    i never saw one do that much damage. but i have seen close calls. that is why i never use "death wheels" cutting torch, or plasma cutter the past 17 years since i ran out of oxygen and never refilled the bottle.

    120 lbs, or 50 lbs. makes no difference. it is all in the amount of power applied.

    same here. the new t880 kenworth with 565 hp cummins and allison trans is almost impossible to get stuck or wheel hop, because put it in gear and go just enough throttle to move. the 2005 t800 with C15 cat and 8ll trans would get stuck every time the driver would go near sand. then i would have to spend 10 minutes getting it unstuck. he had a heavy foot and could not comprehend light on the throttle and feather the clutch. he would dump the clutch at 1/4 throttle and then floor it.

    295/75R22.5 seems like would be about the closest metric tire. that is a low profile tire though, and is about 1 inch smaller. 297/75R22.5 is 39.93 diameter, 11.61 width, 125.42 circumference, 8.71 sidewall height, and 505.2 revolutions per mile.

    #1: pusher axle MUST BE UP before going any way near sand of loose material. #2: the more power, the more hop. use 2nd gear, NO THROTTLE, and feather the clutch. #3: steering wheel straight!!!

    i am sure everyone will be going over that truck with a fine tooth comb, looking for nuts not pointing the proper direction, or on the "wrong side" of the frame. 😁

    Barry, is there a way to block IP address? i just banned another pakistani spammer.
  9. tjc transport
    me thinks it was part of the spammer issue.

    Now that I think I got it figure out, it does seem easier to use. It will just take time. As did the last change a few years ago.

    it is a danger because 90% of these illegals are criminals. and we have a problem with it because they are coming here the criminal way. come legally like most people do, and you will be welcomed with open arms. sneak in illegally and you will be deported back where you belong.

    not just this forum. in general it is a problem with all forums. one post wonders come asking questions, get help and never come back to say if it fixed it or not.

    try to find a GOOD chiropractor. the tingling/loss of feeling is the signs of a pinched nerve in the neck. a good one can do wonders for you. mine took 3 months to straighten me out. i now only go to see him once a month unless i am hurting.

    are you looking for rebuttal, or confirmation? cause i think you are on the rite track. but i am usually called a conspiracy theorist too.
  19. tjc transport
    you are a conspiracy theorist. those electric vehicles recharge the batteries with unicorn farts and fairy dandruff
  20. tjc transport
    yup.. when the battery goes dead, toss it in the trash and break out a new one. 😁

    i would pressure wash the engine anyway before you do anything to it. you need to pull the valve covers to check the rack and injectors for free movement anyway, so washing should be the first step automatically.

    mack technician could not play with others in a civil way, and was part of the dozen or so other users that were given vacations and never returned.

    or are now crippled from working 50 + years and no longer can do the work. i have 2 plow trucks outside that are down. the 04F350 starter died, and the 02 F250 needs trans lines. i can probably get down to get the parts out to replace them, but my hips and knees are so bad i can not get back up.
  24. tjc transport
    that is one of them newfangled front and rear anti collision damage air bag bodies. 😲

    i still have my 78 F250 4X4 i bought in 1980, and the 79 F350 4X4 i bought in 81. the 78 has a 400/C6, the 79 is 351M/C6. my best ever buy was a 57 ford 2 door wagon with 312, 3 speed on the floor, and a factory installed McCullagh supercharger. bought it in 82 for $50 running on 7 cylinders. changed the one bent exhaust pushrod and sold it for $1,200 less than 3 months later after realizing it would only get me dead, or in jail.
