    After a few talks its a no go on that truck. :biggrin_25513: Just not worth the headache they are trying to make it be. Can get a starter rebuilt around here for cheap even.

    Is this the right place to gloat about my fuel mileage??????????? :D :D :D :D




    I mentioned some where ealier this week I was running at 65 now because of the price of fuel. Well that didn't seem to work all that well. A disappointing 5.4 up from a previously disappointing 5 or lower depending on how much idling for heat was done.
    My last tank I ran at 70 and didn't have that much idling or dead head miles on it....................5.6. Now thats not too bad for a large car CAT 500 pulling an open car hauler!!!

    Just want to hear it run and they seem to not want me to. Maybe it was just a bad day for them. I'll find something else.

    Thats not bad milage for your setup there Brickman. Especially at 70 and an open rack.

    the 352 is nice. it is old though and I know nothing of thee DI Cat.actually the w-9 is too but the 352 has a coolness factor to it. then again I don't have to drive it!! lol:biggrin_25525:

    I always thought the DI was an industrial motor... like dozers and packers. I can't find anything on putting one in a truck. The W-9 is $4k more... but I bet it rides better.
