If it was as sludged up as mine, it took near a summer to get everything cleaned out. I used to get a milkshake out of the tank each trip out. It should have made some kind of noticable difference, but like said it mine have alot of oil in the lines yet. There again, you might have a warranty claim on that rebuild pump too.

Ohhhh, ya. Nows I's remembern.............

King of Oboslete.............he used to be on one of the diesel forums. We knew each other in basic terms. He used to write some really cool stories, even had a book published. Quite the fabricator also working up in the frozen north. The ol Ford, aka the double dually. He was driving his Ford: http://www.kingofobsolete.ca/DOUBLE_OR_NOTHING_WEBPAGE.html

Hmmm, shock treatment?? Sounds like what I used to get at the chiro. I won't make you repeat it for all to hear(since I don't know what you are talking about).

Good lookin B. I met the couple with the LTL at South Bend and spent time chatting through the weekend. He was parked right in front of the forum tent. Very cool truck!!

Dang, and it's Mopar weekend at Carlisle. Buddy is over there currently.

Macks and Cubs.................it don't get ANY better then that. Even if you have an Old Milwaukee beer...............LOL!!!

Was over New Castle way last Tuesday and saw some windmill blades sitting unhooked in a rest area. Man them things are BIG!!!

And 10K of it on the nose..........and the reason why the truck is buried down on the spring bumpstops!!! My trailer is about 3K on the nose. My 2000 PSD would pull my 14K trailer up Fancy Gap at 55 mph in 6th gear just feathering the throttle. All stock, no tuner, just no muffler.

Surprised they didn't try to put it in the back of the box truck? Then there would be room for a forth vehicle LMAO!!!! That poor dually don't look TOO overloaded on the back? Wonder what the tongue weight is on that thing? That van has to be 5500#? Then the mustang and trailer weight too?

HIgh cab placement for air flow?? What about wind resistance? I know, I know, they don't want to burn the truck down with the dual DPF's going.

Pretty sure it is NOT Stan Leman. He's in the club and I'm pretty sure I woulda heard something that drastic. You are thinking of Dick Best. Yes, he passed about a year ago(is it two now?), right after the show(which was usually on around his birthday). Stan doesn't get out much anymore, not sure why? Not sure he took any of this trucks to the IX center show this past winter? I wasn't there so can't say for sure. I did see Stan(or at least his Super) over in Indiana a month or so back.

Stan leman?? He is a V8 kinda guy.

If it is correct the registered weights go in increments. Sounds about right at 21k as I went to 33k for mine as I know with the trailer it would be more(gcvwr). I knew the 22k would not be enough. Time to put non commercial on the truck to help aide these jokers in determining what you are doing.

If it is not blown up Mason truck parts in Ohio can rebuild it in a day. They did mine 10odd years ago. Three days total travel time. I dont have their number handy but should google easily. Gnaddenhutten, Ohio area on rt 36. It was $500.

I remember Rob and I were going to run that truck to New England? to get a trailer he purchased(the one he put a whole new neck on). Then the truck wouldn't pass DOT and was concerned we might have to walk home he we got stopped so we cancelled the trip. I've traded emails with Rob about a week or so ago. Seems he was going to get a new phone so he could talk in person. Seems he has alot going on(like usual), but wants to get his retirement plans in motion.

Oh crap!! Looking at the carnage of front blow outs.......scares the beejeebers out of me for anyone driving a cabover!

After I bought my B, I drove it everywhere, all the time. Work, cruise ins, the store, whatever. Enjoy it!!! 12 yrs later, I'm not as excited, but I still use it for what I intended it for.

Ya, no problemo their Tom. I can see NO reason why that could cause me ANY grief LMAO!!!

Here's the ol B working it............

Sorry to hear you sold the B, Terry. Glad it is not transforming into a KIA!!

No Hooters around here...............ah, well, that didn't sound right> Only a TK, so they get my vote currently.

It was built as a goose, but I bought the 5th wheel plate insert for it. Much easier to hook to then spotting it onto a ball.

I try to follow the rules, but my big thing is getting into my neighborhood. I have to turn right off a 4 lane onto a barely 2 lane township road. There is no way I can get my junk around using just my lane and not take down some poles in the process. The 4 lane is pretty busy, but I usually watch traffic, letting LH lane get by me while keeping an eye on what's directly behind me. I slow, have signal on, then just ease over to about the middle of the two lanes to make sure no one can move around me either way just as I get to intersection. I then cut sharp at the last minute while making sure no one snuck around me on the right. Has worked well for quite a few years now. BUT, I drive for everyone, just like on my motorcycle. You can't assume anything on a bike! I too try to blink for trucks, if in my pickup to Mack. A majority flash a " thanks". Many don't bother or never looked to see me blink them over. I don't cut it short, ever. I always get 100ft past a truck before thinking about coming back over(unless special circumstances). I don't want cut off no more then the next guy. Like just last weekend, even with my little hood this minivan just about disappeared as he cut over about 5ft past my bumper. Why? no reason, there was no one in front of me.
