Windshield wiper stud
Miami Cossack replied to 2014pinnacle's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
The Volvo dashes will crumble away to nothing when they get old. Their recycled plastic is dreadful. Those wiper linkages are not fun, that's why the stealership charges so much. I have fished them out the other way but it's awful being my size and standing on your head trying not to pop anything loose by accident. You look up there with a flashlight and you're greeted by 56 butt-splices and a bunch of scotchloks. Again: Jojo for the save -

Wow Joey! That never occurred to me. Last one was a ton of fun with all of the garbage in the way. HUGE thanks! -
I get that people are too stupid to set the brakes on a vehicle nowadays so we have to engineer a way around it. They can't work a clutch pedal either. I don't have a problem with this technology, it's going to come along with the dumber people and all of the lawsuits from those who cannot take responsibility. But just wait 'til they act up. On an EV this is especially exciting! More on that later. I should have been a forensic ornithologist or something.

They hated Bondi. They came at her with all kinds of crap. If you go to wikipedia it says she is human garbage. That means they hate her, which is great. She was brutal on child molesters and druggies. She cleaned up most of Charlie Grift's mess. They should just wait until Tet when the dems and RINO's go to China for their holidays and confirm them all then. They are only good until next session, but they can get a lot done ..... then do it again! Clinton did well over a hundred recess appointments. It's a dirty way to do things, but the RINOs and Dems are not going to let us clean up this mess any other way

The McGurk Way 1952 History of Freight and Trucking
Miami Cossack replied to 70mackMB's topic in Truck Stories
I grew up in Soviet Union and the big difference was our leaders banked on a rail system. America invested heavily on the highway system and people using cars, their own cars. Trucks, buses. America got it right. That allowed the country and society to grow and prosper. It's more than just moving missiles and tanks. To this day, the extent of the highway system impresses me -
Now she says if someone broke into her house she would use her guns to kill them. 😜😜😜😜. I doubt if she could figure a firearm out, but she would give the intruder a whole bunch of STD's that would last for life. Everything these snakes say is a lie

She used to blow married guys. Like Dr Jill. LOL

The banana republics, Iran, Russia, South America etc... they use plane crashes to get rid of their opponents. All the time. And it sends a message. He really shouldn't fly for the next couple months.

And if that doesn't work, they start WW3 and there is no election

The third attempt they will bring in a pro

And kick out all of the Secret Service

How does an unemployed guy in Hawaii get an AK? How does he travel the world? How does he go to Ukraine and hang out with the Azov nazis without drawing a ton of attention from the feds? How does a "sniper" hide in the bushes for 12 hours with a pink shirt? How is it TWO would-be murderers of our president have been in Blackrock commercials? The questions go on and on and on......Either the SS is completely trying to kill him, or only half of them are. People keep getting advance word of where to be and when, and find a good place where there is suspiciously no security whatsoever, six weeks apart. Mr Trump had better see if any of his aircraft ground crew or his chef have been in Blackrock commercials.

Us here, you folks and the people I am around are not like these libs and brainwashed fools. We build things, we fix things. We know how to fabricate and make something run forever or make a part or a tool that you can't click on the app and buy. We have the upper hand, and as things get worse we have more of an advantage. We can grow food, hunt, know how do provide some level of medical care to animals and humans. The people around us are soft and helpless. They won't make it a week. When the regime starts shutting off their bitcoin or the Chinese strangle the supply chain worse...or the cars get worse. They wont eat. They wont be driving. They cant travel. No heat, brown-outs, no A/C! Sorry, can't charge your car this week, Chad! Sorry, no medical care for you, your social score is too low! We will provide for ourselves. Us old guys are self sufficient.

I will do just fine no matter what they install. But their cheerleaders are in for a very miserable life when they wake up and get what they wanted so bad.

