997,520 miles now on my S60 Detroit in front of 18spd and 2.64 diffs. Engine only uses about 1/2 gal of oil in 22,000 miles. Did have to do...
Well, all I have used in my reman 12.7 S60 is a Schaeffer 700 Syn blend... 10w30 in winter, 15w40 in summer. 982,000 miles on the reman. Still...
Yeah, they can do that. But the problem is more with the owner than the motor. If it leaks, repair it! I have replaced gaskets and such in...
It must be a new offering, and in the automated manual transmission (AMT) category. The manual 13 is not offered in a direct drive top gear. I...
Probably, if you can actually find a 13 speed direct nowadays. I know of no currently produced 13 speed direct drive top gear. 11th in a typical...

Had this issue with my 2013 Columbia. It was leaking into the rain channels around the door. A little silicone put in the channel to seal things...
VG turbos and waste gate turbos fail far more frequently than assymetric turbos. That is one of the reasons I yanked the waste gate turbo off my...
Seems the OPOC that I referenced is more compact and streamlined. [MEDIA]
Dear God, NO!!! The complexity and difficulty to work on is bad enough with an inline 6. Only a glutton for punishment would even give a thought...
The generator! Really! I have a Xantrex inverter/charger that when plugged into generator changes from an inverter to a battery charger. And...
When my Yamaha gen set is running, I barely hear it at all inside the truck unless I really listen for it. If I am next to anyone with an APU...
It arrived at the house in about 2 weeks
KSH Marine makes darn good generator boxes. I got the one I have been using for 4 years from them. They have generic versions already made up for...
I still use Schaeffer. Not sure what you mean by “minimums”
Yeah, just paying to keep CDL current is a good idea. My state is renewing DL’s including CDL for 8 years at a shot. I renewed mine in 2015 and...
