    Back in the early 80’s there was a carrier out of San Antonio that had reefers modified to haul cattle. They would run cattle to Cali and then haul produce back to San Antonio. Made good bank both ways. Driver said it was a job to clean out.

    Possibly... But the fact that ive had a fire going at home continuously for 3 consecutive days... Leaves no doubt in my mind.

    I’m curious about the one you built yourself. Have you been able to load it up and be mean enough to it yet to see if it stalls the high pressure? I had to put the dash pot line back on my BXS when the injectors went in it. It was ok with just the file, but when we injectored it up it started stalling the high pressure.

    I've just been busy everytime I thought I had alittle time to check on ya'll seems somthing has come up & old Eleanor here has been testing my nerves..Plus I tried a new buyer that fell short of his promises and I've been trying to avg a set goal of loaded miles per week .. So I can end this love/hate relationship with this 379 I'am in and take some time off and put Ruby back together plus I going back to school to further my education .. so I'am trying to double up on my college fund
