If they make a kit for the Taco, I'll have to get one.

 

When we lived in Arlington we used to go to the one in Cambridge all the time. Haven't been in like 2 years.

 

I didn't have be going so slow to drop from 2nd to 1st in my WS-6, then again, completely different animal.

 

Same here. No syncro's in 1st. Not many cars have them for whatever reason.

 

The WS-6 most likely have 1st & Reverse syncros.

 

And on that note I'm outta here. Later all.

 

No throttle controller for you!

 

I was just reading about that here. Maybe it's not worth it.

 

Could always gen a first gen. Alex do you have the V8? Or 4.0? Just did a timing belt in the iFouce V8 what a pain in the dick

 

Or you learn to "listen' and shift all 18 without the clutch

B-58 duplex and 6-speed lo-hole...trucks I was taught on..

There is NO better view...the "things " you see may surprise you everyday..

Sad but "TRUE"... Our fleet is going ALL automatic for 2 reasons...new "breed" looks into a cab with 2 sticks and the Boss is tired of the "shop" bills for professional "Gear jammers"...
Remember I get "Paid' to "Play in a sand box" with those views

 

Apparently were my dad works they have professional "transmission grenadiers"

 

Those are THE BEST drivers , just ask them... ..

"What do you mean I can't shift into High range in lo-lo, I just did it BUT that blue button is now on my dash"

"It would not go in that gear so I dropped 3 gears, it went in BUT dam what a Bang it made...been vibrating ever since..must be the tires "

And now with the "autos" it goes ..." Dam stupid truck, I went to shift into reverse and all the piece of $hit did was stall...Would not let me back up until it stopped completely and now all them dam blinky lights stay on"

 

Yeah there are a lot of brilliant people driving big rigs out there. Like then they drive off with the dock lock, or when they try to force the trailer in places it won't fit.

 

Great thing about those guys is it creates oppurtunity for other "noobs" to get "actual time" with spotters...

My nephew jumped up a notch or 2 in seniority due to being a "yard jockey" expert....He now gets to Drive the Set-up rigs to the "events",unload them...enjoy the event,pack-it up after the end and drive back while being PAID the whole time ...

Dam alley ways and tunnels in Bean Town might scare others but he now Enjoys the challenge... ....I like it....

 

4.0 but if you swapped the 4.7, I wouldn't complain . Love me some V8 rumble.

I've looked into Jon's engine bay and I usually say "holy shit" or "good luck with that!" when I do, ask him lol. It's a complete and total pain in the ass. But the 4.7 is crazy strong and awesome. I want!

 

My Saturday workplace setup. It's almost like I go camping every week, except not.

 

Bruins ftw!!!!! But how come the little bed, do you sleep at work lol

 

Just got back from a new place for us. An Italian place in Wrentham called Cafe Assisi very small but great food

 

We can nail down the time for Sat but I agree that a lunch run would be better.

 

Pics from mod day! Thanks to Alex for all his handy work!!!
