    V-8 Cummins

    had a triple nickel in a Washington Skyloc 78 logging yarder years back cookoo I probably would have actually made some money logging if not for having to put all the profits back into rebuilding that motor. I made the mechanic a rich man though. As far as V-series Cumins go the best i've...

    Driving lesson #1.....

    Duplex I think, from what I have heard, the duplex is MUCH easier to two hand. Especially since you don't have any gate to fight through...just back and forth ONLY!! My duplex did have a gated shift pattern. The brownie was on the left side, as opposed to normal right side mount. Both the...

    Driving lesson #1.....

    that quadruplex was one of the smoothest 5 & 4's on the road, having the brownie on the left side was great. had one in a rl700l mack logger with a 335 (and yea you spent most of your time shifting the brownie), mack boggies for rearends. damn near bullet proof :draw. however the triplex...

    High Cost of Diesel Fuel

    If you really want to try to do something about the rising fuel prices contact your state and federal representatives and let them know that you are unhappy and want something done. Tell them to stop paying so much attention to the oil company lobbyists and more attention to us, the people who...

    How many of you guys

    Air Filter

    I use the Airaid on my 03 CTD. I have no complaints, it flows good and the oil samples taken every 5000 miles show all elements including silicon to be well within factory limits. However all services done on this truck since new have been done by a cetified Cummins shop (not a f**king D/C...

    Ice Truckers on the History Channel

    In the old days we had big balls. It was kind of by guess or by "oshit" Nowdays they have the Ice Doctor go out and test the Ice before we build ice roads that are engineered to haul over (of course those engineers never had to stand out in the middle of the Artic Ocean and listen to the ice...
