Custom flooring
theakerstwo replied to scottwetzel's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
When I was a ever day working mechanic and a truck came in the shop with that hard wood floor in it no one wanted to work on it. One reason that is is if the the trans had to come out of it.I saw a KW in the shop one day with red woor flooring in it and it was not even pretty.The trans need rebuilt and rear of engine resealed.This guy had it screw down to were it would take half a day to get the shifter out.That is what runs the labor cost up in the shops.He could not see why it was not a standard labor cost. -
To look for a shorted circuit under the valve cover unplug the wire to the head and with a jumper wire one end connected to the pos side of the battery and use the other end of the jumper lead to tough the connector going into the head. If there is short inside of the head you will have smoke and the wire will burn into before you can drop it. This is called the smoke test. It you have just a small sparkle then sounds to be ok but if no sparkle then its a open circuit.

Or don't forget mud being inside of the wheels.I have seen some of that and it can be real rough depending on how much is stuck in there. -
Why do you think the IRS and EPA have been receiving so many guns and the bulk of the ammo made in America.The IRS has been taking law inforcement training and have the armored cars to meet you some were to talk about it.Dont under estimate this president and the rest of the white house democrats.They will do any thing to get control all of the time telling us they know what we want better than we do.

At least my conscious are clear cause I did not vote for him any time.

The white house thru the EPA don't like oil or coal and now have closed the last lead smother in the USA.Any thing to break the American way of living.

Well my superliner was not so good until I set a red dot condenser on top of the cab.The problem with the superliner 2 was that the fan did not pull enough air thru the condenser on the front when sitting at idle.There is no positive sealing around the rad or air/air cooler so that should have been designed different.

Trade it for a CH. They have a better heater and A/C

My truck is a dump truck and grease the trunion ever week and all others ever two weeks. The grease is cheaper than the trunion and bushings

a way to check that is pull wires off of coolant level sensor and install jumper wire on the wires to the ecm and that will tell you if the sensor is bad and that is saying your level is above the sensor.If it still dies ten get some one to read your codes.

I had a sound under my hood when I started it one morning before daylight that sound like a siren.I looked down and seen that my alter had stop charging so I shut it off but the sound was still there and now I know its under the hood. I get my light out and raise the hood and out jumped half of a tom cat. The other half was under the belts and they had jumped the pulleys.That old cat crawled off down to the creek before he stopped whining.

I was at best buy wed before last wed and there was a tent set up their.About ever day on the news they interviewed him for some reason and he has been there ever day so I guess he can go home soon.I guess it would be funny if he gets home and some other guy has moved in.

Your right about the jakes.Mine works better if you open both doors and hold them all the way open.

I just installed a mechanical E 7 in my truck and a little timing and fuel work a 400 cummins will work its self hard to stay with this. Cant say about the fuel burn but seems like the 350 E 6 so far.I timed it like it should be at 9 degrees and it was a fuel pig but I have it at 18 degrees now and its all I can do to push the pro to 800.

and I just took off a pair of straights because of the noise. -
They were a partial/flow by/pass and was need on old engines. But newer engines do not need them.But it would help keep the oil cleaner if you used one.Better than that a spinner 2 is better than the luber finer.The newer engines have better filters than older engines.Alot of the mack engines used a filter like the spinner 2 which is call centimax along side of the two full flow filters.These are a centerfuge spinner.

That is a truck driver myth.at least since the early 60 I know mack engines we rated at the flywheel.If you think about it a injection pump id how the HP is set and if the HP was set at the wheels the pump rebuilders would have to set the pumps on the engine when being dnynoed.I have hrard this all of my working days and it started on the road over the CB.
