  1. Make sure if you fill the cylinders with oil or something leave the plugs,Injectors out. so it can rid the cylinders of liquid as you spin it over.
  2. How are you registering the truck? If you do it as a hobby truck and get nailed for commercial work. It is going to turn into a headache you will not soon forget
  3. I generally fill in the morning or before noon. Even if I run the rest of the day I will usually have 1/2 a tank left. I don't go home full as I park in a yard now a truckstop. Make sure I got enough to get fuel somewhere else or fill there when we leave. Thought about putting a regular cap on my hydraulic side of the fuel tank and let them in for a shock. It will burn but smoke like a sive.
  4. Very true. My boost gauge dies I think I would be lost. Also Pyro. had problems with it but nothing lately
  5. Fill the injector or plug holes with Marvel Mystery oil. Crank case to. Fill it till it can't take anymore and let it sit a day,week,month. Or till the waiting gets to you. Drain and try asap
  6. What kind of weight,Terrain are you running. Also gearing. That 370 might be working it's ass off. Also sounds like a road tractor converted to a dump as light spec'd as it is
  7. Only time I play the fuel weight game is if I am real heavy or so close to axle I need the weight. Miles vs gallons. x amount of weight before next scale and enough to get to the next truckstop. I have thought about taking the left tank off and just putting a 50 gallon hydraulic tank. Maybe the dog scares them Idk but I have been lucky
  8. I hate those tripods. They are a P.I.T.A. to load. hell the 4 tracks aren't much better. Hey Tim Question for you. I have only seen it a few times but why do they go backwards in soft material loading trucks? Instead of going forward.
  9. Oh Ann knows where the truck is parked and how to move it but polishing . she can well thats another story for another forum
  10. I never liked any of those products and do not like lucas. After shelling out the money I did the 1 gallon on the oil change. I did not notice anything big or at all. next oil change I put in 1 quart that made a huge difference. and every oil change since been getting 100 miles extra loaded per 1/4 tank over 1300 empty give or take100 miles and that is 65 min to 73mph. Added a quart to the trans gonna add another 1/2 to full quart . Also plan on a quart and a 1/2 to each rear. Added to the wheel hubs but not sure if it was that the 1 wheel seal went, Or since the 1 side went it's time was then. So far the lift axle has not started leaking. Figure why not make the bearings slicker. Motorkote for me is worth every penny and the fuel additive is great also. Oh yeah all the gains with 1 flaky injector.
  11. As Rowdy said. thievery. I never ever ever fuel when I am parking for the night. If I need fuel it is enough to Idle if I have to for the night. then top off in the morning. People watch and when you leave the fuel island and park they watch
  12. Fuel is a killer. Things you can do to help that cost. I have been running Motorkote. Not quite using it like the directions say and gaining 1/2 to 3/4 mile a gallon. Yesterday getting fuel I did 6.6 Mpg. Now for me that is the best I have ever gotten and that was cruising 68 mph. Also anybody seen my rolling brick knows that is damn good. Tires. Been swapping the trailer to low rolling resistence tires. I have had 4 on before and saw an increase in mileage. Not a big jump but noticeable. After trying different tires to no avail going back to the michilins. My theory is this. If I got to rotate the tires due to wear in different poitions. I might as well put the best rolling tire and longest wearing tire I have ever had on the trailer. Last remaining is almost 4 years old. Also taking my lug tires off and going highway. My offroad is very minimal. Also if the trailer sinks along with the truck not going to dig deeper or tear something up. Most places I go have machinery. Also if it is that bad they can drive it in from the road. the 2 times I have been stuck deep lugs would not of made any difference. What I do for tires and different things may not work for you. So far gained upwards of 1 full mile a gallon and also with the different terrain,weight,drag and everything any increase is positive. Going for 1 tank less per load. at 700 or better per tank 1 tank per load adds up real fast. Although I do not need this to make ends meat. 20+k at the end of the year is nice
  13. Forgot the most important part of a U. Need the counterweight or fat girl keeping it wheels down
  14. Welcome to the jungle. That was good. got a chuckle out of it.
  15. I think it is interesting and ought to be one hell of a ride. I can appreciate all the engineering in it. Hell I'd drive it.
  16. Was the motor turned up any?
  17. What are you asking for it? Do you have any friends with dbl drops can load it up for you and bring it back home
  18. we had a 950 just like the 920 in the above pic. It was a loading sob. The new machines just do not have the attitude the older machines had.
  19. That sucks!!!! Atleast you found the problem.I hope they have the parts.
  20. Welcome to the jungle
