    My 15.00 will be coming on the 15th. Need to get paid first. I do not, or at least did not, ever use the classifieds because they were pretty much worthless before. Maybe now things will be better. I do believe the information gleaned from the site is worth the money. Where else can you get...

    Diesel

    I work for a community college in NJ. We get our gas and fuel from the county yard where they fuel up all of the county highway department trucks. Keep in mind that this is county not state. They use off road diesel in all of their trucks so that means we do also at the college. I guess it is...

    I know that to a lot of you guys 15.00 is nothing. I have had my pay cut three times in the last 6 years! I will pay if I have to but I would like to see better treatment for the new guys coming in. I have refereed hundreds of people here from the other forums I am on and a good two thirds of...

    How fast does a M1008 go?

    The M1009 has a 3:08 rear gear ratio. Can't even compare it to a M1008 with 4:56 gears.

    How to tell actual mileage

    DANG! I thought I was going to sneak in the brake pedal pad wear thing myself. Look for wear on the gas pedal and the side of the brake pad where your slides on and off of it. Because of the low rear end gears the motors on the pick-ups took more of a beating than the 1009's did. I think for...

    Diverman needs help getting m923 home

    OK, You got me on a technicality:-D. Yes they are wet bearings and if the truck has sat for many months then any lubricant will have drained off and what is left will not do a lot of good, especially on the differential (Rear end):roll: gears. I suggested the shafts because of the tranny being...

    Umm, That is what I said. Differentials = Rear ends.:wink: Rick

    Diverman needs help getting m923 home

    One thing to keep in mind about the towing or tow bar. IF it is drained there may not be any oil in the differentials and the driveshafts would have to be removed to keep the dry transmission from turning. Rick

    Boyce Equipment?

    Try the junkyards in the area you are in, like was said a 6.5 will work fine but make sure to get the complete engine with lines. Not only are the injectors shorter (your 6.2 injectors would work) but they are on a different angle. If you bend an injector line to fit you will get a knock that...

    She saved my life

    I did not say that to start an argument, maybe you were doing 35 and the weight you were carrying caused the damage. I am not there to say. If it was squatting you must have had at least 3 tons in it. I run a 1 1/2 yard spreader in one and it does not squat with a full load of salt, that is...

    She saved my life

    You might want to go to church and thank the lord for putting his hand between the back of your heads and that load of scrap!!!! SOMETHING stopped that stuff from coming in and it was not the window, that stuff is piled higher than the window and should have come right through. Think about it...

    Riding on troop seats in a deuce

    In New Jersey it is illegal for anyone, adult or child, to ride in an open back vehicle. Of coarse the military has it's own rules. I don't know many states where you can legally ride in a trailer, how many of you remember the cattle cars?:roll::roll::roll: Rick

    Interesting Recovery

    The snowballs get big and the trailers get real heavy! I don't even want to know what it weighed by the time I got out of the snow. Actually it got heavier first because it was raining very hard into all the snow on the trailer and it was 33 degrees so you know none of it was melting. The snow...
