Kill joy

 

Mr. kill joy, get it right.

 

I'm thinking someone ought to get X1's version how how this is done. Because if it was ever done.......

 

Every time I change synthetic fluid out of a motor, transmission, I quickly remember that I need a deep drain pan. That crap comes out like water and gets everywhere on a normal drain pan. Oh well, Oil Dri or cat litter is pretty cheap.

 

Takes a minimum of 10 and have a dog around — then you can be smart

 

nap for a bit and check again later

 

Ok so, I. Not old enough to have needed to do it. But not joking coming from a family of degenerate steel haulers is how I know about this. Pre air ride days or before they could afford it. You would keep your tandems greased and fifth wheel greased. You slide your tandem up, keeps the weight off the tractor right. You slide your fifth wheel back. Keeps weight of the tractor. Plus you use a bottle jack to jack up the nose of the trailer. Mind you it's on a center pivot suspension on trailer right. When you spiked the brakes the trailer tandem went backwards and the fifth wheel went forwards. Knocking the jack out. In turn transfering all the weight you can to the tractor. But the tractor is over the scales and the trailer has the least amount of weight on it. And the tractor did when it rolled over the scales. Note the rope. Always tie the jack to the truck. Then air ride came along. Wanna hear about a spring air cheater spread. In Ohio a air, spring, air 3×9"s, 3 axles 9 foot apart that were front air ride, middle spring, rear air ride. Ohio didnt have the high weight limits like Michigan. The state up north you needed 8 axles. But they were so heavy to come down here it did not make alot of sense. So your Ohio, and PA guys with no permits and lighter trucks were your outlaw steel haulers back then. The mills did not care. You could double out of 2, 3 places. If it it fit, it shipped. Controllable from the cab was legally labeled as a way to defy weights and measurement laws later. Know as a turnpike cheater. You made a fulcrum out of the trailer. Point her in the way you needed the weight transfer. Even then the only 2 I knew would build a factory one was Trailco, and City. Couple names long passed. People dont responded when when you ask about building one. Different times back then.

 

Well said right there!

 

Annnnnnnnnnd this is why you were missed.

Dash nav in the few wide cab KWs I’ve driven is a useless pile of garbage.

Just gimme o/o spec all gauges and I’ll buy the dang Garmin myself.
