    truck towing pictures...

    Is the two extra bolts? Ours has a round 30k coupler with a pin and two jambs. I just figured the bucking was from spring ride. Have the same thing with some semi trailers but with the long wheelbase air ride truck, air ride cab and air ride seat you don't notice it.

    Thought about air ride on our gooseneck flatbed, sick of being jiggled to death pulling it empty. I think I'll just get a nicer drop deck for the semi's though and use that more often.

    Whatcha Got?

    That's what I thought, so old Larry Jewell posted only a page or two back lol. But hey I'll play along again. MAKE : Fendt Model : 930 Vario 4X4 OR 4X2 : RWD with selectable front wheel assist (off/on/auto). Front and Rear axle lockers with auto mode. ENGINE...

    02 head gaskets and injectors low power

    Being that the injectors came from "a shop" I would be suspect of those, unless that shop was just a dealer for the GM or Bosch remans. Hard starting and low power along with poor fuel economy are good signs of a bad one. Ramp the fuel pressure to 160MPa at idle to see if it can hit it. If...

    Yellow antifreeze

    If it's yellow and compatible with everything, it sounds like a HOAT coolant just like GO5. Even though color means nothing, many of them are yellow.

    truck towing pictures...

    I forgot to take a picture, maybe I'll remember when I take it back. We're renting a Cat TH407 telehandler, hauled it 170 miles yesterday. The truck definitely knew it was there. Telehandler alone with attachments weighed nearly 20k. Got a new gooseneck flatbed also. A 32' low pro PJ with...

    Yellow antifreeze

    I don't understand it all either. Just enough to be dangerous lol. Some of its important, other stuff doesn't matter, the rest gets tangled up in marketing. I haven't found a Cummins without one yet either, lots of Cats and euro motors without them though.

    Yellow antifreeze

    I find that hard to believe, Cat doesn't use anything but Cat labeled fluids in their shops. Regardless of who supplies it to them, it would not carry the Dexcool brand name. Could be wrong though.

    Yellow antifreeze

    To keep life simple, just stick with Dexcool. The Dexcool issues/nightmares/lawsuits were related to incompatible gasket designs on some of GM's engines. 2-EHA is a common additive in OAT's from any brand, it is often blamed for deteriorating some gaskets. Overall its not that bad of a...

    Yellow antifreeze

    None of them should have traditional additives if you are running OAT coolants. They sell ones for ELCs that have no additives and have a thicker housing sometimes to hold up for the longer service interval.

    dimitri blowing more stuff up

    Apparently. Good example of why explosion sheilds are required. He'll have to spend a lot of money if he gets into pulling. Pulling tracks are dirty too. Many pullers don't get online and talk, they just do it in person :D No to defend D, but it kind of does. Top fuel cars can't make it...

    Greg Hogue's 200mph 6 second rail in action...LMFAO

    x2 I thought they did all of this "private" testing so that when they got to public stuff like this, it would run like a raped ape?

    Ice water challenge

    Why do you care if someone is dumb enough to hurt themselves doing it? Natural selection can't work fast enough. Regardless of what the party poopers think, its better than the neknominations, or lighting yourself on fire, or basically anything else on facebook. Most don't donate, but the...

    Yellow antifreeze

    While it does not pertain to our trucks, wet sleeve diesels do need a coolant designed to be run in that environment to avoid pitting. In simple terms, bubbles are formed and once on the surface of the liner will "pop" and over time cause a hole to form. In older coolants, the addition of SCA's...

    Flush mount reverse light

    They are pretty bright. I don't use "real" duallies, but similar ones for various things. Wish there were more flush mount options, they are useful in many situations. Used them for side lights on our new SSL and will be putting two up front for light when boom is up as well. Going to put...

    what engine oil should i use?

    You can buy break in oils, or zinc additives. From what I know it was really only a huge deal on flat tappet cams. Zinc is still a good additive, but the newer oils use newer additives that work well also, they didn't just get rid of them.

    LB7: lots of smoke and burning oil

    That's why I added the part about the mess. I don't see anything "blowing" just the oil mess becoming unbearable at some point.

    LB7: lots of smoke and burning oil

    As long as your fine running it until it blows or the mess is unbearable, then thats what I would do lol.
