Google has officially changed their maps application to "Gulf of America" lol.

Hmmm...

I think there is more of an "on paper", theoretical justification for positive ground in automotive applications. In a positive ground system the sacrificial anode is the vehicle itself (chassis and bodywork). In a negatively grounded system the wires, connections, and electrical components become the sacrificial anode(s). So in theory a positively grounded vehicle would be more likely to be "rotted out". However, with that being said the amount of chassis/body metal lost due to electrical corrosion in a positive grounded system would be miniscule whereas the same amount (mass of metal lost) of corrosion in a negative grounded system could have much more effect on the vehicle due to corroded connections and components as well as dissolved wires. With modern insulation materials and much more robust connections the "problems" associated with negative ground have become a moot point, however, there is still is a better theoretical justification for positive ground. When you consider the electromotive series of metals negative ground is incorrect. If I'm not mistaken GM or Chevy strong armed the society of automotive engineers to make "their" negative ground system the standard as Ford was using positive ground on their stuff. As I said White Motors was still using positive ground at least into the mid 70s if not longer.

With regards to any old, antique, and technical motor vehicle forum I have ever been on the most hotly contested topics always seem to revolve around electrical and charging systems. Its probably irrelevant to the truck in question but I'm fairly certain my 1967 R model originally had 2 6V batteries in series in each battery box to make 12V each. Then both battery boxes were connected in parallel to create enough amps at 12V to roll the starter over. It also had a 12V generator, which I still have. It was given to me by the previous owner. At some point in time he switched it to a 12V alternator and has 1 12V group 31 battery on each side now. If I'm not mistaken it was / still is positive ground. I'm not too sure as all the battery cables are black. I just make sure I hook new batteries up the same way the old ones came out. I've never been curious enough yet to wring it out and know for sure. I know for sure my 1974 White Road Boss is 12V positive ground and is all original. From my understanding White Motors was a big proponent of positive ground.

I think it gets mad if the file size is too large. I know a lot of times the actual size of an iPhone picture is pretty large. If your using an iPhone a quick work around is to select the photo you want upload then hit the share via email option and email the photo to yourself. It will ask you when you hit send if you want to send it actual, large, medium, or small. Usually if you hit medium it saves it down to a size that's small enough to upload here. Once you email it to yourself just open the picture from your inbox and resave it to your photo library. Theres probably a way to do it faster but that is what I usually do. I know its dumb but it works...

Yes I understand this caveat. However I'm not familiar enough to know if still is valid after the 2008 referendum which allows Greenland to ultimately decide their own fate if they no longer wish to be a part of Denmark. Trump tried this in 2019 and failed. Denmark has repeatedly stated its not for sale. Greenland has been a territory / autonomous country Denmark for nearly 600 years. 90% of the population are Inuit fisherman. If they choose their own path, I highly doubt they would choose to be a to become a state / territory of the USA. Sure Greenland has massive natural resources but who is to say the citizens there have any interest whatsoever to develop and extract them? My guess is they are completely content with their current arrangement and do not want to be bothered by foreign influence. Personally I think Trump is unnecessarily stirring a geopolitical pot and would be wise to drop it and focus on his domestic mandate.

Trump seems to be pretty serious about gaining control of Greenland? what are your thoughts on this? Do you think its possible?

Did / does Pacbrake make a compression brake for E7s?

OK. then 44mph on a 2100 rpm governor with 11R22.5 rubber. 🤣. I have to think that was slow even back when that truck was in its heyday. I forget the final O.D. ratio in the quadbox but my B81 had 9.00:1 rears and was good for about 42mph on 1200-24 tires maxed out on the governor but it was set up to move major weight. Unless going real local it wasn't even practical to bobtail to shows.

Assuming those new tubeless tires you put on are 11R22.5 (498rev/mile) then you have 5.73 rears and 5th gear is 0.78. In a duplex transmission hi is direct (1:1) and low is underdrive. So with all that said on a 2100 rpm governor you will be doing 56.5 mph theoretically on paper. If those are 11R24.5 then you will be a few mph faster at 2100 RPM. FYI.....

I would start by putting a muffler back on. Make the 90 degree bend with an elbow fitting. Connet the elbow fitting to the flex pipe under the bunk.

Are there hydraulic lines going in/out of it? Follow the lines and see where they end up.

Looks like it was a factory tandem since the build data says B67 "ST". The S means tandem. And T means factory tractor. Was probably lengthened for the pallet loader. A wheel base should be listed somewhere in your build information.

Ok my man. Sorry. OK.

I don't. 2011. Maybe you were living under a rock? Allow me: President Obama's Long Form Birth Certificate | whitehouse.gov From the linked press release from Obama's Whitehouse.gov page Therefore, the President directed his counsel to review the legal authority for seeking access to the long form certificate and to request on that basis that the Hawaii State Department of Health make an exception to release a copy of his long form birth certificate. They granted that exception in part because of the tremendous volume of requests they had been getting. Seems to me somebody must have been questioning it? I personally have never questioned it. Relax my man.

