LED,s do not generate heat. driving in snow/ice, it can/will build up and become less effective

if its for emergency use, I would throw the extra coin and get it

If he can get to Bethel, Belardinelli(sp) was always a good honest tire shop

Look at the caliber of inexperienced drivers trucking companies are hiring. Not learning how to shift is a huge obstacle to circumvent with an auto trans. Not saying that good drivers don’t use them but I’d bet 85% of the people using them ie swift, hunt, merganthaler etc are are putting first day drivers behind the wheel of them. 

 

I understand there is a place and use for autos even if it’s preference based. I drove an auto in the yard dog spotting trailers and hooking sets. Would have been a long day if it was a manual. But I feel very strongly that I’m right about big trucking companies are outfitting their trucks with autos to get more inexperienced drivers in seats. Being able to shift no matter where you’re at is a skill and many don’t have it. I think their driving skills or lack there of in a semi shows too. 

being stopped on a hill would result in a lot of pretzel driveshafts

Well NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt covered this accident tonight and the big story was seat belts. While this was the focus of the story, and they acknowledged NJ has them, they did mention in a "by the way" fashion that the bus driver had something like 8 speeding conviction.  

Absolutely NO MENTION of the unbelievable CAUSE of this accident. So much for meaningful reporting.

I don't know if the school bu was operated by the school district or a private bus contractor but heads should roll in whatever management oversaw this operation.

heard that his license had been suspended 14, YES 14 times, besides the speeding

what will the costs be to just get the truck ready for the road (tags, insurance,...)

think of all the expense of putting another driver on (wage, taxes, WC,...)

then think of anticipated revenues from additional truck on the road

my opinion: switch them out day to day. find out what is wrong with new purchase, fix it, then you can shut the main truck down for needed items

my condolences to you and family

No Bourbon and beefsteak must have been after my times I was there Christmas 1969 and Oct 1970.  But I suddenly remembered a couple of teen age fight bars ,The Dialtone  Steak house (where you used a phone to call in your order I don't think they sold a steak after the first week)The two boweling allies  were also teenage fight clubs.and because it was a college town there were floating dance /booze parties  that would set up where ever  they could rent a space .At one time Danbury Ct had more bars than any other city it's size in Ct

known as the Barbary coast

no $$$$$ noted

but deduct $400 for new seat

DAMN!!! no wonder you were sweatin so bad. Look at the size of those trees you were plantin

hope there is still some snow on the Grand Tetons next week

• although I will agree with Mack tech, I would go every 10,000 miles for oil, fuel. yearly on trans. also check air filter

• a very tall fence?

Thank you. The system is not mine. belongs to the bossman. I will mention a filter system 

Dump truck has a polished aluminum body. spent quite a while to get it looking better.

BUT!!! water I use is hard. There is a salt system softener on it.

Problem is that the salt deposits leave a mess if not wiped down quickly.

Any product I can use to get rid of them....besides more Mothers?

thanks, Ed

you're a good person for this

despite what "Mama" might say

PUll the faceplates off from the heater assemblies. You will see both heater core, and a/c evaporator in there. It's usually best and easiest to do a good job if you remove the heater core from the housing to give free access to the area. I take a garden hose and shop vac and wash them clean from inside the truck. Use a bunch of towels but be sure to tell your wife or girlfriend first as they get a little "pissy" seeing all those wet and dirty towels in the wash covered in dirt.

sounds like experience

wonder if they know what a treasure they have there.

running V8? that's worth twice what he is asking

Happy Birthday Doug!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!

What a relief!

I thought this was going to another video

we would make our own "chopper style"

cut the front forks off a junker, slide it over the front forks of the good bike

Had good news from Dr.  So I wasn't worried about it

get a heat gun and compare guage readings to gun readings.    terry

I would go with this idea. HOT fluid will jump out at you and give you second degree burns on the leg....ask me how I know
