  1. Stupid as it sounds, looks like you got lucky. Good idea about the injectors, be nice to see if #6 was puke'n fuel and washed it down to get the piston starting to seize . Seems it should have smoked if that was the case though.....and it sounded good in the video . Something made it happen , that picture looks like exactly what Glen mentioned earlier.
  2. Cool 😎
  3. That's good news. There's not a real lot to those engines, but if it's not available it may as well be a Rolls Royce Merlin I still think it had some rot from sitting. I remember the video, it sounded fine.
  4. That truck looks to have chrome drive plates 😍 I'd have loved to see that when it was in service.
  5. I'm hoping all it really needs is some new cylinder kits ( as far as damaged parts go ) Any luck the rest will respond to new bearings and bushings and such. Couple numbers (603) 642-8483 (Mahoney's) I don't even know if they're still around. (603) 496-8802. I think this guy was a Jones (?) Going back a few years they had connections to older Cummins parts. Like I said, I'm not even sure if either are still around.
  6. 😳

    Guys used to file every other tooth off the synchronizers in the four speeds. What they referred to as a " crash box "
  8. You're a better man than me actually having the balls to say what I was actually thinking.
  9. Joey, I never realized.... he's young blood too.
  10. If that doesn't lure him in , IDK what will
  11. Yep I'm minutes from the biden expressway
  12. Probably less than 2 hours up the NEX I'm all 4 lane to the last half mile
  13. How long could it take ? Maybe a month (almost) ? I'm never gonna get to it at the rate I'm going
  14. Now I'm thinking weekend project (lol)
  15. Seems Vlad's a little chatty now that someone asked about him. If I had know that's all it would have taken, I'd have asked sooner. Was wondering where he was and if he was ok.
  16. I'm serious, but I never really expected you to come for one job. It's good things worked out the way they did for you, and I hope they continue to. I can assure you of one thing though, you'd have got a few good laughs while here. and we woulda ate good too
  17. Hey..... my offer still stands . You know... if you wanna come experience it all for a little bit yourself 😀
  18. Someone a while back spray painted all sorts of nice stuff on the concrete barriers along the president biden expressway (lol) It's funny hearing the guys on the CB too. Hardly anyone is on the CB anymore. They see those signs though and the chatter is like 1985
  19. From what I see. you need to be very young and not need a huge take home until you're there a few years... like ten (lol) by then you're in and I guess things get better then. IDK.. I personally haven't had a job since I was 25, don't think I could work anywhere now let alone Penn DOT
  20. Never applied myself, but I hear things
  21. That's a true story
  22. Seems anyone with enough brains to be good at any political position is also smart enough not to get involved. Common sense and moderation of things would do wonders. I'm not getting my hopes up though.
  23. You're not funny (lol) It's ponderous some of the stuff I see around here. IDK if you realize ,but every day (almost) I get to drive past or on the biden expressway. Oh, by the way, Penn DOT was just dispatched to remove the part on the sign someone added that said " road to ruin "
  24. Well ..... Fetterman is brain damaged (for real) He has lots of money behind him. Really isn't fit to run a bingo game in a nursing home as far as I'm concerned. but...... it'll be a typical Democratic thing. All the big cities will all vote for him . I honestly have no idea how it's gonna play out, but I'm not voting for the dope.
