Some typical shop work, this Series 60 14L came out of a wreck and saw some rpm- bent all the valves. So it will get a new OEM cylinder head, cut and shim counter bores and install OEM pistons/liners. Reseal rear structure and change rear main seal, new air compressor plus new injector harness. Never a dull day in the shop. Truck Shop

Me also, click on BMT and all I get is Ghostly figures saying Hacked in the center of it. Have to go to a sub category to get here Truck Shop

Ran across this mangler on CL, even comes with a four shank ripper. Looks to me like something that would critically injure you or kill you. Truck Shop

Also it looks like a RD 405 International in those photos too. Truck Shop

I have no intention of buying it way out of my league anyway. Truck Shop

Well if money was no object and I was slightly drunk that truck would be setting in my drive way. Truck Shop

My brother spends several months each year touring Asia. He has toured several of the large production facilities and yes they are state-of-the-art. For example on ISX Cummins the exhaust manifolds stamped U.S. were junk the ones stamped China were good. We had several crack that were U.S. no problem with the ones made in China. Truck Shop

KW has been building those models for years, I remember seeing them on lowboys leaving Seattle on I-90 some years back. Truck Shop

You are Correct-right along with several other oldies Truck Shop

Tread light on him, I sent him this direction. Truck Shop

Probably most of you have seen this video but it brings back memories for me. Truck Shop

The man who owned it lived in Yakima, Wa. and he had several different old trucks. He was no spring chicken either, I suspect he passed away because he wouldn't have sold that LT or any of his other trucks just on a whim. Truck Shop

41's $1,200 Autocar RV caused me to dig up this photo I took several years ago. Truck Shop

By removing the axle you have rendered that axle useless. If it quits hopping you know you have a drive unit that has a problem. Side gears? Power divider? Truck Shop

Pull an axle on the back rear drive and switch the interlock in and take it through a figure eight on hard surface. Truck Shop

Here's a video of some Deltic noise turn the volume up It's leaving the station in a hurry. Truck Shop

A discussion came up at work about odd engines and I tried to explain the Deltic and ended up using this cutaway pic which did a much better job. Saw one this last summer loaded on a drop deck headed for port of Seattle. First and only one I've seen. Truck Shop

A little interesting info on the Walla Walla air field. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walla_Walla_Regional_Airport Truck Shop

On the eve of the eclipse Aug 20th I'm setting on my patio later in the evening when I heard the unmistakable pitch of a Rolls V-12. I don't live far from the airport in Walla Walla. I looked up to see a P38 followed shortly after by a P51. I waited a few minutes watching both bank back toward the airport. On the second fly by the 38 picked up a P40 and a F4U, the third fly by was one more a P47 Thunderbolt/Jug. Those planes were on their way to an air show and just stopped for fuel. It was really neat to see five of the greatest fighters ever built all flying at once and hardly anyone in town saw it or probably cared. Because few people look up anymore. Truck Shop

Yes, But I have to laugh at all the concern over the possibility of over tight wheel bearing preload. It's a pretty simple job And one would have to really get carried away setting a hub that tight. It's an area that has been blown way out of proportion. And yes no one wants an accident but the Stemco rep agreed that zero is best. The Conmet and Stemco with the bearing spacer called Pro Torque is not reusable on a wheel seal change because that set up is only good on new bearings and races. If the spacer is reused you put the same sloppy end play back in that wheel end. We throw the spacer away and install the two nut, two locking washer set up that was used for years. That way the hub bearings are zeroed and we have no issues. What really causes bearings to fail is no lube or bad seal. New wheel ends are set up by machines these days and we have found new trailer hubs that have almost zero end play on one side and the other side set as much as .016 end play. Even had a rep from Hendrickson in the shop when we found two on the same trailer with leaking seals and the trailer was two months old. Both set at .014, He didn't have much to say, bad case of lock jaw. Truck Shop

We set them at Zero end play. Especially three axle trailers which is all we have. The factory sets them with end play and usually we start changing out wheel seals within a month from new. The front and rear axles sweep in a turn and if there not zero those will go to leaking in short order. Most of the time we reset them as soon as a new trailer arrives. Truck Shop

With an average of twenty eight guns per house hold and a little over one million people living in Montana I would say at least everyone took a shot at it. What an ugly pile. Truck Shop

One thing about Euclid --------------very basic. Truck Shop
