Where is everyone #5

Ever been to the boise stage stop ? Bout 20 miles east of where ur at. But they have great food, great service and care about truckers. And you wont have to worry about getting ur hood torn off

 

Drove a tri axle t800 for a fella. My big 6'8 frame was wedged into a that truck. Knees on the dash, head on the ceiling, feet flat on the floor. I'd lean down every time I hit a bump so I wouldn't smack my head into the top of the cab.

I too used a 2x4 in there to get my heel level with the pedal. I brought one with me today to do just that on the trip home.

Here's the sensor for the hanging pedal.



And the oem floor mounted one



Looks like the same sensor to me. Should in theory be able to use the sensor on the oem pedal and put it on the floor mounted pedal and it work.

The hanging pedal pushes the lever down. The floor mounted pushes it up. So long as the travel distance is the same for 0-100% I don't see an issue. I might just might have to have my guy come out and recalibrate the sensor to get it exact but idk.

I've seen other guys do it and they used the sensor that came with the pedal and re-pinned the pigtail to make it work but of course didn't say just what went where, figure it's pretty hard to mess up if I use original wiring and sensor to the truck, may have to extend the wires but that's nothing some solder and heat shrink can't fix.

 

I just can't picture you in a paccar product.

 

And a ton of parking

 

Here is one you don't see much.

Le sigh.


Happy Monday.

 

I hate going back to work after days off. I dread that alarm clock after a week of sleeping in. Ugh. However, the briggtside is.....I get to tarp out in the pouring rain......score.

 

Yep small hole, fixed column, a 13sp where you could NOT pre select the splitter before moving the stick. She had a 60" flattop which I thought I'd like, but seemed like you give up a lot of floor real estate being a bolt on bunk..

Yeah they seem a little too fancy for the likes of me.. Just a lowly Shaker kinda guy.. lol

Hemmed & hawed over that t600 for a few days. Rust free, no body damage, green is my favorite, & she had potential to be built into something nice. & boy I got to say, had no idea a Big Cam could run like a sewing machine!! That engine sounded nice, didn't even vibrate the truck at all at low idle, & puffed a nice dark cloud when you laid into her..

 

Back at it myself.

 

And yet, your still in a freightshaker.
It's a working theory.