You stop your practical thinking old timey ways at once. Don't you see if one were to do that you would run the risk of sucking some minnows out of the ocean and killing them when they get sent through the pump. Don't you understand these helpless minnows have rights too?

Probably because one of Trumps Executive Orders was to declassify everything remaining on the JFK assassination as well as stuff on RFK and MLK assassinations. I think many people are of the opinion the CIA assassinated JFK because he would not get on board with Northwoods among other things.

Be really careful with that line of thinking. That is a real slippery slope to go down. That is the angle the anti gunners use to say the only firearms the 2nd amendment allows us to legally own are brown bess muskets. Its also the same line of thinking people who favor internet censorship and banning hate speech use because "freedom of the press" means ink pens and old manual printing presses because that's all they had in "those times".

To clarify I do know that The Republic of Ireland is a sovereign country located on the island or Ireland. However if you live in Northern Ireland, which is also on the island of Ireland you would be a part of UK, Great Britain, England???? So with that said your location, listed as "Ireland" is slightly ambiguous to a dumb American lol.

Would the additional 14,000 qualify it to be used for actual work or would that only be for historic/antique hobby use? LOL I sound like a "dumb American" but what currency does Ireland use? Euro? Actually that whole area geopolitically has always been very confusing to me and I never seem to remember the meaning of all the following terms: England, Great Britian, United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Republic of Ireland. Do you live in the country of Ireland or on the island of Ireland?

I don't think that is in question at all. Do you think the baby in the following scenario is a US Citizen? After all the mother is not a naturalized US citizen, and is not here through the legal process. BTW I'm not at all disagreeing with you. I am simply pointing out that something seemingly unquestionable ends up being clear as mud to the masses. If I'm not mistaken this was the premise of the questions surrounding Obama's citizenship. Something about his dad being a citizen of Kenya but his mom was a citizen of here on a visa and he was born on US soil? I can't recall the details.....

Section 1 sentence 1 of the 14th Amendment reads: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Hmm. I'm not a constitutional scholar but if you take that sentence to mean explicitly what it says, as written, black and white, and don't interpret any further into what it might mean, then I think by definition all children born to illegal aliens in this country are US Citizens. I think when speaking of the folks coming through Ellis Island back in the day who went through the legal process those are the ones that fall under the naturalized definition and now are citizens. Now maybe the question lies in "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". Again, I'm not Constitutional or legal expert but I really don't know what that means. Maybe Trump is angling to say since illegal aliens are in fact illegal then they and their children do not fall under the jurisdiction of the USA and hence the 14th amendment does not apply to them. I really don't know. A hypothetical plane on a direct flight from Caracas, Venezuela to Montreal, Canada has to make an emergency landing in Atlanta, Georgia. On that plane is a pregnant Venezuelan woman, who only has Venezuelan citizenship. While on the ground at the airport she goes into labor and is rushed to a hospital and her baby is born. I assume that baby is a US citizen but really the woman is neither here legally nor illegally. Actually by chance. Does a by-chance happening make the woman subject to the jurisdiction thereof? Is that baby a citizen of Georgia? He doesn't reside there, just happened to be born there. Personally I have no clue. But this is how these things unfold. 10 people can read the exact same sentence and you will get 10 different interpretations of what that sentence means. In the end the Supreme Court will probably decide whether or not the Executive Order is Constitutional or not based on the majority's interpretation of that sentence and possibly any legal precedent(s). The next 4 years is going to be extremely interesting, especially if your a legal scholar. I'm pretty skeptical Trump will actually be able to make any meaningful, long term changes to anything. Every single thing he does will get hamstrung in the courts and a Liberal Federal judge will step in at every opportunity.

One needs to consider who was running against him in the election to understand why PA voted for him. Below is a statement I made on 10/27/22 a few days prior to that election in the Best of Biden thread. Page 102: ^^^^^This. I can't believe that the Republican primary selected Dr. Oz as their candidate. If Dave McCormick would have won the primary this wouldn't even be a contest at this point. To many people don't believe Oz is genuine for many reasons. Its sad the guy was born and raised in Cleveland OH, lived summers in Turkey, lived and worked in New York City until his TV career started in 2009. Then lived in Southern California until now he all of a sudden is the best person they could come up with to represent PA in the US Senate. To be fair he did live in Philadelphia for a time in the mid 1980s while as a student attending the University of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately he is just a big of a quack as Fetterman. He is just wearing different rags. The governor's race is just as bad. Can't believe the Republicans came up with this guy. I will bet my lunch and this week's pay the Governor will remain a democrat because their candidate is very moderate and appeals to lots of people on the right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now here we are 2+ years later and they ran McCormick again and beat the incumbent Democrat. If Republicans here weren't so daft in 2022 McCormick would have handily beat Fetterman and my guess is would have won the second seat this past fall. Shoulda Woulda Coulda. To run Dr. Oz as a candidate for US Senator of Pennsylvania is a bigger joke than Fetterman wearing a hoodie and shorts to the inauguration.
