  1. Going to look at the CF at 10a today (Friday 13th). Bid is now $4000 and reserve not met. I am out but still going to look at it since it is about 30 miles north of my house in Canton. It is sitting inside at one of their "closed" stations.
  2. Excellent! Thanks for the post. Looks like the pic was taken on the "back lot" at the Engineering Center. P.S. Striping scheme might be a nice additon to my MH.
  3. CAT has deeper pockets than Progress Rail...bigger payoff to UP.
  4. Thanks...and don't forget, we are "truckin' sluts" too!
  5. That is why he always takes his girlfriend...
  6. Sorry for the bad link...give it another try.
  7. A 850 H.P. John Deere diesel vs. A steam tractor rated 18 H.P. It's all about torque and traction. The steam tractor, weiging much more than the diesel has plenty of traction. And steam engines have lots of torque. In the past, often only a single steam locomotive was needed to pull a long train. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=FLQhvruimfs

  10. If this was Bush or any other previous President, there would be talk of impeachment. My how times have changed. http://news.yahoo.com/sebelius-asks-investigation-flawed-website-115515307--finance.html
  11. Thanks Ron! Who is who in the group picture?
  12. Vlad, Tank looks nice. I have two (2) from my MH if you need more practice.
  13. My thoughts.... If he can't get it done in 8 years...put someone else in.
  14. I am no expert on this but I remember the OEs designing the system to be "tamper proof". The computer senses some backpressure so if one removes the filter it will throw a code and possible derate because the BP is too low. Again, no expert but this is what I remember from my "working days".
  15. Certainly....post your question in the Driveline and Suspension forum.
  16. From one truckin' slut to another....VERY NICE R!
  17. Did you get dizzy?
  18. I doubt you will see any difference in fuel mileage.
  19. Did the USPS tractors have Allison transmissions?
  20. Received this from a friend... Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare website. First Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the no-bid contract to build the failed Obamacare website. Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company. Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni. Toni Townes,’85, is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon, West Africa. Her decision to return to work, as an African-American woman, after six years of raising kids was applauded by a Princeton alumni publication in 1998. George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal’s parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract. On the government end, construction of the disastrous Healthcare.gov website was overseen by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of longtime failed website-builder Kathleen Sebelius’ Department of Health and Human Services. CGI Federal did not immediately return a request for comment. Soooooo........... Let’s see if we can connect the dots here ... 1.) No American companies considered; 2.) A Canadian company hired; 3.) No Bid contract for $93 million; 4.) Top executive at website-building firm went to school with Michelle Obama; 5.) Previous experience building gun registry for Canadian government; 6.) Fired by Canadian Government for overruns that cost Canada $100 million; 7.) Overruns for Obamacare enrollment website now costing U.S. $678 million, and still going up. Does this bother anybody else besides me? And this is just one of their corrupt enterprises. The Obamas are worse than "Bernie" Madoff and far more dangerous to the country.
  21. Dual stacks on the passenger side would be interesting. Gives me an idea for my "next" MH exhaust system - added to the bottom of my LOOOONNNG "to do" list.
