    That inline 6 was a solid engine. Had an F-150 with it. Should have never sold it.

    Thanks for the replies guys and the advice .
    First of all espresso I get one or two passive regens a week that I notice as it always has and no I haven't pulled any samples since I quit having Morehouse do my lube work last spring .

    Well tony I checked around with my local truck lube shops at home and nobody carries valvoline oil products which makes that switch kind of a pain in the yang .
    So after some rational thought I'm going to give the rottella semi syn a couple more drain cycles and see what happens ...im 8500 miles into the first drain cycle on it now .
    I'm just outside Chicago now and still hasn't used any since LA some maybe progress ?

    I gave it some more thought and I really don't need this thing blowing up 1700 miles from home so I scheduled it into the shop between Xmas and new years for an overhaul .

    Had a cat dealer in sparks do the C-15. 670k on it. Did the platinum or what ever the top of the line full warranty job is. They did a good job, took 2 weeks. That was done in 2014, was about 23K out the door. Sold the truck 3 months later. Got the money back on that investment.

    Unloaded in east pa and reloaded at Newark NJ back to Nebraska and then to gibben ne to north Baltimore Ohio then reload back to Omaha and home for a couple days .
    Really unhappy with these Bridgestone steer tires I had put on last February ...they ride horrible ! And already shoulder wear typical of a firestone .
    Gonna run em a couple more months and pull em and put Michelins back on .
    The Bridgestones with make good trailer tires for my pals with their own trailers when I pull em at about 60%

    2 weeks in a row now, I'm going to be late for an appointment, due to mechanical issues beyond my control. I know that stuff happens but, I still feel bad when I can't do my job properly.

    Last week it was a tire on the tractor that blew. Brand new recap, with barely 1500 miles on it. That took 12 hrs to get fixed.

    This week, it's an ABS sensor on a trailer that went bad and cost me almost 6 hrs. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

    I think ever one has a day like that. Sometimes it a week.
