    I'm the second owner of mine, its a 260 inch wb with a 63 inch. I was gonna put a 36 on it but then I found the number on sleeper matched the trk so the 63 won. Got a nice 36 though I don't need. Its factory dual breathers all I like is the paint can't decide if I want red with black fenders and top or black with burgandy fenders and top. I have drove for relatives when I wasn't off mechanicing for a pipeline company but this is first experiance as a truck owner got a lot to learn there I tell you

    To me its about the money, I purchased my first truck on 1980. Been awhile. My operating authority 1994. I was netting .71 per mile after all cost the last 18 months with the 84. I hope I can regain that fast. I adverage 110000 miles per year.

    I'm all bout the money too, just hope my thinking of buying a really clean well maintained older truck that I will have a little less than 20 of real money in will help me make money. Its paid for I didn't want a payment to start out on. Course I'd like to look cool just once in life. What would help me is a steady run, with the cattle or the dump wagon its nothing to do or can't do enuff. This just something I have always wanted to do and I decided its now or never.

    Are you sure it isn't a fuel knock. A rod will have a double bump to it

    Warped piston will knock too.

    Mech Cs could be had until 1999 for highway use. They were gonna stop in '97 but still had pollution credits with EPA to go to '99.

    I have '96 8PN in a FLD I bought new.
