Lol my family started poppin em out young. There was 5 generations of us when 8 was born.
I had to re-read the "power company" portion before I said damn what kind of place can afford to run the AC at 67 in a shop..a power company can lol
My dad graduated HS in 75 and mom in 76
We don’t live in an oven either
Haha true, I forget that not everyone is fortunate enough to have 4 seasons of summer.
I could go work in the shop if I wanted. I just prefer working in running repair as it's way more lax and more interesting.
We remove all the dpf egr hardware on the deletes we perform. Haven’t had any problems with them so far. Seen a big difference in fuel consumption though. I don’t do the tuning part so know very little about that. I know it takes about 4 hrs and I can have all the dpf and egr shit off and capped.

Only thing we delete is our pickups - gas and diesel. I wish they would delete or at least plug the coolant lines off for the nrs coolers on our D11's cuz they are nothing but a pia.
We just got some Komatsu 980 trucks with cummins 3500hp engines and they made sure we had all the engines onsite before the end of last year so we didn't need tier 4 emissions junk. We dont have anything with def yet, but everything new coming through the gate now will. Not looking forward to it.
God I can’t imagine how much DEF fluid those trucks will go through. I go through 250 gallon totes regularly with the D6s, 40 ton articulating dump trucks, and 30 ton track hoes.

I guarantee if downtime from that shit starts seriously affecting production we'll be deleting it too. We move 170,000 tons a shift and looking to be upwards of 230 000 by 2020. They don't like it when the shovels are hanging.
Yesterday/last night.. supposed to be 50*"70" 1500lb die was 6*15' 36000lbs. Die set... Two trips...
Gotta love it when people don't know how to read a tape measure or do the conversions when its in metric.'
Someone should have at least had a feel for what them dims were. Weight can be a bit misconceiving because of casting machining. but still 1,500 lbs vs 36,000 lbs is a lot of difference. how were they planning to load it? Did they try to pick it with a forklift and fail?

Had safety kleen in to suck the wash/test/grease bay out and our water reclamation system. New fresh water and fresh bio bugs will help it work better. Made it home and got brought back to come run the knuckle boom on the side of a busy highway after one of the other field techs lost a 6ft 2k lb production tree out the bed of his truck. Only used 1" straps and the broke and over the tailgate it went taking the gate with it. Truck only has maybe 10k miles and now need some bodywork.
