    The last company I worked for I was driving different trucks west coast turn arounds team. I drove several different BXS Cats with 1.3 - 1.5 million with no rebuild. Never added any oil to any of them but one, and that was one gallon one time. You may have a few years left in that engine.

    mine is an mxs , it uses no oil , and holds 62 pounds of oil pressure at 190 degrees. I think you are correct. I am not doing the platinum til it needs it. I have just decided to go that route instead of a new truck

    Pretty sure I'm as safe as it gets right now. Have had the parking brake set for 3.5 hours. By the time they get the road clear its gonna take another two hours waking everyone up.

    I guess I made the right decision to stop at the Walton weigh station. I wanted to make it to Glendale.

    Hey guys, I need some help. That volvo that I bought uses a lot of oil, so I'm going to sell it but how much tax the 2290 type do I need to pay? Or should I wait till I sell it then pay it? FYI I used it jan and feb. I am debating going down to fort wayne and paying it now or waiting till I sell it. Opinions are welcome. Rob out.

    You made the right decision. I'm still sitting here, sports napping on and off over the steering wheel. Needed to be in Pittsburgh tomorrow afternoon. Something tells me that's not gonna happen now. This might not clear up till morning, and by then my but will be dragging way to bad to try to run another 450 miles.
