I was cleaning out my service truck and found these lovly jewels.. this is the new ''Old School'' https://photos.app.goo.gl/6PLFsP22rSkSwdvC8

I love the pictures of the older trucks... I have to laugh at myself.. I am a smart A$$ at work and so-on, when it comes to Real Trucks.. I say, ''Hell I don't know how to operate and automatic truck''... no-one gets it.. anyway, yesterday I proved myself right... I had to move a 2022 T680 yesterday only about 30 feet, we were unloading the trailer, and the driver was in the bathroom taking a hippie shower.. so I jumped the seat,,,, It took me 2 solid minutes to figure out how to put in in gear... I was lost..... I had never seen a shifter on a wand on the steering column outside of heavy equiptment.. Yep,, I don't know how to drive automatic truck's... I did find it myself though.... I want to drive a DM now... Dammit !!!

After a hand full of clutch jobs in DM's, the first thing I do is take the right door off. And the last models made, if you had to pull the rear valve cover, and it has Jacobs engine brakes, you had to remove the right cab mount and jack the cab up to get the valve cover off.

Awesome work by you and the crew !!!!! Can you post that picture of it in the ditch, and a pic or 2 of the repair process, then the finished product? kind of a before - during- and after thingy..

O.D? got any pictures of some nice looking 'Seat Covers'??? I think the Winfall Wal-Mart has some..

Why,??? your just gonna hurt it. What transmission and rear end ratio??

Cornpop's current campainge ad is a joke,, and it sounds to me like Robert Di' Nero is happy to do the voice over for the B.S. ad... What a waste...

Well, it goes to show me that what I was told by an old timer 20+ years ago wasnt quite right.. Too funny, I cant tell you how many guys I told that the DM was offset for visibilty while backing up, because of the trucks application.. Never even gave a thought to engine position... Thanks for the info.. Jojo

I might just steel his idea,,, I like it,, I also have about 50' of DOT tape in the shop...

Im on a site for IH's called Binder Planet..

Are the engine computers in both trucks the same? If so, swap them. I wonder if there is a programming issue?

My guess he is from Mexico and doesnt know how to post well in english.. now about the truck... Mech ?? it's 2019... need I say any more??

Amen Hippy.. there was several times the top blew out in the baghouse.. I didnt have to clean up or repair those issues, but it sure did suck when the cement dust or fly ash floated into my shop, that was less than 50' from the silo's .. what a damn mess.. at one point the company had to pay for paint repair on a close by bussiness, because the dust was so bad.. BTW,,, It wasn't my wife that blew the top off that time

Bob, you sure have some work to do there.. is it easier with the hood on the truck? just curious.

let me guess.... its deleted?

I have been reading Vlad's posting's on his trip to Iran.. He is amazing.. What got me was that he made sure he had proper permission to bring his motorcycle into Iran.. Obviuosly Iran has very tight security at the border... But our Klan allows migrants to come here freely and tell us what they want, and at times demand it as if its their 'Right'... Vlad respects the laws as he enters another country.. anyway, Pres. Obama has led his puppet to destroy us.. and its working..

I'm Dizzy,,,

yep,, I am pretty blessed. She's a good woman.. and she can kick my A$$..

I am So sorry... I dont have a clue, on how to help you...

I told you....

Mech,,, you dont know how bad I wish we were neighbors. I would love to Learn from You and l would Love to teach you what I know.. With Great Respect... Jojo

Mech, it 'IS' a Jacobs, series 690.. It is a new breed after the E-7 680 series.. I cant compare it to Macks Dynatards.. just not that smart...

Remember The DEAD..

My wife did that same job for a local precast pipe co. Here in town for 5 years.. she drove a Columbia though, 14 L DD, Eaton 10 spd.. 3 bay hopper.. i got a kick out of how she could adjust the valves to keep product flowing, with out a clog or just stir it up in the trailer...

Thats what we do here.. keep on keepin on... Take time to give credit to the guy that solved it.. it looks good to new comers..
