    Muffler on a multi-fuel...?

    I just finished welding on a Moroso spiral unit, looks almost stock. Much easier on the ears, but still a good whistle from my "C", will still need earplugs with the passenger window open at highway speeds. I didn't notice much performance difference, but the EGT's get up quicker accelerating...

    Resistration issues in Iowa!!

    I have a very informative letter in the hands of one of the good guys who is a member of the house transportation committee. He has already contacted me saying he is looking into it. Hopefully he is able to inform IDOT they're on the wrong track with this issue!

    Every home owner needs a truck.

    Definately check with the CLEO about the truck being parked on your property, I did this and they were fine with it. Several complained but got nowhere. I ended up building a shed for her anyway. The big issue now is that IDOT is refusing to issue new titles to ex military vehicles newer than...

    Resistration issues in Iowa!!

    ACVOLT145 did get an Arizona title and had attempted to transfer, I think he just mistyped in above post about SF97. I had a DOT inspector at my house today for an unrelated issue, and upon seeing my deuce we got into a conversation about Andy Lewis's decision on these issues. He said it is in...

    How High of a Garage door?

Theres about 6 inches clearance at the cargo cover with 9-20 NDT's. Room to get the wheels off both sides, and drop the tailgate but thats about it. Mounted lights...

    Inflated a 9.00x20 NDT to 110 PSI Today

    Yes, on company time. Total BS but management has no balls. We have 2 guys barely 20 years old that text all the time and are a few minutes late every day. I would have canned both of them a long time ago but not my call.

    Inflated a 9.00x20 NDT to 110 PSI Today

    I had some genius kid at work stick a clip on chuck on a tractor tire and then went to lunch after getting lost in a text message. Our shop compressor is set at 130, and the ensuing blast not only ruined a $1500 tire, but also cleared out an entire work stall like a bomb. Lucky for him he didn't...
