  1. nothing is being said or done for people in the south because they mostly vote republican.so the demonrat politicians and their biased media say and do nothing for the southern peoples.
  2. probably thinks good! black men are finally learn how to make money off whitey.
  3. on the 05 granite it was an air pressure regulator feed line leaking. replaced the line and the next day the compressor threw a rod through the side dumping 3 gallons of oil out before i noticed the oil leak.
  4. sorry for your loss. as Paul said, that is an R model. they were made from 1966 to early 90's with around 360,000 being made over that span. here is one http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/Ragman517/2008 July-Dec/100_1983.jpg
  5. when they say "billionaires" they are not talking about them selves. they are talking about all the normal middle class "billionaires". you know, the ones that are living paycheck to paycheck trying to feed their families and keep enough gas in the family car to get to work and back.
  6. 25 thousand Bob,, not 25 hundred
  7. I used to chain up for traction in the muddy farm fields..
  8. It has been so long ago since I was 37. my twins are 13 years older than you.
  9. i am 55 years in trucks, and last i counted am rite around 3 million miles with no chargeable accidents. but i have also been local run(under 400 miles per day) for the past 40 years or so.
  10. so far up here in joisey we have only had mild winds, rain, rain, and more rain. been raining here since friday afternoon.
  11. yup, bosses father in law switched all his trucks to 11-24's as 12-24's are getting impossible to find.
  12. i dont even need to do that! just put the onan 17.5 KW diesel generator with the 80 gallon built in tank on the back of the pickup.
  13. my brother has an electric mustang. summer range is 280 mile, winter range is around 175. apparently batteries discharge faster when cold. he lives 15 miles east of newark airport in nj. he can drive to atlantic city, but needs to recharge to get back home. but he stays at borgata hotel when there, and they offer complimentary recharging.
  14. electric IS NOT the way to go for trucking at the current time, as technology is not ready, no matter what big brother says. on the other hand, the hybrid technology these guys are using IS the way to go. an electric truck would have left me dead on the road friday... why? because i did 390 miles friday. the technology is not available yet to made a truck that can run 80,000 lbs for 400 miles. coca cola ordered 120 electric T680 day cab tractors last year from the local kenworth dealer. took delivery of the first 15 and canceled the order because the trucks could not even handle the 120 mile per day use without charging...even though they were supposed to be able to handle 250 miles without charging.
  15. a 4.56 gear truck will do 80 with no problem, but you will be up around 2100-2200 RPM with 12/24.5 tires.
  16. and you can get eup's that will not fire at cold idle, but work fine once the engine is warmed up, or rpm's are raised. i had one on the 05 427 like that.
  17. who is the young lady trying to smuggle the two cantaloupes??
  18. No idea Joe, never used one, just saw it being used a few times in yards.
  19. i have never seen it on a mixer, but have seen it on dump trucks trucks what that haul a trailer. it is used to position the truck to hook up the trailer.
  20. it sounds like you have a good solid plan for getting it home. i wonder if there is still crud/crap in the fuel tank that is plugging up the in tank pickup? when running, it picks up the crap and plugs the pickup. then when engine off the crud falls off the pickup and restarts the cycle. i would carry a bunch of fresh filters for the ride home if the pickup and inside of the tank looks clean.
  21. he last logged on Feburary this year.
  22. yup, two sister trucks. 1958 B-21's, serial numbers 9 and 10.
  23. back around 87 or 88 one of the large local manufacturers send 10 of their security vehicles to auction. 75 C10 short box step side 4X4 with 250 six and 3 on the tree. no ac, no radio. all but two had under 30,000 miles on them. the two that had aftermarket radios put in still only had under 45,000 miles on them. red, with black bench seat. all 10 sold for $250, and the same person took all ten when the option was offered on first truck sale.
