Lol, struggles a bit more in the hills?

Woman fell asleep they think and hit a friend of mine today. She doesn’t remember a thing about it. Grossing 117k she was lucky it wasn’t a head on.

No sir, I’m headed to FL for a cruise. Probably that damn Canadian with the same truck/trailer with opposite colors.

I never get a good look at it. I was heading onto 471 and caught it out of corner of eye

4.63 gears and Low in a NV4500 isn't short enough to start out on some of those hills.. wide gear ratios don't help either.. 38k gross. It wasn't horrible, wasn't a pleasure cruise either lol

ABS question.
2001 Freightliner Classic that was a single axle and is currently being converted to a tandem axle.
On the rear ABS, is it as simple as getting the same brand ABS controller as is currently on there, but 4 channel instead of 2 channel, and hooking the 4 wheel sensors up, or??

Leave it alone, 2 on the rear is common.

Awesome. Thank you!

malibu795 · 07-16-2019, 11:53 AM

On the ABS note.... The 99 FL60 I picked up is air brake and has ABS... From what I've gathered it needs constant and switched power, brake light and VSS signals to work?

I see you went camping this holiday.

Spotted this rig today at OH129 and Cincinnati Dayton Road. Looks like he added a tarp to keep the rock chips off the camper.

I'm digging the missing duallie fender... STANCED... kinda curious if the other side matches? Some body needs to spray paint "meth lab" on the side of the camper

Can we circle back around to the engine stands we were discussing a few pages ago? Specifically how the plates bolt to an e model/c15 block. 800 bucks to shell out on OTC's Cat specific plate is ridiculous...

That's definitely a deal. Ive built a stand, but that plate for the cat is my next issue.
