not really. hearing aids help you hear better....but if your ears are dead, hearing aids will not work. for that, they need to do implants.

maybe the system was doing an update. i see that every now and then. i was busy most of the day and just logged on first time since around 11am and had no problem.

Ford has had so many problems with the knob shifter and keyless ignition, they are going back to shift lever and key ignition.

i got Philips HearLink minirite TR. https://www.hearingsolutions.philips.com/en-us/hearing-aids/hearing-aids/minirite-t-r $1,600 at Costco with hearing test, setup, and monthly service included. 3 year warranty, with i time no questions asked replacement for loss/damage in first two years.

my problem was the opposite. background noise blocked out close conversations. they are currently set to block background noise around 50% so i hear everything about equal.

i got a power switch to turn them off when idiots approach! 👍

my therapist tells me GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!!!!

i got my new ears yesterday. it is amazing what i WAS NOT hearing. tv volume is now in 9, yesterday morning it was on 32-34. i hear the furnace, hot water heater, and refrigerator turn on and off. and the floors in the 94 year old house creak as i walk around. i can also hear cars driving past the house from inside too.. on the bad side, i can no longer ignore she who must be obeyed because i did not hear what she said....

you have a dirty mind Joey. 😁

i like me some chikum salad. much healthier and tastier than tuna.

boy... and i thought i was the only stupid one who engages mouth before putting brain into gear!!!

mrs mower DOES NOT creep this site. she does however pay certain moderators to divulge secrets told here.

not only is Mike gone, but Michelle passed away last year too.

i was teaching my nephew to weld. full protective gear. and still got a sparkler of slag down the front of my shirt. burned all the way down to my belt, because i could not rip everything off fast enough. about 1/2 hour later he set his jeans on fire. no one ever claimed our family were rocket scientists.

it is just a shame that that truck is 3000 miles away. it is probably closer to Vlad than it is to me. i would gladly grab it. but not at that distance.

Back than heater delete was common. My 65 falcon came from Florida and had heater delete. No heat/ defrost/vent controls in dash at all. All it had was the fresh air boxes under the dash with a door you opened for fresh air on floor area .

he cant post pictures cause it is too bright and "blinds" the camera. 😁

sunoco here. got paid $1.75 per hour, and was aloud to use the lift in the garage if there were no cars to be fixed.

Paul, the 1-71 pump engines only ran 1,200 RPM and made around 15 HP or so.. sounds more like a hit n miss engine at idle, and more like a single cylinder briggs and stratton at speed than a Detroit. on edit: i just watched the video. that one has an electric start. my friends was hand crank only.

Many many moons ago a friend 2 towns over had a 1-71 powered pump on the farm for water. It ran pretty much nonstop for 50 years, only shutting off for oul changes.. And it still purred and used very little oil when the farm was sold and warehouse was built there. There was a line of people trying to get it, but the builder scrapped it instead.

agreed. when i ran heavy loads we never worried about axle weight. mainly because i always had at least 3 escorts and 2 state troopers, and NEVER went over 25MPH. my average weight was 210,000 LBS with width up to 14 foot. longest i ever ran was 60 foot back then. these days i run 75 foot with the triaxle and trailer, or 90 foot with the lowboy.

in 2017 i paid $21,000 for my 2014 F250 4X4 with the 6.2 gas engine. i used it for 5 years and put 50,000 miles on it when the dealer offered me $26,000 for it in trade on the exploder. the truck at it's best got 9 mpg around town (under 45mph) and 15 on the highway the one time i had it over 50mph.. cruise set at 65 for 260 miles. the exploder gets 19-20 mph around town under 45, and 30 on the highway cruise set at 65.

Rowdy, your description of the auto trans is a perfect explanation of the eaton fuller ultrashift and too small of an engine. the ultra shift uses a computer controlled clutch. step on the throttle releases the clutch, step on the brake applys the clutch. put someone in them that does not know how to drive and they can tear the clutch out of the truck by trying to "powerbreak" to raise rpm's for better takeoff at red light. a friend had 4 of them, convinced by dealer they were good. 400hp engine and 10 speed ultrashift. within 4 years he sold them all and replaced with cummins 505hp and allison trans. he now only buys 565 hp cummins after taking mine for a drive. loaded or empty my 565 with allison is faster than most cars off red lights, which is helpful at one quarry i run to where cars pick the left lane and then cut off trucks to make a right turn across the highway. i leave hanging in the left lane, and the trucks behind me stay close enough that the cars have to stop in the left lane and wait for the right lane to be truck free to make their turn

hell, even my 56 B-815 had a dynatard.

i have not adjusted brakes in about 13 years now. the boss goes over the trucks every night when they get parked. the T880's have self adjusting brakes. the 2016 had 125,000 miles on it when sold, the 2020 had 75,000. the tandem had 8,200, and the newest triaxle has 4600 on it. none of them have ever had brake adjustments...... mainly because we use engine brake and not foot brakes.
