I’m actually renting this, mine is in the shop getting the cam box gaskets replaced. The old N-14 Cummins Engines all start to leak oil around these cam covers. There are three of them on the left side of the engine and you have to strip everything off to get at them. Fuel pump, ECM, Air Compressor, Power Steering Pump.. 

It’s a rather lengthy and expensive repair. Considering this week is the annual “DOT Inspection Blitz” I’m certainly not running around with leaking cam covers.
 

This is a Freightliner Coranado, quite roomy and it has a Detroit Diesel in it, straight 10 speed. Not so bad, although the cheap plastic interior is signature Freightliner.

Handsome dog....looks pretty mellow. Brought my boxer with me when I was driving...did >500,000 miles with her. Always had to lift her into the cab...except once in winter in Wyoming...man it was cold! She knew the drill...up into the driver's floorboard..do a quick 180 for paw wipe. As a pup..she had a thing for the driver's seat air line. One time in particular...I-10 in New Orleans (the elevated part with no shoulder) during morning rush hour...I heard a concurrent yip of surprise and PSSSSSSSSSSSSSST of escaping air. By then I knew to have a few air line splice kits available.

Four months old and forty pounds?

No, she’ll be 6 months old the 9th. Here is a picture of my 1st Corso when she was around 4 months old?  20 years ago :(

Yeah... my lovely, little, precious furry best buddy has chewed into oblivion a very expensive Canada Goose winter cap, about $50 worth of apple charging cords, a pack of log books, 2 pillows... did i mention I love her? Etc.....

My 1st Corso ate one entire leather work glove. I wondered why she wasn’t eating and being very aggressive. Took her in to the vet and they cut her open and returned to me in a plastic baggy my missing glove.

i was wtf? How? Huh? Really? Geeze these dogs can do some wild shit... I’ve had to erect mini barricades around my speakers at home because I would absolutely freak if she started chewing on my cables.

I’m not into $10,000 a inch cables... but I do use quality stuff. Stuff I’d rather not have to try and replace at today’s prices...

Ohh btw, she discovered what bass feels like :)  hahahaha... was playing some Steely Dan ( Lunch with Gina) and turned it up just a bit. She was in awe! That was hilarious.

We always had rottweiler's, the reason for side car. Now the son is taking over. Rossi has been, let's say a handful, 13month and 53kg.
3 dead dogs in front of God waiting for entrance.
God asking the german sheperd, what have been your goals? disiplin, training and loyal to the master. Ok, on my right side.
God asking the puddel, your goals? Love, care from my master and piece in the world.
Ok, on my left side.
God looking at the Rottweiler asking the same question.
Rottweiler saying,,, your standing in my place.

My riding buddy years ago had a dog named Buck..,Buck was half Rhodesion Ridgeback and Half Great Dane..Big dog, maybe 160 lbs..My buddy had a new Jeep CJ 5 then with every off road attachment you could imagine on it, But  every time he would go to the Pub and leave Buck in the Jeep too long,..Buck would eat the upholstery off the seats..at first my friend Steve ..who is super Anal about his vehicles was so pissed threatened to shoot the dog and took Buck down to the beach to do it....but he loved the dog too much and he couldn't do it, So..eventually after 2-3  sets of Upholstery..we just saw him driving around town  for years in this beautiful Jeep with the exception that it had only springs  left on the seats and a towel thrown over them..Buck riding happily in the back!
