Oh, by the way, Joey, you use the word shit box in the Peterbilt discussion I have not heard that in years. Nobody says that here … we say beater out here.

and yes, bud very hard for me to turn down any freebies

Ha ha my brand not sure how this conversation keeps swinging one way to the next interesting to follow. I guess in a shop talk could include anything including paps blue ribbon it’s the best I used to drink Budweiser for years and years. Once they sell the company it doesn’t have any more flavor….. Pabst is still full on…. Bob

The brand new ones are a dream to drive, although the three axle rides, real rough over bumps, everything clings and bangs seat, chatters other than that they’re smooth and quiet, full of power takeoff fast pull hard and run down the road faster if I could keep this thing going it will be my last truck…bob

I am also the same age. Glad you’re OK. I’m pretty much the same way. Just keep plugging along like i was 20 .. don’t have too many health issues, but one never knows I do drink too much, but I’ve been trying to control it. Best of luck to you, bud. Bob

I do like the Mack . Thanks for the post could never understand why those guys think their shit has to be so short.

Yes Joey this job has been beating me to death past couple of weeks as well as driving spare tractors I decided to go a little longer a while back to get some expensive home repairs done yes I would love to leave now, but I’m going another nine months end of next August will be it … but I’ve mentioned I’m not leaving. Going to run a forklift and a yard hustler over there part time no more roadwork. Long shifts too many issues. Happy Saturday bud. Thanks for your input still sipping coffee trying to wake up.

OK kind of confusing. The one with the bad transmission is still at Peterbilt the next one I was supposed to drive starting Monday just came out of the shop yesterday. Let’s see how that goes over three months without a CB or XM excited to get it or brand new truck let’s hope this thing is not constantly breaking.. bob

OK thanks for that. I don’t know why that hose is so thick. It’s 5/16 inner 11/16 outer. I’m going to take the parts into that hydraulic shop right next to Fedex Tuesday morning see what he has to say I’m exhausted but it’s gonna be a pretty good day. I’m gonna go out there in a little while and mess around with it changing a Maxi valve that’s been leaking the entire time I’ve had it got a brand new one then I have to put my leave blower together. Like you fellas back there I have got attire yard full of them. Job has been beating me to death as well as being sick since Monday right now I’m just guzzling coffee trying to come around Stayed up too late. Watching rawhide last night on DVD wound up sleeping till 830.

Thanks for the updated photos Matt I’m sure most of us are not going to get tired of looking at them. Amazing progress and yes, thank you so much for your services. We could sure use a whole country full of people like you would certainly be a much better place.Bob

Terrific post fellas too many likes very special. Thanks to all of you folks involves with defending this place as far as jane Fonda she really doesn’t even belong in the conversation spoiled little bitch that never really had to do anything but swim in money and bash gods best people. my wife said to me one time this place is twisted why is it politicians make way more than soldiers and teachers????bob

Oh by the way yes my hoses are the same way flat on one end but I have a third one that goes in the middle of the two big ones it’s a different size

Haven’t had much time to get on here lately. My job is been turning into 1314 hrs. a day. I’m exhausted when I get home and haven’t got any time to get on here.

Thanks for that. Yes, mine are all removable ends i’m having a little bit of trouble trying to find the sizes. I’m going to try one outfit right down the street from my job gonna give Amazon one more shot this weekend. I received the oil filter for Amazon today. I appreciate your input. I might be contacting you for your supplier, ha ha thanks again bud

Excellent thanks for that … most of us would rather be in it than what we’re stuck in slope nose plastic junk lol best of luck with it.. bob

yes, that’s what I have all removable fittings not sure where I’m gonna go from here we have like four hydraulic lines shops in Reno and they all have bankers hours. I can’t get in there to even ask them anything. I’m going to stop by one of them on the way out there right next to our yard, I will talk to him see what he can do this is ridiculous. The one thing I didn’t think I’d have any trouble with.

Ok link worked and yes I did try watts first !!!

Excellent thanks fellas

So I find a rebuilt triplex 50 miles from here and I can’t find the oil lines really?

Oil line any of you fellas know where I can buy this stuff they run off the oil filter canister to the block 2 of them are 7/8 I’d 1-1/4 outside braided… 1 is 5/16 id 11/16 outer we have three hydraulic line shops in town and they are all open 8 to 5 and close Saturday and Sunday. Thanks fellas.

I had to ask the girl to recheck it. Make sure it wasn’t a mistake, but she scanned the bar so I had doubt that there was any mistakes.

I’m thinking it’s electrical. That’s where our trucks maxed out and high gear. Good luck bud.

Wesley crushers mama humma humma … bob

That was excellent Paul. Thanks…. Bob

i brought that up a while ago about weight distribution ,,,,, im sure you could probably get away with around 18,000 pound vehicle on it...and yes the truck is definately breath taking...thanks again matt for all your updated photos...bob
