The Rubber Duck 006

Wife drives a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium. I own a 2001 Ford F250 XL Super Duty with a 7.3 Power Stroke its currently parked due to some issues and high diesel prices lol. My daily is the 1976 Chevrolet Cheyenne C20

And here I am at 36 and hate working on or attempting to work on vehicles that don't have a Carb or throttle body injection. 🤔 that's why I own a 1976 Chevrolet Cheyenne C20 I can work on it myself

Be even funnier if the dog was a husky!!!

Yes Sir that is true. I was blessed to grow up with a Grandfather that was a mechanic and what he didn't know he read about and passed his knowledge on to me. Most of what I know on these big trucks I've learned by experience or asked. That quote for me is more a joke than anything. I usually say it after I've figured something out and fixed it right or helped a friend out fixing their stuff. It's also more of a " I don't claim to know it all or be a professional" kinda thing as well.

That's a big plus....I'm the same way....as Lynrd Skynrd Said "I know little....Baby we can guess The rest"

I doubt this person will see this but it popped up that it hadn't been answered yet so I thought I'd kindly oblige.

No that's what you call having parts built to last and work for a long time lol

Not worth it!!! If you get caught it's 10,000 per Deleted truck to the shop plus I believe 30,000 fine initially. Also NO dealers will touch a Deleted truck and I believe it's also a 10-15 thousand dollar fine to you as a Deleted truck owner.

Like Peterbilt with their latest Frankenstein. That 589 is Ugly!!!!

They probably didn't put enough Moth balls in the gas tank hahahaha 😆 😂 🤣 😅

Nice looking tractor!! I'd buff that red paint out with some rubbing compound or brush it with Lynn seed oil

Farmer calls trucking company "Well I've got a tractor and a planter that need transported to my next field please" .....A few days later a couple trucks show up....One driver looks at the other and Replies with a Grin "Call dispatch we're gonna need bigger trucks!!!!" 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣

My 2016 does the same thing. You may want to hook it up to a computer just to double check that the system is all good just to be on the safe side.

That's exactly what I love about MY 2016 CHU613 PINNACLE....STILL FEELS LIKE A REAL TRUCK COMPLETE WITH SIDE PIPES AND A Set forward axle.

Hope that helped

Thank you Sir I've passed that on to my mechanic and hopefully he'll show the boss.

My 2016 will do that when the filter is high percent full. You should be able to check the Soot level in your Diagnostics on your dashboard Menu

SWEEET RIDE THERE Ralphie 😆 😂 😆 🤣 😂

I figure it this way I drove a 2006 Coronado with a Series 60 Detroit 14.0L 515HP factory with a 10spd Eaton and 3:73 gears. Not governed etc no Def or Any of that Regen stuff etc. Whether fully loaded or empty avg MPG was 7-8. Also drove a 1995 Peterbilt with a 3406E cat and it got 6-7MPG same whether loaded or empty and it was probably 425-500HP maybe with a 10spd. Do I want a truck with 700-1,000 HP For OTR Nope I sure don't but having 500-600 HP and from learning how to use it correctly Yes Sir!!! It's funny how Aerosol Hair spray and paint etc are Still sold and at one time were quoted as being harmful to the Ozone 😆 😂 But OH NO THAT TRUCK CAN'T SMOKE AT ALL I MEAN " HOW DARE YOU!!!!!" It's all a joke to me anymore.

Exactly....These new So called engineers and the government have successfully done away with all that

You Read my mind Mate!!

I've driven by that place!! I loved those internationals he had sitting there!! I never could remember the name of the place!!!

I'd definitely drive it!!!

I guess I was born in the wrong Era like my Grandfather always said. Here lately after all the issues with The Green Hornet 💚 I've been wanting an older Truck Particularly a CABOVER!!! Now I know alot will tell me that I'm nuts and that's OK but I remember riding in an old Freightliner when I was younger up in Michigan and I fell in love with it. Now a few modern updates would be great like air ride,short frame stretch maybe,and a fridge maybe also a webasto heater for winter. But other than that I just wanna go down the road in a Cabover. Couple favorite ones are the late 70s Freightliner,Mack MH613,International 4070B.

Welcome My Fellow TRUCKER. I'd love to see that Rig.
