    Stock market ain't for me I've been self employed most of my life whatever I had two homes one full time on a vacation home on the water which I wanted to hold onto and sell when I was close to retirement but a bad divorce ended hope of that at 47 I was starting from scratch again I was able to keep my boat and my Harley so I guess all wasn't lost

    She got most of it the rest went to bills when all was said an done I got 100K in pocket, the live in was the house I grew up in but I had two daughters that we're young and I wanted them to stay in there home,otherwise she never would have ended up with that house, needless to say I remarried in 04 to a women I was in love with when we we're in our teens actually she was my first girlfriend , and I knew her family for ever , her dad and her brother who was my age god rest his soul there the ones that got me hooked on trucking

    On a Mack Vision there's a valve on the firewall with air lines going to the fan clutch. My last fan clutch issue turned out to be that. Do you have something similar?

    I think there is and I have changed that once before. I've put 400K since I bought truck and ever changed fan clutch but I do know original Al owner did during first 360K miles

    And got some new shoes. Mainly wanted to try out the new Micheline X Line Z. Supposed to be an upgraded XZA3+ or the equivalent. Just got them a week ago so,..nothing special to report. I did manage to get 247,882 mi on the XZA3+ Still had more read left,.. but they started to develop a shake and I cant stand a shake on my steers.

    .

    For the drives I went with General HD660. I felt the tall blocky tread would help when running the snow belt. Mainly because they didnt have any Hankook DL07's in stock and I did not have time to wait for them to be delivered the next day.

    Because they are old machines with broken rubber latches that are supposed to hold the engine covers down. The wind will kick open the hoods.
