  1. There's a couple older threads about the two countershaft transmission. and yes, the Liberty is lust worthy
  2. I went back and looked at that link again. That's an overdrive. Probably matched with like a 7.5 axle (or lower) that old post says they're the same as a triple countershaft . Probably the same as any direct in that series. Seems 1st wouldn't be much below 8 to one if that even.
  3. There's an old thread hear from back in '09 about a fire truck with one and a 300 (285) nothing about ratios. If I had to guess likely not an overdrive, so the ratio set in JoJo's response seems plausible. Guy points out they're easy to shift.
  4. Pretty hard to simulate conditions it would go through while running. Should be looked into though. I bet it's why you mentioned the part about it being loud.
  5. That's cause you guys down under are typically engaged in extreme truck'n. Maybe it's not totally dust dust dust. But I but your trucks spend way more time at full power , which equates into way way more air moving through 🤔 everything
  6. Yes. Separated. Living separate lives in the same house. I'm pretty sure a strata tube didn't use an actual filter element per se but the tube itself was like a cyclopac or psychopath or something that separated the debris enough to go through the tip fan and intercooler. Anyway.....that T after the Farr ? Not a good idea, unless somebody really likes changing cylinder kits.
  7. They didn't require super clean air. Trucks with a strata tube I don't think even used a filter, just the scoop and some cyclonic (?) action in the tube. I can't for the life of me remember what the inside of one of those air cleaners with the over and under outlets looked like inside. But I do remember one filter was for the engine and one was for the tip turbine. (where's Mech ???)
  8. Puts a whole different meaning to the term air ride. and that's pretty f@#k'n cool
  9. Ummm no it's not. The tip fan only is spun when there's enough manifold pressure to bleed off to spin it. From the outlet of the intercooler back to the ducting from the air cleaner there's nothing filtering air that can pass in there with the tip fan not being fed. Could explain why he mentioned it seemed loud.
  10. Sharing the intake air like that isn't a very good idea.
  11. Happy birthday Jojo
  12. 🤔 I wonder if all the stuff for that rodeo comes in on VNLs
  13. Yes yes.....after reading a different thread here I'd strongly recomend avoiding the free horse.
  14. Ride'm cowboy ??? who knew
  15. I was think'n more like if you did ever get that horse in Reno
  16. You have to admit, it would look awesome hooked to a bull rack. (then again it'd need lots more than an E7 to walk the walk)
  17. You mean like when barry ( not our guy here from BMT ) had his crack at a third term ?
  18. That post earlier ??? You may wanna consider a Clint Eastwood voice then instead of Arnold
  19. I know.... right ?
  20. I'm not talking about overturning the law. I'm talking about enforcing the law as it is law to be enforced. Not the law to be enforced because of political belief. There's been a lot of picking and choosing as of the past several years based on emotion and not what law reads. THAT is scarier than actually overturning the law. There's over ten million examples of broken laws in the country over the last four years. One or two questionable deportations is all of a sudden a reason to start redefining the writen law ? I have more belief in what I see in front of a Home Depot than in the thoughts of a ranking official who can't explain what a woman is.
  21. I've never seen this truck in person. I can tell you the guy is meticulous. It's probably a nice truck. He's had a couple other nice Superliners that he worked . 200K nice ? IDK about that.
  22. Supreme Court doesn't make law. When The Court ignores the law, that's supposed to be it ? Truth is you or I can't change law. We're supposed to vote and our represenatives are supposed to take over from there to make law. The Legislative Branch is supposed to do that. Somehow ??? doesn't end up working like that. Myself ??? I'd rather have the Maryland dad on another continent than be paying for someone's student loan they didn't pay a nickle on in years. The whole system is so far removed from what it was intended it's not going to straighten out in any of our lifetimes.
  23. Says some goodies on it from Antrim. For whatever that's worth.
  24. This cat don't need no civics lesson 😉
  25. Yes yes.....and what was it 40 some years later The Supreme Court decided to overturn R v W ? The Supreme Court has become too political and often interprets what they want of The Constitution as opposed to enforcing The Constitution. Point is... they're not absolute as far as being correct on everything.
