    Yes they cut the frame and bend the rear section down at the factory but that’s before the frames are heat treated. However it doesn’t matter because it’s on a section of the frame that isn’t load bearing.

    Bruce, those air horns are adjustable for pitch. Grab the neck and turn the back to loosen then you can adjust it for and aft to get the pitch you want 😉

    Hey Bruce, if it's not too late, you should put Raptor liner under the half fenders so that rocks don't dent them and protect them.
    I hope your relative enjoys it.

    Fab up a fifth wheel tool. Snag a king pin off of a junk trailer and weld it to a piece of square tube that will fit over one of the the forks

    Cool that cummins stores the odo reading on the ECU. Late 90's to mid 2000's BMW's used to store the reading on the ECU, LCM, and body/seat module which makes it really easy to tell if someone tried messing with it because if all 3 don't match you'll get a dot on the gauge cluster. And most people messing with odo readings aren't going to put in the effort to make sure it all checks out. Unless they specifically tell you one of the modules has been replaced without recoding it you'd always know it was tampered with. If nothing else you could haggle the price down and if you're in Europe an M57 with 500k on it is barely broken in lol.

    Not going to lie, this Pete and your old blue collar are my favorite trucks that you have owned so far! Don’t get me wrong I like the other trucks you have but you really can’t beat a classic truck.

    I think a lot of people aren't sending in for merch cause "Blue Collar" had a new engine & clutch. Maybe their scared of it cause it may end up have "Wiring" problems I don't know. Good Luck to Ya!!!!! At the same time I hope "I Win It Yeeeaaahhh"!!!!!!

    I’m having fun watching y’all work on the Large Cars. I wondered as well why you didn’t try to salvage the driver’s door window on the Freightliner you dismantled with your telehandler, but I ain’t losing sleep over it. Then on the other hand it seems more people are wanting to drive like a wreck looking for a place to happen, even some Rig drivers I hear our dispatch describe over the radio driving like they lost their damn minds. So you’re, sho nuff, going to have plenty of parts and donor vehicles available.

    What you are doing to Hank will look realy great. A little chaotic your style of work but ok it´s your style.
    Getting good parts of the wrecks is a realy good idear. That you intend to give the engines a good bill of health is a good and will give you a good reputation in the business. You are right by saying that parts which take a long time to remove and give you only a small profit are not worth the time.

    Of course you can just cut it out. It's probably useless. It should be alright without it. Them wheels will still turn afterwards.
    Just get rid of it!
