    Radio Rack MT-6492 Scrap??

    I second it's not scrap. A radio user will pay more than the scrap price.

    About the hose, the vendor told me the hose is goodyear some or other, high temp high pressure, made for oil and made for those special fittings. If any yellow rings are missing, it's because they came off, etc. Still, there is no question the end of the hose failed. I have the piece in the...

    I don't know what's the deal on the brakes on the 900. It's probably upgrades to readily available parts?? I have no idea. Note the 1/4" thick side plates bolted to the chassis rails on the rebuild unit. I don't know anything about Morocco. Maybe Morocco Mole and Secret Squirrel are planning a...

    Memphis equipment is really busy these days. Seems they got a huge contract for 5-tons to Morocco and are buying up all the big trucks they can get. I think Morocco is getting the multifuels, and there's another big deal for completely reprocessed 900 series . I was openly told this by several...

    Illinois has biodiesel everywhere. It sucks and the truck runs less MPG on it. It wasn't like that last time. I turned up the fuel a bit today. BTW, "magnetics".. haha I don't know what I was thinking.. Magnetics indeed.

    Word to the wise.

    amazing.. It always seems every "vehicle work" session must be done with a blood sacrifice. No matter what, no matter how small or large, the job just won't go until a token bit of blood is spilt. I'm glad you didn't get hurt bad. That looks painful. Is that a cut on the side of your nose? man...

    I guess it willhave to be moved. I'm seeing an issue where when the engine's warm, the preluber does not seem to make pressure. The cause does not seem to be the engine, but instead the luber.

    I'm afraid Rushmore will have to wait, I'll run out of vacation days before I could get there and back to Dallas. The truck is runing good but it's just too slow to make more than 300 miles a day which averages to about 7 hours of driving taking into account stops and the like. Being saturday...
