Longest you've run you truck with out shutting down?

[steved]

Hope I'm not getting off the subject by asking this? "But here goes", With our CTD's can we stop and filler-up with fuel,leaving it running and not cause it to throw some sort of "Code" by taking the fuel cap off with the engine running??

The CTDs do not have the emissions equipment that a gasser has... the emissions equipment is what causes the code to pop when the gas cap is left off...



So to answer your question, no they will not throw a code if you fuel while the truck is running.

I drove for 3 straight days, on 2 different occasions... but I did shut the truck off for bathroom breaks.

The first time my brother in law bought a '68 Olds 442. We drove from Syracuse, NY to Kenosha, Wisconsin and back to get it, non-stop.

The second time I moved my buddy from Poughkeepsie, NY to Atlanta, Georgia. . but I had to drive 500 extra miles to get to his house and back.

I'm too old for that crap now. I'm good for 48 hours, and then I need to sleep.

We just finished driving from asheville, nc to hanover, nh at 1am this morning and managed only 2 stops. I always shut down when I stop so it doesn't really count as straight through. The longest I have ever gone was 26 hours and I hope never to have to go more than 18 again.

This isn't in a truck but I have run a marine B series at 70% load for 4 days straight before having to fuel up. If you want to see engines that never get shut down, take a look at the ones in boats that go offshore.

Longest we left the truck running was I think about 72 hours (starter solenoid went south on a trip), I left mine running for 48 hrs just last month, had to sleep in it through a snow storm in Wyoming. Longest straight run (flat butt run) was about 30 hrs, from our place out to northern Cal, then run around dropping off horses before catching a plane home. Have a 75gal transfer tank, so only fuel every 1000miles or so.

Or a drilling rig... I've seen rigs practically run 16 hour days at WOT... we used a ArdCo mud buggy in LA, if you want to see about, it doesn't get any worse than that... that was a Cummins "B" series.

Like, maybe, three/four hours tops, non stop.



That in its'self is pretty darn amazing as I drive 'bout three thousand miles a year in either truck.
