Yep, it's a problem. The thing is the bus stops change every year based on where the kids are at. My aunt is a school bus driver, and gives me the "scoop." When on back roads and by-ways on weekday mornings and afternoons, it's just something you have to be conscious of, and keep your head...

Guess there is a 14L S60- I learn something every day:) My S60 spins about 1300 RPM @ 60 MPH. Truck has 3.58 rear. This rear ratio and RPM is fine, consistent mileage in the 11 MPG range. Can go up the longest of grades fully loaded with no downshifting. Acceleration is a bit slow unless I...

RE: putting someone in my van and signing them on Use your own good judgement. As a retired cop, you should have the best human judgement known to man. Trust it. -Weave-

That is exactly what I have been thinking from the beginning, if you look at my posts. The Cat 3126 block has to be initially removed and bored for the sleeves, an "out of frame" rebuild in other words the first time around. Consecutive rebuilds could be done in frame, but if and only if the...

Yep, that was me.. I am in that area a lot, usually sleep at the exit 28/Sligo Pilot. Drop off at Ford and Dana in Louisville on a regular basis. -Weave-

Not sure where you heard the 500 is 14 liters from, as far as I know the only Detroit S60's available are 12.7L. There used to be an 11.1, but no more. My truck has the 470 HP S60, derated through the computer to 360, which is still more than enough for my single axle D unit- it can blow just...

If that price quote is ligit, it would be cheap, and definitely make the 3126 much more likeable if the job works decently. International DT's can be in-framed for about $4000. The Cummins C8.3 cost $6700 to in frame with the turbo. My Detroit is about $6500 for the in-frame, but I probably...

He-He... "To irritate and intimidate" has always been my copper motto. (I'm just joking around, so any law enforcement who sees this don't take it personally please:P -Weave-

Not sesame seeds, just poppy seeds. They are small, almost powder-like. Most often seen on Kaiser rolls. Opiates are derived from the poppy plant, and that is what eating the seeds will test one positive for. -Weave-

Testing it on the Bjorklund program, it is perfectly legal to do the 5 and 5 continuously without ever violating the 14 hour clock. This program is nice to have to text theories to see if they legally work or not with the new rules, and he updates it anytime a change in the rulings is made, so...

Looks to be a leaking O ring. But, the thing is a major pain to remove as just about every piece of the engine plumbing goes on the adapter. Brought truck to my local mechanic to get fixed as it's a bit too much for me to handle myself esp. with the weather outside. Looks like another few days...

Saw on your profile you are from Cleveland area. Don't know of anyone there right off hand, but check around in phone book for places that specialize in trailer repair, they would be the best source to get a used set off a wrecked trailer and could install them properly for you. Maybe someone...

Rich wrote: "I think you can also take sleeper and off duty time provided it is consecutive to restart the clock." Nope, that's the stupidness of this rule, and what the fight is over. You can split up sleeper time for at least 2 hours to stop the 14 hour clock, but it (14 hour clock) restarts...

Most expedite straight trucks use dolly legs connected together through a shaft, the same as trailer landing gear. I bought 2 used (late model, nice) Holland Forumula 150 legs for $450, and have them installed on my frame rails individually, not connected by the shaft. This will allow me to set...

Thanks for the e-mail Jimmy. I think we all are curious to see what can be done with the 3126 short of a replacement. I think what they are wanting to do is something similar to the Cummins B/ISB engines, that is to sleeve re-useable uncracked blocks. DaveKC will find this funny- had first...

My mom was watching this "Myths Revealed" show the other day. She told me one thing they did on there was to reveal the myth if eating poppy seeds, such as those found on a roll, will cause one to fail a drug screen. The conclusion in their test, which was very scientific, was yes, they will...

That is interesting the things that could be done in the past. Am curious though as to why a block that has liners to begin with would need oversized liners? Is it just that guys wanted to do this to get a little bit bigger bores and more power, or is there something that can happen to the...

When are they going to realize there will never be a computer that can drive a truck? When will they realize the importance of truck driver skills, safety, and legal compliance, and that those skills are not something that can be taught to cheap uneducated labor? When are they going to realize...

Put yourself on there too George. A lot of you old Roberts folks were into this long before I was, and so to say "laid the foundation" for express trucking. Like just about every business except undertaking it has changed a lot, and the Roberts folks who have changed with it and stuck with it...
