Where is everyone #5

And a conversation piece it is! Holy cow man.

I may get the head off sometime today. Can’t get any parts till Monday. I piddled with it yesterday but didn’t have a lot of time. It’s the center head, but ya have to pull the front and rear valve covers, jake heads, valve train and rocker boxes to get all the bolts out of the center head for removal.

 

@stwik i usually eat at “taste of Tokyo” when I’m down there. It’s a hibachi/ sushi buffet. You can get a bobtail in the parking lot but is is pretty tight.

 

"Ahhh, you guys can have that oversize stuff. I made big money doing it. At one time I had 80 drivers and trucks hauling oil field stuff....I made BIG money......back when I had my trucks and was an owner operator...."

Oh?.....why are you driving for Schneider now then? Are you saying you failed?

Hmmmmm....

@sawmill you ever notice it's the same story everytime? I realize some of those guys really are legit. some retired, some fell on hard times no doubt...but they always have good stories or advice. I'm talking bout the ones that you can tell ain't done ####.

It always starts out..."yeah, back when I had my truck..."

 

That's a hard No!

 

Even with their nationwide sales and service network?

 

One of them setting not far from me in Ohio. He bought it new and won't even talk about selling it!

 

As long as you're in Europe, you'll be fine.

 

Oh Lord now you've done it...... he will be in here looking now lol.

 

Yea I got a 1999 Peterbuilt 359 with a series 60 Big can Cummings in it. 15 triple over with about 900 horse. Yeah she’ll pull 150,000 pounds 90 miles a hour up monteagle with the Jakes on. Yup, just workin for swift to get some money for tires because she smokes em off so fast.

 

Good one. I've heard that crap more times than I care to count.
