March '23 Chat -- "Drive to the sound of your own turbo"
Adjuster got back with me.. truck is not totalled... They're mailing the check... Per progressive company policy due to the amount.. I have to have signature of the lien holder to cash it.. If I had a working EIN probably could have bypassed the lien holder signature required. Check should...- malibu795

March '23 Chat -- "Drive to the sound of your own turbo"
Pretty much how I figured, Generally a vehicle is scrap once I'm done with it .. I've had two vehicles totaled out, one required me to salvage stamp the title the other didn't, neither has loans against them. Dayton Columbus area of Ohio.. I've got Hicksville auto in NW Ohio which is all dmax...- malibu795

March '23 Chat -- "Drive to the sound of your own turbo"
With nothing really to go off of.. frame horns are bent at least forward of the A-arms.. center link for into one of the ribs on the front diff. Front wheels still spin straight so that's a plus. IDK what the lien holder's position on a salvage title is... If it goes that route... Salvage...- malibu795

Definitely have the capacity to do it... See what insurance says in the coming weeks.. they'll probably total it, I have full coverage and lien on it, the main thing was to build credit history with it .. it's not my only vehicle to drive..- malibu795

Looking for a picture and the difference of the LB7 and the later style pistons.
Mine are race cast with 17.5:1CR They can be had with either moly rings or stainless rings.. pros and cons to both. Take what I say with a grain of salt.. when I reference something it's generally on 50-100k mile intervals.. And the truck dragged a 25,000-29,000lb trailer for 500-650 miles a...- malibu795

Trailer Brakes Too Weak
So you say🧐 Put a small battery on the trailer.. the EOH pump will run substantially better. It will pull upwards of 40A. Use the tow vehicle + bat circuit to keep trailer bat charged.. the battery acts like a capacity/surge tank of sorts. 😎 -

What did you do at work today?
If that coil is tipped over... 99.9% so is the trailer and most likely the truck lol I've haul tall skinny coils and you run a chain in a belly wrap style with the cross through the center.. pending OD/weighr anything less than 20" is on its side- malibu795

What did you do at work today?
Generally I agree. Pending the width of the coil I'll run the chains front to rear without crossing.. personally don't like the chains within 3-4" of the edge.. you actually bow the coil when tightening. With a 40k coil the trailer flexs ~8" ina. Static position.. more down the road.. I can...- malibu795

What did you do at work today?
Mainly moving them... while on the side trying to lift them, you run the risk of "ice cream coming" the coil. Either center pulls out or the outer pulls out either way it's a time consuming mess to fix. that coil was ~40,000lbs had 7 chains on it after the picture.. What you can barely see is...- malibu795
