Wow! That is disappointing! I've really enjoyed this old Freightliner. The cummins app is here https://quickserve.cummins.com/info/qsol/news/qsol_mobile_app.html. The only problem is that the app takes a cummins code and at least my Freightliner translates all of the engine faults into a...

Just a little rant about vehicle fault codes. I've been fixing a few things on my Freightliner crawler hauler in preparation for selling it. It had a few check engine codes after being in storage for 5 years, but on a heavy duty truck, it actually tells you what is wrong. Here is an example...

1997 2 Axle Freightliner Century FLC112 with custom rollback bed. Cummins M-11 410 HP with dual stage jake brake. 10 speed transmission with 2.65 rear end. Built to cruise at 65. Mid-rise 60" sleeper with 2 jack knife sofas along each side, each with 3 seat belts. Both fold down to make one...

^^This. I did the antibody test the other day, hoping that one of the bugs I got earlier in the year was it. I work closely with a guy who was hospitalized in January for a virus causing low blood oxygen level. For me the result was negative/negative. BTW, Labcorp will let you order your own...

Manual transmissions had a clutch pedal mechanism that wore out pretty quickly and was a hassle to replace.

I use a ScanGuage. I don't know that it is the easiest to use, but it works.

From personal experience, loading a non-running vehicle on a tilt deck is about as easy as it gets, just because it becomes really easy to winch once the weight of the car is up far enough to tilt the deck. Same getting it off - just roll back and be ready to brake. I've never used one of the...

Yea, Box just makes the loans, then sells them. Ours was sold to Bank of America.

I used Box last time we refinanced. They had great rates and were really good to deal with!

Stephen, Who is that with, if you don't mind?

If it is 120, it is really limited on what it can do with gas as far as material thickness. I just run flux core in mine.

^^ Another vote for white rocks if you want to get away from everyone. Cool places to explore.

I like the b-hyve unit. Been using it for a few years now. It is dead simple. Once programmed for my network, I just plug it in every spring and I can find it using the app!

There is a reason the stumpjumper has been such a good seller over the years. It is a very competent all-around bike! I have an older 26" model in the stable that I would part with, but it is an XL.

My preference are horizontal racks. I like the kind that don't touch the frame, but just grab on the wheels/tires. I have the Thule. Disadvantage is it is heavy and I think it takes more room than the vertical ones.

One of these days, I will get my TIG supplies. I've always wanted to build some stuff out of aluminum. This thread looks like an excellent primer.

Just a plug for that museum if you are ever in the Dayton area. I could easily spend a week there!

Yea, I know you said you didn't need 4WD, but I would find an old Subaru - almost any model.

This discussion reflects the absolutes that a lot of people throw around about politics - be they politicians or parties. Truth is every candidate has good and bad things about them. If you truly can't see that about any real example, say Donald Trump and Barack Obama, then I think you have to...

Its funny how the discussion here and elsewhere has moved from "flattening the curve" (i.e. reduce the critical load on the healthcare system, while allowing the general public to build some semblance of herd immunity) to protecting everyone. I don't think you can have it both ways. If we...
