Kevin Rutherfrauds $200000 Signature glider truck has complete engine failure!!!

Pittsburgh Power...name says it all.

 

They are using BG moa. Could be just another snake oil, but it seems to have a fair number of positive reviews. Then again, so did Slick50...

No need to go to PP for your magic treatment -- can probably get it at your local NAPA.

 

Malinson said the technology has been around for a while, just never used in semi engines, IIRC. I don't exactly remember 100% what the article said, sorry. Other than adding a chemical to the oil, letting it idle for 15 or 20 minutes and then dropping the oil and filter.

 

I learned long ago that you cannot out engineer the factory.When I rebuild automobile engines,I try to stay away from trick components.Smokey yunicks book power secrets is a great read.Most of his concepts apply to any engine.

Everyone has different skill levels, and yes you can out engineer the factory. We did it all the time with motorcycles.

 

Smokey Yunick. That's a name I haven't heard in a looonng time. Even had his book at one point.

 

Next time you get elbow deep in grease pulling wrenches, wash your hands with ATF and notice how clean they become, other than they oily residue of course. Putting ATF in an engine and running it to clean sludge and such is an oldschool thing. Not saying they are using ATF but, as said earlier it probably same thing they are using and jacking the price up. Companies like that are same as parasites living off unsuspecting host... Lot of drivers with no mechanical knowledge, that does not mean they can't drive a truck, just means they look for others to fix their truck and can be taken to the cleaners unknowingly. Asking ?'s beforehand is always good.

 

I've been turning wrenches for a long time. My empty weight would probably drop ALOT if I ditched my tools. Free up a lot of space too. I have never heard about ATF like that before. Interesting.

Learn something new every day. Check off learning for today.

 

Yep. At the engineering level, when it comes to motors, everything from wear rates to oil consumption and change intervals is all tied to fuel burn. It's why the change intervals & consumption limits change based on duty cycle.

 

So if I got something that will make your engine look better torn down at 1.5 mil you will buy it ? Does it matter what it costs or how much better it looks ?
