other dog

uh...well, just never mind then, if you don't want to turn the truck upside down...that's the only ideer I could come up with.

Yeah!

about time you were posting more scantilly clad babes in your posts again, i've missed them!

I always liked "the perfect specimen" joke. Back before little Johnny's parents were steam rollered, little Johnny and little Debby were outside playing one day. Little Debby said "Johnny, what's a penis?" Little Johnny said "I don't know, i'll go ask my mom" Little Johnny runs inside and says "ma, what's a penis?" Ma says "well, it's...uh...-go ask your dad, he can tell you better than I can" So he goes and finds Dad- "Dad, what's a penis?" Dad says "well son, it's- wait, I can show you better than I can tell you". So pop pulls it out and said "now THIS is a penis- and I must say, it's a perfect specimen of one too!" Little Johnny said "OK Pop" and runs back outside. Little Debby said "well, did you find out what a penis is?" Little Johnny said " yeah, but I can show you better than I can tell you" So he pulls it out and shows it to little Debby and said "now this is a penis- and if it was about 2 inches shorter it would be a perfect specimen of one too"

I was delivering in Romulus Michigan, then went to Detroit to load lumber. I was listening to Howard Stern on the radio, and he stayed on the air long after his show was supposed to be over that day. It just all seemed unreal until I stopped in Bedford, Va. the next morning and bought a USA Today and saw the pictures on the front page.

Here's a nice B-model Barry- not mine, but my picture. It's the one in Fairplain, W.V. They let me look at it and take pictures of it. My best mixer pictures are similar to the one used before, but I can go clean it up and pose it in front of a Peterbilt or something. It has new cab lights and a new fuel filter on it.

I remember a guy from Roanoke that had one hauling chips from Dillwyn, Va. to Westvaco in Covington around '79 or '80. Had a 220 Cummins in it. It wasn't this one, his was green, otherwise they looked about the same. http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/keith_cantone.htm

I was driving down I-79 in West Virginia the other day, minding my own binness as usual, when I too heard what sounded like a tremendous explosion come from under the hood. I knew right away what it was though- the air to hose had blown again. Pulled over to fix it, I always carry a spare and clamps, but the hose was OK, one of the clamps had broken and the hose blew off. I put it back on and put a new clamp on it and continued on with no further difficulties. Speaking of batteries, I got my secondary filter on the mixer today, had to go get one fuel line made. "Found" enough fittings at the shop to hook everything up, then when I tried to start it it wouldn't start. I jumped it off the pickup and it fired right up. I probably just need new batteries too, because these batteries have been in it since I had it, and they've been run down too many times. They were so dead one time they wouldn't light up a test light but the trickle charger brought them back to life. That was when I put the battery disconnect switches on it.

I don't remember the year the last one was made, but I do remember reading in my Mack book that they made a few after production officially ended. You could still order one for a while after the F-model came out.

it was confusing with no pictures, word bubbles, and lines but I think if I go with the second picture it'll be right. You're talking about this most rearward port right, not the other most rearward port.

so my last picture would be correct, correct?

how's this? I think i've got it.

why didn't I pay more attention, or at least take a picture, when I bypassed the filter in the first place?

the line from my tank goes right into the primary filter inlet. the outlet line from the primary is the the one shown on the bottom there. so, what should I do next? I can take that line off at the bottom, run it into the inlet, then run an outlet line into the front port. then what do I do with the transfer pump where the line goes now?

So sorry to disappoint you both. See my fuel filter post to see just how little I know.

Theres a big billboard on the West Virginia turnpike near Beckley that says "Obama's No Job Zone" and it pictures Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky,Ohio, and Pa. All coal producing states.

some do work a little slower than others, but i'd still guess it's just the newness in your case. it'll probably get better all the time as it gets broken in.

the story so far- I bypassed the secondary fuel filter because the canister was leaking. Bought a new base to install a spin on fuel filter. I was going to just run the one filter and leave the other on bypassed, but the new base didn't have double inlet/outlet fittings like the old one did, and they were backward from what I needed. The lines are too short to just criss-cross so I decided to keep that filter as a primary, and mount the new base on the passenger side. I took the old canister and bracket off and drilled some holes to mount the new base on it. Now, the problem is I can't remember what lines went where when I bypassed it. This line goes right there, but that line comes out of there and goes back into there...huh? If Itake that line loose from the pump that comes from the primary filter and connect it to the "in" port on the new filter, does the out line go back into the same place? Why did I run that line from the lower rear of the pump back into the front of the pump? I'm gonna need another fuel line somewhere don't I? I don't remember having an extra line when I bypassed it, I did have to go get some fittings though. Well, I hope everybody else is as confused as I am now.

they are pretty high strung. I saw a similar incident once where a driver was giving was giving the Swift driver a hard time on the cb radio. After the Swift driver got parked he jumped out of his truck with a razor, fully intending to cut the other driver. Fortunately no one was hurt because he couldn't find anywhere to plug it in.

I drove an International H.H.Moore had for one trip and it just didn't seem to shift right at first. It had a 9 speed in it, and I never bothered to look at the shift pattern on the dash sticker because I already knew everything. Then I happened to glance at it by accident, and what do you know- this transmission was altogether different than any 9 speed i'd ever driven, it had 4 in the low side and 5 in the high side, exactly opposite of all the 9 speeds i'd driven before. Never knew they made such an animal before then. So, even being as smart as i'm is, I still learn something new every now and then.

well, it might be more'n that, i'm guesstimating. I've put over 600,000 on it in 5 years. No record or anything, but not bad either considering how lazy I am,eh?

A cop is on routine patrol one day when he sees 2 Swift trucks pulled over on the shoulder. He stops to see what the problem is. He doesn't see anybody, knocks on both trucks, gets no response. He hears a noise over in the woods and goes to investigate. He finds one driver bent over a log with the other driver standing behind him, 'driving him home'. The cop says "what in tha' hell's going on here?" The Swift driver says "this driver was having a heart attack". Cop says "well that's not what you do if he's having a heart attack, you should give him mouth to mouth rescescitation!"(?) Swift driver says "I did- how do you think all this got started?"

crap...how boring...you should have gotten out of the corn field and onto the highway and opened it up, tested that splitter! You'll probably have to run it a while before it shifts really smooth, it's all stiff now because it's new. After a while it'll prolly shift like a Peterbilt with 735,000 miles on it...of course then you'll be wanting a Peterbilt...the story never ends...

True Ed, sorry to hear of his passing but glad he left you the R-model.

Old one...very old-why does Roadway paint the fenders blue? ...so the drivers know which end goes under the trailer. my favorite- why did the big R driver leave his wife? ...because he came home and found her sitting on a Trash Can, eating a Cornflake, with a P.I.E. in each hand.
