Great looking truck, Taylorm2121. You're in NC as well?

 

Thanks Denise, yes I live about an hour west of Charlotte N.C.

 

Took her out today to get 4 ton of coal 29 this morning winter on the way

 

What's "winter?"......Ben

 

That when it get real cold and blustery and I’m sitting in the house eating some deer tenderloin .I love it especially if I really don’t have to get out in it and drive anymore

 

Yea I forgot having nice fire in the soapstone to

 

Good looking truck! Kind of familiar looking though ;-) Hoping to pick it up from the shop today. Head gasket blew after all the head/cam repair work recently. Cummins gasket, just a faulty one. At least the shop is covering it under warranty. :-D

 

OK, now I remember...That was in West Germany a few decades ago, but I wasn't inside eating venison...I recall being outside cranking wrenches on a McDonnell-Douglas F-4 trying to get a few of them in the air so the Rooskies wouldn't think we were all asleep......Ben

 

LOL that could have been for my Dad that was flying the F-4 ;-) Small world.

 

Ben after reading your post It’s obvious u know what winter is .Thank You for your service

[/QUOTE Nice looking truck too.Were was u when I was trying to decide on black , Didn’t find a lot of pics of black trucks

 

Ask your Dad if he found a pack of Lucky Strikes...I think I left then on top of the left engine splitter vane...You're welcome indeed, sir......Ben

 

Thanks to Ollie on tips to replace my headlight SW. While I was in there, I Jim Lane-d my instrument cluster. Granted, I did not perform all his upgrades, I'm waiting on led bulbs. All for not having headlights... Go figure

 

Also,

I ripped apart my front brakes. What originally was,just to be a set of,rotors, pads, calipers and hoses has morphed into steel lines, wheel seals and repacking bearings. I wasn't going to repack the bearings, as I did it less than 20k ago, but the inner seals failure changed that.

Tomorrow continued

 

I have to redo my front bearings every year since I can't seem to find a seal that will last longer then that...granted my spindles are worn a bit so the hub rides a tad off set so I think that is what is actually killing them. But it does mean I have fresh grease in the hubs every year though...
