  1. so show of hands how many people here used to play in the field or woods a couple miles from home when you were kids? I did, I rode my bike all over the damn place, hell I would go to friends houses a couple miles away then we'd go a couple more miles to play around by the creek in the woods.

  2. don't understand why she had a chambered round in a 9mm semi auto, bad deal for all . she had the gun in a concealed carry compartment of her purse that the kid got open.

    You cant defend yourself with an unloaded gun, the tragedy is she was stupid and let her child know where it was and she didn't take steps to insure the child couldn't get it out.
  3. Ha, that exhaust mount is a noisy little sucker apparently, I have a friend with some new trucks that says the same thing. I'd try a silicone based thin clear grease like LPS Clear Penetrating Grease. He says he hits it with something about every day or two just to shut it up. That's the whole reason if I order I'm getting frame mounted exhaust,lol.

  4. Paul my return on the rw doesn't have a dip tube either. I've fixed this issue before and its been either supply check valves at the filter base, hole rubbed in a fuel line or cracked dip tube in the tank. Don't know without seeing the truck but there are plenty of good guesses on this thread for sure.

  5. Go with the 12 spd, awesome transmission its got nearly perfect gearing for anything you can find. The one stick or trtxl 1070B is just an air shift deep reduction where the two stick trtxl 1070 has a shifter for deep reduction which will only shift with the main stick in low so its easy to drive. The trtxl 107 is the direct top gear version and Mike is right the 1070's are .78 OD, the air shifter on the main stick has reverse/neutral/low and high use low then split to high in each gear like an Eaton super ten. The big bonus is being able to shift thru all 5 gears in reverse, when you have a long way to go like on paving jobs you can clip along at 20mph and 1400rpm in reverse.

  6. 10-4 bbig, a lot of folks are going to 22.5's round here too. The 11r22.5 on an Alcoa wheel vs a low pro 24.5 on an alcoa is the same height 42" and the 24.5 is actually 2.6# lighter by the books,lol. I always liked the 42" tall tire but the shorter sidewall on the 24.5 seems more stable to me, just personal preference really. On the subject of the Eaton 13 speed being a double od, well its not what you think. The term double od came from way back when some mechanics did gear flips to trucks to get the top two gears to be od, creating a .73 8th and .62 9th, the hi-lo split on the side of the shifter is actuality an underdrive or deep reduction back box. When your in hi on the splitter the gear ratios are the same as the 9 speed used to make up the 13, when you split it to lo your actually putting that gear thru a real reduction. Back box the get a half gear step. The Eaton low is 12.44 I think and the od is .73, the mack is also 12 something but .71 od so a little higher on top, the mack 313/318LR have 16.42 lo and .71 od.
