  1. from what i was told be the guy behind him, the loaded 70,000 lbs tandem actually jumped almost 12 inches off the ground when the trans went into 2 gears. the driver was not the brightest lightbulb in the package and could not figure out why the truck was not driving anymore. that was his third truck demo derby in one year. it took me close to 45 minutes to get it on the lowboy and off the road. had to get a 966 cat loader to push it up on the trailer.
  2. only among friends that will use what you say later, and at the most embarrassing time for you!!! 😁
  3. i used to freak out dump men when backing up half mile long highway ramps at 45 mph.😁
  4. ok. i have heard of that one, but never saw or drove one. but that was how i would run the 88 "R" with the 300 and twin stick 5 speed when i had a heavy load and needed to get moving on an upgrade. 2 low and 1 high were about a half gear apart, and really helped starting off on a hill at 100 ton.
  5. and also happily single now. i never replaced the money spending blood sucking leech after the last one left.
  6. 35.. you aint nuttin but a baby still!!!! 😁 i was draggin a 32 foot trailer behind a 49 international L190 down the road 18 years before you was born!!!!
  7. how about detonating trans and both rears "speed shifting" at 45 MPH, and bending shift forks, so the trans engages two gears at once. the results aint pretty!!!!!
  8. sure would. when people say 7 speed i think of the straight 7. i never saw an air shift 7 speed trans
  9. chicken.... it is obvious who wears the pants in your house!!!! 🤣
  10. my niece posted a short video of her grandparents house that now belongs to her and her brother. they us it as a vacation house. it is in Ft Meyers. security cameras are 8 foot up below the gutters. inside cameras were out, along with 3 of the 4 outside cameras. but the one that was still working showed the water lapping at the camera, then halfway up the lens cover before dying. her brother has not got down there yet to see if there is anything left of the house. my aunt and uncle's new house is on a lagoon in Naples. their floor is 10 foot above the lagoon. they did not get any water inside. but their old house they sold 3 years ago is gone. washed away into the swamps. my cousins in Ft Meyers are MIA. they do not have cell phones, so we can not get in contact with them. but they have been there over thirty years, so i am sure they took off as soon as the warnings went out are hanging out in Miami until they get the safe to go back home message..
  11. i don't know, the yellow "B" with "L" cab and V8 emblems looks pretty sweet too!
  12. looks real good. what are final plans, move pipes behind sleeper and slide sleeper forward 6 to 8 inches?
  13. is that a dummy rear axle? it looks like it is an air lift tag axle. i wonder if that rig used to be a single axle and had the frame lengthened and a "tag" axle added.
  14. almost sounds like the input shaft of the trans broke
  15. you need to download it to see it.
  16. that is a repeat of the famous "ruin black people credit for life" started by a fairly new congressman named barak obama back in 2008 who felt low income families should be able to own homes, even though they had no income to pay the loans.
  17. your truck already has air ride cab. as JoJo suggested, check the shocks and cab leveler valve and rods. they are probably shot after 22 years.
  18. i remember when the first summit on "global warming" was SUPPOSED to be held in south africa, but had it be canceled. it snowed there for the fist time in over 100 years and transportation ground to a halt because no one knew how to drive in snow.
  19. he has not logged on in over 5 1/2 years, so don't hold your breath waiting for an answer.
  20. that would never happen here in joisey. they take your CDL away at 90.
  21. there are some might fine looking rigs in them pictures!!!
  22. i have over 300 there. others can see them, but if i want to i have to pay.
  23. Photo bucket of poop is pay to play. You can not even see your pictures unless you pay
  24. if you are referring to the picture in the first post, that is heat only. the AC unit had rectangular vents.
