tjc transport

after reading another article, i had to do some research of my own. look closely at the picture of the "secret service snipers" apparently all the "i was ordered to stand down" stories are bullshnizzle. the snipers are police swat snipers, not SS.

they want to keep EGT below 1200 degrees. under 1100 is much better. with that said, i have seen 1500 a few times in my 02, but only for a second or two. i will not let my 88 7.3IDI go over 1100 degrees. even if the engine has no pipes at all, the manifolds will stay hot enough to heat any air that gets in before it does any damage to the valves. we bought an irrigation pump on the farm back in 72 or 73 with a desoto hemi in it. the exhaust manifolds were rotted out rite above one of the center cylinders on each side. we would put 10 gallons of gas in it and fire it up. then let it run until it ran out of gas. it had an oil pressure switch that turned off the ignition with no oil pressure. so to fire it up you held the ignition bypass until it showed oil pressure, than walk away from it. that pump has run over 50 years like that, and never burned a valve. the guy that bought it still runs it that way

my 88 ran straight pipes for 450,000 miles. the 02 ran straight pipes for close to 260,000 miles. both trucks were rode hard and put away wet every day. no muffler on a diesel actually makes it run better.

someone need to commit mad maxine to a perminant psychiatric care facility

From other kids at his school. And the night of the shooting before the media blackout.

Supposedly the kid was bullied all through school, had no friends, and was an antifa active with 4 or 4 arrests. Also the SS sniper reported the kid on the roof with a gun 3 minutes before shooting started, and was ordered to stand down.. He was fired for dissobeying a direct order for taking the shot after being told to stand down.

Oh,ok. I don't pay attention to pedojoe, do not watch him on TV if th TV is on, and turn off whatever is on if he starts talking.. I dispise politicians.

watcho talkinbout willis?

i sure hope not. if it is, a whole lot of innocent people are going to die at the hands of a few. we should rather hunt down the few paying for all this violence, try and convict them of crimes against humanity, strip them of all belongings and monies and put it into the government coffers, than strip them naked, cover them with honey, and stake them down on top of a fire ant nest.

unfortunately at least one innocent person behind him was killed.

confirmed one person behind him killed and possibly another critical condition. last i saw all news feeds are cut off at site, so everything other that first reports is just speculation. i am thinking the person being carried away was the injured person, not the one killed.

someone tried to kill Trump at the PA rally at around 6 pm. he turned his head just in time for a direct hit miss, but was hit in the right ear according to reports. also, at least one person behind his is reported as being killed. a second video shows a man and woman behind him going down just before Trump goes down. you can hear 5 shots, than 3 more and someone saying shooter is down. a third video shows two PA troopers carrying a body away.

yup, and that was why i used ratchet straps AND an cage or machine bucket to keep flying part from flying and hurting someone.

i only saw one lock ring type rim blow apart. in 78 we had a flat on a firetruck. called a local tire repair shop who sent out their top man. as he was airing up the tire with lock ring facing up after pulling the nail and replacing the tube. i asked him why he was not using the tire cage on the back of the service truck he said "i have been doing tires for 45 years and never had one" he never got to say "blow up" as the ring came off, decapitating him and continued up into the roof of the engine bay. that big hole in the lower roof of station one is still there as a reminder to do things rite, or don't do them at all. luckily it did not go through the floor of the lounge upstairs, because there was a couch directly above it with two people sitting on it. i did many split rims over the years, but always either used a cage with ratchet straps around the tire/rim, or aired with lock ring facing down. ratchet straps around tire/rim, and a machine bucket over the tire/rim.

Bob, JOT has been gone for over a year now. maybe even two years.

not a clown, just a lovable bloke from down under!!!

Federal trucks were sold here in the states through around 1950 or so. Fageol trucks were early made, through the end of the thirtys, then when the company was taken over renamed Peterbilt

ya cant derail a thread that has already switched tracks at least 10 times!!!

then you have pedo joe, who poops his diaper in front of world leaders.

Unless it rains ...or is 100 degrees...or the beer fridge gets restocked...or 😁

center pivoting buses are popular in nu yawk chity too.

that one is easy Bob. we were young and dumb and did not know any better back then.

if you need to ask that question, oh never mind, i dont want to offend you.

when i painted large vehicles i used 8 and 12 foot stepladders with planks between the rungs. worked great because you could easily and fast change height of the standing platform
