Popular Post other dog Posted March 19 Popular Post Share Posted March 19 I took a load of treated lumber up to a Carter Lumber store in Uhrichsville, Oh. One time. While I was waiting to unload a guy came in in a fairly new Dodge pickup. He was loading some long boards in it and he ran one end through the sliding back glass and actually rested the ends of the boards on the dashboard of the truck. He had them right up against the windshield, sloping back to follow the slope in the windshield. The tail gate was shut and the other ends of the boards were sitting on top of it. Then he took one rubber bungee and put it across the top of them and hooked it in the bed. I looked and said "I hope you don't have to hit the brakes anywhere". And he said "I'm only going a few miles". And I said "I hope you don't have to hit the brakes anywhere". 2 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

66dc75 Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Npr w4500 HD 5.7 gas and 700r4 Won't win any races but it gets us there cheap.

66dc75 Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago Npr tranny bell housing broke ( they are notorious for this). Started adding up everything it needs. New tranny case, intake gasket leaking coolant, front springs needed, rear brakes coming up, getting rust jacking at crossmembers. I think it's time for a remount on newer chassis. I think I'm going for a uhaul E450 cab and chassis. They sell them really cheap and since I'm really cheap it looks like a good match.

66dc75 Posted 51 minutes ago Author Share Posted 51 minutes ago I've been running this one for a dozen years. 4le80 transmissions had porous cases. I've got a spare one but I would need to have my transmission guy swap the innards into it which is basically same labor as rebuild.
