hopefully ALL those reading won't let work over take your life as I did. 24=36 hrs no sleep for 15===+ yrs. only to end up on operating table having "power plant " removed and repaired . waking up with a red pillow handed to you with statement of "If you feel a sneeze coming grip the pillow tight as a SOB , " if not = sorry. no . care of time, Family is first. -
THANK YOU . believe it's past that point now.

I will NEVER laugh at any one :but with them . as I always say "don't laugh at those broke down on the side of the highway !:for it may be you they are laughing at next mile down the road!!" "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE ". not me . You were not wrong just misinterpreted the sentence.

YOU WERE NOT WRONG SIR '' just slightly confused by today's confusing world ..

If the memory was any good at all ;; that would be one heck of a topic in it's self ::: the road call I did !!! steering box on KW in ice storm upstate NY;; alternator at truck stop maryland , middle of the night/morning " something wrong the trailer wheels" REALLY they are not there !!. chain up axle / load tandems on my flat bed !! todays world its the million dollar wreckers that just tow eveything in !!! back then == make t work.

as with every day life moments' use the clutch /don't use ALL depends on the moment at hand. you have a quad or you have a 5 speed;;;; you have 50k or you have 175K on; life's challenges differed moment to moment. after many trials; I could take a duplex or tri and shift with one hand ; ALL depended on the MOMENT.!!

it's NOT all I did yesterday : it's "my accomplishments yesterday were """" part of retirement is == take the wrist watch off and take one moment at a time.. -
like many trucks of days gone by; the conventional Brockways had that bold stance /look. had a neighbor back then who worked for Guyott oil in new haven ct. I rode with him (don't tell) on occasion. long nose conventional == 3?? , WITH the brockway cab NOT the ack cab. still around I hope to make trip to cortland this year. time will tell.

agree with all stated above. have seen loose valve seats create the problems indicated. the fun days of building your own

THANK YOU ; unfortunately the "power plant "inside was rebuilt back in '15; never read the fine print for the warranty. one of my tee shirts states "body parts original , power plant rebuilt". shows picture of half engine/half heart. I stress all the time to all You "youngsters "::: take care of yourselves .sure you can lift that brake drum by hand ; not use the jack.40-50 yrs go by fast ,you loose count of how many drums lifted:: the back will remind you EVERY DAY . think I went of topic "AGAIN"

do it the Polish way when decisions are difficult ;; paint three on driver side green. three on passenger side black! you can only see one side at a time. also entering the senior years .you will forget why you walked over to the passenger side in the first place !!LOL -
ride south to see my sister and have coffee with some BMT members looks a little dim at the moment. hopeful appointment with cardio DR very soon . we all have a start and finish date.

GO FOR IT RECECIVE WHAT YOU WORKED AND EARNED.

and I thought the Polacks used a lot of letters. LOL

a little bit more info and as requested some pictures help a lot. (1) being firetruck LS 85, is this a hobby truck which sits mostly? (2) new batteries charged fully BEFORE installation?? (3) does it have a master disconnect and still loosing charge ? (4) alternator needs power to make power , generator makes it's own :: if I remember correctly. (5) what does the charging circuit show gauge wise when unit running ??
-
this site is without a doubt for truck related conversation!! there are ALSO forums listed here which are NOT truck related. the trump forum section is like the rest;; an area to express ideas(not opinions; since opinions are like ass-les :: everyone has one). I do believe there are sites out there which are strictly politics. check some of the other forums here , you will find a mixed variety. the trump topic just happens to be latest one. NOT THE ONLY ONE .
