My phone, home and work computer did it to this site only. Everything else comes up normally.

Now, I should clarify, like this morning here at work. I logged in my system, brought up internet and had to log on BMT. I usually don't have to do that daily. Only on Monday since I clear my computer on Friday night and shut it down. My phone is always on, it's always logged in to BMT. Yesterday and this morning I had to log on again, even with the box checked to stay logged on. Hmmmmm.

Anyone else having issues staying logged in? Even on my phone, even with the box checked "stay logged on", I have to sign in every time I visit BMT? What happened in the last couple days? Is the site going through maintenance or something where it blows everyone off?

I only have the Rustoleum number RLL-257384 I used to paint my 237.

I dumped my Photobucket acct, so I can only load from my smart phone(motorola Droid). If you load too many, you can over run your allotment and won't be able to load more. Linking them from a host site is the better way, but like when PB screws you over and tries to strong arm you into paying $400/yr to host pictures..... you dump your acct and you lose all your photos on ALL your previous posts. Ugh.

Man, I wish I had pictures from back in the 80's. My best friend in school build a very similar truck was two tone blue 78?. Wasn't 1 ton running gear, only 3/4 ton. Stock had 400, but bought a 427 from a friend and put in. Man, did we have fun in that. Headers and thrush cherry bombs with straight 10ft of pipe right out the back. You could hear it coming for miles!!! 4" axle, 3" body lift. I think he had 38's on it mostly. Back then bumper laws were laxed, but in the early 90's they really started cracking down on it. I don't really remember when it finally got rid of it?

Sounds to me like the mother WANTED a daughter, not a son. Thus she is giving him things to make him more like a girl and him not knowing anything accepts it from his mother as normal. Thus it begins..........

Don't worry Paul. I don't think she is getting serious until she calls you a "poopie-face".

This is an oldie but goodie from around me: http://www.thepostnewspapers.com/southern_medina/columns/destination-lodi-a-historical-journey/article_7513f6bb-2d7e-5fca-9921-f98d49655178.html

What motor?

Just how the HELL did we go from talking about OD magazine to political bashing. Geezus people, let's take a break for once. BTW, El Turbo was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the green Peterbilt. Didn't realize the truck didn't always have the BIG stainless bunk on it. Yes, Jerry Howard owns it and takes it to most all shows.

Oh, so now it isn't about race. But when a black person gets shot by a white person what comes out of the other side of your mouth is completely different.

Ya, well let me tell you about "best workers". Sister was HR over the Ford Romeo Engine plant for a number of years before moving away. I heard and saw what kind of workers they are. Too many are useless and just drains on the company. They can't fire them, so they literally have to pay them to sit in the cafeteria all day because they can't be trusted to do their job properly without screwing too many things up. Can't get rid of them(union), so it's better to just pay them to sleep all day. Yup, sounds like better workers to me....

^^Yup, looks like my garage ceiling. Only my pipes are like 6" away from the ceiling so it is really sooty. I get rained on with pellets of soot when I crank mine up.

What's the hose clamp for? Typically there is a threaded sleeve at the bottom(below the hose clamp), knurled so you can grab it with your fingers and unscrew it from the transmission(which should have male threads like a garden hose on it). Then lift the whole thing up. It should look just like the end you removed the cable from. That adapter is just to adjust speedometer reading. Either speeds up or slows it down to match gear ratio/tire size.

Ummm, I'm not sure I want to download and look at those pictures................ At least without getting a fresh bottle of bleach for me eyes. I've made the mistake before and I've learned from my past.

Was that near Jerome? Gold King Ghost mine that was run by Don Robertson? I've had a couple trips to Mexico and try to get pics of the trucks running around down there. Of course I don't have the cat like reflexes of OD, so I usually miss the truck.

Yup, it's to the point I just don't turn on the news, unless it is the weather. There is just NOTHING I need to see/hear about. Jeezus, what freak'n poor losers.

The actual tie rod end is bent? Or the center tube? If the tie rod is bent, I would look at getting a replacement end. Depending on how bent, if you straighten it, there is a possibility of it breaking at some point. I suppose if you warm it up first it could be straightened, but there is the chance it could fracture and break at some later day. Just something to think about.

That is why I was looking at it. Priced right? $1300: https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49895-mack-parts/ It shows two sticks laying on top? But has B on case?

Center pins aren't too big of deal. Just a piece of threaded rod with a large head to align in the axle hole. If you can't get it loose, then cut the nut off and the springs will fall apart. The replacement bolt will be long and you cut off the extra. The front springs should have clamps holding them together. A few years I pulled my left side out because the clamps had blown apart and the leafs were separating. I had the two top leafs remade and put back together and clamps rebuilt. I was really surprised how easy the spring came out of the truck. The rear pin came out with marginal fuss and the front clamp came apart without breaking any bolts. That assembled spring pack is HEAVY!!!!

136 in a truck...........that's get'n with it. My ol 673 would only get to 49 mph in the 1/4 mile.........LOL!!!!

Monday my clock clicks over to 51. Hope to have the farm(figure of speech) paid off in less then 10 yrs so that would leave me free and clear on major debt. Not that I wanna keep working, but I'm playing it by ear. Hope my current job is still around in 10 yrs. This is my 31st year. No pension, so it's all on me and my own retirement set up. Hope it's worth a damn by then?? If those damn Russians don't meddle with it.................
