Jamied625 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 what do you have for a transmission in that truck a straight 7? and that is a great looking rig all that you have there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkobes43 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Eaton Fuller 10 Speed! Thanks bud i appreciate it! The gear popped out somewhere towards the end of the video going down the hill, i nearly shit myself. You really dont realize how fast the truck will pick up speed in "neutral" with 35,000 pounds pushing you down the hill. Really scary moment for sure. But i found a higher gear and pulled over to start again...Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamied625 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 o well thats even better than the 7 speed, so how big of a step are you looking to get?? and 35k will push you down a hill very fast haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkobes43 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Will the guy take yours on trade? Are you going to keep the ramps for loading cars?Asked the guy if he wanted to trade, he said no as he is getting out of the business. Im selling my ramps. As the tarasport has 2 sets of loading ramps. Don't worry JT!Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are flimsy as all hell.also is it a 53' with extentions? or extended to 53? If it is a 53' before extentions it will be illegal. Also a 53 is not allowed everywhere even with spread axle. Also get to learn how to back up again with a spread. I'd look 4 a 48' even beaver tailed you run into length problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul roncetti Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi Tom, Sounds like its in you're blood like me, lol. I however went broke by the time i was 26 by overextending the business, owned 28 Macks and 30 leased to me working on the interestate system be constructed. From that time on I 've been in the tool & die business for packaging equipment doing business with Schick Wilkinson and Revlon, etc. One thing I regret is not going to business school rather than engineering.

dover Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 As long as you can pass the physical you should be able to walk right through the rest with that kind of background. You'll never know until you try. I have been around trucks the majority of my life, but I kept putting off taking the test because I didn't want to fail. I finally realized that I would have been way ahead had I taken it, even if I failed 10 times. By the way I did miss one of the written by 1 point but nailed the rest.Good luck,Ben Quote 1962 B733 L cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont "Show off" my truck. I sold my pickup truck to get the international and get my business going. The only vehicles i have to get to school, work, go out on dates, movies, is either the international or my 96 f350 mason dump... I dont have another car and or truck to go out with.
