I miss having chickens. A buddy of mine gives me eggs. So after every 4 dozen eggs, I buy him a bag of laying pellets, since he wont let me buy the eggs outright.. Fresh eggs are the best.

Testing out new truck ....https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CS8Fev8w8/

Hadn’t thought of that $$$$ I am hoping the airports have got their act together. I’ll be out there, but I have to fly. It’s too far.bob

Think l threw my neck out trying to keep up. .....Hippy

Volume up! .....Hippy

So, Zina decided she wanted to get some chickens. As for me, I'd just as soon get chicken from KFC and eggs from Kroger. But there's a saying, something about "happy wife..." So I've been working on this chicken coop that we got at Tractor Supply. They loaded it with a forklift and It was way too heavy for me to lift, I can only lift 490 lbs. So I had to open the box on the truck and carry it to the jobsite piece by piece. We've made decent progress on it though... I guess. I'll try to finish it tomorrow.

Hell or high water never miss it.

Dan, I purchased a copy of the "Convoy: The Comprehensive Yet Untold Story" book after learning online that it was available. I didn't know that it even existed until the moment I saw it on the 'net. Like most everyone else, I cannot put the book down! Dan? You and Mike Siegel did a wonderful job with the book! I just wish that there was some way I could see the only surviving Mack RSL 700 and the tanker trailer that was used in the "bridge explosion" scene....unfortunately, I'm disabled and a T2 diabetic and just don't get out much unless necessary. Anthony Fox, at one point, promised me I'd get to see it but.....since Dan's got the truck back, that probably won't happen.

I am planning on it, BUT it will depend on fuel prices.

Anyone checked the turbo? They can slowly clog with carbon!

No worries, we have the same type papers here, besides I can't read Cyrillic anyway!

Looks like I should say sorry for a kind of propaganda. Those newspapers I lay on a table were printed by Russian Communist party to a certain election event. They were spread for free and my mom grabbed a stack somewhere to give me for my garage means.

Update on the deal. Since I found no data from Bendix on how to torque conn rod cap bolts I resolved to use the figure I've taken when was getting those bolts loose. The compressor I took them from was NOS and looked like nobody touched its insides after the factory. That time I grabbed my late granddad's torque wrench and checked out the release force. The reading was 200. That old thingy had been calibrated in kg-cm so the figure was equal to 2 kg-m or about 14.5 ft.lb. What I noted the threads of bolts had some yellow color stuff on them which appeared as thread locker. So the reading could be higher than actual torque limit. If I fit a common steel bolt into a steel/iron boss I'd grease the threads. In that case I didn't want grease to not make the point loosier but wanted something for the thread to spin easier. Thought about thread lock but got worried on even higher loose torque increase in a case I ever remove the bolts again. So ended up using silicone gasket maker I use alot over different spots and was very familiar with its properties. So "greased" the threads by sealer and applied torque carefully tracking the increase of the force. Turned out I was easily achieving those 200 digits and maybe a tiny bit more after which further turn of the wrench made to increase to the torque. Which meant alu thread's deformation. Again, I kept very high accuracy so that overtorqueing became 5-10 degrees no more. No worry for the thread's damage I guess. All 4 bolts showed similar scenario after which I closed the bottom cover (a kind of an oil pan) and finished assembly of the cylinder head.

How many BMT`ers are coming this year?,I hope the ridiculous current fuel prices don`t cause a big drop in attendance.

no codes at all, now im only getting like 2 psi . i blocked of the egr and still no change.

Good Afternoon, l have the complete heater and the front cover. If you are still looking. Thank you

I would like to get a v8 superliner in the USA serious inquiries only please

Check to see if the cam shaft is different before you start buying parts..

What does it take to add an engine brake to a 1994 E7 400?

On the lower LHS of the injector pump there are two sets of numbers, guessing when it has been rebuilt it was re stamped then on the governor housing there is this tag and my injector pump looks like this Paul

I think so, but could be wrong The brains trust on here will have the answers But it is pretty standard every time a motor is rebuilt it is bought up to the latest standards and the maximum power settings At least in Australia, this is the case Paul
