  1. not me... i lost it all in the same tragic boating accident where my guns drowned.
  2. nuts and bolts? you must be made of money!!! 😆 we use rocks.
  3. hate to tell you this, but china already owns the United States.
  4. my Granite use dot do that too..... until it snapped a connecting rod in the compressor and punched a two inch hole in the side of the compressor directly opposite the oil tube pumping 4 gallons out of the engine.
  5. i have no connection, just noticed it and figured someone might be interested. no current bid, and auction ends sept 21 https://www.purplewave.com/auction/230921/item/NA9161/Mack-B61_Thermodyne-Engines_and_Motors-Engine-Missouri
  6. unless the gearing was changed, those rigs only had a top speed of around 40 MPH. they were used for hauling VERY HEAVY loads in the landfills themselves, and never saw use on public roads
  7. cant read the name on the door, but that sure does look like John Donkerslut old truck
  8. that would be my first suspect.
  9. good old harbor freight gantry crane. that was best $500 i ever spent........... 20 years ago.
  10. if you sweep it all under the carpet, the new millennials will never admit it ever happened. which is what is happening now. the demonrats plan to have the sheep following their every word as truth is almost complete...
  11. convoy girl was Ali MacGraw.
  12. agreed. to me that is more a parts truck. and priced WAY too high.
  13. unplug the switch and inspect the plug and contacts for corrosion. than with a jumper wire go from center terminal to each side. center should be hot, and the sides should be low and high. this test will check the wiring. but yes, i would replace the switch because that is the weak part of the system. sometimes you need to replace the switch and pigtail too.
  14. ain't that the truth!!!! every day my prediction we are getting closer to the movie "idiocracy" becomes more true.
  15. yup, that is what it said..........three days ago.
  16. i do not have air leaks Bob. when these trucks were brand new they would not hold air. the tandem would loose 10 psi per minute.... the triaxle was only around 5 psi per minute. i refused delivery until ALL air leaks were fixed. they can now sit for 7 days and only loose less than 5 pounds air pressure.
  17. he is 87 Bob. i saw a report on friday sept first showing his obituary... dated 09/05/2023
  18. i do not pay attention to any gauges but the speedometer while driving. i usually don't even look at gauges when stopped. if anything happens the computer will let me know there is an issue with warning buzzers.
  19. Paul, if ya gonna go big, GO BIG. like a E9 600 HP . or maybe a 12V92TT Detroit!
  20. pretty much trying to do away with real gauges, yup. i have two mechanical gauge in the 2022 triaxle, and they are for pusher axle pressure, and brake applied air pressure. the tandem with air ride has three. two are suspension air gauges, the third is brake applied pressure. everything else is digital.
  21. not just you. i have been known to apply for a darwin award or two. or four. did i tell you about the time i was doing something on the passenger side of an E6 300 and slipped, stuffing my right hand straight into the spinning fan, stopping it dead.....and cutting my hand in half 3/4 of the way down to my wrist, two fingers on side three on the other? thank god the engine was cold and the fan clutch worked.
  22. i tell people "i used to be conceited until i found out it was a fault. and i am perfect so i can't be conceited" to which my ex used to say yup, he is a perfect askwhole!!!
  23. well, this is the weekend to spend quality time drinking cold adult beverages with friends....👍
