    You ought to fit a leisure battery with split charger and a Chinese Diesel Heater to it, no battery issues then and plenty of heat. You can use the CDH on the move too. I have one in my classic VW camper and it's great.

    Bruce you're an inspiration. Just because we made choices, doesnt mean we need to live life forever because of what we did back then. I applaud the way you bounced back and have the little man and Amber with you now. No rear view needed bubba just keep the eye on the open road in front of you. Thanks and good to see you again.

    @danrowley6934 2 года назад

    Drove a cornbine when I first started out. Possessed. Everytime I passed a cornfield it got the need to get in there & do some plowin'. Once you're done beatin' yourself up driving a cabover look for a hood. Remember, your front end is right under your tush. So everything your drivers side tire experiences you get to experience as well. Right up your spine.

    For being an old truck, Blue Collar still looks pretty good even with all the gremlins it may have! I also understand that it is not the most comfortable truck for long-distance trips. It sounds like you might want to invest into another truck which is perfectly fine with me as a viewer. Have a good one Bruce!
    As for the oil leak and as a mechanic for a bus company, I'm guessing that it is from a cracked oil line (likely a solid metal line) which explains why it started off as a slow leak and has progressively gotten worse.

    I learned to drive semi in a mid 70s Freightliner COE , 290 Cummins 13speed. The one I drove wasn't even close to being as nice as yours . Take care , be thankful , and proud of what you have. If something happens, you may not ever get it again. I'm speaking from experience !

    So many people rave about cabovers. I would guess most of those people never actually drove a cabover for a living. Bruce is learning quickly why cabovers died a quick death after the length laws were relaxed. Climbing over the doghouse to get into the bunk, get dressed lying down, and take an endless pounding day after day from that wonderful cabover ride quality !

  • @the.porter.productions

    Porter greetings! 🇺🇸 Some Vienna sausage, water & bacon…Yummmm! 🥰 Now there’s some tasty eats! The blue lights…oh, yeah! Gotta be a little different with the lights! Cabovers…that’s the American Dream right there. Hey, a good looking, good running truck is what you need. Hope that you get Blue Collar fixed and Fixed Right! I’m sure they will take care of ya. Climbing in & out of a cabover isn’t that much fun, but it is some good exercise…believe it or not. 🤩 It’s a little tight in there, but you got your dog to cuddle up with.🤩 Being out on the road isn’t always kicks & giggles, but it’s as much fun as you make it. Good stuff! 🥰😎✌️
