Wow thats crazy, we have been holding steady here in the past few days,but they say it's gonna keep going up till early summer.

Higher fuel = higher rates,and don't think your customers wont pay higher rates,there is no way they can run a truck cheaper than an owner operator.

It's now at 4.27 to 4.30 on Long Island NY. This really is getting out of control!

Thats one sweet looking truck,what year did the diamond t become the reo, I had a 63 diamond t with a packer body on it,I have some pictures some where I'll post them on this thread when I dig them up.

A short piece of tube from a bike tire works great for that, just tie one end in a knot and use hose clamp for the tank end.

It's back again relisted,I don't know why he just doesen't just have a public auction I think he would make out a lot better,not only that it would be a lot of fun for us.

It figures exxon would be so high,there so into giveing us the screws,I would rather walk than buy gas or fuel from exxon..

OK thanks, I was thinking it had something to do with dusty work.

Sharp looking trucks,could someone explain the high air intakes is it just for looks or is there a reason for them being so high.

The getty around the corner from my yard who is always the cheapest was 399.9 yeasterday so I'm sure a lot of stations are well over four a gallon by now, I take a ride around and check out prices.Long Island,NY

I'm pretty sure the 285 was built with the heavy duty cam for use with with a jake brake.

Dam,I just paid 389.9 on Long Island NY,the owner of the gas station told me it will be over 4.00 by monday,soon I'll be looking at a dollar a mile to run my dump truck just for fuel.

Yes that was the same seller I was thinking about.Maybe Barry could help you out with that.

There is someone on e-bay selling them,in commercial truck parts he says he has what ever one you may need.

Thanks for replys,does mack make a rebuild kit for the dynatard brake,I might give that a try first.

Will a jake brake from a 237 fit and work on a 315 hp motor, the 315 has a dynatard on it now but it neaver worked worth a darn,I have a complete jake brake setup and would like to swap it out.

LOL, or just leave it running all night !

You should add an engine block heater for cold winter starts,a few hours with heater on and she will start like it's summer,also much better for the engine .

OK thats a start!

Test dm600

I'll try to get some pictures up for you this weekend most likley on sunday.

So whats up,did you get her running ?

You left out Bonel Contracting from patchogue,they had five or six dm 800 they were all painted the same green with a yellow and cream stripe on the big hood,all had B D bodies,24" rubber,the one I bought off him even had a crome air cleaner,those were the days 250hp quad box and grosin 84000 !

I don't know anything about a v-8 pump but does anyone know whats under those two caps on the end of the pump,maybe some kind of manual rack adjustment.
