    Did you replace them or did you pay someone to replace them. Most people that put them in won't put in the sealant because they are a lot harder to put in with the sealant.

    Had them put in. Had a rock come off a side dump when I was out.

    If I remove my main dash panel after a hard rain, will I be able to see the water?

    Also, now my brakes won't disengage my cruise now. My brake lights work though. Is the floor pressure switch in the block bad?

    On a totally different note. I'm getting quotes on quonset huts. I've been told they are alot cheaper. I had an old one at my old place. Just used it to park equipment out of the elements. Anywho, if the price is right, I will go pick it up. Then buy a jib for my loader. Either rent or buy a man lift. Anybody ever assemble one from a kit? If I get one....what am I in for?

    Heartbreaking. Glad I got to visit the Othello Tunnels before they got flooded out.


    This is actually the area where they filmed Rambo: First Blood.

    The trip is between 20 and 30 minutes each way.
    Round trip loaded one way was about $600. They charge by length and weight.

    When it starts to get really crappy out I’ll have 3-4 pairs up there drying and staying warm.

    That gets tricky...I got a pile of brake pressure switches in the shop. Usually you will get lights on the dash. The problem is it depends on how your windshield support is rusted out how the water travels..

    Pull out your windshield.... you'll find the holes.
    Mine shouldn't seal...but it does and I don't really care as long as I can haul the next load.

    If your running a two million miles truck it's junk and your on borrowed time unless your gonna do a ground up.

    I have a nice truck sitting in the yard....so I don't care. I'll keep running my junk till I can't. It'll take me a month to get that truck going. I keep the parts in the shop.

    If ya get down this way stop by.... I'll help ya out all I can.

    Not a fan of these guys. Should you ever have the displeasure of meeting any of them, you probably won’t be either.
