    That's a Small Cam in that truck. I see a compression release on there. Looks to be a 350 with the intercooler on it.

    Change to a Big Cam is a easy swap. After so many years, maybe it is by now ?

    If you're correct , then the shape that hood is in gives me a yard on . Lots of goodies on that truck still.

    But this bird brain is going for the pre puberty girl look. What kinda creeps think that should be celebrated let alone encouraged ? It's really strange .

    Thing I don't get, yeah the guy's a fruit cake and all , but he's trying to look like a little girl. Who in their right mind finds anything attractive about that. It's really weird.

    Proof biden's economic plan is working.....it's no joke. Between that and the budweiser thing, at least drinking is down.......or maybe more people are just going straight to fentanyl

    Just a touch of air in it, and WD40. A Dayton you need a couple 2 X 4 to get the rim off the floor.

    A bicycle tube lubed up with a little air in it in the gap on the side you mount it from, take the valve out of the stem on the rim you're putting the tire on and as it airs up it squirts the tube right out as the bead comes up. Not dangerous or anything. If you get the hang of it it works pretty good. Tubes come in 20" and 24" . Done hundreds of them that way over the years until I snagged one of those rings with the holes in it and the air.

    You can use a bicycle tube.

    He might think it's 8 cents......8 eigh. What a moron

    Truck tires are way easier to mount and dismount than car tires. Sounds dumb, but I think they're way easier. Tubeless ones anyway.
  15. Mark T
    Are they tubeless ?
  16. Mark T
    They used to destroy the seal in the turbo. Then the exhaust gasses would be going through the oil return into the crank case. It was an issue with them, maybe poor combination of turbo and exhaust brake compared to others ??? There was even a test of putting the turbo's oil return into a bucket and looking for bubbles. Then if you had one, the lash on the Jake itself was set larger (like an extra twenty five thousands or something like that) so without readjusting that lash without the exhaust brake part, the Jake itself could develop issues. They just weren't the best mousetrap.

    I've had them since in the early '90s. I remember the lower 7 county ones were a big deal then. Most every other one has been somewhat cut back. A statewide prior to the lottery could easily have gone for in the area of 10K. I don't think the ones down state needed a long truck either. They were the crown jewel of permits at one time.
  18. Mark T
    Yes, they can stay with the truck, but IDK if it can be transferred anymore and come back as high. Lower 7 county permits were always different. All I know is over the years all my statewides lost weight, and I don't personally know anyone who applied and was turned down (lottery system) . I'm a little curious to know what you're asking myself.

    An 11 22 in tubeless would be a 12 24.5 if you change to tubeless 11 24.5 is a popular size, but would actually be a hair smaller than an 11 22 . Doubt anyone would really notice.
  20. Mark T
    I don't think you can do that anymore. Something about only the entire company ??? Back in the '90s ??? easily a five digit figure, now ??? IDK if they die with the truck now, or what. There's been so many changes.

    They weren't very effective. Better chance of one of those damaging the turbo , than adding much stopping power. All they really did was preload the valve so the Jake could bump it open a little later ( bigger lash ) . Not very effective on an E7.
  22. Mark T
    Yes, that's an old Stealth Brake . (exhaust brake) . Probably not worth trying to repair at this point.
  23. Mark T
    🤷🏻‍♂️ If he would, then it's not for sale
  24. Mark T
    Used to be common on packers, or DOT macks with a plow. Unless you find just the right stuff in somebody's way....not any cheap way to do it.

    I have one I'll sell ya. $18000.00
