I sure do like the way the people in the north east take pride in their ride with all the pin striping and artwork not loaded down with chrome, bold paint jobs that way you can see the trucks for what they really are........when I'm able to travel I sure want to go up north for some site seeing during show season as I don't see that much down here........bobby j.

Nice pictures of the u models Ron, they remind me of the single axle sidewinders we had at Overnite......bobby j.

For the money tires cost now and the service you get out of them radials is the only way to go..my two cents......bobby j

At the minimum you need a coolant approved for use in a Diesel engine. Although you have "dry sleeves", I would be hesitant about using a "standard" automotive (gasoline engine only) coolant. Just my 2 cents.

A friend recommended Peak Final Charge Extended Life Coolant (red).

50/50 mix of most coolants will protect to -34F (-36C).

Years ago at Overnite the pyrometers on our fmodels had three parts only....... The gauge on dash, the wiring harness and the probe that screwed into the turbo header pipe......the harness goes straight from gauge to probe there is two small machine screws and nuts to hook it together and if I remember correctly there is a heat shrink made onto the probe once you hook it up to keep elements out of connections......bobby j.

Thank you Barry: Brings back memories of Sears Roebuck catalog when I was a kid before Christmas.........bobby j.

Ron, Could you just replace that piece of air line with a piece of 1/2 dot plastic air line from spring brake to service valve or q/r valve which ever the case may be ........ Or have a piece of #six aeroquip line made up and just change your pipe ends to aeroquip .....

Rusty and crusty you can't keep a mack down

Check with heavy parts distributor there are some you can pull top head off and rebuild while on the truck and some that are not user serviceable
