By the way, I was reading a truck paper a week or so ago and it said 55% of owners reported problems in new engines last year,up from 25% the year before,before the newest emissions laws took effect.Said the engines with the fewest reported problems was Detroit Diesel.

In my neck of the woods, the drivers of Detroit Diesels would be less inclined to report problems due to the inability to make the language...

If I remember correctly you have to take just about everything off to get it in and out. There are 3 10mm bolts in the flange on the pipe holding it to the back of the water pump assembly, take the small hose connected to the stub on the same pipe loose, you may need to pull the coolant filter head too. It's kind of a trick to get it out, you have to twist it just right and slide the hose up as much as you can. You may want to disconnect the battery so you don't arc anything on the alternator.

All while standing on your head, one hand tied behind your back and reciting your ABC's backwards after naming all 50 state capitals in reverse alphabetical order.

i came thru my favorite beaver area, on 15

What...whoa...!

Used to be a guy around here who'd rubberband one of his daughter's barbies onto the dog...

Bet he's a container jockey too.

Heard an interesting fundraising angle today on my once in a while venture onto the AM side of the radio...

Since they sell naming rights to just about anything nowadays...why not sell naming rights to hurricanes...?

Saw this the other day in Ottawa, IL. It's the Laborer's Union Local out protesting the use of 'scab' labor on work being done at a veternary clinic there. I saw it and couldn't help but laugh and when I look at the picture I took, it's even funnier. Coinciding with this giant rat, they've got a former taxi with 'rat patrol' painted on it. Quite comical.

Since there are many on here far wiser than I, I usually post non-sensical remarks and what not that doesn't bring a whole lot to the table...here's some more...a picture I took while torching built up asphalt out of my trailer. Usually there isn't much and when there is a nice dousching with diesel fuel takes care of it. But lately we've been hauling this god-awful sticky crappy crap. I hate it. Luckily my trailer is half-round and cleans out pretty well. Guys with flat bottom trailers are getting 'free' insulation/bedliners...

I had that problem with my CH when I bought it. The axle was offline...one side further back than the other...and it had a nice gangsta lean to the drivers side. Thought maybe it was a weak spring/busted center pin on the spring.

Turns out the shackles were shot and the frame was slightly tweaked. The spring shop put new springs, shackles and a short block under the drivers side spring.

It drives well, tracks straight and doesn't have any other weird things goin on.

That's entirely too early...or late.

Course when it comes time for titties and beer it's quite alright.

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's procrastination.

Procrastination is like masturbation...all you end up doing is screwing yourself...

Cracked because he's got peeterbilt wheels on it...

Check ebay, craigslist and so on. I'd imagine people de-bunk trucks more than trucks with bunks are built nowadays since a daycab sells better than a similar truck with a bunk.

Lemme see if I get this right...

ROTFLMFAO

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there. Too bad he doesn't have his own cell phone so he could've recorded it and posted the link to the youtube video on here.

I've always wanted to take a tour of Texas...maybe I'll apportion plate my truck if you've got a use for a 22' steel dump...

Well i was hoping at least to get 3200 with stock components. They want about 10 grand for a set of Jr's heads. I can get a cam ground for about 900 bucks, when i know what grind I need. That pump and injectors is gonna cost me 5800 bucks. O well its just money and I cant take with me.

This is all my competition. The red pete and the white international are brothers with hot CAT motors. And our 2 trucks are the white MH and the old tired yellow R Model.

Looks like those two guys with the high rpm trucks need to be bumped up a class.

4,000+ rpm vs. stock trucks is pretty ignorant.

I dunno what will...

Lol...I don't care who you are that's funny right there.

I like this one too...

This is all very confusing... The last I saw this truck, it ended up in Julian,PA below Milesburg on old 220, it has been sitting there for at least 6 months nose in away from the road as if not for sale. Anyway I have decided to pass on the Superdog, because I just can't bear to part with my trusty ol CX that I have had since new. I would hate to break up the team. As Rob might say, it's cheaper to keep her...

Shee-it...that truck looks brand new anyway...damn that's sharp! Can't say I've seen too many buckets like that one though. What do you haul with it usually?

Come out here in a couple weeks when we start pickin corn, I bet we could fit 1200 bushels of corn in it.

Unless that's the picture you took right after you bought it and lettered it...

As a matter of fact it was.

In 2008 I hauled around 20 loads of dirt a day into that place for about 2 1/2 weeks and gravel for another week or so after that when they built their addition... I became pretty familiar with that god awful railroad crossing, well all of them really, on the way out to rt.6. The only way to do that was about 1 mph.

Ahh...yea, 30. Thanks to everyone...

The b-day was good...had family over today and cooked out, ate too much... Nice to see that I'm not quite too old to still get cards with cash in them though.

I bet the picture of that Marmon was taken in Marseilles, IL at Independence Tube...?

The auto transmission wouldn't be able to handle it.

I'da showed up late just to watch the attempt though...

Got a stick and MIG here and a shop just big enough to get the tractor in...plus high torque 3/4" gun and other assorted tools to make the hypothetical repair...but it's not a hypothetical 5 hour drive up here...

Unfortunately, I know not how to weld...bout the only thing I can't do I guess...
