Since we let our hired had go we have an extra truck just sitting around. So we decided to sell one and trade the other off. With the sale of one and the trade shouldn't have to pay much at all. Both trucks do the job but not as well as I like. This is what I'm looking at. 2021 Kenworth T880. Once we run the numbers I will ordering one similar to the picture. 500 + hp Cummins 7 speed Allison transmission, 16,000 lb. Front end and a factory pusher axle. Sent from my SM-T727V using Tapatalk

In and out of fields at a gross weight of 95,000 lbs. I have to have the ground clearance. I'm selling my 379 Pete and trading a 2015 Kw t-800. Neither of them have very good clearance. Especially the Pete. I'm always plowing the ground. Sent from my SM-T727V using Tapatalk
one side of the carrier bearing set slipped right off
Quote from: swbhobie16 on January 17, 2020, 09:26:27 PMone side of the carrier bearing set slipped right off ruh roah raggy. bearing journal is probably spun if that bearing "slipped right off" should be .002-.003 interference on the journal vs. the ID of the bearing race. I'd compare left to right on those journals. pretty common unfortunately in big diesel applications.‘slipped off’ is probably an overstatement. i don’t mean like julia roberts neglige in pretty woman.. i still had to put a puller on it and hit it with a big wrench. but the other side however, i mangled the cage lol.
Learned something new. Thought that was a tag axle. Nate that new garage is nice. You could also leave the truck outside and park that new Shirley Fab smoker inside...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rent house is ready for final cleaning tomorrow, and then it will be turned over and be done with....
well this is a couple days late, sorry.the rent house is gone, in the past...like a bad dream! I truly feel sorry for the good folks that actually own houses in that neighborhood and will have to deal with the future garbage that the slum lord rental company rents that house to!oh and it has been a successful end to 2 weeks on the job.
Off the top of someone head. To remove upper and lower ball joints on a GM truck do you need to release torsion bar tension? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nate, you quit after 2 weeks?
Beautiful day in the desert. About 70*. Not bad for January.
