Really good engine. I've had two. Trouble free, good mileage (I averaged 7.5+ in a dump truck) and decent power for an 11.9 liter. Might want a...
I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a truck with that engine.
There is an analog gauge in the dash for oil pressure. Shows 40 PSI at idle and 60 PSI running down the road. Is that what you are talking about?
I have a Cat 3406C mechanical engine in a 1997 T800. The truck originally came with a 3406E. I didn't do the swap but it looks to be very well...
When you say tri-axle do you mean one steer axle, one lift axle and two drive axles? Or do you mean one steer axle and two drives axles? Because...
2005 T800 Around 350,000 miles and 14K hours.
Thanks - Yes, it was an old fleet truck but sure cleaned up nice. Turn signal is flopped over and headlight bezel off so I could polish easier....
[ATTACH] I have had great luck starting with 3M rubbing compound and then finishing with 3M Perfect-it EX. Expensive but works great. For my...
The mechanic that worked on my truck had a hunch that it could be the driveline. He pulled it and sent it to a shop that I believe was able to...
I had a T800 with a slight vibration when on the throttle. Turned out to be a very slightly bent driveline.
Yes, unbolt and plug airlines. It will be heavy so make sure you have a way to support it as you unbolt it. If it’s been on the truck a while...
I know this is a few weeks old, but have you looked at Chalmers? (Rubber block over walking beam.) Very stable and rides very nice in my opinion....
I don't think driving/owning a truck is a bad idea if it's something you're interested in. You just need to be smart about it and don't do...
I bought an '05 Halliburton T800 with a C11 a few years ago from auction. 300K miles with 14K hours. My experience: 1. Everything worked on...
Possibly your clutch return spring? I had a '97 378 that suddenly had no cruise/no jakes. Return spring had rusted and finally broke and fell...
If you're not ready to pave, kylefitzy is correct Scrape off any vegetation/dirt spoils. Put road fabric down - well worth the money if you have...
I also would move the equipment myself. However, if you're set on having someone else do it, I'd recommend letting them use their own trailer and...
'07 T800 dump truck. 4.10's, 8LL, C13. I like the engine, but I'd say the weak engine brake is probably normal. Mine is also weak.
I just went and looked at my truck. I have 14 switches on the right-hand side (like in your picture) and six switches on the left side. I think...
