I recently lost a race to the mail box, to a four year old, and he had to stop twice to pull his pants up. I should not have accepted his challenge, even though I managed a 20 foot head start before he said go. Getting old is certainly not for sissy's. Not withstanding the fact that that I have been sixteen since 1959, I realize that there some things I just should not do anymore. Some things I don't even want to do anymore. Standing and fighting are no more appealing than running, but who could shoot a four year old just for saying yah yah yah. I guess I'll buy him some overall's so nobody can see his ass, and try to hide my truck keys until he can see over the dash. I am glad that work is picking up for you, and that you are able to do some of the things that you like to do, vs what you have to do.

Innovative at the very least. If tunable you would already have a couple of little knobs that could also serve as an ear piece. Possibilities are limitless. Could you just imagine the William Tell Overture in stereo. or WLS in one ear and WWl New Orleans in the other. On the other hand I can see where it could lead to domestic violence. It could not get any worse than having the system shut down during last lap at Daytona.

I put a lot of miles on an 87 Freightliner conventional. It did an excellent job, and in a hurry as well. As for as PROPAGATION is concerned, just as in trucking, there is as much or more of it still going on. Just a younger crowd doing it. The best I can say about that is Dammit.

Dammit Boy I have had the motherboard and power supply out of this mother, and have just got it back together. My taste's still turn toward older Iron, and tried and true southern recipes, with the exception of Rob's Road Kill Cafe. I still check out the site daily. I just haven't seen a lot that I cared to comment on. I will be here if you need me.

I like it. Looks to have enough frame to do anything with. What was it used for in it's prior life?

Don't cut yourself throwing them in the trash. It is not worth taking the chance. You can come up with $22, a lot easier than we can come up with another other dog.

You can ALWAYS tell when a dispatcher is lying to you. You can see their lips moving.

Hear Hear

Instead of shrinking the cab, someone should come up with a viable plan to shrink some drivers to fit these older rigs. Something stupid like "stop eating" doesn't work for me.

If she told you that Mac owners didn't have to put up with such nonsense, she is right. Many of these problems are related to discipline. Don't open pop up's, which I seldom have. Special offers, such as " you are the 1,000,000 customer you have just won a new Toyota", or Email's from unknown sources. I have had other problems, but nothing like a virus on any of my Mac's.

I think that you would handle it similar to the way I did. When I received the good news I had just left Atlanta on a 4 day run to Louisiana. By the time I got home I had bought 8 little dresses. The bad part of it was having to deal with mama, as our daughter was in Alaska. Congratulations are certainly in order.

OR, buy a Mac

That wouldn't be a bad conversion. I'm thinking a Mack JR on your Dodge, with a Cummins would be neat. That's just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions, they are just like chevrolet's, every asshole has got one.

A CB radio is an essential tool in a dump truck, especially on single lane haul roads, or while loading in a quarry. or asphalt plant. Until you have done it, you won't believe the beating that the entire radio rig has to endure. Believe me, there is nothing more irritating than trying to talk to someone 50 ft. in front of you and having someone else a mile away cover up your conservation. Buy good stuff to begin with. If you have to have some help matching your components, do so. I have ran several different converted 10 meter radios, and I like a Connex 3300 HP the best. First of all because, unlike some others, it does not mind riding in a truck. And if guys you normally run with have the same set up, you can flip one switch and be in another world. I like a coil loaded antenna, and use the Wilson 2000 on a mirror mount, mounted close to the cab without a stem. The stingers still get bent up, but they don't break like a fiberglass antenna.

Do you think you could get away with calling it an RV? I once tried calling a dirt car I was building a bass boat, that didn't work.

Output drive ratios would be the big issue. You could be going from about a .73 to a .89 depending on what you now have. Not all clutch housings are compatible, so you would need to do your homework.

Don't feel bad, when I tried to order two black coffee's, in french, I ended up with two catfish on a silver platter. The original caption did say California though. I don't know of any wrecking yards, but if you ever do get out there, I know where the good eating places are. LOL

Yep, to all the above, when it s too rough, you can slow down and ride it out, or speed up an get it over with. A fellow could end up with a permanent kink in his neck, from holding his head sideways to keep it from banging the roof.

Has the Ride Quality deteriorated to an unacceptable level over a period of time, or all at once. Has it been good at any time in the past. A shock absorber functions as a dampener on compression and rebound, nothing more. On a really rough highway nothing rides good. I've owned trucks with two long front springs, three long front springs, and different stacks of front springs. The best ride was a 72 Marmon cabover with 144" WB with a 12 spring pack and no shocks at all.

Don't step down from the soap box before you are ready, In a nutshell it is not us or them, it is We The People. I am sick to death of elected officials pissing on the Constitution at will. It would be a good thing to fire every last one, and start over with term limits as our nations founders envisioned. Our Republic is facing dangerous times right here at home.

With unemployment at almost 10%, Congress nearing a meltdown over a complete health care overhaul that we don't need and can't afford, and don't want, a looming carbon tax program that dwarf's any tax ever thought of, a proposed tax on soda pop because we are too fat, two war's that Congress and the current administration don't have the guts to win. This doesn't seem like the time to worry or care about testing for water on the moon, by bombing it. Fox just announced that the President is in consideration for a Nobel peace prize. WTF.

They still have pistons listed on their on-line catalog, didn't say who made them. 770 822 1000 is their number.
