Bear nuts himself :ROFLMAO:

Exactly, Heavy is ok. Off-road is ok but heavy and off road is really hard on equipment. Pick up truck based 4x4's Even F-550 class are made for very light off roading. Dirt roads, muddy jobsites and such. I run a 2001 F-550 at 18,000# out of 19,500# GVW every day. I have no reliability issues...

That matters not, if Roshel was able to convince Ford to make a tune for the engine to allow it is what matters. The Volvo engine in the MSVS SMP Mack is just a truck engine tuned to accept multiple fuels.

Are the Roshel units able to run on jet fuel like the Mack's?

Hell that happens here. When the PEI government decided to take over the video lottery terminals they basically stole them. They gave the owners peanuts for them. Pat Mella even said the payment was a token amount. I didn't like the VLT's but the owners didn't deserve their property stolen like...

I grew up wrenching in the 90's and I never seen it done, I heard about it being done so I think 70/80's might be more accurate. Some heavy duty brakes still use replaceable, bolt on friction material. The only ones I have seen have been on highway coach busses. But the new material is sold...

I never found the love for vinyl. I'm a little young, when I grew up my dad had a record player but I used cassettes. I put a starter bid on some watches and some jewelry for the wife.

Thanks, a couple things of interest.

IIRC the US border mandates were levied in response to our border mandates. And the consensus was if we dropped them the US would follow suit. I did a quick Google search but it was flooded with articles about the mandates ending and I couldn't find what I was looking for. Exactly what I was...

My post didn’t take sides, I simply said if he met with them and listened to their concerns things would have disolved quicker. I didn't say I supported them. As for who should he meet with? How about the ones charged for leading the protest? You say there was no clear leader but the media at...

Did you even read my post? It's common knowledge that when angy people feel heard and respected they calm down. It works even when the answer is no. Feeling heard is more important than the outcome desired. The convoy didn't want to be in Ottawa. They wanted to go back to work and feed their...

Just imagine if PJT had acted like a statesman and had met with the protestors and listened to their case. He had lots of time he could have met them at any point along the route. If the protestors felt heard and respected they likely would have dispersed. Instead he acted like a scared child...

you will find people will start rebuilding older cars to keep them around. Like in heavy trucks right now a 1995-2007 model truck is worth a lot more money right now than a 2008-2020 truck. One of my customers just paid $105,000 for a 1994 Pete and sold his 2022 Pete because he couldn't afford...

ICE vehicles burn when they are being driven. It often starts with oil getting on hot exhaust components or electrical overload. Sometimes due to a collision. Very rarely do people get injured from the fire because they often have ample time to exit before the fire gets too bad. AFAIK EV'S burn...

When it comes to electric trucks these guys have the only viable answer IMO. They take out the 15L diesel and put a 9L diesel generator in the truck. Then they install electric axles and build the truck to handle logging in B.C. The batteries stay warm because the diesel engine coolant heats...

Or... the fact our politicians are bought and paid for by the one country that has cornered the market on EV battery minerals. That wouldn't drive the EV mandate at all!

You are right, drones can be hacked but as they typically hang out at 40,000 ft it would be much harder (in my mechanic mind) to hack them than a UGV which someone could sneak up on and get within a few meters of. I'm not saying UGV's are a bad idea, just that these things need to be planned for.

Also A Bradley crew is much harder to turn against its owners than a UGV which can be hacked.

https://www.canada.ca/en/navy/campaigns/hmcs-oriole-great-lakes-deployment.html It seems she did a great lakes tour this past summer. No doubt with recruitment in mind. Maybe we'll see more. Had I known about it i would have taken the kids to see it.

Exactly, who dosent like a good underdog story. Hollywood has made many movies like that. But use you head people. "Let us keep our minds open, by all means, as long as that means keeping our sense of perspective and seeking an understanding of the forces which mould the world. But don’t keep...
