We did it with the beside-beside one time....Have you tried bump starting your truck by pulling it with one of your wheelin' rigs? If anyone could do it, its you
So what did you do with your truck today?
- Thread starter GOOSE
- Start date
Thought about trying to run a yellow light on a right turn but decided last minute to stop after seeing some cameras… ended locking up the rear wheels of the truck for the first time ever! Still can’t make a u turn without cussing but at least can stop on a dime.

My efforts to remain low tech had their first big downfall this past week. I insist on using the old Kodak, PC, and flip phone method. My internet router quit working Tuesday morning. I tried calling the internet help desk for my internet provider. The determination was that the SIM card in my router was bad. I decided to wait until today to drive down to Hays, KS which has the biggest store in the area. I did end up with a new SIM card, but it came wrapped in a new router. Oh well. The old router lasted for about 10 1/2 years so that wasn't all that bad.
Next, I went on a temporary, imagined sudden weight loss program. I didn't really lose any weight, but while I was in Wal-Mart, it sure looked like I did once again!

I'm even closer. I live less than 1 1/2 hours away. That's also about how far I live from the center of the lower 48 states. I've been to the center, I drive by the twine once in a while, but haven't stopped.So close to the worlds largest ball of twine........

I just had the opposite experience, not completely opposite mind you just related to locking up the rear wheels.
I recently fixed my rear ABS thingy. I am not sure how, just got to fooling with it, cleaned all the contacts, plugged it back in and for the 1st time in the 18 years I've owned this truck the ABS light is off. Had to make a rapid stop at a light recently and didn't lock up the rear tires. One mans progress............
getting a dash light to go off is a great feeling! Abs light was on when I got the truck too

It's only things that I've seen driving by. No research required on my part. Kansas isn't quite as bad as the stereotypes say it is.
I used to live in Hoxie Kansas an drive back and forth to Colby Kansas as well as Nebraska an Colorado within 45 minutes or so for those states n 1 hour for Colby I n used to pressure wash liquid feed trucks from cattle slaughter yard at a going rate of $500 per truck the driver made the price n let me tell you liquid corn after a few days is like concrete in a tanker truck that has nips at the bottom like a milk truck

If i remember, Hoxie's kind of in some hills. At least it seems like there's some hills between it and the interstate. I haven't been in that part of Hoxie for over 20 years so I don't remember it really well. I have been through on Hwy 24 a handful of times since.

It seems like I've heard of them before. I can't remember where, but the name sounds familiar.

They are a large Medium and Heavy Duty truck parts salvage operation with sites scattered around the Great Plains and Midwest. I think they started in Iowa and expanded outward from there.

Started doing some brake lines. Pulling front hubs and servicing them, cleaning the knuckles while at it.
F350 restore is coming along.
