  1. my bet is it has a salvage title after the insurance company paid it off and the owner bought it back. now is trying to sell it instead of repairing it.
  2. if that thing is anything like the sterling sweeper we just got rid of, it will be a royal pain in the asterisk to get in and out of. and it looks an awful lot like the sterling cab style.
  3. actually Mrs, i was aware of that fact. i was also a huge fan of Paul Harvey, and then his son. back when they were still on the air in nu yawk. we would all turn the radio to 77 ABC at noon time to hear his "rest of the story"
  4. nope. best i can tell his last activity here was 09/22/2020. i sent him an email asking if everything was ok.
  5. their heads would explode!!
  6. could be rabbit, could be... i am on 4 different ford forums. which one do you have in mind? my bet is FTE.
  7. i blow it out. then brush it off it with a soft bristle brush dipped in a cleaning agent solution like simple green or that purple stuff. this will break down any oily crap stuck to the core. then if possible rinse with clean water and let dry before reassembling.
  8. on both my 99 RD and the 05 granite, just cleaning the evaporator coil mad the difference of running the fan on high for so so AC with dirty coil to only running it on low for super cold in the cab.
  9. they are big events south of the border too.
  10. no, wo don't have to worry about roos. instead we have stupid people playing on the dark sections of highways at night dressed in dark clothes. they are even dumber than roos, who at least know to get out of the way of vehicles coming at them.
  11. the snow thing was for a snow plow mount. you remove the front bumper and mount a heavy steel plate in it's place for the plow mount. the plow would hit the bumper if it was full length.
  12. So when they hit something, the bumper would not go into the tire and flatten it.
  13. when clicking on the links i get this: Sorry! We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Contact Us
  14. really hard to believe anything in the ad, since this is being sold by a dealer simply to flip for big money. truck model BGIT? really? V6? really? ac don't work? really? new york historic tags on truck, and maine tags on trailer, pictures probably taken in new york, but for sale in omaha nebraska. while it is a nice looking truck, i bet it is going to be a BIG can of worms.
  15. ain't that that russian car?
  16. very good point Vlad. when i got my 79 F350 the guy said "it would not upshift and needed a trans" it only had 21,000 miles on it. no way a 2 year old truck with 21k miles needs a trans. i took it for a ride, paid him his asking price, and drove a block away. popped the hood and smacked the downshift lever real hard to get it off full throttle. easy throttle for the 20 mile ride home and it shifted fine. the next day, i was looking it over and found a tree limb wedged in between the trans and the downshift rod. at full throttle it would jam the rod and keep it in downshift position. 234,000 miles later and it still shifts perfectly.
  17. yes. as options. air ride seat, air ride cab, ac, telescoping steering column and other goodies. i have seen some older R models though with no air ride, no ac, and others with everything.
  18. it may be something stupid like low fluid level. i have seen simple things like that cause supposed intelligent people spend big bucks searching for a repair.
  19. yup. the ENDT-865 is a Mack V8 engine, not a Detroit. 325 HP and 1100 Ft LBs torque.
  20. when i was young i thought i was hot snot when i got the 79 DM800 with a 237. that truck would run circles around the B models.
  21. i aint old school.. just old. and i agree, triple sticks scrapping the roof are stupid. but them supertruckers like to show off. i am the same with transmissions too. ran just about all of them at one time or another. favorite was the 18 speed though. plenty of gears to put you where you need to be. you don't have to use all of them though. when empty, i would usually run 3,5,7,9, and over. i am opposite with the automatic though. got one in the 2020 Kenworth and love it, especially for milling and paving. when milling and paving, i can get out of the truck after a 12-14 hour day and my left knee is no longer the size of a basketball.
  22. Abuse of a patient would have been smacking him in the head with an oxygen bottle for spitting on you. Putting a pillow case over his head was preventing him from spreading possible infectious diseases
  23. Same here, glad you walked away uninjured.
