    theres a guy in my neighborhood who charges about $200 for oil and if you have everything changed and new filters it's about $600. then he started telling me about the filters that might cost $100. that's when i had second thoughts about using him.

    It was $255 even. Shell rotella, but they asked and it was the only answer I knew.

    Greased truck, trailer, 5th wheel. Also 2 gallons of coolant (1 concentrated followed by water).

    Said I had water in my front differential... but I just got that done last time! Passed on it until I could verify elsewhere as well.

    always make sure you use distilled water in the radiator or the minerals in tap water will eat your liners

    Thanks for your post!

    Well, now that the jig is up..

    I started this campaign months ago, that I'd drive anything that makes money, building up freightliners etc. Basically my plan was to lure Medicine Man into a false sense of security until he bought one.:biggrin_2553:

    But now, would I drive anything but a Pete? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR ##### MIND??? HELL NO!

    Pharm, we had an International a few years back that got water in one diff. Turned out, where the axle housing mounted to the suspension on top was cracked and letting water leak in. It made the diff oil look like a chocolate milkshake, not good. We got it fixed and only had to replace a couple bearings, but don't put it off too long.

    Check the breather vent on your differential.
    Its about the size if a 20 oz bottle cap, should be on top just inside the frame rail.
    If water is getting in somewhere else, there should be oily residue there. [ cracked housing ]
    Otherwise I'd get a candid camera and see who is pouring it in.
