I spent the last two hours of my day hold my brakes and trying not to sneeze. The dash was sitting at a 25 degree angle and it took two full-size wreckers to pull me sideways I was creeping off the shoulder to get out of traffic to open the gate, the super single caught the edge of asphalt and pulled me right off the shoulder, Tags were up as I was going off highway. The whole truck teetered if I moved, the company owner pushed up on my driver mirror a little bit and it didn’t take much, I had about 20ton in the bed and was headed to our dump site. Two hours of don’t let off the brake, don’t turn truck off as the tow company guy said cranking it over would possibly tip it. And don’t move inside the cab. They wouldn’t let me out. Whole lot of chew and camels consumed today. Time for some whiskey now!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dang BidDave, not a fun situation to find yourself in. Hopefully you hadn’t drained your 78oz Big Gulp full of soda yet. A full bladder or having to use the bathroom would have made that even worse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I guess my electric bear fence doesn't keep out cubs. Really hard to see but baby bear on the trailer tires...mama in the background
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
85-90? Are you serious?
Would not like that on the road. I should likely change all my lines with 200k. I have a small leak on the firewall from the push on fitting. Got the fitting just other projects (till it goes). Dave, torsion bars do not alter the ride unless you bottom or top out and loose travel. I have a vibration I am looking for, believe it is the IFS disconnect worn out (Ken?). I have pushed it sometimes with the gears being off but have another unit when I lift.108 here yesterday.
A torsion bar does not change it rate when turned, it is supporting the same weight. We only adjust our TB about 5*, not enough change the geometry of the suspension arms in relation to the TB.Now JMHO, but I think it comes down to we have always been "told" it makes it ride harsher. Think it is more travel and shocks.
So on the new truck, pics?
As I said, JMO. I think the amount cranked will affect geometry some, but unless extreme it should change little. Be cool to actually check the change if any at diff angles.Ken, did you see my question up higher?

Not saying it isn't possible... just haven't seen it
So just curious, why not take it back to the dealer and have then fix it?

Ryan, I like the GMC wheel wells so much better, good choice.16,400, not even broken in.

Out in the front pasture spraying glyphosphate along the fence line and the tractor dies. Brewed another cup and going to take some tools out to see if I can get it going. I think it may be the safety switch under the seat. I assume that circuit is normally closed and then opens when the switch is unloaded from the seat moving up. Any of you guys have any experience with that?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We're in Caldwell also. Last day today. Tomorrow we pack up and head over to Craters of the moon national park. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
