Yermo will be the same very soon.

Think he's talking about the throttle control on the dash....?

Well that's a nice clean trailer, good purchase!

White smoke is a lean condition, fuel starvation or air bubbles (sucking air) in the line. If the fuel filters were changed and oil change done by who knows who, and the oil pan plug was left loose, then other things in the fuel system may be as well. Verify everything before you decide the...

Had a similar issue, found the back side of the air compressor base gasket was leaking next to the filter cans. Made it appear as if the cans were the problem but it only showed when I would do highway driving.

Welcome Ken, used to live in Simpsonville years ago and love that Grey Court, Fountain Inn, Laurens part of South Carolina.

As information, classes are 8 to 10 weeks based on territory (additional time for electrification) unless things have changed of recent. They used to do a re-entry class for currently qualified engineers new to Amtrak that only lasted two weeks, but that has been gone for some time now. A 90%...

Paint it camo so nobody can see it

That seal retainer also works as a thrust collar, the opposite being the back of the hub which keeps the axle from lateral movement. Inside the hub is a bushing that looks like a kingpin bushing that keeps it from flopping around during rotation. I don't like the looks of the spot on the axle...

Yes I have seen expansion joints. The first that comes to mind is on the Pecos River Bridge here in Texas west of Del Rio it has a slip joint in the middle to contol the expansion and contraction during the great temp changes that can happen in west Texas. It is similar to half a frog on each...

That little GE is neat, I ran a 44 ton center cab years ago. I was the only one that knew how to operate the #6 brake stand on the thing, fun little loco...made me want one for my own.. :shock:

Ok Ferro...where are all those Woodings Motorcars at?

Nice looking truck, let the "search" function be you friend for all the questions that will follow ;)

I don't have one like that on mine, don't recall seeing on some others either, part of a fording kit? Disregard what I just said, ran out to the truck and there it is as DieselBob said...line to the restriction indicator mounted on the dash. Sorry, I'm obviously short a cylinder tonight.

I worked out of Elizabeth City to Norfolk a bit back in the early 90's, don't let the Kudzu get near the truck...you'll never find her again! Congrats ;)

A bunch of 931's were pulled and re-listed as NO EUC required a couple weeks ago, seems the way they are going on those to clear out the stock. Buddy of mine got one last week and GL has been calling him wanting to set up the time to get it gone.

Show-off!:doghead: Wish they were mine, looks nice! :grd:
