Seriously ...... I am not even doing OTR and I am beat at the end of the day...... and my tractor (even though its a Michigan special) rides like a Cadillac due to the 275" wheel base. I have to sleep in my 5th wheel I keep parked in Grand rapids because by the time I get the last load off I...

beings how you just took the test (congrat btw) maybe you can answer this question. I have noticed that airbrakes endorsement is no longer on the license but I am wondering if it is still a separate test or now part of the general knowledge test..........

I agree with this 100%......... except I can think of a few worse things for Mr. Lahood. going to go get my new physical done next week when I have a few days off so its done for another 2 years ...... I will be done driving a big rig by the time the new one expires........ OTR is for you...

that must be a state thing, I was told I only had too if I was seeking a passenger or a hazmat..... I took mine in 1997 in Arkansas..... the 1 thing I lost points for (I argued it and got the the points back) is when I turn on to a street I don't know I assume the speed limit is 25mph...

nothing different for a school zone, however, I maintain the school zone speed limit during daylight hours. no standard height for bridges but there are supposed to be standard height for power lines, but don't count on it. Know your height. you only need to stop at RR crossings if you are...

well, new truck is not going to happen. Somebody called me wanting me to put Stupid to work hauling gravel from Bristol IN to Grand Rapids 5 days a week for the next 6 months...... good, I have only hauled 3 loads since Dec 17 last year.

I plan on EGR delete, but I will keep the stuff handy in a box so I put it back on for inspection day. I was told I can leave the EGR valve plugged in to the harness and just zip tie it out of the way so I won't need a tuner. it may not go through, they just happen to have a guy that wants a...

well if I ever find my camera (and the deal goes through) I will be posting pics of my new (used) 2005 F350 XLT Crewcab fatback 4x4 with a 6.0L and a 6spd. Low miles (48,XXX). has a 24K 5th wheel hitch and a flip over goosekneck ball) It is at my local intl/freightliner dealer (I saw it today...

let me know how you like em when the truck is running. I am still trying to find out about that Suburban for you.

I'm not, I am changing gears from a daily driver to a project however. Just means now for a daily driver I am going to have to step up to a powerstroke or a duramax which means somebody needs to buy my tractor trailer.

well the deal fell through. We agreed on $3500, I sent a $500 deposit via western union. the called me while I booking the flight to Dallas to get it said they were sending my deposit back. They sold it for more money. This is the second time this has happened to me in as many years. I hate...

well my deal for a Ford fell through. everything else I have seen is out of my price range that I am willing to pay for a 16 y/o pick up.

best advice ....... don't do it.

yes, yes I have. but I decided on a running truck from the 10 western. be it Ford or Chevy. I have had 2 chevys in a row now so I am kinda leaning towards the Ford. When it comes to a full size truck I don't really care if its Ford or Chevy...... just I will never own anything chrysler ever again.

I had to scrap my truck. while i was cleaning the frame and getting ready to replace the engine (I was ready to pop the $1200 for a new block) I found a rust hole and a crack in the frame. it was at that point i decided I was going to buy something from outside the rustbelt. I started out...

problem with that is.... I don't have anywhere to park it while I strip it. other problems are .... nobody is buying parts. People are buying diesel fuel system parts but other used parts are not selling ........ I would end up paying $2500 for the truck, flying out to Oregon to drive it back...

yeah,, but how long was the DB2 in use with 6.2? How long did the Military continue to use it after the DS4 came out? How long did Ford use the DB2 before they replaced the IDI with the powerchoke? in most cases simple is best ('cept fuel injection vs carb which is irrelevant to a discussion on...

yeah, the more I talk to them the shadier it sounds....... you just don't find crew cab duallies in decent condition for $4000..... be it Ford or Chevy. I should call my cousin that lives in Clebourne to go look at it for me. now in the case of the 92 with the 460. They don't know what they got...

yeah, thats what I see around here too. I do see alot with transmission problems though.

I am prolly not the only one to spy the GV controller next to the trailer brake controller in the pic. The 460 is from an estate sale. I called on the 7.3. They don't know anything about its history other than its obviously been loved on, no rips in the interior, no stains, clean engine...
