A knew going in that if anyone was going to get butthurt over even the discussion that it would be some O/O who walked on water.... If you think that the norm for O/O even back in the day waited 20 years to go O/O... you're kidding yourselfgentleroger Thanks this.

I’ve never seen a wheel seal leak that bad in one mile to make it look that bad. And I’ve seen a few. Irregardless, in my initial post, I commented how dirty the sight glasses were. That doesn’t happen in a mile.alds and Dale thompson Thank this.
-
Not butthurt at all. Nor do I think I walk on water.....was simply a thread to show what happens to the noobs who may come across it. But thx for asking.

Dirty sight glass has absolutely nothing to do with it. Most are so burned out anyways.
Can't see through mine and I've pulled the same trailer 4 years now.
And it depends on how bad the leak. I've had em go a week. I've had em go 1 mile. -
Friend of mine has had a diesel shop for around 25 years. Caters to O/O’s and small mom and pop companies to keep his work steady but manageable. He tells me about how many new aged O/O’s will line up just because they can’t change a headlight bulb. Lol.Dale thompson and Chubby Fly Thank this.

Some companies do not like to be told the truth about the condition of their fleet that is for sure.Dale thompson and aaronpeterbilt3787 Thank this.

Well clearly you folks are all perfect and your junk never breaks.
Hasnt been my experience, and im a pretty good mechanic.gentleroger and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
Never once have I thought I was perfect. And my junk breaks just like everyone else’s. Difference is I tend to it immediately, as I’m sure you do too.
-
@FoolsErrand I don’t think we were saying our stuff never breaks sorry if it sounds like that.
What we were saying is we would not operate it broke and would not ignore it and pass it on to the next guy broke.Dale thompson and snowwy Thank this.
