Good early evening folks

Howdy,
I just got home from Pittsburgh a little while ago. I'll get the package in the mail tomorrow.

Sounds like you had a productive trip.

Good evening sailor.

Okay guys, 'splain to me how 2 almost identical trucks ride so differently.
I have made 2 trips to Pittsburgh in the past month or so. 1st time had a brand new F150 XLT 4x4....It rode very well.
This week I have another 2016 F150 XLT, but 2 wheel drive. The ride in this truck sucks...I felt every bump on I-70 coming and going....Neck is not happy.

I wouldn't think there would be that much difference in the ride between the 2 trucks, but there is a noticeable difference.

Hello mom45!

 

[chocktaw2]

Tires? Load?

Suspension.

Semi-productive.
Main reason for this trip was to try a new recipe for a customer. The extruder I needed to use this morning had a serious breakdown last night. Two weeks out of action...So I'll have to go back over the 1st week in December to test.

Tires? Load?

Load was identical, it might be the tires. Although I did notice todays truck has Michelins and those are usually good tires.

I'm getting new learning experience at work. I have to sell (beg) for a new pier with our development department tomorrow morning. I still don't have much of an idea as to what I am doing. I have it priced out and made a rendering of the pier but the wording as to why we need is hard for me. I was told I cant use "Because the old one sucks donkey dick".

Air pressure, has to be the air pressure. It's always the air pressure!!!!

I'm only asking for 250k. That shouldn't be a problem...

You'll be alright.

First, tell of the pain and problems that you are having with the current set up. How many man hours are wasted on the old pier.
Explain the features and benefits of the new pier. Will it require less maintenance??
Close the deal....ASK FOR THE ORDER (Or in your case, permission to issue the P/O)...
