Time to sell my freight locomotive and get something smaller! Here is a picture. PM for price and details!

Just as I was about to brag about my trouble free motor, a part fell off as I pulled in the driveway. Specifically the outer part of the AC clutch... it just fell to the ground! I gather that the culprit is a 2cent nut that held the part onto the splined shaft and has taken a vacation. I'm...

Just replaced the starter in the 98 24 valve. Runs and starts great for 3 days. Go and try to start it this morning and nothing, then the lights flicker and shut off. Could this be a relay?

Checked my oil at 12K just to see for myself. All is good. I will change it at 25K to 15W-40 for the summer months. Amazing what removing the DPF and EGR did to the oil life (and engine life also)!!

Merry Christmas fellow 6. 7 drivers. Nothing to report from SC. Truck runs great, no problems. Fingers crossed, hope I don't jinx my freight train locomotive! :):):)

Have a friend who's experiencing wear on the inside edge of the inner rear tires on his 2010 3500 4X4. He only uses it to tow his 34 foot horse trailer (gooseneck mount). Maybe he is over loading the axle? Don't know the trailer weight or ball weight yet. Will post when I find out. Any thoughts?

Here's the Turbo Diesel Lance Corporal Will Lauber ready to go to Afghanistan. He is now at a combat outpost in Helmand Province fixing MRAPs and Humvees. PM me for his mail address if you want to send him a letter or gift! Semper Fi!

Changed the fuel filter after almost 10K and observed something new. Apparently my dealer and others who have been changing the filter never really cleaned the bottom of the plastic canister which is not smooth but has several ribs which meet in the center. Anyhow, I changed the filter on a...

This is what I poured out of the transfer tank fuel filter when it began to show signs of clogging. I'd rather catch it in the water absorbing filter before it goes into the truck tank! I still have never seen water in the fuel filter drain... .

Guaranteed to give Harvey Barlow a fit! Mick Jagger live White House - February 21 2012 - Part 1 - YouTube

Drove to MD from SC today pulling the 9500 LB trailer. Got the full symphony of Cummins sounds. My favorite is hogging up a grade in 5th gear about 1900 RPM. The other lovely sound was descending Catochin Mtn near Thurmont Md in 4th gear using just the EB. Who needs a radio? WHat lovely...

Finally got some time to get the BMK21 installed on my truck. My friends at Performance 4X4 fabbed up the mount for me and put the hoses together. Talk about simple. Fits nicely and no wiggle or movement. I paid extra to have the nice billet cap for the return line.

Leave it to those crafty Germans to make a diesel engine lighter, quieter, more fuel efficient and ultimately green with... nano-tribilogy??? From the current Lubes n Greases magazine, page 33: "It’s all due to an innovative MB-patented technology called Nanoslide, in which “twin-wire arc...

I ran the new Amsoil OE synthetic oil to see how it would work in the 6. 7 now that the DPF and EGR are dormant. The attached lab report says its ok to keep on running after 6600 miles. COmpare the previous oil reports with DPF and EGR, what a horror show! AMSOIL - AMSOIL OE 15W-40 Synthetic...

Friend has a tow truck, its a 2007 Ford F-650 with the ISB 5. 9L rated at 265HP and Allison transmission. Its gobbling oil about a quart every 150 miles. No drips or wet spots on the motor. He said it smokes when pulling, but its black smoke. I'm thinking a turbo issue. Any ideas on...

Anyone can help me look up a Cummins serial number to see what the specs are on this engine: ISB-260 Serial Number 46635936 Its installed on a Ford F-650 towtruck. Need to figure out the oil sump capacity and I don't know if its a small pan, suspended pan or regular pan. Thanks if you...

The front brakes on my son's 98. 5 2500 keep hanging up after applying the brakes. The brake lines are brand new and the calipers are still fresh. Any ideas?
