Same here.

Excellent. I'm glad you found Mr. Haney!

I'd call PDI and see what they can do for you. You might try contacting KT3406E as well. He has a Youtube channel by that name and I think you can contact him through instagram or something too.

This probably won't come out too clearly, but here is the first truck that I bought - 1983, 3406A DITA, 13 speed, NO power steering!

A friend of min recently purchased an 05 Pete heavy haul tractor that has an ISX 550 in it. He has noticed that the coolant temperature runs real hot (like 210) and engine oil temperature will get up to 250 when working hard and then stay that hot despite the coolant temperature coming down...

After looking at the pictures more closely, the hydraulic cylinders are mounted in a peculiar fashion. I'm not sure how they detach from the deck, and it looks like the black area around the bottom of the rams is the height control. Longhood, I have a 1996 Aspen 50 ton that has no lightening...

http://www.overdriveonline.com/overlooked-video-gem-reveals-a-bygone-trucking-era/ I ran across this video and thought others might enjoy it as well. We have come a long way since then, but are we any further ahead? Enjoy.

Just curious, anyone using air disc brakes? I remember that they came out in the late 80's/early 90's (if memory serves), but then went away because of problems. They seem to be popular on new trucks/trailers now. Does Tate use any Truckshop?

And here are some after we had her working: I helped with the build, mostly by doing all the wiring. The fellow that I worked for hired a friend of his who is a true artist with a cutting torch, and an excellent welder/mechanic. He designed it and built the boom/hydraulics, and the bed. It is...

Here are some of when we were putting it together.

I see that the rules for electronic log devices are now out (for the U.S at least). I was worried that people like myself who do not run many miles annually and have older trucks would be required to use these as well, but there are exemptions if: Your truck is older than a 2000 year model...

I have heard recently that the FMCSA is considering requireing electronic log books (GPS ?) for hours of service record keeping. I don't run over the road anymore, and have a lowboy to haul my equipment to job sites. I do work in a three state vicinity and occasionally must run a log book, but...

This may not belong in a truck forum, but I am curious about the use of nitrogen in truck tires. We purchased new tires for our Excursion from Costco. They installed them and filled them with nitrogen. I had not heard of this before, and asked them about why they filled them with nitrogen. My...

I just bought my first grade 100 3/8" chains. I got 4 @ 15' long with grade 100 Crosby (made in America) grab hooks that are pinned with a roll pin rather than cotter pins. OUCH, expensive, the hooks were actually more expensive than the chain. A bit over $600 for the 4 of them. We noticed...

Ok, I'll start. I have owned three trucks, the first was a 1983 359 with an A model 400, the second a 1989 T600 with 425 B model, and currently a 1989 378 with a 425 B model (slightly turned up) I did have a problem with the A model. I bought it with a fresh in frame and OPT warranty on it that...
