So what did you do with your truck today?

[89Laredo]

You got air while you were replacing it or disturbed something else.
Run it down the highway and report back.

Earning its keep in the GWN.

The antique with the Red Neck 6.9 rebuild pulled a dual axle trailer full of clothes to Prince George. -17C, icy roads, blowing snow.

4WD all the way. The first part of the journey it got 4.4 km/l that's about 10.4 US mpg. Not bad I guess. I think the timing may have been a little retarded, as I had it running awesome with a mix of 50% Bio/50% #2 Diesel. I told my son to put some cetane booster in the tank and see if that made a difference. Haven't gotten the details if it helped or not as I didn't drive it, my son did.

Anyway, it made it without any problems. WooHoo!

Everytime I read this forum,I have to run out and check something.Today was the throttle cable(from todays post's) and sure enough..I might be getting 60-70% of the throttle with it on the mat(which it was a few times last week towing neighbors car home) Seems like next is a complete flush and coolant and of course the additives so I dont have to worry about cavitation.Now to get that criuse working....

Drove it and enjoyed it.

got to pull my buddies powerstroke to my place today, he had a fuel leak at the water drain, had to replace the o rings and he has no tools and isnt a mechanic at all so i did it for him and he filled up my tank for me, wanted to be on the safe side and not drive it, here is a pic when we got the chain on the trucks, had to mess with him about it though, he always gives me grief for not having a turbo

Woah wait a minute. Gallon of oil???

 

[89Laredo]

Yes. Lol
Looks like oil filter is dripping. It burns a shitload too though.

 

[jrad235]

Mine used about a gallon every 1100 Miles on my trip to Vegas, but I was at 12000 Lbs at altitude, so she was working.

Lol. Mine won't use any, then it'll use a quart, then it'll be done til next oil change. Crankcase never gets below 5qts. I always full with six. It never smokes either.
