  1. i would say jc whittney add on electric window winder, not air.
  2. i would say engine is probably 237.
  3. i would have to agree, 2 men can swap the cab and have it road ready in one long day.
  4. there was a mercedes race truck a few years ago that had twin V8 turbo diesels in it.
  5. i would say it depends on how bad the rust is. maybe post a few pictures of some of the items you have questions on so we can see how bad it is ?
  6. we use dot call them drop knives. no idea what their real name is.
  7. i ended up replacing the ground with a wire bolted from the dash frame to a wire i soldered on the printed circuit board. it had something to do with where the ribbon wire plug went into the cluster.
  8. report i read yesterday had the truck driver saying the guy was watching a harry potter movie, and it was still playing after the car stopped and the guy was dead by the time he got to what was left of the car.
  9. when mine went out it was a bad ground wire in the ribbon cable.
  10. this has been rumored for close to 20 years now on FTE, the largest ford truck forum in the world. and every time it comes up a ford representative says it is just a rumor.
  11. put an amp gauge in the circuit and see what amps it is drawing. then remove the resister from the circuit and wire motor direct to switch. i bet you will see higher amps with resister in line, telling you the resister is bad.
  12. you forgot one part. if you do not do what we tell you to do, homeland security will flood your neighborhoods with agents carrying the 600 million AR-15's and 9 billion rounds of ammunition we already horded and force you do do what we say at gunpoint.
  13. looks like a ripper to me. used for breaking up uneven hard pack so it can then be leveled and rolled.
  14. yup, the very large sheepsfoot roller with vibratory drum towed behind a big truck. weighs around 25 ton. the small knobs combined with the vibrator crumbles the thin concrete into bite sized chunks. you know you did a days work after towing one of them around for 10-12 hours. that only works on less than around 6 inch thick or very old concrete. the newer concrete or thicker stuff is just too strong, and needs a hydraulic hammer to break it up.
  15. a lot of companies use drill rigs to drill test pits to see how deep bedrock is, or for core samples to see what the makeup of the road bed soil is. one of the companies in the yard where we park has over 50 drill rigs that get used for just that. i go out 4-5 times a year on average in a crash truck to do shoulder closures for the drill rigs.
  16. that is a drill rig. a hydraulic hammer on the boom of an excavator is used to break the concrete road slabs.
  17. neat little toy. i heard of them, but never saw a picture of one.
  18. depends on the body size. here on the east coast we usually run 12 foot body on around a 13 foot frame length behind the cab.
  19. i got asked for a twit card once, and told the guy i don't need one. then showed him my federal id which gave me access to everywhere without escort. even in the fuel tank farm of the international airports. the $8 per hour security monkey was not happy that they had to let me go on my way without one of them escorting me. especially after the episode i had with one of the "escorts" that tried taking me under the wing of a 747. i stopped 3 inches away from the engine, and refused to move the truck. port authority police were ready to arrest me when i pointed to the engine and the idiot escort directly in front of me. after that one they left me to go how i wanted as long as i was not crossing active runways.
  20. unfortunatly i can not find it now, but i saw a graph yesterday with shooting deaths per president. reagan was around 9 bush senior was around 11 clinton was 23 bush junior was around 13 obumper is over 300 and i still say all these shootings are committed by plants by the demoncratic party to advance their plan for total disarmament of the law abiding american people.
  21. the fromt page of the hew yawk post and daily news directly blames the NRA .....AGAIN. funny though, that an organization gets blamed for actions that none of their members ever commit.
  22. figured so. these idiots think they can "go shopping" anywhere without fear of getting caught. glad they got him. now to see if they will make him pay you back for all the damage he did and for the cab you can no longer use.
  23. and the gay community is saying it is not the guns fault, it is the person that fired the gun. and are calling for all gays to arm themselves so they can defend themselves. even the gay community knows gun free zones don't work. i hope every single gay person sends a loud and clear message to hitlery and obumper and votes for trump.
  24. these rectal orifices will not stop until no one but criminals have guns. disarmament is not the answer. just ask any country where it was done. england, france, australia, germany. npw look at the countries where everyone MUST OWN A GUN. swiss and isreal? no or very little crime. the answer is simple. gun free zones do not work, and criminals are cowards and will not attack someone when they know they are armed and will shoot anyone attacking them.
  25. isis claims the shooter was one of their own, and obumper said: Obama On Orlando Shooting: 'To Do Nothing Is A Decision As Well' maybe now the gay community will open their eyes, stop supporting the goat fornicators, and tell the demoncrats enough is enough. you can't call them "refugees" when the only ones coming here are 18-30 year old males. call them what they are, TERRORISTS!!!
