I just saw your profile pic, that is aces in my book. I wish I was home, I'd walk out there just to start her up. Doesn't need ether or a jump. Yeah, I did luck out.

The heater on mine is set up correctly, but I never dared to run that tiny fuel pump since it had been sitting so long. If you're looking at it head-on, the heater fuel pump is just inside,the steering fluid reservoir. It is all in the manual.

Absolutely, but could you remind me April 23rd. I'm the chief engineer on a ship and currently in the middle of my hitch. As for being lucky, I think it had a lot to do with running over the Jayne Fonda record. It made the truck 20 years younger.

Luckily I have a 2 year old son. He is VERY impressed. Enough to melt the wife at least.

Hi, I'm sorry I never got to my phone. Ended up helping my dad and then was in a rush to get miles down.. Never even looked at the phone.

She is still waking up now that I've got clean diesel in her. On flats I believe 50-53 is right. I can go faster but don't. That Mack is a beast.

What it's all about

before I left on this adventure, an old Veteran let me in on a tip. Any Vietnam era military truck will run like new if you use it to run over something by Jayne Fona. I just happened to have inherited a vinyl record collection from my mother in-law with a work out program narrated and...

in my 15 years dinkereing with diesels. . . Worst #2 diesel filter I've seen. . . . Ever!

47 mph

There is no quick victory option with this one. I'll need to be a consistent kitchen cleaner/laundryfolder/back rubber for the long haul. She's dug in, so siege tactics.

I appreciate the line. Luckily I'm a glutton for the punishment and have been fairing well. The gesture is not forgotten though. If you ever need a hand around concord NH, I'll do what I can if I'm on land.

It wasn't slipping, just fuel starved after bouncing that old tank atound. Just changed the primary on the road side, and was rolling in no time.

Made it to my dad's house in portland. After keeping it running all day, it took ten minutes to figure out how to shut her down. Today I'm Changing some more fuel filters and making the last 100 mile leg. Come by for a beer if you'd like. 207-807-3687

I'm on the road. Everything is good, except it keeps popping out of 5th gear. Not even when I'm going up a hill. Just does it. Sometimes I have to engage it in 4th to get it to take 5th again. Any suggestions from the M54a1 ninja masters?

Everything looks like the mack, all info is painted over.

this is what we've got so far. Been through a tube of grease and checked all fluids. Seems to be solid. Going to let the batteries charge and see how she cranks.

I'm learning how to post pictures. My adventure begins tomorrow. I'm packing up tonight.

Excellent news. The truck has been in the care of a volunteer fire dept. For several years and is in good condition. It is the Mack Endt engine, and the current caretaker said I would not even need to bring batteries or fuel filters, just fuel since it has summer diesel in it. I will still...
