Where is everyone #5

Better than a Spicer. Good set up.

 

Sorry about that icky stuff they put on your plate. Is that supposed to be garnish ? Is the meal of delicious cowiness underneath it ?
Garnish. It's what's for dinner. Ain't got the right ring to it.

 

I'd prolly have walked away from it if it had any other.

Drove one with a meritor. Felt like I was stirring pudding.

 

Ifta is done!!!

Send me the check...

 

Really made my day today. We built it together back when I was like 20. Only wish I could have been there to see it in person.

 

Good set up then.

Nice light truck.

Mine is 450 HP with same trans and rears. I get 6.45 mpg without really trying.

I never needed more than the 450 hp and 10 speed with the 3.73. 65 is the speed with a few runs at 70. You won’t want to go much faster than that for very long though.

I’ve been in 45 states at legal weights all over the place with a flatbed. Never a problem with lack of power.

Maybe desire more power but never “needed”.

 

Knock it off. Out of the day dream, mister. You don’t have thumbs, silly Moose. Leave it to us bipeds. Back to your recliner, quick before you hurt yourself.

I’ll go out on a limb here. I believe you’re tipping your money down the drain changing your oil at ‘ intervals’.

I used FS2500 on the N-14 but am happier with Amsoil’s eaBP 120 on the Detroit. Spin on gallon filter - they recommend changing every 40k.

Adds a gallon capacity - 8-10% extra cooling and lube on most engines.

Sample every 8-10k, send to full service lab. I use Schaffer’s lab (oil too).

Why?

Well - for a start, why change oil if there ain’t a @&@& thing wrong with it. Hence the bypass filter - keep it cleaner.

More importantly - monitor for issues. Fuel dilution for example. How much damage through diluted oil from injector issues, through how many ‘10k oil changes’ before the injectors actually fail, and the problem is remedied?

Coolant leaks. Air leaks. High bearing metals. On and on. Simple and cheap.

It’s not about 100,000 miles on an oil change, it’s about engine health and preventative solutions.

I rarely run it out over 35,000 miles. Filter media doesn’t last that long anyhow. But just blindly dumping oil at 10k without a lab test, well, if you like throwing $$ away or it makes you feel better, then more power to you.

Plus - one oil change buys about 23 dozen beer.

 

Remember he rides a lil motorcycle cause that rack wouldn't fit in ANY car, prolly got flags on the ends maybe lights?

 

Nice.
