The 6 plus 1 is a Spicer transmission. It contains some "unusual" engineering, and based on my own hands on experience, is quite unreliable over the long haul. The 6 speed version is a fairly decent unit, but IMNSHO, look for an Eaton/Fuller transmission if you want a stout medium duty truck...

Back in the early 80's I was an Asst Rig Mechanic on an offshore semi-submersible drilling rig. The engine room was fitted with 5 EMD 16 cylinder diesel engines. Each cylinder was 645CID (9.1" bore X 10" stroke), rated at 3000HP @ 900RPM. I used to love standing between a pair of them when the...

In the states where the truck speed limit is 55 I usually run 62MPH, and I've never had a bear even give me a second glance. In MI, when the construction zone sign says 60, I go 55MPH. I have no other answers. Rex

I once came across a guy that was hitting himself in the head with a hammer. I asked him "Why are you doing that?" "Because it feels really good when I stop." he replied. Rex

Greg, The fans are rated at 34 CFM....the idea here is to be able to sleep comfortably! Combined with the breezeway window screens they move a considerable ammount of air through the cab/sleeper with essentially no noise. My PC, which my Nerd brother built for me, has 2 100+CFM fans and it...

I talked to the guy over a year ago when he had a truck for sale in the classifieds. His wife is/was a math teacher, which contributed to the Co. name. Located in Florida IIRC. Rex

At the moment, the "Silver Pullet" is not equipped with an APU. I have been using a combination of Breezeway window screens and a pair of computer case cooling fans that I mounted in the upper sleeper windows that pull air out of the sleeper. This set up is pretty effective unless it stays in...

>Wow now that really gives you something to think about... Yeah, like, "I'm really glad I don't drive a '61 Simca." The video looks to have been shot many years ago, judging by the styling (or lack) of the cars and the lorry. Rex
