Sodly, again no pic but here's another one for ya:
I used to have a 1986 Dodge Ram 50 (built by Mitsubishi). Mine had the smaller 2.0l with 5-speed manual, 2 wheel drive. I drove from near Houston up to Fort Worth and bought a 16' lowboy trailer. Then stopped in Dallas and bought a restored Ferguson TO-30 with brush hog mower. At that time, Texas was just in the process of starting to require at least one axle to have brakes, but it had not gone into effect yet. Any trailer built before that law was exempt. So, that little truck, on I-45 Dallas to Houston, and no trailer brakes. Traffic was light the whole way which was nice. A few truckers helped me out now and then by cutting down my wind resistance, but each soon got tired of going 53mph, which was top speed behind them. Without the escort, my top speed was sometimes as low as 40, but usually about 45 or so.
The trailer didn't come with ramps, so the seller simply drove it onto the trailer with the front wheels easily rolling onto the trailer. All of a sudden, the front end of my truck went flying into the air while the trailer went to the ground. Kinda shocked everyone. *lol*
Yes, an experience to remember....if I wanna have nightmares now! :shock:

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. 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.
