    In my 70+ years I've had the opportunity to work around machine, bicycle, auto, truck, bus and motorcycle.shops. Every one of them had a guy like Teddy. Stickler for details, pragmatic and consistent with each task and there is only one way to perform a task, Teddy's way! We need more workers like Teddy in all of those transportation places I've had the opportunity to work in. Attention to detail saves lives as well as it saves equipment from unnecessary abuse by the drivers or operators.

  • @danmckay2583

    I wouldn't say Teddie is negative..I would classify him more pragmatic than anything. This is a piece of equipment that will need maintenance, and as he pointed out, the zerk fitting on the pintle hitch should have been mounted on the bottom. Having the zerk on top, now it will be extra time and fuss to grease and keep clean (over the life of the truck, that will add up). As he mentioned at the end of the video, he is a professional. A professional wants to operate a vehicle safely and efficiently, and deciding to stay with the Mack makes sense in that he doesn't need to learn all the quirks, blindspots and shortcomings of a new truck. Thank you for sharing his inputs on the truck! As always, great video!

    I can remember my first new truck. It was not my first truck, my first new truck. It cost me right around $30,000. I went to the dealer and ordered it. Whatever I wanted, the salesman made it work. No package deals where in order to get "this," you had to order " that"package that is not compatible with this "other" package. The entire truck, good or bad, was, when it showed up, as you specified. Now trucks are a compromise from start to finish, cost four or five times as much and take a year or better to arrive. We won't even discuss build quality. Robots aren't endowed with pride of workmanship. Ergo there appears to be little to none.

    She's a beauty! Can't wait to see it pinstriped and lettered. We have both the M-drive Mack transmissions and Allison's at work. Being a truck mechanic (in my 22nd year) I prefer the Allison. They are near bulletproof. I've worked for fleets in both the garbage and snow plowing industry and they are rarely in the shop. The M-drives are getting clutches by 100,000km. We lost one last fall at the base I work at. I've also seen the M-drives have issues not finding neutral and needing to be towed. My cousin went through this with one of his twin steers a couple weeks ago. Love the channel, look forward to seeing your new rig. 😎👍

    You had to mention the washer. Couldn't even think on your feet and say. "" Maybe it was laying on the road and got kicked up by a tire"". Nooooo. You know Teddy! Lol! He's a old school pessimistic trucker! We had a fleet of mostly KW's. Curtis, AKA Moose ended up in our spare CH when his truck was getting worked on. Yup, fell in love. "" Mack's a mans truck ""-"" Doesn’t have little baby pedals like a KW ""! They were all day cabs. These Mack's have waaaay more room"! Yeah, Curtis wasn't called Moose for nothing! I think the 800 is nice. But I get it. That Mack had 600,000 miles. Another friend fought not to hand in his truck for a new one because he was close to turning over a million miles on the one he had. Gave the maintenance supervisor fits! Rick wouldn't go on vacation because he was afraid of coming back to a brand new truck. I get it. You understand it. Teddy, I hope you live to 101 and take that Mack well past the million mile mark. As much as he likes and wants new stuff? I'm pretty sure Anthony gets it too. If he's anything like his father. Peace, grease, God bless you all and safe travels.

    Mike, make sure those three clamps on each stack shield are tight. The ones on my passenger stack weren't tight from factory, either that or the dealership loosened when putting on the tips. They don't ship with the tips on.
    Either way my pass shield walked around till it was just kissing the paint. I didn't notice it for a day or two and it rubbed a good witness mark into the paint the whole length of the shield edge. 😢
    Dealership said they'd repaint, but you know how that goes.
    Gotta run it to make money, so that got put on the back burner. It's now almost two years later. 😅

    You can make the seat glide back and forth easier by making an adjustment. Grab a 5/16 wrench and flip up the seat cushion and loosen the 2 bolts on the seat track on the right side of the base and then you can make the track wider. Then tighten them up when you are satisfied with the adjustment. This will reduce the friction between the roller bearings and the frame and make it way easier to go back and forth.

    The Alison automatic takes a week or two to adapt to the driver it learns the drivers driving habits. You have multiple drivers…… For me it was a love hate relationship with the 6spd automatic. Would I buy one……. I’m on the fence. The wanting to take off on you that never goes away you have to get use to it. The T800 I couldn’t drive the truck with a visor that hangs that low. I’m more practicality than look. The T800 being a ditch sniffer they do have terrible visibility. Hard to see where the passenger side front corner is even the drivers side the external air breathers block your visibility. Teddy will be in his Mack till he retires.

    Teddy is right. The automated manual transmission like the Mack's Mdrive. Its a manual, there's a clutch, multiple ratios. The Allison's are very limited. Their good for basic dump trucks,not heavy haul applications. As fast as build quality. Not trying to say anything bad about Kenworth. But the T800 is at the last of it run. "build it,and ship it". Every manufacturers quality has taken a back seat after the covid years. Our new little MD6 Mack got towed back to the dealer with only 4000 miles on it. All for a bad ground wire.

    Mike- Teddy is a smart guy. That's a nice looking 800KW but I had a new 800 in 2002 that I drove for 6 years and I hated the 6 speed Allison trans. You can't control it and it's always down shifting, even empty, so the engine is always above 1500 rpm. When it downshifts empty it almost puts you thru the windshield. I beleive the Mack has 10 or 12 speeds which is much smoother and quieter. Are you going to Walcott? P&G&STMs JM
