I replaced this pressure sensor out but the issue still appears from time to time….

A bit like shielas with big boobs, low cut tops and mini skirts Paul

Did you wet the bearings with oil and squirt some in the well inside the hub?

Exactly

@Joey Mack got it done today eneded up backing lock washer off one notch it did line up after the 50 LB FT torque but just seemed a little tight to me. I have thought about what @Geoff Weekssaid for along time. I have always thought a rolling drag test might be better way to set some wheel bearing. it will always be a bit skewed with the wheel seal drag though.

I guess you could say you got the shaft!

years back Dean Foods came east and did a 10 yr lease on Baskin Robbins. rumor had it that was their way of getting quick ICC rights in new england so they could sell their own products,

He grew up about 4 streets away from me where you only saw Mack Autocar and Brockways and he's shown photos of the Autocar his father drove. I guess the shiny stuff drew his attention

Tired, broke man....

And yes we do have garelick here also I think they took over sunny side farms which you have probably never seen

Thanks for that we do have almond breeze here my wife uses it … still puzzled where the hood products are coming from.. after all it is very far to travel from New England

Noticed he was looking at that contoured cab like it was a space Martian and he had never seen one

My god bud…. You da man!!!!!!!!

happy burfday form joisey joseph!!

Correct. Hood I think is the last of the big New England dairy producers. As I said West Lynn sold out to Garelick and Garelick was purchased by Dean Foods. Cumberland Farms is still going strong with C-stores but sold their milk production facilities in Mass, NY and NJ. Garelick produces the CF branded producks. Back to Hood they built a big production facility in Winchester for what are termed long shelf life products such as Lactaid milk which is lactose free. Hood branded products are still key here in Northeast but you are likely to see Lactaid out your way as well as Almond Breeze, Planet Oat , and Heluva Good cheese products. And good news is it is once more a privately held company vs part of some conglomerate.

back in 81-82 i was helping a friend who owned a landscape supply company. his u model tractor had an air start(the truck i was driving when i broke my neck). i got to a nursery to pick up a load of trees just as lunch started. 1/2 hour later the owner came out and told me t fire the truck up, as the guys were 35 minutes into their 30 minute lunch break. i have never seen a bunch of sleeping Mexicans jump so high when i hit the starter! the owner laughed.

More retirement money spent..... 118" of all new steel. Getting an eyeball on making carrier bearing mounting plate. It needs to be a 12" drop from the existing cross member. Time for so more 1/2" plate. More progress up front also Lots of little stuff. I have the cruise control box apart and bought some new throttle cable to extend the reach as the new backwards throttle arm has a Z bar and I need to get to the block side to make a bracket to attach casing so I can hook cable up. Figuring exhaust out. I have new flange and a 45* SS elbow to cut down to make it go down and hook up to my existing flex pipe that attaches to exhaust. I laid out my clutch linkage on CAD this morning at work. I need to get some plate steel and start that project also. I left it at work, I will post a picture of the layout. I need a few new pieces to correct my AC suction line that is in the way of intake tube to turbo. I bought a new piece of 4" exhaust to make new intake tube to air cleaner. Just a straight shot now, old motor needed a zig zag. I also received my new dry element air cleaner today. That will one of the last additions as it is in the way when working on the truck of it is mounted on the cab. The struggle continues......

Hippy ? Uhhh No !! That girl would Kill me... If Terri didnt do it first.. 🍻

Thank you Vlad !!

Happy B-day Joey! Best wishes!!!

Pinion bearings and differential carrier bearing are the only ones I want to see pre-load on. Both are highly loaded when in service, and don't tolerate being too tight or too loose.
