[strumem90]

outta curiosity what gears are you running?

[IDIDieselJohn]

Factory 4.10 ratio.

[SuperJohndeere4020]

What kind of mileage do you get in that?

[IDIDieselJohn]

Around 15mpg easy driving.

[SuperJohndeere4020]

@IDIDieselJohn ha, that's funny thats exactly what ours is getting.

[idiforddiesel]

[IDIDieselJohn]

Nope, still looking for a body.

[idiforddiesel]

do you use the cb often?

[IDIDieselJohn]

All the time!

[jmurray01]

omg! did anyone hear the ghostly "jesus is love" when the cam was pointing out the drivers window. maybe a ghost trucker!!! spooky!

[REBEL2250]

you must have an AM only CB radio lol. the guys talking were on SSB and you can only talk to them if you have SSB mode on your radio.

[IDIDieselJohn]

Yeah I think it is an AM, I know the one in the RV tho you can talk to anyone, but it's been updated (it's the very same CB as this one) but this one a little while ago I was able to talk to some people, but the connections under the CB antenna are a bit corroded so I don't get good far reception anymore and can't talk to a lot of people.

[mcelrec]

WTF is the second person saying? Haunted?

[REBEL2250]

they were on sideband. that was an AM radio.

[IDIDieselJohn]

Idk, but around 2:10 he said "Jesus is love" like 5 times..... creppy!

[REBEL2250]

haha that is creepy!

and yeah you need to get a radio with SSB.

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

i wanna get a cb put in my roadmaster when i get it.

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

the sweet sound of diesel!!!! i gotta get me a diesel van soon!

[pickupman1995]

Is that a Midland cb radio? cuz i got a Midland in my truck!

[coupescuts]

Looks like a cheap Radio Shack job

[IDIDieselJohn]

That's what it is lol.

[IDIDieselJohn]

It's only a Radio Shack crap.

[NJFordPops08005]

very nice, brother :)

[jeepoffroad12345]

How hard was it to instal the CB?

[IDIDieselJohn]

Dunno, it's my dad that installed this one back in 1990 when he bought the truck. But shouldn't be hard, just a bunch of wires to conect and find a place to hide them.

[jeepoffroad12345]

Oh. Sweet

[keanerulz25]

sounding good, you not so..

[MRF2FITTY]

[IDIDieselJohn]

Not for sell!!

[AOO08DOYOUHEAR]

Still sounds great. I'm hopin to drop a 7-3idi in a 73-77 F-350 and turn it into a towin rig

[beavisPDBSK]

errrm... 180 km/h top speed on the spedo?

Dont think its that fast, isn't it?

[IDIDieselJohn]

Tops out at 130 km/h lol 4.10 rear end.

[beavisPDBSK]

well - 130 km/h is still impressive for that thing...

[jovanvictoria]

nice man does she roal coal?

[bagawk]

He has some videos of the E350 rolling some. These engines will usually put out some smoke under heavy load. Capable of tons of smoke with the IP fuel gov turned up... but thats bad on the engine.

[IDIDieselJohn]

Not much, only when I tow a heavy trailer.

[themaritimeman]

Sweet!
