  1. gives an excellent view as the box is coming up. making sure that it is square with the rails. And you can't miss the cable coming at you if it snaps
  2. hmmm 10,000 dented fuel tanks-$1000 x2 brings us to 8 wheels dirty drop another 1 j/k pics to ackelltrucking@yahoo.com please
  3. Got a $$$ amount in mind?
  4. welcome aboard. get a big note book or several-one for each truck Write year, vin# Do a full service (oil, filters, grease) and the mileage now you have a starting point Chassis grease every three weeks oil at 10,000 miles Start getting common part numbers- wheel seal, both steer and drives; bearing sets that are needed for same; u-joints if many trucks have the same common parts, get a full set. This will cut down on down time as the parts are there already It's easier to write it down as you go, then get a computer program to enter it all. If you can, take one unit a day, bring it in, and go thru the whole thing. It may cost the boss some $$$$$ but having fewer breakdowns and less headaches from DOT will justify it all. Last but not least-Houston traffic sucks. even at 3 am-yes I did it twice
  5. did you need a refresher course on how to shift?
  6. looks like the first one will be the show truck
  7. Equal enforcement is also gone. Know a guy that got pulled into the shed for a Level 3 inspection. Passed, got the little sticker and headed off. Florida State Trooper stopped him before he hit the ramp to get back on 95 and wrote him up. DOT guy pulled up, shrugged his shoulders and left.

  20. Did y'all get any notice that they would be running by?
  21. Fan clutch may be shot. Can you turn it by hand when engine is cold?
  22. Mine is the shackle end. They are rubber, so they wear out quick. Plus, not being able to grease just compounds the problem. Look at the shackle end, you will prolly see that the spring is not sitting centered on the pin. I tried to use a needle type grease attachment. Just made a mess of grease in my gloves.
  23. "The computer will show me what you have. I can get that" Will have to look up some good heavy duty spring shops. Hopefully, they are open Saturday's. Thanks for the help
  24. HEY!!!! HEY!!!!!! I made damn sure that my five-yes 5 votes counted
