HDT article about Jim... www.truckinginfo.com/news/story/2015/04/jim-winsor-longtime-trucking-journalist-passes-away.aspx P.S. You will need to copy/paste the link to see the article. IE11 does not make this a hotlink.

Just learned Jim Winsor passed away today. We lost a true friend of the trucking industry. Thanks Jim for all you did. I must say I am proud to have known Jim and interacted with him at TMC (Technology and Maintenance Council). My condolences to Jim's wife and family. May he rest in peace. From a friend: In his last days Jim was very alert and still sharp with his memory, especially about TMC and all his friends. He always asked about the current events and still remembered most of the events of the past. Thanks Randy for the write-up on the Maxidyne engine.

Many of us have Donelap's disease. -
If I only had an extra $11K laying around.

Hopefully I can get a "nice" copy (of the magazine) at Watt's. -
Good suggestion Carl. Also, after you leave it soak, try "tapping" the top of the piston with a 2x4 and then soak again. This may create a "crack" to allow oil to seep along the rings. Repeat as necessary. Update: after reading PZ1's post below - perhaps you can rig a press to put pressure on the piston then soak it like Carl's states. Combination of soaking and pressure may break it loose.

I was thinking that Werner truck must be the only truck in their fleet that did not have an accident. Or is a new one that was put there BEFORE it had an accident?

Wifey said mine came in the mail the other day but it "looked like it went thru the shredder." -
Not sure if this will work but Barry (Watt's Mack) listed a camelback for sale.

Old and New

Actually it is any shade of black or white and most have black/charcoal interiors. -
RIP. You know you are getting old when all your "childhood" favorites have passed or are passing away.

Nice pics. Thanks for posting. Only been to DC once and that was for a business conference. I got in and out ASAP. As for flying, my saying was "a bad day traveling is better than a good day in the office". Glad you made it home safely.

Thanks Jim....I also sent a note to Captain Barry. Yardo - the only thing it is good for now is to pee. You had your days in the sack, hot tub, or wherever (and we don't want to know). Don't you remember...XS, S, M, and L.

I agree. I sent a note to Barry.

Interesting grill (Farmall H or M) and exhaust headers.

New exhaust on the B...

Nice....ting ting ting -
Don is a very knowledgeable person and all around nice guy. He is my "go to" person at the museum. I wish him well if he has decided to retire. But the "selfish" side of me hopes he will be around for many years.

Happy Birthday...late

Thanks Ron and Happy Easter to all.

Nothing wrong with a 3208 in my book.

performance muffler? 6 inch tip too big?
farmer52 replied to dds92780's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Personally I like a 5" straight with flapper (ting ting ting) but a curved stack is the best. Are you pulling a van trailer or flat bed. If van, you will need a stack tall enough to exit near the top of the trailer roof. If flat bed, short curved stack just above the roof line. But it is your truck so do what YOU like. -
Randy, Perhaps Jim could write/type a story, last I heard he was not in the best of health (correct me if I am wrong). I knew Jim from TMC (Technology and Maintenance Council).

All cabovers have a latch that secures the cab so it does not tilt while driving. Did you release the latch? Not sure where it is on a Midliner. My MH has releases that are hydraulically unlatched. Sorry I can't be more specific.
