    Before I retired, we were starting to field test some prototype PC-11 oils. Some of those numbers mentioned were fuel economy tests done for us. The big question will be, can lighter oils be used in older engines? The last thing a fleet wants is to handle 2 oils and make sure the right oil gets in the right engine. One engine OE is having issues with oil aeration. They pushed for an aeration test as part of PC-11 certification. Last time I remember, it costs about $1million to run the 11 certification tests (and that is without any fails/repeats).

    Could be gold but definitely striped. Also the Fs have dual air stacks.

    It appears all the trucks have whitewall tires. Anyone else notice?

    Looks great! Do you have an audible air leak? If not, perhaps the compressor governor needed replaced.

    I am staying at the Rodeway Inn; Akron, PA. It is an "old time" motel (park in front of the door) but is clean. I stayed there 3 or 4 times and never had an issue. The hotel is about 7 miles to Gerhart's. Senior rate is $63 (regular rate $70). Not much for breakfast but I usually eat at the Lititz Family Cupboard (on the way to and about 2 miles from Gerhart's). There is an Italian restaurant within walking distance from the Rodeway and has GREAT pizza. Oregon Farms (another stuffit buffit) is about 5 miles south of the hotel. http://www.rodewayinn.com/hotel-akron-pennsylvania-PA534?listpos=1

    Nice grabs! Was this a home estate or business? Just curious.

    Not that I question Mark (Vision386) but it did not look like the old Engineering Center. Unless they did some MAJOR reconstruction. Does anyone know if the Branch building is still standing? I like to see these old structures still in existance.

    On my MH, the brake lights are ON when it is parked. They go off when the brakes are released.

    I like the truck but not the price. Anyone need a bed and lift mechanism?
