    DEAR GOD YES!!! Squeaky hood mounts are infuriating. Maybe pick up some hood socks, I think they're called that. It's a little cloth thing that goes over the rubber bumpers on the firewall. Beats the hell out of grease.

      They dry out over time. The acid at the streakin' beacon doesn't help old rubber either. They might have neoprene or polyethylene bumpers by now. Last time I drove was in 2010. A lot has changed in 13 years.

    They make Hood socks that go on the rubber boots to keep it from squealing might find some at the show. I'm 34,200 empty I pull a tanker in

      Yeah, like I was saying I had almost 10,000 pounds on you still. I think a lot of people underestimate how heavy Goliath actually is. All that siding you see is all steel plate. Not aluminum not fiberglass. All steel.

    Welcome to Louisville, boss.. don't go downtown to the "big four bridge" or downtown altogether.. well, maybe go to the Louisville Slugger Museum.. I live in Middletown, which is a neighborhood in Louisville.. Hope you have a good time / visit.. Have a bourbon for me..
    Oh yeah, we've had almost 30+ murders this year in Jefferson County, so... stay outta downtown Louisville.
    The airport is Muhammad Ali International and UPS world hub.. ALL international flights come to Louisville get sorted and fly back to wherever they came from.

      Chances are I will not leave the exposition center for the entirety of my visit this year. I didn’t bring a support vehicle like I normally do and I’m not gonna try to navigate Goliath around downtown.

  • @grisslebear

    Might consider an Eaton Fuller 13 speed. The ability to split the top side keeps the engine closer to the center of the torque sweet spot. Last one I drove was ~600 rpms between full gears, & ~300 rpms between the splits. Definitely keep the original tranny for history sake, but maybe upgrade the drive train for better performance.

    • @amsoiladam
      @amsoiladam  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, an updated 13 speed is definitely on the list. Not sure when it’s gonna happen but it’s on the list.

    • @amsoiladam
      @amsoiladam  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I definitely want to do the 13 speed. Unfortunately the engines is little trickier because it’s a DDEC 1 and there’s not a lot of stuff available for it , Specifically tuning

    I think it would be more enjoyable and efficient to drive f t had a 13 speed Eaton. Maybe a swap n the future? Just an dea.

      Yes, a 13 speed is definitely on my list. Unfortunately there’s some things I have to prioritize first but I’m looking forward to that project.
