Had to load at a rodeo arena the other night, chute was so close to the fence that the single axle with a 40’ couldn’t even hit it straight. Had to make two trips to load me. Sorry guys but I’m a Pete driver with the window chops... but that means no air in the seat on the floor! Also I do like purple

Also ended up buying a fully aluminum 48’. 98 model. I’m no rich man so having to slowly build up

So, driving in a truck in a metropolitan area is a new thing for me. Picked up two Westerns from Rogers in Nashville.

Your are seriously blaming an engine for problems that the owner wouldn’t fix?

It sure wasn’t the engines fault.

I would consider that an out of service repair.

Never fails if my ac dies my phone rings off the hook and I’ve got to drive with the windows up.

Loading at a hot steel mill wearing long sleeves, Kevlar, hard hat with fogging up safety glasses then having to get in a truck with no AC is too much for me anymore.

When my turbo blew a couple months ago in southern Oklahoma I pulled the cac out so I could clean the oil out of it to limp home. I disconnected the lines to the ac condenser to get it out. Figured oh well I'm only a day from home I just cruise with the windows down 98° out I'll survive. Was fine until I came into Oklahoma City and had to sit in stop go construction traffic for two hours. First 15 minutes weren't too bad since there was a nice little cross breeze. But then I came up on two bee haulers. I would have liked to have known how hot it was in my truck by the time traffic got moving fast enough again that I could put the windows down. Hour and forty five minutes in a black truck baking in the sun with the windows up I don't know how much more I could have took.

I don’t remove the CAC, I take one of the air filters than needs to be replaced after a turbo explodes and stick the pipe on the outlet side in it and rev it. Makes a nice oil catch can.

Sell a lot of new turbos to guys that forget to change air filters after one explodes. A new 80mm borg lasted 150mi 2 weeks ago after a shop just bolted it on. Couldn’t convince this parts changer that the wheel fragments get blown back into the intake pipes and wanted the turbo warrantied.

Do what? I don’t even know where that came from. I know full well, why that red truck wasn’t right... didn’t even know we were talking about that truck.

The post you quoted was me answering someone’s post about my fuel pressure being low in the pic I took.

I think he was referring to the fact the good running B only pulls slightly better than the phuked E.

That truck any better on fuel? Looks like someone forgot to spread your trailer axles, makes you look Canadian EH!!

I am trying to find fenders for my heavy haul. I like the look of the triple single fenders. Anybody make mounts to fit the 20k steerable lift axle running 385/22.5? Think it would hurt the nuckle to weld some mounts on so it would turn with the tires and always look nice if axle is up or down?
