    my 05 was pretty much the same truck and it was 29,300 with full 120 gallons of fuel tank

    because like most salesmen, they want you to come in person

    most of those ramps are either spring loaded, or air piston power fold. ahd the spring loaded ramps only require about 30 lbs energy to flip.
  4. tjc transport
    agreed. pushrods are supposed to spin, otherwise they would wear the ends flat. .

    same here rowdy, i don't have any money or brains. well, that is not exactly true. i have just enough money and brains to keep myself out of trouble.
  6. tjc transport
    yes. when you have more money than brains, you can do almost anything you want to.

    since he posted this over two years ago, i am going to say he went and came back.
  8. tjc transport
    yup. cruise off, then hit the set/resume button down one time and count the flashes of the light.

    you must be in kangarooland, cause everything is upside down. oh and to quote me old dad the postmaster, BAH HUMBUG!!
  10. tjc transport
    yea, but so do politicians, lawyers, and bankers.
  11. tjc transport
    nope, everyone would be on welfare

    and my opinion is even if trump is a fat head egotist, he is still the better choice than anything the demoncrats have offered in the past 12 years. and so far is the best choice for 2020.

    so according to the washington post, smugglers are sawing through a wall that does not exist?
  14. tjc transport
    and that will ensure his re election.

    how about both??😂 besides the fact the rig alone was 72k lbs. then add a 90k excavator on top of it. or the D8K with the 13'11" blade, i was always pushing the limits of my permits. the D8 with full fuel tank and blade on had me at around 185k lbs. after the Brockway finally died, i started using a 79 DM 800 with a V8 and 15 speed for the low boy after one of the hinge pins broke and the body went over tweaking the frame.

    no idea. probably though. he retired in 85. but stopped delivery and went behind the desk in 65, except for when he went out on a fire investigation. besides being postmaster he was also a federal arson investigator.

    yup, that is the way it was, deep reduction in first and reverse only. and now that i think of it, you did not split 5th because 4th over and 5th direct was the same so you skipped 5th direct and went from 4th over to 5th over. which would make it 12 gears
  18. tjc transport
    dad was a postmaster Bob, so his job was even worse than a carriers.
  19. tjc transport
    could be, it WAS close to 30 years ago. i guess i may be mistaken and reverse was on the splitter and not the main stick.

    if we had done christmas decorations as a kid, the house would have had bah humbug on it. dad was a mailman for 35 years. we did not see him between thanksgiving and christmas, he left on 4am the day after thanksgiving and did not come back home until after midnight on christmas. he averaged 20 hour days during that time
  21. tjc transport
    that i don't know. i was never under it.
  22. tjc transport
    the main stick, reverse and 5 forward gears. air splitter was low, direct, and overdrive. then the small stick was deep reduction in first and reverse.
  23. tjc transport
    we were discussing older trucks we drove today, and i remembered a late 70's early 80's superliner tractor i ran with a dump trailer back in the late 80's early 90's. it had a V8 and a strange trans in it. 13 speed air shift, but it also had a small about 6 inch tall deep reduction stick between the driver seat and main stick, but much closer to the seat than main stick. low, direct, and overdrive. but 4th and 5th were not reversed like most of the 13 overs from back then. anyone know what trans that may have been?
  24. tjc transport
    i wonder what the other side looked like?
  25. tjc transport
    what is it? i never heard of it before seeing it mentioned here on BMT twice in the past two days..