Proterra closes $155 million investment with Daimler, others
Miami Cossack replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
An electric School Bus is 4 times the cost of a Cummins. When the battery is dead you must tow it to a charging station. They operate high voltage systems for the A/C, air compressor, propulsion system, power steering, inversion system. 600-700 volts requires trained technicians which are in short supply. Charging stations are a huge issue. HUGE. The battery pack on a Proterra (Thomas) is 11.5 inches off the road. IC bus is about 12 inches. High center it or hit debris and you have to tow the bus and find someone to remove, inspect and repair/re-certify the battery packs before it hits the road again. Any damage to the battery pack or even the EV bus, and most collision shops won't even touch the thing. There are a handful of things that can disable a ICE vehicle. There are many dozens on an electric. For safety reasons. It has to be that way. If you have a battery pack failure, the bus is a write off unless you are lucky enough to get the manufacturer to pay for it. When they are working properly, they are really nice. Great to drive. I would say the ones I deal with are on the road 30% of the time at best. Also, Don't use them on a lot of hills or deep water/snow if you can help it. Whatever you do, don't high center one. The International is quite a bit better but the A/C systems are right by the rear wheels. Sling a tire and guess what? .....They will get better some day. I work with these, daily. They aren't telling you the whole story. -
Finally some DM progress

I forget. Wasn't the Mack the first one piece fiberglass front end in the industry? -
Women voters and mail in ballots appearing by the truckloads. Nothing against women, but they gave us jug ears, they almost gave us Hillary, they love Pedo Joe and they adore this dipshit. They don't vote on policy, they vote on emotion and who has the best fingernail polish

Weird that the hyena wants another "debate"
-
Within a year or less, I won't be able to put some words like I did online without going to prison. That is coming so soon your head will spin! Anyone who is watching current events should be really really alarmed.

The sad news is that the White House really has very little power. The FBI is no longer under the executive branch. The Executive (White House especially) is a figure head. Whoever ends up sitting in the oval office signing things and giving speeches for four years has their hands tied and answers to people we have never even heard of. If this person is in lockstep with the Intel hydra, then the FBI/CIA works with them (like Bush or Obama) If not, they hog tie the President like Trump, Ford or Carter. If voting actually meant the people could choose someone that could run the country the way the citizens wanted it to run, they would not let us have elections. Local elections are kind of important. You have to carefully choose county commissioners and prosecutors and judges. But don't you ever wonder why federal judges and intel people are appointed and serve for life? The FBI/CIA/NSA are more powerful than any entity on the planet. You see them just flip congress or the white house the bird when they demand something with regards to oversight or that recent assassination attempt. Nobody controls them. And they manipulate the court system and the media. And Garland had the f*******ng nerve to make his little speech the other day about how wrong it is to call out the FBI and DOJ for being so weaponized! They are the government.

Not sure about doubles. The one the other day looked like it could not be him. But then why not use a double more often? Did they want the world to see him crapping his depends and falling down? It really doesn't change much for my life either way. Did you notice like the commies gave up about 6 weeks ago? Seems they didnt even juice up Pedo Joe before the debate. They just gave up. Now the retarded sex maniac they know cant win, and they seem to endorse this hyhena. Maybe They want Trump to win. What if they own Vance? Easier than doing twice the fake ballots and risking massive unrest. Trump wins, the country calms down a bit then either Vance keeps the system all gummed up (because he's total deep state) or they shoot Trump and Vance takes over. Like LBJ? Just a thought.....The problems with doubles, if they really had good ones they would have used them frequently to avoid all of the embarassing crap we saw for years. They either wanted to humiliate the country or they were unable to use doubles. Many world leaders used them very effectively, even stars. I am not sure they use them with this particular individual, but the one the other day sure looked like someone else. Really does it change anything?

The old 9000 with a 3406B was one heck of a truck for the money and the sleeper wasn't extra cost
-
That guy they rolled out the other day wasn't even Brandon. He was taller and walked great. No tripping, limping, pausing or stumbling. One of the doubles. This is like North Korea. I'm from the Soviet Union. This really gives me deja vu. I am waiting for them to play classical music on every station for 9 hours straight then announce that he died in his sleep. They asked the FBI and USSS about the would be sniper kid and they basically flipped Congress the bird. We are literally here folks.

They pushed Molester Joe out and he totally screwed up their plans. Funny as hell !!! I would love to see their texts and phone calls. They must be freaking out !!!! They will kill him
