i had an 87 F150 stepside come in to the shop once with erratic throttle. 302 with SROD trans. the throttle shaft on the throttle body was so worn out the throttle would bind on full throttle. it also had a massive vacuum leak through the shaft bushings. the guy did not believe me till i showed him. got a throttle body out of a junk yard from a low mile wreck. cost $150 total for diagnosis and repair. it had been to 4 other shops and no one could figure out what was wrong with it.

Biden announces toughest emission rules on trucks

cleaning the air here does no good when pollution comes in from other countries. all we can hope for is that once team stupid is replaced we still have a country to run and the new leaders will undo all the policies of team stupid. -
remove all warning signs and let Mr Darwin give out his awards freely!!!

heated mirrors are nice in fog, or when you drive through different temp and moisture zones. here in New Jersey it is not strange to be driving in sunny cool, than drop into a valley where it is cloudy or foggy and moist. instant no see out of mirrors. they also work real good when someone slashes a bit of water up, the heat dries them out quickly.

once a topic has gone offtrack, the train has left the terminal never to be seen again!!!...🤪

Larry, i found the old flippy fones were 2 or 3G at best. that is why they work so good. the now stupid fones are 4 and 5 g. and the more "G"'s the make them seems the sheitier they are, and yes i know they now offer flippers again. but my new job requires that i keep the stupid fone.
-
it was a few years ago. they did not sell any flip phones at the time. i had to stick with verizon as they were the only cell carrier that had service in some of the areas i worked.
-
i tried explaining to verizon wireless that i work in secure facilities where no cameras or computers are allowed, and their answer was sorry we no longer offer plain phones. only stupid phones (as i call them) i see they now offer a phone only again. guess too many people complained
-
Mom still has her OLD rotary phone. Refuses to get one of them "new fangled contraptions" she is 93 and set in her ways 😁
-
I want my old flipper phone back! No it did not have internet access, but at least it worked any time I made a call. This new one I have to double check auto correct(which can't turn off), and even after double checking it stillchanges words when I hit send. Like in my comment to jo jo. It was SUPPOSED to say are You Insuniating ole blue, not are toy insinuating
-
They did water pump and new exhaust on mine at 63,000 miles under warranty. Didn't cost me a penny
-
are toy trying to insinuate "ol blue" keeps your mechanic skill on top of their game?
-
i have had my "new" phone for close to two years now, and my grand daughter is still trying to teach me how to use it. i can not master the copy paste, or scan no matter how many times she shows me. same with the laptop. people have tried for years to show me how to do a screenshot. still cant do it.
-
onedrive only works if you have it JoJo
-
Same here. I drive a 2018 exploder, but it is still under warranty for another 40k miles or 4 years. The two other cars and 2 of the trucks are over 45 years old, and the other two are diesels.
-
I use carb cleaner or brake cleaner to check for vacuum leaks. Spray round carb base, carb gaskets, and intake and listen for change in idle. Also can't hurt to spray vacuum hoses either

Cummins V903 Celebrates 50 Years in Service
tjc transport replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
so true Bob. the general consensus was it went over to the sandbox as that was rite around the time everything was getting developed over there and they were buying everything they could for top dollar even if they were just parts trucks. -
$225 per hour here in jersey. and if the computer can not tell them what is wrong, they can not fix it.

Cummins V903 Celebrates 50 Years in Service
tjc transport replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
an old timer many many many years ago(around 45) retired and needed something ot do to keep from killing his wife. so he bought an autocar tandem dump.....with a 903 in it backed by a 13 speed trans. dark brown with gold flake paint, and an aluminum body that looked like a mirror. it was garage kept. never went out in the rain, and was washed each night before being backed into the garage. Mr Lang had most of the engine chrome plated too. that truck was a head turned where ever it went. no one ever knew what happened to it after he passed away, and it was never seen again. -
best part was they were claiming outrageous prices for "lost belongings" it was all secondhand junk from the goodwill store. they are "professional renters" (scam artists) that know how to play the game... Ted took video of everything in the house before the excavator crunched it up and loaded it into the bump trailers.
