I guess a compression test may be in order, or can you keep running because it's a minor issue,,, sorry bud,,, one of us needs to be there with you to see whats up... 👍 jojo

Damn... Now I wish I had a time machine... Jojo

How much smoke are you talking about? There can be a few reasons, does the over board breather puff heavily? if so, chances of worn piston rings is likely the cause. is the air compressor, blowing oil back into the air intake duct. I believe the intake hose attaches to the intake duct after the air cleaner.. Heck, weak valve seal can cause this.. See what I mean? Keep posting, there are a lot of smart guys here to help you... jojo

Sorry, I'm hijacking this thread,, I used to eat at a little place passed P&G just over a bridge I beleive, on the left, we would bobtail to it.. It was a cool place nestled in the woods, next to a rotten cabbage smelling plant... jojo

If I remember correctly, when i went to the pumpkin patch, just after this store, (on the left), i took a left, and it was down hill for a bit then a left into pumpkin patch, the pumpkin patch was just a big crappy dirt lot with an office trailer, and a handful of old green and yellow, Builders Transport trucks settin around.. P&G was just a bit further passed the 'patch'.. and I beleive there was a lot of open land back then, not many homes.. Diesel is still $5.49-$5.69 here.. jojo

Pump and Pantry sounds right.. It's been 24 years ago, so I'm a bit rusty, jojo

I would like to think the pressure relief valve will do its job.. just sayin.. jojo

That's great !! do you know what adjustments were made? Just in case someone needs the info... Jojo

Is your truck old enough to pour your next oil change in the tanks.. ?

when you pulled out of the yard there and went up the hill passed the Pumpkin Patch, (Schnieder) there was a store there top of the hill.... (Gosh) I hope I remember correctly... I would always get there tuna sandwhich, and drinks..... When I worked out of that terminal, I lived in Old Orchard Beach M.E. My longest commute to work.... EVER.... jojo

I do realize it, just blows my mind how "In -your- face" it really is.. They are so corrupt, that I wont even listen to their side of the issue's because I know it's rigged.. anyway.. Im off to do a road call.. Jojo

Well, ive been watching a live feed of our 'polls' tonight.. and local news is on the tube... guess what..... our 'Blue' neighboring county, (Mecklenburg),, Charlotte N.C. .. is reporting an issue with there voting machines..... and votes are not being recorded correctly... You don't say... I'm only reporting, When the truth comes out in 15 months, I will recap the story... .. well ... really, I will just learn about the issue at hand.. How's the poll's in youre area?? jojo

I know... I want to complain, but..... I see worse elsewhere... jojo

Diesel is still $5.49-$5.69, here today.. Gas, $4.39 ish......

so ... you stopped the oil leak? I assume you were able to use the truck to see if you fixed it? jojo

Im not sure I am following you, sorry. The mph sensor is the VSS.. The wires have the numbers printed on them, you can peel back the loom and read the code, it tells you which module it goes too, the plug in the module, and the wire terminal number.. Did you see that on the wire or just the schematic? also, are you checking the power at the sensor plug? ...... if you unplug the bulkhead connector and the speed sensor, did you ohm both wires individually, to see if there is resistance? there should be about, .02 ohms resistance on a good closed line.. it would be good to have a helper on this due to the distance of the wires. with the plugs unplugged, did you ohm the 2 wires together to see if they are shorted? if there is continuity, then you have an issue in that harness.. which would explain the voltage drop you stated. sorry I cant be more help on this, I really need to be there, I dont know how many different segments there on these wires.. jojo

just reach up and pull the plug on the inside of the valve cover.. torque is only around 20 lbft for the cover bolts

Wow!!!!.. MarkT.. thats cool.. Penn's Best was there too, on route 6 I beleive. I used to run to I-81 N a bunch and across I-88 .. I pulled Jacob's ladder West bound I-90, only around 20 x's . I woudnt' mind doing it again.. just because... jojo

and this is the point where I dont need to post thoughts, just ask questions..... jojo

I sent you a P.M. Maybe 3 times.. not sure, something wasnt right, I drove Pumpkin trucks out of Mehoopany, from '98-early 2000.. I ran that area a bunch, because I was sent to New England on 95% of my loads... I used to drive by my (home) exit in Maine, when I delivered to Skowhegan, and such.. I pulled a lot of P&G loads from the mill, in the 'Endless mountains' well a year and a half's worth...

I have said that soooo many times... my wife has no sense of humor, ... you are exactly right.. Hell I thought because I am 3rd generation Italian in the U.S., that I would get some freebie's.... I am "Latin" right?? jojo

Nice... Git'r'done.. jojo

Too kind Mark T... That would be a cool deal.. I would enjoy it.. I'm slowly trying to get engines sent to me for rebuilds. I had 3, got 1 done and gone, 2 left. One is almost done, just waiting on parts, the other is an E-6 2v, for a '60 B Model.. its resto project. I already did the tranny, jojo

My God !!! This is really bad... (stating the obvious) I know that if I didnt own all of my trucks, My house and all but my wife's Tri-Glide.. I would have already been wiped out... I am just afloat.. Hell I went to buy chlorine for my little 14' pool, and it was more than doubled in price. We can't even stay home and have an affordable good time... I say this as I watch the traffic in and out of 2 drug houses right across the street..( on my security camera's) They are the smart one's. no mercy, no responsibilities.. ok, back on topic.. God bless you for the ability to keep it going.. jojo

Christ almighty.. I think about all you guys that fill Big truck fuel tank's, everyday.. I can get away with squirting 5-10 gallons, due to my short range of operation, but It still adds up quickly. just last week, 3 days of my gross sales, paid for me to operate, the other 2 days paid me... I made just under $550.00.. for the week.. Oh well,, jojo
