Instant O/O and Load boards

Crap... well it was the fuel pump... so so much for the extras I was wantin' done.

 

Well since we have so much extra time:

Brake fade: Unfortunately I was freaking out for 15 minutes before thinking about taking any footage, so you can't see the full effect...




This here was my first time going up the gorge on I-40




This was a cool fish farm I delivered to Friday night... raising Tilapia. They claim to be the largest indoor fish farm

 

I always say "it smells expensive" like all the other smells my truck makes!

 

It was 9% and I was at 80k (my standard load). I use the jake all the time but coming down I noticed that it doesn't really want to come on in 7th or less gear. 8th and up it comes on loud just by tapping the brake. I don't know what's up with that.

I think we figured out that I wasn't applying enough pressure to the brakes while slowing down which increased the time I was riding them to slow down the same amount. Hard to say though, in my memory I had them frantically pressed without great results.

Also, this thread hasn't really been about load boards in a long time and I don't use them.

 

Well I guess I kinda screw myself, because some things are like that and some aren't...so I guess you can never really tell.

I was pretty certain in a car you had to have the engine running otherwise all the oil was in the pan. I figured with it running, worst case I would at least get a false low if anything... so when it was all in the pan it would be even higher.

That voice quiver in the brake fade video is no joke though... lol I'm lauging now listening to it... I musta been really crapping my pants. I heard all these stories and now low and behold it was happening to me... and I don't like heights at all... much less plummetting over them.
