Only the best on tap for the guys as they get to watch........... bean bag tossing on television!









can ya turn on some NHL hun for this yankee pls and thanks

 

I beg to differ...I have been married twice just to prove it!

 

Okay, you don't think thats from the differential getting too hot then?

I've never seen paint do that so fast.

 

See what happens to ya when you listen to too much head bangin music, you end up needing hearing aids, LOL. The wife says I need to get my hearing checked, I reply what? exactly...

 

my front gets close to 270 in the summer. Rear will get close to 220.


Freight liner says it’s normal.

On top of not seeing the tub in a month. Heck, I'm glad when they see me with no mask and scurry away, I don't have to smell 'em..

 

Funny thing is in every bit of service literature and training I've taken I've been told that once oil hits 250° F, damage is occuring. Apparently at that temperature the oil film has broken down and is inadequate in preventing metal on metal contact. Happens too long and you start to see metal transfer (smearing) as the metal at the small points of contact become hot enough to momentarily weld together.

 

I'd hit with a heavy wire wheel on a hand grinder, wearing a good pair of safety glasses and a N95 mask, *gasp* a mask, yes, I do wear one when I truly need to protect my lungs, went too many years and didn't, paying for it now. Then I'd base coat it with 2 coats of primer and two coats of Rustoleum high gloss black.

POR 15 is good, but expensive, and I'm a poor farmer. I've found that black asphalt fence post paint works really well as an undercoating and costs about $10 a gallon. I used that to undercoat our stock trailer, still no rust and no peeling, even after running it through our salt laden roads in the winter here. It's a witch to get it off you if get it on you or your clothes...

 

Freightliner won’t do any sort of replacement despite our #####ing


And I made a big event of it in Arlington one day. Nothing. I guess 270 degree diff temps and hot hot hot hot tires is the new normal. To hell with it.
