If the boost is "jacked", lower compression would make sense. But sounds like a misfit engine.

I am staying away for this one and still trying to forget the last one. Likely any flying machines will be shot down by the PaSP.

The Keystone show is history. There were over 80 vehicles on the grounds by Saturday afternoon. Sadly no additional vehicles showed on Sunday. The weather was sunny but HOT. We are thinking the hot temperatures kept people away. Here are a few pics from the show. I was busy parking vehicles on Saturday so only was able to get a few.

Is the "shoe" tree on route 50?

This is a show in Hagerstown on September 17th.

Scrapple...fried golden brown with apple butter....yum yum

I heard Sept 17th too but have yet to see any details.

Mike/Ed, That explains the hugging and handholding at the Nunnery.

Do you have any air tanks? PNs 22QE1299M or 22QE4908M

Bumping this to the top again....I am looking for a good used LH steel tank (22QE1269M or 22QE4907M). This is a single chamber tank. TIA

Taking the PA green stamp to the Reading exit (Route 222) and then north on 222 to Allentown is an extra 17 miles (~20 minutes) and $14 additional toll. May give it a try when I attend Trucktoberfest in September.

I-78 is a mess from east of Krumsville to Allentown. Perhaps it is time to find an alternate route.

Carl - glad you got stopped without any issues. Did you need to clean your shorts? I went thru that area earlier but traffic was just starting to back up. Looked like a van was rear ended by a pickup pulling a travel trailer.

I am the third from the right. I think hat is hiding between Jumper and Son and behind Leversole. Hat didn't wear his tinfoil hat.

On Saturday I picked up a new tank (22QE31178M) from Barry. Perfect match. Perhaps I will try my "luck" on the LH tank. UPDATE: posted the wrong part number for the RH tank....correct number is now listed.

I heard 705 vehicles were at the show. One of the best shows in recent years. Other than a "damp" start on Thursday, the weather was GREAT! Always nice to see friends, trucks, and the "walking stock" was not bad either. Met a few new BMT members. Mike - thanks for the transportation! BTW, goodbye Ron!

Someone should be at the registration area by 8am (for sure by 9am). Saturday morning will be busy.

Plan to arrive Thursday after lunch. Stopping by the hotel first to check-in then lunch at Pizza Slut. Rain in the forecast for Thursday but hopefully not a "gully washer". Like to find a "high spot" to park just in case. Safe travels everyone!

Al, Nice video and nice Superliner. Seen it at several shows but never knew "the rest of the story". Thanks for posting!

Tried to "band aid" the tank today. It was to the point of not holding any air. So I pulled the tank and found a corroded hole about 1/4" diameter between the aluminum step and tank. Several other places with bulges just waiting to leak. The date code on this tank is 1991 so it is likely the original tank. I found a replacement tank (date code 1999) in good condition and will install on Monday. Going to put a rubber insulator between the step and strap. Hopefully this will minimize any galvanic corrosion. I ordered a new replacement tank from Barry and if the ports match I will buy it as a spare (insurance). I am speculating the LH tank is next. If anyone finds a spare LH or RH tank in good condition, please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks for the offer. The Hampton Inn (Fogelsville?) is about 1 mile south of the Hawthorne. Do you plan to be at the show grounds Thursday afternoon?

I plan to park my MH/trailer at the show on Thursday afternoon and "bum" rides. Are you thinking of Trucktoberfest? I remember several years ago, a group met at the Hotel for dinner Friday evening. If Vlad was present, then it was likely Saturday evening after the ATCA show. Vlad and his son were at the NIT emporium on Thursday evening with the rest of us distinguished people.

I plan to be at the show on Thursday. Count me in for NIT. I will need a ride (Hawthorne Suites - Fogelsville). Also will likely need transportation each day between the show and hotel. Anyone else staying at Hawthorn Suites?

How did I miss seeing/hearing you at the Martinsburg Show? It is only about a two (2) hour drive to Martinsburg so you could wait and head out Friday morning.
