  1. Hi Dean, this is photo shown on our local news. Is it in your local area? I hope govt services are working out for all you people. 🍀Best regards
  2. It is a custom B 75 model with the E6 2 valve 350 and it has a Hydrogen producing unit, that only works when the engine is running. No hydrogen is stored. It uses a mass of negative power. The Hydrogen mixes with the diesel through the air intake pipe, which boosts torque and HP up to 25% and improves fuel economy between 20-25% depending on operation. hills or flat roads. No issues with the turbo from the hydrogen. Also keeps the pistons and valves clean. The unit was developed by a local Aussie and he has about 300 units installed in Aust. My unit has 2 X 1.5 litres stainless steel bottles of distilled water, 3 litres will produce hydrogen for 3000 klms, then easy just refill. There was a guy in Florida some 12 years ago that had a similar system fitted to his Peterbilt. Somewhere, I have a video of him demonstrating it at a truck show down south. He fitted it on the left side of the frame below the front of the cab. I tried for about 1 year to find him, just vanished. Originally I had planned to fit an LPGas tank and feed that into the intake pipe, the same set up that Mack had around mid 70's to early 80's. The local Mack engineers told me that the LPG caused many engine failures, burn't pistons and valves because drivers were not watching the turbo gauge and backing off when it got too hot. Ian Lee fitted it to his Princess Diana, Diamond T with a 250 Cummins engine. Ian's Diana with a loaded trailer kept pace with Tony Champion's Mack Superliner V8 - 500 across the outback flats, even up the hills, but it got hot so he had to ease off the pedal to cool it. The other practical issue is the LPG needs a big pressure tank to store it and outside of the cities most service stations do not store LPG. Plus the danger of LPG and insurance, so I dropped the LPG idea. Then I found the hydrogen system. Regular highway use, the hydrogen system cost is paid in 3 months, then the 20%+ fuel saving and less oil changes, 1 for 3 usual changes.
  3. Hi Brocky, we have had minimal news in Australia of the disaster you have all copped. Tonight I saw a picture of what seems to be the outside of Dean's property in Ashville. I saw Concrete barrels rolled over, a Cat dozer, other machines and trailers piled on top of one another and . It is hard to find words for all of you good people, I hope that many people are safe, have food, place to rest and most critical that the govts (federal and state) mobilise all the help to the people that they deserve, moving fast, without any hesitation. My thoughts and prayers are with you good people, take care.
  4. Hi Brocky I have been watching the news, hopefully you are all safe, sad for all the people suffering. Take care and all the best to all the people.
  5. My B model has the E6 - 350 with the 2070 OD box, tyres are 11 22.5 and diffs are 4.17, it maxs out at 120 kph/75 mph.
  6. At 80 mph, what diff ratio would they be?
  7. I have been looking to find a bit more information about the actual build/specifications difference between the Maxidyne and Econodyne motors. There is various information about the 2 engine performances, such as the powerbands for torque, Maxidyne is more suited to say construction type applications versus the Econodyne being more suited for hiway application. The motors were painted different colours. Externally both motors appear alike, both the Maxidyne and Econodynes had the intercooler over the motor, etc. I understand that the Econodyne E6 - 4 valve motor cannot have the intercooler over the motor, but the E6 2 valve can have the intercooler over the motor. I would appreciate any info - thanks.
  8. Your Toyota is excellent. Please what motor is in it, 4 0r 6 cyl petrol or diesel?
  9. Your Toyota is now worth big $'s and seems to be in very good condition, congratulations for both units. 👌
  10. You have a horn!!!! After being out on the water 🤩
  11. The first and last V8 Valueliner.
  12. Apology readers, it continues to have the sleeper cab. Here it is at Mack Muster. I remember now, it was T-boned by a Pete on way to a show, repaired and repaint. Plain army green colour when new, yellow band was done later. The black plastic fitted on the fenders, called Spats, were designed to align the wheel to the fenders. The Spats were a factory option.
