  1. agreed. you may think you are not getting anywhere. than one day you will be in prime and stand back and think wow, this is really looking good.
  2. JOKER???? why thank you Paul, i think that is the nicest thing you ever called me.
  3. i hated the T800. way too small big big drivers. |and i love the new digital dash in the 2022 T880. you can determine which gauges you want to see and where you want to see them, and blank out the useless ones like rear axle temp. two i would like to have back are pyrometer, and trans temp.
  4. yup, what Joey said. pulled many a shifter on the side of the road, and stuck a BIG screwdriver down in the top of the trans to put the shift gates back in neutral, than stuff shifter back in cause the boss was too cheap to have the trans rebuilt and trucks had a gazillion miles on them.
  5. i see it every day. last friday i had to go 90 miles south on the NJ turnpike. in the rain. i was right lane 55 mph. when it got bad i dropped down to 40 with strobes on. and idiots were still running 75 plus. with 200 foot visibility. why? because they work for nothing getting paid by the load, if they don't speed and drive recklessly, they don't make any money.
  6. Paul, our biggest problem on this side of the world is the smarter then make cars, the stupider the drivers get. we have many many many fatal wrecks because the drivers put the cars on "auto pilot" and than stop paying attention. one noted one a few years ago was a Tesla executive that put his car on auto pilot and then started watching a movie. a tractor trailer made a turn, and the car drove under it killing the occupant.
  7. Expansion chamber to take pulses out of the water stream from the pump.
  8. the 10 speed trans is way better with 3,73 gears, but you will not get the fuel mileage of the 3.31 gears.
  9. it actually is not "full" Paul. it was closed due to complaints of floating debris in waterways, odors feral animals, and a bunch of other complaints. the EPA was heavily involved in the closing too. as for travel distance, waste is now transported to local transfer facilities by truck, where it is sorted and loaded into rail cars to be sent by rail to other states. mostly virginia, ohio, and soon to be going to a new landfill in north western new york.
  10. yup. drunk fell in front of a bus driving down the highway. had to pick up the pieces. another one missed at turn on a 35 mph road........at around 120. when we finally got to the car after digging half the collapse building he ended up in, we thought oh great, we have two bodies in the car because there was a set of feet next to the visible head in the crushed car. nope only the driver....bent in half and lower body twisted 180. or the guy that ran a red light and got t-boned. trying ot calm him telling him he will be alrite.........but wondering why he is not already dead because the lower half of his body is 8 foot away with the other half of the car. i saw enough fatal wrecks in my 8 years on the police force and fire department to last 10 lifetimes.
  11. Paul, the landfill was reclaimed swampland. it has been closed for 22 years now.
  12. it all ended up on site in the landfill Paul. freshkills landfill on Staten Island New York is one of the few landfills that can be seen from outer space. it is around 890 hectares, and ranges in size from 30 to 80 meter tall
  13. a lot of states older than 75 is not title, certificate of ownership and bill of sale only.
  14. i never saw a mack with a "purple people eater" i only mentioned the engines i have personally seen. part of the reason i did not mention Lanova, hall Scott, Hercules, Waukesha, or Chrysler 413 gas engines either.
  15. pictures, or it never happened!!! 😁
  16. After cleaning the core, my 99 went from high fan barely keeping the cab cool to almost freezing me out of it on low
  17. if we are lucky the typhoon, as they are called in the pacific, will blow the plane into never never land and we will never hear of pedo joe or the hoe again.
  18. no cabin air filter. as Joey said, the core is probably dirty. it is trying on your patience, but can be cleaned. and once you have the box open enough to see the core, you will be amazed at how dirty it is and that it even worked at all.
  19. or flip flops that seems like almost everyone is wearing these days!!
  20. either 36 or 38 as registered weight will be fine.
  21. wow. that is a lot of slop in there!!
  22. me thinks you are overpriced by about $20
  23. only the dead ones support him.
  24. pedo joe does not care about america, except for the money he gets selling it to china. as for ukraine, he has to send billions over there to protect his investments.......................and to get his 10% "for the big guy"
  25. for me it takes me back to the first truck i was paid to drive, a B-815.
