with his wife. It breaks, he fixes it, but as he says I didn't put all that work into it so it could sit in the garage. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Mack58B42 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 I agree - whenever the weather will allow it, I plan to stay on my schedule of getting it out at least every two weeks. In my experience, letting a truck sit for long periods of time is one of the worst things for it. Got to keep everything moving so it stays lubed/greased/oiled as it should be.... Plus, it's just plain fun to drive around! Looks like for us the Nor'easter will just be a rain event down here on the southern coast of NE. Hope so, 'cause my gut's not ready to lift the plow onto the Jeep yet....
