    On old iron, that’s a good way to get your arm broken.

    Did you tell the realtor it's because you're a truck driver? You're used to it.

    Geesh guys.... It was 100 out today. Only got up to 83 here in the house. And the thermometer doesn't have the air blowing on it from the swamp cooler. Love that thing....

    Good that you know the difference.

    Just remember that when your power steering quits, it’s not the same as old school armstrong steering. It’s worse.

    Unfortunately I had to have that argument with an idiot dispatcher at work who claimed to once be a driver. :oops:

    Whether you had a 220 Cummins or a screamin' Jimmy, You had to shift both sticks at the same time or the RPM would fall off seriously lugging the engine. It would not pick up the next gear if you shift one then the other. GVW was 72,000 then. 1673 CATs weren't much better.
    When Cummins came out with the 335, wow what a difference!
