tjc transport

yes. marine, off road, gensets. actually the cummins 1710 was used in a few on road trucks way back when real trucks ran the road.

Cummins or Cat

the B-815 i drove had the sticks cut 4 inches off the floor so you could one hand shift the quad box. the 49 L190 international with a quad box had 12 inch or so sticks. same thing with that, one hand shift.

my X15's are so quiet i can just barely hear then running with the windows closed. the air compressors on the other hand are noisy bartstards!!!

when my granite started doing that, we noticed slight wear on the spring tips. and i was getting a strange clunk on acceleration. after taking it apart we found the centering pins in the box rubbers were sheared off, letting the front axle wander about 3/4 inch

same here. three shifters with knobs 3 inches from the roof are compensating for a small male member in my opinion. and than having to row throw all the gears............when empty.......... is just stupid our lowboy has an 18 speed. and 99% of the time i run it as an 8 speed......... or less.

Good to hear she who must be obeyed is doing betterer

where is the 53 LTL??

Paul, Scania stopped sending trucks to the states for sale was back in 92 because they did want to meet EPA emissions standards person CAN import one, but the cost for shipping and meeting EPA emissions standards make it not worth the cost.

no worries there Matt!!! i would never do something like that after a build on a troublesome issue like you had. ........ we only did it to each other on silly things. the trans deal with Al was that he was always pulling the trans to tinker with it, even if it worked perfectly. he liked to wire whistler bottle rockets to spark plug wires on my race car in the pits at the track.

Joey, not only did i do it to my buddy Al on a few of his race cars, i would also do it to the lead mechanic in the body shop after i sold out to my partner. with Al it was extra special because he would not hear it until he was roasting a set of tires off the back of the car while i was sitting in the shop watching, trying not to spill my beer. and i get him every single time. 😁

my favorite thing to do after trans install was zip ties on the driveshaft.....sometimes with a 1/4 20 nut on the end to hit the floorboards.

miller lite.... yuck!!! if i drink beer, it is Pabst Blue Ribbon.

very interesting. i saw that exact same picture being use the other day in a for sale ad for a 68 R600. i will have to see if i can find it again.

he DID NOT FALL. global warming shifted the stage out from under him.......

philips tip puts a swirl in it, straight blade is used for extra sugar.

i would like to know where these new steering wheel holders are taking their drivers tests. we are having AT LEAST one roll over wreck per day here in New Jersey. and yesterday an 18 year old made an illegal left through the center divider instead of going through the jug handle, rite into the path of a loaded triaxle. by multiple witness accounts, less than 50 foot from the truck doing 45 mph. girl was killed instantly, and put the steers of the truck in the air loosing steering. both vehicles finally stopped in a gas station on the far corner of the intersection, but not before taking out 1 pump, 1 canopy column, and the attendant kiosk

They dont care Bob. Smash this one, I'll just get another one from insurance company.

i am glad you added that YET. 🤣

Well, I got my first "battle scar" in 17 years. A car made an illegal left turn from the right turn lane in my blind spot, and ended up across my front bumper. I pushed it about 100 feet before i heard tires screaching around 30 mph and saw the front poke out on he drivr ide of the hood. i stopped, and the car took off like a bat out of hades into oncoming traffic, then ran a red light and dissapeared. front bumper is scraped up, and tweaked both sides into the hood extensions instead of 1 inch away from them, passenger tire is stuffed, passenger side front of hood has tire scrape on it,and license plate is bent. aparently the car was rolling over, because this scuff on the hood frm the front tire is close to 3 foot off the ground. and I have full video of it happening.

agreed they can take the "golden years" and stick it where the sun don't shine. artyritis is no ones friend. i have to have a coffee mug with handle anymore, because a regular toss away cup usually falls rite through my hands.

that looks good Joey

the rain the past two months has mad for an extra heavy crop of pollen this year. and it has been kicking my asterisk. so friday morning i took a generic for claritan..and had an allergic reaction to it... brought on a nasty bout of vertigo. took 3 days of meclizine to get rid of it. i think the 20 hours of sleep yesterday into this morning really helped..

not for me. i have been sick since friday afternoon. finally feeling better today.

yup. a trivia fact: Pat Benatar started singing opera, and took training in classic opera before switching to rock. she had (or has) a 5 octave range
