One of my semis is an old Ford Pepsi truck. It's got a 3208 cat in it and an automatic. I really don't mind it at all. It has a short wheel base and is easy to put places with the flatbed or grain trailer. She will turn on a dime and give you change. It's no speed demon, though. During harvest when you leave the field you just put your foot down and let up when you get to the elevator. I think most Fords are junk - but they know how to build big stuff well.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
