    When I was at the Barrett Jackson auction, I spoke with a vendor.. Wilwood.. Front slotted & red calipers. $1,600. But is their quality worth it?

    I believe, a flatbed with a rear-mounted forklift is not considered an 'over the road' setup, but local streets. ( Class B is due to airbrakes) Some reason, a chauffeur endorsement is purely for a requirement to be "trained" as a driver.

    When I was doing Formula-1 Tunnelboats ( we had 2 boats "stacked", and a Suzuki Samurai in the front)..We bought this rig from Boyd Coddington. The TopKick had a 12' 'RV box' attached to the rig, .... even though the whole rig was 79', it was classified as a motorhome !! ( second pic is...

    In Calif, a Class-B was required for heavier/ air brake rigs. We custom built a Chevy TopKick truck to "appear" as a pickup truck, so only a class-B was required to haul our big boat....

    The wildest rig I hauled ,was the first time I hauled around the country in the Unlimited Hydroplane Series. ( 1980)...... We had a 34' custom made Seebold-built tunnelboat hull, powered by twin Keith Black Hemi's. trailered on a modified " mobilehome " trailer...... attached to a ball...

    I've had a CDL since about 1989. Now, living in Florida, I am able to keep the Class-A, but don't need to have a medical card, as long as I haul within Florida and only haul private/owned stuff ( racing)

    Don't know..... But maybe an old OEM factory decal may show? Or a google search for year/model may describe specifics?

    Yup... Lower pressure = higher temperature. That is a common problem with dually tires ( semi's , etc )..... The inside tire pressure gets forgotten, because the moron doesn't notice.

    EXACTLY...... BUT.....The Firestone tire problem was not the Firestone tire design. Ford lowered the required air pressure to "create" a smoother ride. It was Ford's fault.

    At a higher speed..... if a tires fails..... DO NOT touch the brake.... That is what causes the 'ouch'. Steer straight... allow the vehicle to slow..... Be CALM.....

    Remember.... Stock tire treads are rated at certain speeds... But not for an extended amount of time. The damage may not show for a while.... factory treads are attached to the casing with heat, so heat will also loosed some of the adhesive. ( On the highway... when you see a tire tread...

    I replaced mine a couple years ago.... 'New- not a reman'..... AutoZone. Buying local is more convenient than online, if there is a glitch, it is replaced for life, in person.

    This truck is incredible

    As they say " In an accident, the bigger car wins"...... I am glad you were in a cocoon. I drove a friend's family to a concert in his 'boat hauler'.... I couldn't resist parking next to a death trap.

    I replaced a Northstar V8 in my '93 Cadillac STS ...... I cleaned, and MORE IMPORTANT, I heat-shielded as many fluid lines & wire harness runs, as much as possible, when they were close to anything that got hot. ( It was a great engine!) I felt so confident, when I protected all the stuff.

    You can also remove the inside insulation-insert, if needed. They fit perfect in the cup holders. Also, a regular 16oz bottle of water fits nice.

    Is this a crazy idea to cool my 4L60E transmission?

    I worked for a while at a performance transmission shop, ( owner - the famed, Art Carr ) I installed transmission coolers.... Some SUV's that towed, I mounted dual coolers. This Setrab is one of the best you can buy.
