  Check your tires!

Every now and then there is a topic started asking about driving on old tires or someone wanting to know what pressures to run without having any idea of their axle weights.  
No idea of the age of this 18 wheelers tires but just to show how an obviously inexperienced driver can lose control in a front tire blowout.  Tragic results for the other drivers.

And as an aside we just drove 1300 miles in the Lexus and I can't understand why anyone would slowly pass an 18 wheeler on a 4-lane.  Get around them as quickly as you can so you don't suffer the same fate as above.
Here's one of the trucks that were hit in the opposite lane, one guy died, 15 calves in the trailer died, other guy miraculously survived.

This is a follow up to my post from the other day. It's coach 629, not 638. 
Anyway, looks like it has moved to a consignment lot in FL. Below is the link.

  Brass Plumbing Union Restoration

The Headhunter Mach5 outlet fitting cracked which required breaking open the 3/4 brass union above it.  After replacing the cracked female to male part on the Headhunter the brass union would not seat and leaked.  There being no replacement near our location I went to NAPA and picked up some valve grinding compound. I used a small vice to hold the lower half and a cordless drill motor with duck tape over the chuck to grab the upper half.  With a small amount of lapping compound between the parts I was soon able to get the two parts well mated.  On reassembly no leaks with less torque on the mating ring as well.

  Mystery Radiator Spray Nozzles

[attachment=8664]There are two of these spray nozzles, one on each side. The PVC pipe attached to them appears to come from a solenoid valve back in the water compartment although the piping is difficult to trace back. Are they some kind of a system to mist the radiator with water for extra cooling?
