Flair fittings (45*) arnt really used in hydraulic systems.
That is not a JIC fitting, it is NPTF, National Pipe Thread, Fuel.
It means the only thing consistent in trucking is change, that and that dispatchers are like ground hogs

There is a reason Red Maple is also known as Swamp Maple, but it also grows right next to Sugar Maple.
Dispatchers are the offspring of the devil, and must never be trusted. We don't have any dispatchers in the house, do we?It means the only thing consistent in trucking is change, that and that dispatchers are like ground hogs
Suggesting that what I see is a local dispersion issue... and/or an observation issue. For example, I never realized how many ash were around until they died!
Just like you never realize how many vw cars are on the road till you buy one....Suggesting that what I see is a local dispersion issue... and/or an observation issue. For example, I never realized how many ash were around until they died!
Or one of your sons sells them.
I’ve always noticed them …… sitting on the shoulder
My son worked as a tech for VW for a year or so . He said to me “ Don’t even think about buying a new one “ he went to Mercedes and you can’t believe the amount of warranty work they did .Or one of your sons sells them.
can't say I've noticed that, or really any car in particular sitting on the verge. The 2 I've had (have) have been very reliable, given you kept after the timing belt. Both diesel though. Really liked my 86, got it cheap, ran it for a lot of miles. Was sad to let it go. Was so rotten I was afraid to jack it up. The 01 I got last year is originally from the south west, basically zero rust on it, so I expect to have it for anlong time.I’ve always noticed them …… sitting on the shoulder
I figure it's a good place to get an education... Whether he stays there long haul is a different story!
He left . He is working for a small local company that installs radios and computers in New York State police vehicles . Making more money and it’s an easier job . Seems they can’t get candidates that can pass a background check . He was the only one of three new hires to pass it
Nothing surprises me when it comes to cars. Probably why I've become a car Luddite... the less tech the better! The $1,000+ tail lights in the new Ford PUs is one example of a stupid "improvement." When used as a work truck broken tail lights are pretty common... especially if you go off-road.
My brother in law works for a chevy dealer down in Lancaster, I expect I'll get some more good stories from him this weekend when we have Easter dinner. He does mostly truck warranty work, but said he was getting sent out for ev training a few moths ago. Can't say I'd buy a new one, and I sure as shite don't want them working on my truck either.
Times have changed for sure when it comes to substance abuse. When I was in the business many guys, in the front and back, were drunk or stoned at work! I couldn't stand working in that environment... Drunk and/or stoned managers were hard to work with.
Think it’s more criminal record than drugs .
