New O/O, Old truck what do I need to keep her in top shape?

Lightly dab the inner valley. I don't know what to ccall It but most of my contact is in that area around the plate.

Any further out just forces it out and drips on the mounting. Making a globby mess. And it don't wash off.

You'll see where it contacts the most.

 

Beside maintenance,i believe couple of things are very important in adding years to your engine,do not idle if not necessary and let that engine get warm and ready when starting your day and don’t shut it off immediately when u stop.

 

Its affordable, I buy their services in bulk so not a lot for me.

 

You can get oil sample.kits from CAT too. Oil changes can be out to 20k easy depending on how much you're idling.

I would NOT run synthetic in it unless you know for sure the previous owner ran it exclusively. If you switch from conventional to synthetic you will have leaks everywhere.

 

It ain’t worth a crap in hot weather. It gets warm and runs right off. In cold weather you can’t get it out of the bottle

 

Its confusing for most of us too.

The OA may help you with what he put into the truck but I would have not bought the truck unless the records came with it, all the records.

 

NICE! One a-hole looking at another,,just kidding, you can't go wrong with a Superliner. Basically a glorified R model with a bigger hood to accept a larger radiator for the bigger motors, I put a R model through hell, and it never even flinched. The Camelback spring setup was indestructible, but many had that NeWay air ride I didn't like. Haven't seen too many with a 13, most had a 5 ( or 6) speed, or that funky air 10 speed. Regardless, an excellent choice.
