Enders- "deadhead ?"

[fatcat]

What is she referring to when she said the car deadheaded ?

 

[my friends call me Zappy]

I was wondering too...not familiar with that term

I'd say it nosed over, or she saw the center patch of a Hells Angles jacket. Lol

That's the term when the gears in the tranny don't mesh. You pull (or push) the shifter and it "Dead Heads" not engaging the next gear. in a split second the engine will hit the limiter and you lose momentum. Sometimes you have to abort the run, sometimes it will engage once the limiter hits. It doesn't happen often, but it has happened to everybody out there at some point.

I thought it meant that if you hauled a load with your big rig from Los Angeles to New York, but on the return trip you came back empty, thus not getting paid, meant you were dead heading.

I thought the term referred to a bunch of people who are fans of a rock band that's been around much longer than it should have been.

 

[Leebone]

It means her car started singing "Casey Jones" !!!

 

[CrewMan]

I guess you could say that the car stopped "Truckin'"

Interesting term...never heard it before.

Beats hearing the car "wouldn't go into 3rd"
