    Anyone recognize this?

    Here is a video of the damage in my area. It has a good view of the Thrie-Beam transitioning into a W type. We have bridges that were destroyed about 10 years ago and are still not open. The money goes to the big cities on each end of the state and very little for us. Here is one closed...

    Anyone recognize this?

    I think you are right, that tapered section just at the end of the twist may be where the guardrail joins a smaller section that goes into the ground. When the high water washed out that area the smaller section likely had a round piece or chunk of concrete attached to the end that rotated with...

    "Burnishing" your new brakes. WTF......... Now I've heard it all. (I'm raising the Bullsh!t flag)

    🤣🤪😩 That right there is about the best example of misunderstanding of the current manufacturing process. They will do absolutely nothing.

    It is more than wearing the new shoes to conform to the drum, the new technology of material relies on adhesion to grip the drum surface. In the good old days when you had asbestos the brakes would work fairly well from mile one.

    Buyers of "new" trailers may have no idea how many miles are on the trailer and how the brakes were treated before delivery.

    You ARE wrong, trailer brakes are nearly all drum brakes and the material has changed. Read the instructions from the brake manufacturer and do as instructed. When I replaced my trailer brakes they barely worked till I did the burnishing procedure. From Dexter: NOTE: After replacing your...

    FEL slowly goes down.

    Is the fluid level the same as before? Did you exercise all cylinders several times to the full extent of their travel?

    ORD

    For at least 6 years I was crossing into MD where the tax was 30 cents less, just last year they raised it to just 11 cents less. I will still go there knowing it will be about breakeven considering the additional miles but it gives me warm fuzzies knowing PA ain't getting it to waste.

    OK one more bytch!

    Looks like you can get a flip phone, that works with your Verizon sim card, today at Walmart for $40. You can buy batteries on eBay or Amazon for little money, some brands of phones may have a video on how to replace it.

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    The bottom line may be close enough. Your idea of cutting it there has some merit, I have been putting off tearing it out because it still works with some small ozone holes behind me. The NOS evaporator that I have has the possibility of welding the pipe from the old on and I might have a guy...
