    Mine is going to the shop, atleast the plan!
    what kind of improvements does a tuneup typically do? What should I expect under normal conditions?

    Never owned, worked on or driven a Detroit except a drove 2 stroke in a '78 KW cabinover. I'm a mechanical Caterpillar man. Guess I should have kept my mouth shut!

    sweet memories.. Dave there is no way to bring them back. I suggest you look forward. the Bright Future is waiting us. Nuclear powered, unmanned, real time tracked trucks are the future. And
    whole this industry will be operated by ONE BIG CORPORATION. :biggrin_2558:
