    Need to see if the inner bell housing is wet all over or just running out from the transmission side It might not be much or could be something more serious Paul

    Does Kenworth still make normal COE truck for the US market ? If so, I wonder why they never used the cab Australia still have a K200 I think it is https://www.kenworth.com.au/trucks/k200/ Paul

    It's not on that chart because the chart is dated 2016 And also thats a world chart not a chart for any particular country Paul

    I did read somewhere that they did replace the jet with a normal diesel later in its life Paul

    Swishman I think it was just a concept truck Gas turbines were good at highway speeds but sucked heaps of fuel when travelling in town The B 47 and B 52 bombers sucked bucket loads of fuel at low level but could be leaned right out once they had a high altitude Im guessing that was with the old early style jet engines, I'm pretty sure the jet engines got a lot more economical in a few years time Im surprised that this technology never made into the auto industry Paul

    I also understand that Parkour (a elite sport and way of moving in big cities) was derived from super truckers thongs blowing out and their quick recovery Paul

    I believe hip hop dancing may have got some lessons from super truckers Paul

    Love my thongs, the thong look is especially cool when that piece that hooks between my toes blows out and I come to a crashing heap on the ground as I fall as gracefully as a hippopotamus on heat off the fuel taken So thinking about thongs they would be in the more advanced kit, not the starter kit Paul

    Gotta agree Alex, I feel its just good manners to be as quiet as I can be, after all some blokes will be trying their best to grab some shut eye Paul

    I most likely am wrong So please ignore if you reckon Im completely of track Put the grease plate back on the truck Drop a hook or some such thing in the jaws if they are closed Hook off a chain block Im thinking, and hook the other end to the chassis Pull the handle to release the jaws and and pull the chain block back to open them Then just start using as you normally would Im guessing a tiny dag or burr the poofteenth type size is causing the drama and after a use or two I think it will be fine Paul

    I remember some blokes I worked with back in the 80's did a trip to the States and bought from the way it was described a "Grizwallds" type of wagon Must of been three on the tree as they reckon when they went to do a racing changing they would grab the door handle Dunno exactly how this happened but made for a good yarn Paul

    They sold them well into the late 70's in Australia They were never that popular, I saw one in a yard within the last few months A mob in Tasmania that ran Scanias exclusively and had them as well and on Faceless book I see they have aquired one and it is now getting fully restored in their work shop https://youtu.be/YPwtJ89jes4 Paul

    I dunno if I agree with a lot of whats been said I dont like anyone telling me what to do with my toys and I dont tell anyone else what to do If they wanna sell or just keep them as they rust away thats their business and I respect them for that As to the truck were talking about, good luck with it as it looks like a lotta work Paul

    I do recall this and have tried searching for information about the moto6and his conversion Not a lot to be found on the interweb Some sites claim it never ran and he was a con man, others claim he was 100% legit and fuel companies are behind it We will never know Paul

    Apparently we have had ultra low sulphur diesel in Australia since 2009, I had no idea what you blokes are even talking about so had to do some googling Long and the short of it is that I have never had a drama and dont know of anyone having dramas I have never added anything but just straight diesel to the tanks and have never had a issue A bit like ethanol ULP, thats all I use and I add nothing and dont have any dramas even in small petrol engines So either Im the luckiest man alive or other people get caught up in the B.S. Paul
