    Congratulations. I know it'll feel good to be on the road again in your own equipment.

    Seems like I just posted this and here we are again. Today marks 53 years with the same woman, and I couldn't be happier. I definitely got a keeper, but I'm not real sure she did.

    Its from milton industries . Part number 1626
    Its a bit pricey but it will pay for itself in time and convience. Especially if u live in a place like me where the nearest place that couple build hoses is 2 hours away. It says it only does up to 3/8 hoses but ive got the 3/4 inch O.D. in the biggest crimp and made it work.
    I bought it back when i had forgot to unhook my lines before detatching my trailer neck and yanked everything out of there. Just ended up rebuilding all those connections right there. Havent had a single problem with anything thats been built and honestly it feels and looks better than the factory hoses. I think they advertise it will do even hydraulic and fuel lines and whatever other type of hoses but ive never tried any of that so cant say. But id imagine it would work just fine

    I've picked up a C4 habit. It's my go to when I'm in too big a rush for coffee. This Mango Fuego flavor has a little kick. Pretty good stuff

    And no cruise use at first.... Up and down, middle range , pulling good, kick it on up. Run a few, let it drop to below ?

    Every truck I drove out of Ft Wayne for Garrard was run this way down to Tupelo. At Tupelo, reset the governor and toddled on in...
    Occasion above the 2750 to 2829 , then back to the 2650/2700. All would run, and all would pull. Still had OEM engines when I left.
    You buy a governed truck, never stretch it out a little, it will never run. Worst wear is sitting singing against GOVENOR FOR MILE AFTER MILE.

    Only thing In here that is more of a need and not a want, kinda unimpressed with the vendetta seats, might still be a replacement for my current one just cause they are heated and cooled 17725762032213850854371033725624.jpg
