Where is everyone #5

Nearly every fin on it is gone, the cores were vibrating as the engine idled, knew it was a matter of time before I was setting out on the road….

 

Wow, short life! Was the core grounded?

 

@jamespmack
Your Cuban Mike prophecy is coming true.. That's just 8 or so I forgot to block/delete.

 

It had a jumper wire but not sure if it was making good contact….

 

I usually get these a ss wipes…..

 

I've never seen a radiator that wasn't aged well past it's expected life look like that before. Either some major manufacturing issue or you had some type of electrolysis eating at them. Amazing there wasn't any tubes leaking if the latter was the case.

I replaced mine in 20? and made sure to drill and rivet the ground, then the local truck wash was nice enough to hit it good with the oscillating pressure washer. As I sat for an hour combing my fins straight again I vowed to never let another truck wash lift my hood lol.

 

I'm so sick of all these darn people.!
Wonder what they might accomplish if they put effort into a real job instead being con artists.?

 

Got pulled for a fmcsa audit.. It just never ends... been more busy at the house then i ever am on the road.. ready to get back in the cab... The road has been calling for awhile

 

I was actually going to suggest if he buys it, I'll drive it.

 

Guys ... I got a question ... I have 2 pipe 42" Diameter 58' and 48' long ... Total weight is 35,100 lb ... Which is a better option to ship it? ... Will travel thru MS, LA and TX.

1: Pole trailer where the 58' ends up with a 9-10' overhang off the rear dolly?
OR
2: 53' Flatbed where the 58' ends up with a 4-5' overhang since U can load a bit ahead of the front end of the flatbed?

Would either options require a red flag at the end of the 58' pipe and/or OS permit?

Thanks in advance ... Will find out how they shipped it yesterday and update.
