    So I took our T-600 today to grab the last load of bowling equipment. On the way down and back I heard a whooshing sound every time I accelerated. Drove me nuts.

    Get home and grab the dawn dish soap and found bad cac boots. 3 had holes in them and one needed the clamp tightened. I don't usually drive this truck often but glad I caught this. I had 3 new ones in the shop so I installed them. It should run better now. IMG_6209.JPG IMG_6210.JPG

    I've never lost a clamp but carry an extra one in the truck. I think @Superhauler doubles his clamps up but he's pushing a lot of ponys.

    We have 2 T-600's and the dump truck is a T-800. All trucks have yellow engines.
