  1. The accessory drive(lower passenger side), on the top of the casting at the front of the motor will be END673-(and then engine code). Might take a flashlight to actually see it(or clean off the crud). About 3/8" tall stamped letters. Does it have a split intake manifold? or one piece?
  2. Likely meaning it won't give any more fuel/pull after that point. Loosing top end speed because you can't use the last 200+ rpm.
  3. Glad to hear it works good. I just got 7.0 mpg going to York(hills, hills, hills). I got 8.0 going to Milan, Michigan this past weekend. There is a 237 on local craigslist. Motor/trans/rad all for $1500. Just too much of a project right now to throw money at and just have it sit outside til I get around to it. Little things like roof, windows, AC, concrete and siding are taking priority(dangit).
  4. Welcome aboard.
  5. If the morons would be looking FORWARD, they wouldn't run into stuff on the side of the road. Just a couple weeks ago there was a tow truck driver killed on Ohio Turnpike. Truck basically sideswiped him as he worked. As they were cleaning up, news reporter was doing an interview................another dumbass (gawker) rear ended a semi that had slowed down due to emergency lights(you know, that sign that says SLOW DOWN FOR LIGHTS). Like that is something that needs to be repeated to you while you drive??? Really? Maybe they need to have something come up on your phone so you can see it while you are texting and know you need to slow down/move over??? Ugh, don't get me started.
  6. Been back in 2001? Four of us were going to West palm beach for a race. We left Ohio, but ended up below Fancy Gap before we found a place to park for the night(like 2am). By sunset all the rest areas were full and just nothing could be found for four truck/trailers. We just kept going til we ended up at a mall parking lot. Parking on the highway would be bad, but up on top of a ramp is not that much of a deal(at least in my eyes). Better then falling asleep and taking out a bunch of cars? They will just state you need better time management. Ya, okay.
  7. How's that go..........'Rub'ns racin'. Great job.
  8. I'm pretty sure that every state has a statue that denotes that it is illegal to remove or modify any exhaust. It is just if your local Barney gets upset about it or not.
  9. Saw that on the Today show the other morning. Oh well. Like mentioned...if you aren't doing anything to attract attention,,,,,,then you have nothing to worry about. Just yesterday? they caught some kid who had plans to start murdering cops. Seems they have been monitoring his cell/text and caught him before it went all sideways.
  10. Seems quicker today. Like others it was kinda slow moving the past week. We could all use more power!!
  11. So it basically has a typical Maxi brake on it. Nothing out of the ordinary? Seeing it has poor service brakes AND not much parking brake, I would concentrate on slack adjusters and adjustments.
  12. Trent, is that for sale???? I assume there is only a drivers side door? Might make it hard to get to the tool area on the passenger side since it will not be a walk in when installed on my truck. Might be taking a road trip! Can I have the mirror removed in the center and stripper pole installed?????
  13. Upgrade? Something changed?? Oh........okay LOL!! Looks like it is still all here, that's a good thing. Thanks Barry.
  14. I think it was Trent that has issues with his RL700 back when he first bought it.
  15. My '07 Softail Custom.
  16. That is not an air pressure thing, that is a leverage thing. Or lack of.
  17. As most know I tore stuff up getting to York. My bunk is "fixable" but wouldn't minding finding something else and just bolt it on. Just seeing what's out there.
  18. Has it always been bad? What is the angle on the slack adjusters to the pushrod? http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=204-76-99004
  19. Blue baseball hat in the middle back row is Dan Cornett.
  20. Glad to meet up with everyone! The list of names is arm long. I met BMT, JOT and racing people. I have pics but need to get them put into the computer. Too bad the show was such a flop......LOL. Or maybe that was just my bad luck getting there? The trip home was much smoother(well the roads weren't). I checked out my yard job....not really that bad. Just some slide marks in the grass. Minimal trenching! Oh well.
  21. I jackknifed it on slippery road. Was going slow enough didn't hurt anyone else. Lots of grass/dirt stuck in the tires. Bunk and trailer not looking so nice though.
  22. Well Mike.....it's looking worse after my little mishap this afternoon. Ugh.
  23. I'm here. Barely. Truck and trailer a bit rougher looking then when I left home. Ugh.
  24. Well you and Rick Knox will be the easy ones to pick out in the crowd(or photos). Don't want to sound mean...just trying to make light of the situation. Hope you get well soon.
