    OMG, you didn't use a torque wrench to tighten the lugs, those tires are going to fly off!!!
    ROTFLMAO, JK. I just get a kick out of all the young "techs" who think everything has to be done with a torque wrench. My favorite part is when they use their torque wrench on stuff with dirty, rusted, or damaged threads.
    I guess that A-Car has a Kysor Alarm/Shutdown on it? I ran an A-Car with a 318 in it with one pulling an 8 axle combination. Some of those western Pa hills I'd have everything in low with that detroit screaming and only moving at a slow walking pace. That thing would start to get hot and the Kysor alarm would come on, and I'd have to hold the button in until I could get it off the road somewhere to let it cool down

      I know that override is for the oil pressure on this truck I’m not sure if it works with the water temperature or not

      The Mack road tractors steering wheel has cracked as well. It’s a tan color. The DM Mack has a different style wheel and it is fine

    Wish someone would make a definitive full history of this very cool company. They made a panel van that would look right at home in the Fallout 4 video game.

      Not to much and if you have Dayton wheels with the wedges don’t get oil on them, you don’t want those to slip

    I watched a set of duals come off a north bound trailer on I69 just south of Fort Wayne Indiana, duals went through the median across south bound lane and take out a medium size tree. They bounced a good thirty feet in the air coming out of the median… I’ll never forget that praying it wouldn’t hit a car or truck.

      Dangerous going wild at 60 to 80 mph on a highway. No one’s expecting that. Good thing those you saw didn’t hurt anyone.
      I never knew what happened to the ones I saw.

      @@AppalachianRust thats lucky. our rock base is further down so our ruts get pretty bad in the spring. having a marsh nearby doesnt help either. though once the wet seasons over i just grade it with a dozer blade.

      9 speed on the highway. Transmission is an 8LL with a deep reduction so it’s got some low end gears
