    mine was the 57 ford 2 door wagon with the 312 mcculloch supercharger and 3 speed manual with floor shifter i took on trade for work performed back in late the 70"s. i knew i would wreck it sooner or later and sold it to a collector............who still has it

    Engine still running for 5 minutes after key off could be an engine cool off thing.

    my friend is out there. posted video of their 5 acre field under 3 foot of water. the bridge off the land washed away. the stream which is usually 15 foot wide and 1 foot deep is no over 50 wide and 20 deep. also a hail mountain growing on the deck 10 foot wide and 3 foot tall from the hail and sleet falling off the roof down the valley and overflowing the gutters. what land is not under water is covered with 4-5 inches of ice/sleet.

    there is nothing wrong with an auto trans.......if you have an engine in front of it. i have a 600HP engine in my kenworth and have no problems outrunning cars off traffic lights or pulling hills....even at 120,000 lbs.

    try it some day. take a DC motor and reverse the polarity. it will spin the other way. how do you think power window motors work? AC motors will not spin opposite direction if the power leads are reversed.
  7. tjc transport
    yes. DC motors are polarity sensitive. it you wire the negative ground starter up as positive ground, it will spin the opposite direction. to use a negative ground starter in a positive ground vehicle, you would have to convert the vehicle to negative ground.

    mine was from the doctor. she told me either loose AT LEAST 50 pounds and keep it off, or i will not pass my next DOT physical. state says i should be 175. she said she would be happy with me at 250. i would like to drop down to 225 area. i started last week 299. i am currently 288

    yes, the cummins 1710 is a V12
  14. tjc transport
    yes. marine, off road, gensets. actually the cummins 1710 was used in a few on road trucks way back when real trucks ran the road.
  15. tjc transport
    Cummins or Cat

    the B-815 i drove had the sticks cut 4 inches off the floor so you could one hand shift the quad box. the 49 L190 international with a quad box had 12 inch or so sticks. same thing with that, one hand shift.

    my X15's are so quiet i can just barely hear then running with the windows closed. the air compressors on the other hand are noisy bartstards!!!

    when my granite started doing that, we noticed slight wear on the spring tips. and i was getting a strange clunk on acceleration. after taking it apart we found the centering pins in the box rubbers were sheared off, letting the front axle wander about 3/4 inch
  19. tjc transport
    same here. three shifters with knobs 3 inches from the roof are compensating for a small male member in my opinion. and than having to row throw all the gears............when empty.......... is just stupid our lowboy has an 18 speed. and 99% of the time i run it as an 8 speed......... or less.

    where is the 53 LTL??
  22. tjc transport
    Paul, Scania stopped sending trucks to the states for sale was back in 92 because they did want to meet EPA emissions standards person CAN import one, but the cost for shipping and meeting EPA emissions standards make it not worth the cost.

    no worries there Matt!!! i would never do something like that after a build on a troublesome issue like you had. ........ we only did it to each other on silly things. the trans deal with Al was that he was always pulling the trans to tinker with it, even if it worked perfectly. he liked to wire whistler bottle rockets to spark plug wires on my race car in the pits at the track.
  24. tjc transport
    Joey, not only did i do it to my buddy Al on a few of his race cars, i would also do it to the lead mechanic in the body shop after i sold out to my partner. with Al it was extra special because he would not hear it until he was roasting a set of tires off the back of the car while i was sitting in the shop watching, trying not to spill my beer. and i get him every single time. 😁

    my favorite thing to do after trans install was zip ties on the driveshaft.....sometimes with a 1/4 20 nut on the end to hit the floorboards.
