That's him! Great guy, talk to him almost daily.

I may have mentioned this before, but the guy who runs the army/navy store in Clyde is a member here. He might be a good resource for you to get to know, and he's always got some cool surplus, too!

I really have a hard time reading your posts. If you would use punctuation and paragraphs it would make it much easier for me to understand. Please forgive me that I have trouble and need more structure. Point 1 - you're arguing that because courts were corrupt in the '70's (before CDL's even...

There's real merit to that, but this regulation change doesn't do that. It merely forces people to go through a school, which is just required to teach to the test. There aren't even any minimum hour standards.

The fact that churn-and-burn law firms advertise looking for potential plaintiffs for cases with commercial (read - deep pocket) defendants does NOT mean that having a CDL changes the legal standard. I get what you're trying to say - there's more risk out there if you get in a crash in a CMV...

There certainly are additional standards that can make driving tougher for a CDL holder. For example, in my old state of VA, drivers of commercial vehicles had a lower standard of presumptive impairment *when operating a CMV* at .04, and all CDL holders were ineligible for driving school as a...

1 extension of the 6 month learner's permit, for a total of 12 months, is all that is allowed (as of now). Learner's must be obtained before 2/7/22, skills/pre-trip/road test can be done later, along with medical. This is for anyone seeking an entry level Class B, entry level Class A, upgrade...

I wouldn't give up air brakes at all. If you haven't picked a donor yet, I'd try to find air brake system or one that can easily be adapted to use them. Obviously that'll preclude 2.5T axles and leave you in 5T+ area. The EASIEST would be axles from an M916/17/20. DT466 is a great motor. '05...

I have seen this a lot, too. As well as 813's with 5th wheel plates added in place of the beds. My buddy is trying to buy a pretty-well-used M932A1 this weekend from a logging outfit.

They're biblical, I tell you.

Welcome to NC! Glad to see your rescue is progressing nicely!

What about a DT360?

I had a Banks kit on a 6.2L in an M1028. It made a difference over stock, but it still wasn't what I would refer to as a powerful diesel.

I recently replaced my brick fuel filter with a spin-on with a chamber at the bottom to drain water, and a hand priming pump. Had to fabricate a new bracket, the filter housing hit the valve cover when I installed it on the factory bracket. Still have all the original stuff, too, in case I...

That is a clean looking truck!
