shine a flashlight on the dash panel at the little lenses, and you will see where it is, then pull the panel and see if the bulb fell out and is hanging back there... 194 bulb.... jojo

to a truck driver... it's a short ride....

right on ALL accounts... probably a better chat on youre thread.. may get a laugh... jojo

the truck was born as a Scotsdale 20... I bought it 15 years ago.. It was a whole fleetside truck.. I flat bedded it a few years alter, to do the work I do... I bought a '78 1 ton cab n chassis in 2009... removed the cab, went through the brakes and swapped the cab... ran it as an automatic for a few years then bought a pedal set from E-Bay, and put a granny gear 4 spd. in it.. I work it when needed, go to Lowe's, scrap yard, and where ever I need a 1 ton.. I wont ever sell it... It works hard for me when I need it, and it's a conversation piece at times in the parking lot... I did build a hopped-up 400 for it but after 2 years... I pulled it out. it was too much engine for the gearing, and I put the 350 back in.. Now it's 'right'... jojo

Hello 'J'.... I assume you mean China?... Jojo

I understand... I guess, Im just seeing clueless out of touch with reality people, forcing thier agenda down our throats.. it looks like the minority governs the majority.. Like I said, just another one of my silly thoughts.. well, gotta go on a road call now, need to crank my nasty diesel truck jojo

Very good points.. Sounds reasonable...

So now Kamala and the King are going to install 500,000 (using the ,so-called infrastructure money) charging stations for electric cars, across the country in big cities.. So cities that already have parking issues are going to give up parking spaces for your Duracell car? Really?? Hell, here in my town people park in Handicap spots and get out and walk, no placards on the car indicating H.D. So how will they stop non-electric car drivers from parking in the Duracell spot's? just another silly question that I have..jojo

hello 880joe, I think it all mechanical.. like to see the injection pump and less of the rigging.. jojo

Here's Mack standing guard on my work horse.. too funny.. He wont let the other boys near it or me if i'm on a creeper and such..

im gonna move this to youre thread... if i can.. jojo

Onyx.... Bingo!!!

Well all of what you ask and say makes sense.. I literally rely on my skills with ''tool's'' I looked into buying a loaded laptop and Vocomm box 6 years ago. $12,000.00... So instead I bought a 2002 Isuzu NPR, for $8000.00... It is tough out there, but I have been able to find customers that need repairs rather than programming, and some will pay me to install the parts then go to the dealer for programming, or a "Learn data reset"... I will not get rich doing this. I average about $50,000.00/ year with this truck.. and the rest is made in my little shop.. jojo

Volvo has already Killed Mack... But can't Kill guy's like us.. Jojo

Im in my zone with Mack's... But lately I have branched out a bit.. The John Deere's were new to me, I built an Isuzu 4HE1 2 months ago.. What I do is, buy an instant download manual for what I have, and go for it... I buy tools as needed. the Isuzu caused me to buy a rear main seal tool.. and a few other tools... what'cha thinkin? Jojo

Awesome!!! A Yorkie I assume? I had 2 myself. My little girl was a 'Teacup' Pup,,, or 'Purse puppy' as some might say.. and my boy (her real brother) was a 'Meatball' jojo

The green one is a John Deere 3179DF.. It's the second one ive built this year, and I have 2 more to do.. Under the cover in the very back is an E-6, 2-valve, (ENDT 673) for a B model.. around 1960. both engines are owned by the same people. Funny thing about them.... this is more for youre shop talk thread, but anyway.. I work for myself, and I worked for them at thier company part time, then I went full time for health insurance. So one friday I went home 2 hrs early because I was in a lot of pain, (buldging disc's).. anyway, no one was there but me and I was done with all of my work.. went back on Monday, and the Son, ripped me a new A-Hole, cursed me me out and told me to get the "F" out!!! when I came back to get my tool box, he asked me if I would still be willing to build thier engines at my shop.. I sad, yes... that was on Nov. 1st. I'm still scratching my head... They also have 2 E-7's and an E-Tech that they want me to build... jojo

Ok... last Pup... this is Mack. he's the oldest. 3 years old on Aug. 18th.. Now it's time for other pup's to be posted... Bring 'em on...jojo

thanks... great pup's!!!! my first shop, of course it's too small now.. I put a 20' carport up to the front 2 months ago, now its 45' long... next step is a concrete pad outside. jojo

I had a little trouble getting the picture up,, dont know why... well, its up... jojo

Here is our other Australian Sheppard 'Tino' (Valentino). He will be 2 on Jan. 1st... He is full of energy and extremely athletic.. He's amazing! All he want's to do is run and play with the other 2 pup's... jojo

yep... our 2 countries would be a strong team that could support each other, and provide to each the resources that may not be available in the other country.. jojo

Too bad our King wont open our country up for business.. we have all of what we need right under our feet... Jojo

Oh I almost forgot, a plate of French fries and gravy.. So good!!
