    same with my 21 5 liter 10 speed F150. it runs better and get better gas mileage on the "cheap gas" than it does on the 65 cent per gallon premium.

    yup, the last truck i drove with a front brake shut off switch was a 79 White 9000. only in 79 it was called a wet road/dry road switch. and it was air controlled. use dry road( all brakes working) or "wet road" for no front brakes for wet road conditions.

    same here Bob. when i started driving, almost all the heavy shovels in the quarries were high voltage electric cable. there was one sand pit that still had a few steam shovels, and steam powerplant to supply the "newer" electric shovels.

    i have never gotten flu shots pneumonia shots, the jab or any of that other crap..... they keep on pushing me to get it, but i very rarely get sick so i dont get them. everyone else that gets the shots get whatever the shot is supposed to prevent, so why bother?

    you are so lucky!!! we are limited to availability of ethanol free gas here in the communist state of nu joisey. for me, the closest station is 55 miles away

    Vlad, over here we used to use the 60 tin 40 lead for plumbing. now plumbers solder has to be lead free, and the composition has switched to 95% tin and 5% antimony

    not phony covid shots. population reduction poison shots, sold as safety shots by the government to see how gullible people are. and unfortunately big brother found out most people will believe anything the government tells them.

    no issues here pal, your english writing is better than a lot of the people living here. unfortunately here is the United States, graduating school without learning ANYTHING has been the standard for the past 15-20 years now. we are producing a population of illiterate morons that want everything given to them for no effort expended.

    i have been a believer in engine brakes since i got the new 85 dm800. i almost never use brakes, even when loaded. i can bring 80,000 lbs to 15 mph with just the engine brake then use the foot brake for the final stop. my last mack still had the same brake shoes on it with 265,000 miles when we sold it. same with the Kenworths. the T800 had 320,000 miles on it and the original shoes were still good, but we changed them when replacing the "S" cam rollers before selling it.

    normal solder is lead and tin. electronics solder has a flux core, plumbers solder does not and needs flux added to the surface before applying the solder to make it stick.

    i am also a firm believer of do it rite and you will only have to do it once. when running the body shop, i would tell potential customers there is only 2 ways to do things, the rite way and the wrong way. good repairs are very rarely cheap, and cheap repairs are very rarely good. we only do things the rite way, and that is not the cheap way.

    this is a Mack truck site. for questions about that car, you would be better off asking in a European car forum, as they are sold over there not here in the United States.

    20 in my mind, 70 on the calendar. but there are times my body reminds me it is closer to 170.
  18. tjc transport
    yes, you CAN kill them. you just have to know how to properly dispose of a body where you will not get caught, and it can never be found.

    Ford was in 64 with the introduction of the "green dot" C-4 trans. GM was around the same time.

    i was talking to a younger "mechanic" a few years ago about tow/push starting cars with auto trans. he said no way, cant be done!!! he just so happened to have a 59 Pontiac Catalina as a daily driver. so i challenged him. "take the battery out, and have your wrecker driver push us up to 35 MPH." they both accepted the challenge. at 35, i told him to turn the key to run, and drop the trans from neutral to drive. he was amazed when the engine started. back then, the auto trans had a live pump connected to the output shaft of the trans unlike cars today with the pump connected to the input shaft of the trans.

    interesting to see your 90's still use our 86 and older dash.

    i would not be surprised one bit if the mounting hardware manufacture was outsourced to a grade school in china. they have no concerns about child labor laws or quality control.
