  1. and you can get eup's that will not fire at cold idle, but work fine once the engine is warmed up, or rpm's are raised. i had one on the 05 427 like that.
  2. who is the young lady trying to smuggle the two cantaloupes??
  3. No idea Joe, never used one, just saw it being used a few times in yards.
  4. i have never seen it on a mixer, but have seen it on dump trucks trucks what that haul a trailer. it is used to position the truck to hook up the trailer.
  5. it sounds like you have a good solid plan for getting it home. i wonder if there is still crud/crap in the fuel tank that is plugging up the in tank pickup? when running, it picks up the crap and plugs the pickup. then when engine off the crud falls off the pickup and restarts the cycle. i would carry a bunch of fresh filters for the ride home if the pickup and inside of the tank looks clean.
  6. he last logged on Feburary this year.
  7. yup, two sister trucks. 1958 B-21's, serial numbers 9 and 10.
  8. back around 87 or 88 one of the large local manufacturers send 10 of their security vehicles to auction. 75 C10 short box step side 4X4 with 250 six and 3 on the tree. no ac, no radio. all but two had under 30,000 miles on them. the two that had aftermarket radios put in still only had under 45,000 miles on them. red, with black bench seat. all 10 sold for $250, and the same person took all ten when the option was offered on first truck sale.
  9. here is the thread. user MorrisMe: he last logged on in Feburary.
  10. all went on the 250 six cylinder.
  11. Yup. Last time I looked the N-50 15's were around $400 each. I think I paid $100 for two tires AND rims.
  12. Back many many years many many moons ago, the station owner I was working at called me on satuday afternoon. a guy pulled in with "an old chevy" that was not running rite and wanted to sell it. Monday morning I went in to find a 66 Chevelle super sport, with 250 six cylinder and 4 speed. I could not get the $50 asking price out of my pocket fast enough!. headers, cam, Mallory dual points distributor, 4 barrel intake and carb later, I had a 12 second race car. That car made me a whole lot of money racing before I finally sold it for $2,000
  13. Adjusting a tie rod usually only moves that wheel. You was toe to be about 1/16 to 1/8 in.
  14. yup. done it a few times when the low boy trailer, or float as you call it over there was not available to haul it back home
  15. a friend of mine, 87 years young, was sitting at a red light in his 89 R model tandem dump. drunk driver running from police came into his lane and hit him head on....WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. drunk was killed. Bill's insurance dropped him instantly..... and refused to pay for damage to his truck... never had a ticket or accident in his life. forced retirement and was dead 6 months later. he kept driving to give himself a reason to get up in the morning.
  16. i love reading that "my engine is ruined from no oil pressure" on the ford diesel truck forums.... then the dipsticks start arguing with you when you tell them it is impossible that could happen because the HPOP that fires the injectors is run by low pressure oil pump. if the engine looses oil pressure the engine will shut off before any damage is done. and they come back with "well my mechanic said"..... to which i reply i am a mechanic... your parts changer tech is trying to rip you off for a $8,000 engine when you only need a 4-500 dollar part.
  17. not really, neither link works now.
  18. I was able to see the picture from the link you posted
  19. 305 was a good engine. the 307 was the not so good engine.
  20. typical politics doubletalk.....
  21. that almost looks like a new york sanitation tractor. ... except all theirs that i have seen or heard of were 3406 cat with allison automatic.
  22. yea, plain jane volvos, freightshakers and internationals are the big thing here too because they are $100,000 cheaper than Macks, Kenworths, and Petes
  23. hey now i am offended by this post!!! it is an insult to the hyena, donkey, bettlejuice, and banjo boy comparing those useless idiots to them.
  24. back in late 88 early 89 when i lived outside Concord NC. off road trucks were Kenworth and Petes, on and over the road trucks were Macks.
  25. i have this on the front door: and have had at least a dozen people selling things knock on the door to apologize for knocking but they just had to ask where i got the sign.
