    As far as OTR trucks I don't see many Macks. But in the DFW area they own the day cab market. Hundreds of them passing every day, especially in the oil field market. Loads of water tankers, flatbeds hauling pipe and well heads etc, and lots more three axle tractors hauling 3 to 6 axle trailers with platforms and derricks. KW & Pete are a distant second, but way behind. But as I said these are not OTR rigs with large condos and such.

    E7-427 = scrap iron....Those things wouldn't pull a wet noodle out of a CATS ###.....Get ready for your out of frame every third oil change.Mack hasn't made a otr truck since (may she rust in peace) the Superliner went on to her reward.Get you a stick to whip that dawg with and talk 550 into staying on the low side of his tranny and you MAY get a chance to see if hes running LEDs or standard lights on his trailer.You'd best look quick tho' "Dude"....Me thinks we got us another D16 here fellas.Pop a top and loosen your typing fingers up.lol...

    BTW get you a Desert Eagle mark xix .50 AE (made by bad ### hebrews) and use that 1911a1 for a trot line weight while you're at it.

    It Seems To Me That You Guys Have A Little Problem. That Problem Being Me. #### I Do Love It When I Can Stir Up Trouble. Against 550's Big Cat My Little 427 Doesn't Have A Chance That Is True So How Come You Fools With The Big Fast Trucks Pass Me 4 Or 5 Or 6 Times A Day And Why Is It That I Always Arrive 1st?????
    The Funny Thing Is That My Old Fleet Truck Alwys Beats You Fassssst Trucks Where Ever I'm Going. What Is It Does Your Truck Have To Take Up The Slack Where You Are Lacking?

    OK............ I feel bad for you because you don't know what a large car is. I will educate you. The difference between a big truck and a large car is-

    A big truck goes as fast as he can, A large car goes as fast as he wants.


    Take Notes: That statement is 100% true. I mentioned NO make or NO model.


    There is no such thing as a M-O-D-E-R-N MACK. They are owned by Volvo. So how ever you cut it, it's a Volvo. They must not have sent you the memo. Now you know!

    LMAO!!!!!


    Mack lover ease up on the caps man, your making all of our eyes hurt....... Fact is i hardly go over 66-67mph anymore, i dont run fast, i stop when i want to, but when the time arrives and i must i do haul arse. I dont do the triple digit thing anymore, i use my power for climbing and fuel millage. Oh yea and a little thing called self satisfaction, when i see my engine perform like it should it just puts a big smile on my face when guys think im empty running them mountains..... If it wasent for that front diff i wouldve gone to antrims diesel dyno day but i dont think i will make it now, some of the guys that go to that thing would make my truck look like a tiny ant with the power they make. But im sure im somewhere between 900-950 wheel hp.

    You know,I was just thinking...I loved me a Georgia peach once upon a time...I may be your daddy,,,,You wouldn't call your dad "bub" now would ya?:biggrin_25518:You'd best listen to me,550, Hound,Highballin and the other Largecar crew so you can get your schoolin' for free instead of getting it out on the road the hard way that involves tears and spending money you ain't got.
