  1. It'll be so much easier for them to export it to china from Alaska.
  2. Didn't Hunter just sell a painting.... Alaska Wilderness ?
  3. Mark T

    Shop Talk

    I once saw on Nick's Garage, he ran some engine on the dyno with a three barrel carburetor 🤔
  4. Once the bronze or bar itself is worn...... those seals don't do much anyway. Jack it up to unload the suspension , and grease it until it purges then do the same thing with the suspension holding the truck up. A working truck ? This should be every week at the latest. Anyone remember Hendrickson RT ? pretty much the same principal . Jojo makes an interesting point about the saddle in relationship to the trunion stand. If you pay attention to what he's talking about it's a lot easier to just put bushings in when you see that (or even those cheap saddles that come with a bushing) and extend the bars life.......so that way it'll still be ok by the time the legs get rotted .
  5. Says 44 series and oil in the 50+ ones
  6. Is it still too early to comment on the woman burn'n out going backwards upon realizing the worst was about to happen
  7. This theory is primarily advised by the either the guy who gets to pay for, or actually do the repair on a prematurely worn trunion bar. On a truck with a lift axel, even putting that down with the truck unloaded helps better than not jacking.
  8. I thought that thing was to take out and replace with a pipe plug 🤔
  9. Seriously, I have as much business making a rap album as some of these jokers have being in NASCAR. See how fast I'd be bashed or commented on by people. not sorry (yo shout out to my homey JoJo)
  10. The Rawhide interior was one of the nicest available ( in my opinion ) so naturally Volvo did away with it .
  11. I'd like a Mack with something like a CL hood and a Rawhide cab (from @ 2007) Something like that with an X15 option. .....of course I'd like if they still made Superliners with E9s (or what it would be now, like those 732 HP Scania V8s)
  12. IDK a lot about NASCAR. Do know it basically started out as a Southern thing. Guess it can no longer be considered that. Any of you guys wanna buy my rap album ????
  13. Face it , it was the beginning of the end when Dale Earnhardt had the accident that killed him. NASCAR woke (lol) seriously ? WTF happened to everything ?
  14. I see. My avatar is a CL . Looks like that, and I've put them in CHs. 880joe said it's from a Rawhide (could be) But I know from back in the '90s CH and CL had some subtle differences and would go in either one screw for screw. That truck in the picture you posted looks to be almost 20 years newer than a '98 with the flared out sides of the hood.
  15. Are you sure someone didn't put a CL grille in it ? They go right in . That trim around it looks like something Bellmore or one of those aftermarket suppliers.
  16. FROs aren't too hard to find here used for $1000.00 used take out.
  17. That guy that owns the Federal may be some distant relative of Otherdog. He looks a little like him at a glance.
  18. Guy was explaining about the canisters in the front of it. Had exploded view of the inertia starter, history of the truck's purpose. I loved it.
  19. I watched one that went into detail about the Federal. Learned a few things from it.
  20. There's a second video after the demo. Well worth watching also.
  21. We have a starter/generator place here, guy's pretty cool. PM me or something if you want me to inquire or I could send you a number. I know at the least he'd have a suggestion .
  22. That's a Caterpillar thing too. Part of the repair on a failed component in finals or other internal housings where chips or filings may still be hiding after a cleaning. Theory is the paint helps keeps particles trapped.
  23. That paint will help trap any of that stubborn rusty stuff that may try coming off after it's together. It's a good idea. If it's stuck for the most part it'll help unwanted particles from going in the oil.
