  1. The 1"impacts everybody wants to use on lug nuts are ridiculous overkill. When most places started using air to torque lug nuts the 1" guns were rated around 500ft lbs, now they are over 1000 and they're still using them just because they always have. I use a 1/2" or 3/4" to pull mine off and almost always a 1/2" to put them back on.
  2. The dirty injectors are little injectors, the clean shiny injector is a big injector. I know they look the same, they even have the same outside dimensions. But they're definitely not the same where it counts.
  3. Damn I thought I was bad, I guess a have a few years to catch up though.
  4. Whats the word on the shirts barry?
  5. well theyre only 10k over then your around 50k lt wt aren't ya, 30k for the box and load aint bad, hell that skid is probably 5k.
  6. I built a working walthers coal flood loader, got a video of that on there too.
  7. Check out the new QSI sound decoders, the new titan stereo decoders make tsunamis sound like tin toys. I have a video on my YouTube page of a coal train running a few Kato dash9's with tsunami. My YouTube is 502nuts.
  8. Yep mid 90's Ertl dozer I had the rest of the 1:16 case series bought and then the guy wanted more money, yeah uh no thanks, I passed but I still want em all.
  9. Time for another installment of 84 has too many toys...got most of my HO scale construction fleet, a shelf full of about half my HO containers and a few intermodal trailers and some more of my big stuff.
  10. The Gevos are first run Intermountain units, the dash 9 is Kato, I have a bunch most with tsunami sound, several Atlas GE's with QSI.
  11. No reason to hide in a cave!
  12. Might be too small a pin or too big a hole too, pin rubbing top cap if the old pin spun in the axle.
  13. Loose wheels with worn out holes or worn out hubs.
  14. They put a lot more than 44 in those 20 footers. I pulled cans for a year and the heaviest were 20' loaded with marble, granite and copper pipe. I was always over 80k with those loads, only 40' over gross I pulled was hardwood for export (around 85-90k) and a magnet wire machine brought in from Japan. I was running 98,000 with that one, nobody else would pull it but the ol E9, with 44 camelback rears and 4.42's didn't even notice.
  15. I think you need to pull the heads and get em out of your way too, Ill store em for you just send them my way!
  16. Too heavy for a 724k huh? I guess you didn't try to drag it then, were they over their 20k weight estimate?
  17. That looks like clear powder coat over chrome or polished aluminum from the pics.
  18. My name only experience with a one piece was KW's, cost more than a two piece and harder to install and keep from leaking.
  19. All nice pics but that Blue F and the orange Chevy are sweeeeeet!
  20. Uh, HELLLL NOOOO!
  21. I think satin polishes best, better use her nighty.
  22. The paint and lettering are great, keep it up.
  23. Yep nuts go out.
  24. We used to have em on a dump truck, actually lots of old dump trucks had em here. I can't remember who made them but they have to be around I'll do some asking with my ATHS guys and see what I can find out.
