    The 83 362 I drove had a Cat in it, only truck I ever drove that would roll coal and flames out both 6" straights if not careful on a mountain. Just glad I had the opportunity to experience the cabovers as well as the hoods. I have a 1980 4070 I may do something crazy with later on if all works well with the W900 I'm doing now.

    Just being an old motor. Figured it would help keep in lubed . Talked to few older guys. They said a quart in each tank. Being the low surfer diesel is refined different.

    Yep the pipes glow just a little. Yes she loves too roll coal. Not even turned up. Took it too Thompson cat. Old mechanic said she's running great just watch the pyro on hard pulls. And don't srcrew with the pump.

    Fella turned me on to running some 2-cycle oil in each tank. So far, so good. Runs smooth.
