Where is everyone #5

That's my empty ticket with 150 out of 200 gallons capacity. I'm only tagged for 54,999lbs to stay under 2290.
Pretty sure I remember you said you've got a 350 mack. I'm guessing you got it tweaked up some..?
I've got a box stock 350 detroit. There was a few 5-6% grades on I10 out in west Texes that forced me to drop one. I was fight'n a 14-20 mph headwind all day though, so that didn't help..

I don't know much about dry van, but that sounds like a good weight. Can't most dry van only scale about ~45k payload.? Your weight sounds more like skateboard empty weight imo..

 

Whoa Whoa Whoa!!! What the heck happend..?
Was it the flat, or the lo-pro Chaparral that went up..?

 

Haha yea the 3.91s on lo pro 22.5 helps tho. Rack opened on the pump, injectors and s475. But if anyone on the radio asks i tell em its a 350 with a 9 speed lol



I'll find the scale ticket. With 43 and change i was 75 or 76

 

load of empty totes back cant find the other heavy ticket

Shes short only 216 wb. Last of the real ones. The 99 set forward axle and unit injectors instead of the p7100. Not even half the truck the 93 is. I hate the mack 18. Were building another .62 RTXOO to bring down the rpms.

 

Mechanical, nice!! That's a nice turbo too. s475 sounds very familiar. I think one of my friends has one on his 5.9 cummins compound setup..

That's funny, I'm a 350 & a 9speed LoL. 4.10 out back on tall 2's. Don't tell me it's a 1993 too..!
JPMack let me on about some fellers in PA I'm going to try & get with some time about some tuning options. Maybe have them do the overhead again. Still sounds a bit off to me..

 

Man, that's a great looking rig!! From here, she looks like just rolled off the line. Don't see alot of Macks anymore with cool paint, & stripes. Ain't nothing wrong with a 216. Other than it being the devil's #. 6x6x6=216 Its probably a great length for running around the Northeast..

 

Not full mech yet. Its a p7100 with electronic gov. Same 12mm p7100 that the 5.9 has. We have a resistor that opens the rack all the way. This guy that builds 2000hp 5.9s ended up passing away before he built our pump. So were in search of a em7 mech p7100. We have the linkages and everything but the pump. 23-26 is where will lock up timing. Only gets 17 deg under full load so shes a bit retarded now

 

I did the prep work the old man did all the painting. Base and clear. Then stevens took out the hood and we had to start all over again. That hood was painted in winter in our unheated garage believe it or not.

They all went to africa or to spanish speaking lands lol.

 

Guess I’ll shut her down till 3am... far ahead of schedule and I’m getting a reset after this delivery anyway... 200 miles to go!

 

the day after Xmas 2 years ago
notice the insulation and torpedo heater and a dirt floor paintbooth lol



My dad loves this kind of stuff. You supply paint & material and he'll give u a fair price and quality work (setting up booth for when we do the 99 the same scheme. Hes slowly getting out of driving.
