Broke down

Otter · 10-25-2005, 03:59 PM

I'm in Knoxville, Tn. My new tractor had an accessory drive come apart, so I'm here for at least another day. Parts being flown in from somewhere. Maybe I'll scour the memory banks for some words of wisdom to post for my friends here at Gun & Game.

Shaun · 10-26-2005, 01:37 AM

too bad it wasn't in Nash could have gotten together

Set up. I drive a new Freightliner Classic XL, 515 hp Detroit 13 speed, 3:58 ratio, on 24.5 rubber. I've got Refidgeator, Microwave, Directv dish, 13 inch colour TV, Sony VAIO VGN S260 1.6 ghz,512 ram, notebook on a First Mobile Technoligies tilt/swivel mount coupled to Earthmate GPS. Kenwood TS50 hf all mode, Kenwood TM742A Triband 6m,2m, & 70cm fm transceiver, Yeasu FT100D hf,vhf,uhf all mode transceiver, & BCT7 scanner, all running into the MDI Communcations Audio Control Unit. Fortunately I have my battery charger, extention cord,and electric heater with me. So I'm doing well, parked at the Frieghtliner dealer near an ac outlet waiting for them to get an accessory drive for my engine shipped in from parts unknown.

!!!! Otter thats a palace compared to what I used to drive -- next time your down this way I would love to see it

Almost had the truck towed to Nashville, I was in Sparta when I found the problem, Nashville Freightliner said they wouldn't get me in until the next morning and Knoxville said four hours, so the boss told me to have it towed to Knoxville.

Hey Otter...don't be shy. Tell us all the details. Doesn't that setup come with a 36-38-36, too?
