  1. I know exactly what you mean. If I said what I truly want to , I'd be fired off this site like one of those Space X rockets .
  2. How about they sink or swim ? Ever get a discount for your hard work ? IDK about higher education, but the ones getting the free ride, they're smarter than me get'n by without kill'n themselves. F#$*'n joke. Can't earn a grade or pay, then you shouldn't be there in the first place.
  3. That LE 12.9 means it's a metric grade 12.9 ( pretty hard bolt ) and LE I believe is Lake Erie (?) the manufacturer. Those 23-160s are a very good component. Odd that bolt broke and no sign it was loose. ( weird ) from your pictures, looks like there's definitely some life left in it.
  4. Is that a locker ? If it is you'll need to cage the sliding clutch. Remove the air fitting and if I remember correctly you'll use a 3/8 fine thread bolt in through the hole you take the fitting out. Make a couple long studs same size as a bolt you remove around the carrier. When you slide the carrier out of the housing on the studs it'll be easier to balance it with one of the then exposed flange bolt holes. This component is a couple hundred pounds.
  5. That's 2300 cubic inches of Cummins brute power there. Gonna need some big exhaust.....and a big fuel tank.
  6. QSK38 that right there is about as close to living behind it that automatic transmission will ever be.
  7. Thanks, nice job. Very nice of you for those of us who weren't there.
  8. That black truck is a beauty.
  9. Is this by any chance a reman clutch ? Do you have a good transmission jack ??
  10. It's a beautiful dump truck. I also just happened to see that H360 Brockway with the dump trailer out by The Beacon Bridge on RT 84. It was something seeing it in the area it would have been working in 45 years ago.
  11. OD I wasn't fast enough earlier today to get the picture. Saw one of your favorite Bs going up Route 222 today headed to the show ( that black dump truck with the red frame ) Cool seeing it in action like that.
  12. Looks like some form of a Cummins QSK38 (V12 size of 2 6 cylinder KTs, as opposed to the 1710 V12 2 855s)
  13. Vlad.... you're kill'n it here. Where do you get these pictures ? Impressive knowledge of RWs too. I can relate to the model thing too.
  14. If this is the same truck ???? just a couple things you mentioned don't sound right. Heavy spec aluminum frame ???? tri-drive ? I said it somewhat in jest about the pictures. (but God help us..... we love pictures) They really would be a great help for some input on this truck you're wondering about.
  15. 😏 question like this requires pictures . Solely for the sake of making an accurate assessment ...... or we all just love pictures .

    How about this guy ???? Watch _The GREATest 2 sticks shifting video of all time!_ on YouTube.eml
  20. Not much chance of it not running. Not much else that hasn't been replaced or serviced . You're going to be surprised at how smooth that will run.
  21. Looks like it's ready to start. Did you have it running yet ?
  22. That's a very popular show OD. Lots of nice trucks there. I don't make it as often as I'd like to, but I'm sure you'd see a familiar face or ten there.
