New O/O, Old truck what do I need to keep her in top shape?

Actually, it was a company truck, even jackknifed in a ditch couldn't kill it. I put a lot of miles on that truck, pulling a dump trailer just like that, it never let me down. The components are just so much tougher than other trucks, the saying was, "if you kill a Mack, you shouldn't be in a truck". The truck I drove was a '75 R 686, 300 Poopydyne, and 2 stick 6 speed, probably a bit different than yours, but in the 70s, I did a lot of dump trucks work, and at least 90% were Macks. I hope yours has air ride,,,

 

cool looking brick!

 

Too bad that super dog don’t have an e9 in it.

 

I miss those engines … lol

 

DO NOT under any circumstances, spill it in your bunk storage compartment. Positively abominable to clean up! There’s a reason I know this. Somehow the crummy cap came off, and I-had a world class mess. Does last a long time on a 5th wheel though.
