Pictures, movies, personal commentary, and of course pictures of speeding tickets... Feel free to post what you have for the benefit of everyone unable to attend. Maybe we'll need another thread

I should be there Saturday morning.

and of course pictures of speeding tickets....

That means you have to get to and exceed the posted sign! Not many trucks on this board can do that, unless you're in a 25mph zone!

[bullgear]

Previous commitments prevent me from coming (again). I had a couple jeeps (M151 and M38A1s) I wanted to drag out there to see if anybody needs one. I won't waste bandwidth here but if you're interested here are the CL ads. I'm about an hour from Denton.

air problems. i fix one thing and a new one rears its ugly head. replaced air governor, then the air dryer. now 2 air leaks. fix those now 2 more. run the air gauges up to 160 and the air dryer pops off like its supposed to and when i push the brake pedal and release the emergency brake i lose about 20 or so psi like normal. i pull emergency brake back up and take my foot off the brake pedal and cant build 160 psi no matter what..........lol so im thinking im losing air through the brake system somewhere.

It happens! I still had small brake fluid leak and low oil pressure after a 25 mile test drive. I tightened up the offending brake line and changed the oil. Hoping that fix both of my problems - if not, mine will be there for show only, no convoy. I am not sacrificing safety - driving with a small brake fluid leak on a single circuit brake system is a no no in my book!
