    With a truck that is geared right, and a good driver, there really is no need for those. I've had trucks that have gone years in city service with organic lining and never even need an adjustment. New driver and within a month I'm turning the ring in a couple of notches. Not sure how they are using up so much clutch lining with a truck that has the gearing to walk away at idle grossing 120,000 or more

    Actually, those USPS bums lose more of my mail than they deliver and I'm not exaggerating. I'd put all those screw ups in refurbished Jeep DJ5s with brush paint, and the cheapest mold cure recaps I could buy on all four corners

    I knew a lot of old timers with wreckers back in the day. They welded everything, and if something broke, they welded more reinforcements to it. No buying new steel either, always something they salvaged from the junkyard they had around back of their shop. I think it was because they lived through the Great Depression

    Why does an electric truck have a hood? Shouldn't it be a cab-forward design?

    Yeah, the throttle shaft controls the spring tension. The weights are fighting with the spring like a tug of war. The spring is fighting to increase the speed, the weights are fighting to decrease the speed. Putting your foot on the throttle makes the springs pull a little harder
  7. Joseph Cummings
    Moving the throttle shaft more increases the spring preload. The flyweights try to move outwards, and the spring tension pulls them back in. The centrifugal force pulls the weights out harder as the speed increases. The weights moving outward pulls the fuel rack back

    Older ones with the steel coupler also had a dowel so you couldn't put it together 180 degrees out

    The fuel adjustment is under this cover
  10. Joseph Cummings
    See the idle adj screw? High speed is under that cover. Almost looks the same, but it's shorter

    That is a Robert Bosch "P pump" I'm assuming you have a Ambac PLM pump? It's behind the little tin cover where the throttle shaft comes out
  12. Joseph Cummings
    Your throttle lever is probably on the other side, but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I think your pump shop is full of shit

    I'm guessing air controlled. Is the pump a Commercial Shearing C102D or a clone of it? I'm thinking it's a problem with your air control valve. You need to connect a gauge to the control and see if the pressure goes up and down smoothly

    Clearly Hollywood and the Globalists have filled your head with their lies. Listen to this beautiful angel sing. It will help undo the brainwashing that you have become a victim of.

    5 PTO speeds too
  17. Joseph Cummings
    Yeah, the 2 valve was much tougher. PLM pumps on the 4 valve kinda sucked too. APE pump was much better

    I wonder if you could get the kind of manifold pressure needed for like 600 HP from a Roots type blower. so you could make it sound like this and get a little flame out the stack
  19. Joseph Cummings
    You can't flow time that pump?
  20. Joseph Cummings
    Yeah, that is about the power level I was thinking. It looks like there is enough room and frontal area to get the cooling you'd need in there. It has to be as big as a 379 I would think What do you think about having windshields that open like the early L cab? Three hinge doors and a more modern door latch would strengthen up the cab
  21. Joseph Cummings
    I wonder if the dies still exist to stamp out an LTL Could you imagine if you could buy an LTL glider kit

    You have to admit. The new truck is much better looking than this old obsolete thing

    McCaffery's is a pretty upscale store, but that one is in a rich liberal area. Jim McCaffery is a pretty good solid republican guy. When his store burnt to the ground some years back, he kept paying his employees for months until the store was rebuilt, nobody got laid off or missed a paycheck
