    You just needed to wait longer. Did you eat your lunch and smoke a cig after:D

    The only 3rd truck we're gonna have is either a R700 or super dog. I think the west coast R stretched out to 240 would be sweet. Set of air ride cut offs and a modern 13 or 18. Turn the E6 up til she blows (If it blows Lol) then drop a E7 in it

    Honestly, I have no idea how I didn't lay waste to that trans. I drove that truck off/on for awhile. Never could get it right. That was a grind it, till you find it kinda thing for me. Then put your foot in it for 20min and try it again. Ugh

    Yeah they would have made a killing selling gliders from '09 - '13. I could never figure why they didn't ditch the maxforce with all the problems it had. Guess that's why I don't make that big CEO $.

    Pop with boots on. It's just terrible what has become of that scene.

    Driving through Oklahoma yesterday, my route took me in 60, to 412 to 64, seemed like there was a "dispensery" in every little town. I kept wondering what ole Merle would have to say about that.

    Good luck 6. Gotta ask what's a tacti-cool? Got a red dot and a 3x scope that flips off to the side. Vortex is the brand

    As a liberal, I bet he wouldn't have a problem with it.

    For what, I don't think they had a Plan B In-house engine. They backed themselves into a corner with the Enhanced EGR sales pitch that excluded DEF. Think back to that time frame, people were scared ****less of what was coming. They built and sold a bunch to the mega's and then realized they had a product that was unfixable if they were to meet emission standards. Cummins saved their hide by allowing them to use their aftertreatment system and they revamped the MF13 into the A26 urine drinker.

    All the more reason to sell a product (glider) that would have been a seller along with most of the other OEMs. IH was still making 9900s at the time anyway.

    Came out of a screaming jimmy with a 10, to a U model 300 with the 5. Yeah, it took a little bit to get used to. Between gears, you'd grab your coffee cup, take a drink, set it back down, then slide it in. Man, would that U pull. I wish I could find a descent one. It would be perfect for what I'm doing now...

    Not idea on IH stance. They used to sell piles of gliders in years past.

    Volvo reason was Quote We are Volvo and we think higher of the climate than to do that. Volvo executive.

    I might not be 100% word for word.
