jake,i have been for over 20 years!
that isn't good !!! look jake! both hand valves should pop at 60 psi. most trucks will pop before the trailer does. check for a bad brake can or 2 i'd start there and work forward.

evening guys...spent all day screwing around w/ a skid loader...injection pump went to hell on it, and got it buttoned up today, and the damn thing still smokes white like nobody's business! i messed w/ the fine timing all day and really didn't get anywhere...i think tomorrow i'll tear the front cover off and check to see if the gears are aligned properly. dad overhauled it about 2 years ago and it was alway hard startin for some reason...perhaps he screwed up. too bad he can't be like his son and never mess up...

Good Morning to all my Nebraska Brethren, and all my buds visiting from afar! Morning Jerry, how's things this morning? I'll be curious to see if we get all that ice/sleet/ freezing rain crap today.

I know what you mean, from what i heard is that all that ice/sleet mix will be a bit farther south, but i have also heard this morning that we could see any where from 1-2 in on one station to 2-4 on another, you know how that goes, so well probably see about a half in or so.
I have a question for you, how do you like your 6.0? ive also been looking at 4door trucks and from what i have found i can find them for around 11k, it would fit my needs for a truck as well as room for 5 of us. Thought about the Dodges, which i really wouldnt mind, however there isnt enough leg room in the back and i dont want to jump up to 17k or so for a quad cab. so for now im looking at the 7.3 and the 6.0 PSD, I like the 7.3, but other that what dad has had with his PSD (I Never Drove it) i would like your opinion.

Heehee....Yeah, if you don't like the weather on one channel, go to another one til you find a better forecast!! I hope we don't get that freezing rain/sleet crap. Not only will the drive home suck, but my daughter is having her preschool Christmas program tonight, and she'll be heartbroke if it gets cancelled.
How has the truck been running? Is it doing okay?

The "GHOST" has been running good, normal temp on Guage, but no heat, just stopped by autozone and picked up a 160 degree thermostat so i can put that in today after kid gets out of school (1230) that way i have time to do it and its a bit warmer than 9 degrees. still sort of looking for that 4bbl intake, but not to hard, may just wait on that until tax time so i can take motor and trans out and have them both rebuilt, that way i know itll be able to handle the 4bbl well
