Truckin' Songs

DTroy!!

Teddybear is a good tearjerker, ranks right up there with "Giddy-up-go"

How about "Whiteline Fever" "Around the world with the rubber duck" "East/West bound and down" and ya can't forgit C. W's "Classified" and "Four wheel drive"



I'll wave as I drive by the Petro Thursday night, Goin' west for the holiday with the Jeep, cause the truck ate the radiator



Have a GREAT holiday and Hope ya git your truck runnin'!!

 

[PatrickCampbell]

I should be there with my clown tractor. Spins tires in just about every gear with the Catcher. Oo.

Probably will not have the duallies on just yet. Can't fit in the driveway with dually and it uhhhhh has expired Arizona registration so I don't want to park it on the street. Trying to milk those AZ insurance rates... $80 a month vs $300 a month in NJ.



I will definitely hit the CAT scales. I am guessing around 6500 lbs. fueled and tooled up with me in it. under 7K with dually conversion!



So NJ people want to convoy?

 

[MSalvatore]

count me in. Where to meet for covoy?



Marc

 

[PatrickCampbell]

Is Warren, NJ right by Hackettstown? Maybe you could meet up with us while we are heading west whoever we is.

 

[DTroy]

Thanks for the info JS !



I just listened to Giddy -up- Go for the first time. Good song.

And Whiteline Fever.

I'll have to look around for the other ones.



Should I ask what happened to your rad?



If you need to make a rest stop on I-81, swing on in !

Even if you don't need to stop, you should. You don't have to stay long.



If you're taking the Jeep, then you shouldn't have any conflict with you know who.





Enjoy your Christmas!

 

[DTroy]

You lucky buggers with the convoy.....



Take some pics and I'll post them on the PA TDC website.



No, the site's not ready yet. I was going cross-eyed writing html code. It'll drive you bonkers.

 

[master1578]

OK DTroy! I've seen the times of your posts. All different times of the day... or night for that matter..... Do you ever sleep?! :-laf



BTW, I'm in for the 7th Oo.

 

[DTroy]

Nah, sleep is overrated !



I guess it's a bad habit I picked up from working swing shift in the past.



Glad to hear you're going to make it.



And that goes for you too MSalvatore. More people ! Oo.

Sleep Is A Mental Weakness!!!!!!

 

[JSienkowski]

Well, it didn't eat it YET, But I had it in my neighbor's garage attempting to do the KDP (harmonic balencer frozen on-no heat wrench) I saw more air than fin in the rad and figured I'd better not chance it, especially pulling my 33 ft camper, I figure either in the middle of "Four mile hill" or just the other side of Scranton, I'd go up in a cloud of steam!! When does it look like you'll get your truck back??

 

[DTroy]

Mike, I think we would have a lot more more fun if we didn't spend so much time sleeping our life away!

J, It sounds like the road salt victimized you too. It made my 'Master Lock' hitch pin one solid piece. My pintle hook is frozen solid. And the ball doesn't want to come out of the bed.



The VP ships out today. I should have it Wednesday. The truck should be running Thursday. Once I get it home I have to upgrade the fuel lines and maybe the pusher pump.



And next week I upgrade the turbo.



Hopefully everything will be fixed and broken in for the Meet.

 

[JSienkowski]

I'm thinking with the way the fan clutch came off (Air chisel the WHOLE way) everything might be original. Talked to a Cummins Tech my buddy knows, he says if the pin hasn't fallen out by now it won't, or, it would have about 5 years ago. Still gotta find the oil leak on the front of the motor.

Wouldnt buy stock in that statement..... GIT ER DONE!!

 

[JSienkowski]

I got an oil leak on the front of the engine anyway, so the covers coming off, just fer the piece of mind factor.



Let me know how you like your ATS manifold, I'm putting one in the "after da holidaze" budget

 

[b.ferrara]

when i did my dowel pin, i used the tst washer fix, it came with camshaft seal

changing that and new front cover gasket no more leak. "NICE"

 

[ATVX4]

I'm not sure I can wait till the 7th!

 

[DTroy]

Signal's right... I wouldn't take any chances at all.

Having that pin fall out is one surprise that I wouldn't enjoy.



JS, I'll let you know when I get a manifold. It's only on my wish list right now.

ATVX4... . I was at that diner by your house not too long ago.

Maybe a few of us can swing by there one day for a coffee. Just a thought.

Sounds good. Let me know.

 

[ATVX4]

How about breakfast tomorrow? Anyone. Anyone. :-laf

 

[DTroy]

If I didn't have holiday plans I'd say sure. Another weekend would be great.
