  1. You must think every company and every segment of the trucking industry is the same. For a large over the road company that only has steering wheel holders this may be true. Between the cheap/ light spec and poor drivers the truck is lucky to last 10 years. Auction prices are not a function of truck worth. I have looked at a lot of auction trucks that have serious issues or need major repairs. Even the complete ones have issues due to lack of maintenance. The only reason there are so many newer trucks on the road in California is CARB
  2. It's naked It needs a shiny visor and bumper to go with the stack And no tractor is complete without a fifth wheel!
  3. If the truck originally had 8.25-20 the original rim would be 20x6.50 And that would become 9.00-22.5 on a 22.5x6.75 Yes it is a narrow rim by modern standards
  4. Is it holding air in the wet tank or by the dash gauges? I I remember correctly there is a check valve on the inlet to both the primary and secondary tanks on the feed lines from the wet tank
  5. How about a bucket of steam! That was an old joke played on engineers straight out of college Has a kid ever come to the dealer looking for air brake fluid?
  6. You should watch California politics. Stupid unemployed welfare people are voting while the rest of us actually do work
  7. You can not instantly change a tribal society into a democratic society and make it work. For it to work the change has to come slowly over multiple generations. Why does our government constantly screw this up? The other issue is we need to stay there and both rebuild the country and keep the peace. We screwed up Afghanistan and Iraq The politicians decide when to pull out without taking into account the big picture I personally think we should have turned Sadam into our puppet and worked with him to achieve our goals
  8. Now people think it torture not to have air ride everything, AC and a good stereo
  9. This has some potential if they offer it in a mid roof with a single stack. Just add the grill guard and rooftop deflector
  10. What could you carry in a dump bed without a gate and retain it with the tarp?
  11. Yes Very common on residential automated side loading trucks
  12. That is typically true and what a lay person uses but a digital image contains metadata. The metadata includes information about the camera and can include the location and photographers name.
  13. The truck has less than 30,000 original miles on it so I am not dealing with too much wear just probably a poor design
  14. The shifter on my auxiliary transmission, Rockwell T226 transfer case, has an annoying rattle. The shifter consists of a loose clevis joint at either end of the rod and a metal shifter bolted to the floor of the cab. I added nylon washers to the lever pivot to take up the slop I have temporarily reduced the noise by running a bungee cord from the rod to the bed but it is still annoying The hole in the floor is covered by a thin piece leather, originally there was just a 2"x4" hole in the floor. The front clevis is a pain in the ass to get to and the pin on the clevis on the transmission is frozen in place. How can I quiet this noise down
  15. Ok what would the shipping be to Covina California 91722
  16. I am interested in the one for the r model Where are you located
  17. You own the copyright to the picture you took unless you Transfered it in writing The person who supposedly copyrighted the picture, did they actually copy right it or are they just claiming they did, and the lawyer would have an uphill battle on this one It is possible that there are two very similar images out there The reality is it's probably not worth the trouble
  18. Hopefully you have a video of them saying this in a public meeting so you can sue each of them personally for defamation of character
  19. Drop the hammer on the city. It will really only affect the management that will be put to the curb when the county or state takes over all of the services.
  20. Just make right turns or you could just use hand signals
