very nice! wish my trucks looked that good!! Doug

John, I moved the luberfiner on my KW out of the battery box to the side of the cab, then I mounted a fuel filter,heater, water seperator where the old luberfiner was worked out real good, Doug

Trent, dont forget to bleed the air out of the luberfiner when you prime it! just back off the top plug a few threads and wiggle it around to let the air out as the engine is running. just dont back the threads out too much, as cause when the air is all gone the oil will pressure up real fast and blow the plug too parts unknown LOL, I did that on a KW one time when I worked in the truck shop at CTI, made a pretty good mess, tried to hold my finger on the hole, but couldnt reach the shut off switch, had to let go sprayed oil every where!! Doug

Hey John, looks like the hose holder went on a diet before and after photos, must be the heat, sweats the pounds away Doug

VERY NICE!!! Doug

I like the new site lots better than the old, but I understand that for some change is difficult Doug

if there is a trailer supply place close utility etc. they should have what you need at a pretty good price. I buy lots of stuff from Utility, air, elec, and load securement they are usually well stocked with just about anything you need and cost less than the truck dealers Doug

I am really lucky, I live just outside city limits, close to town but still county zoning, I have an acre of land and park all my stuff right in my back yard! even when I was hauling fuel I would pull in the circle drive and park then only 15 - 20 feet to back door of the house, have a nice big work area where I can get winch truck, fork lift etc. around to move heavy stuff. only one neighbor with in a couple 100 yards, and they dont mind at all. hope things stay as they are but some day I might have to deal with city limits expanding then I will have to deal with zoning they are pretty relaxed around here, friend of mine parks his tanker at his house, and he lives in a residental area, go figure Doug

ever been to Kamloops? I Have, DONT GO IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY!!! froze my %&* off! -40 during the day, air was so cold it hurt my lungs just breathing it . beautiful country, wouldnt mind going up there again, but would rather go in summer. loaded lumber there got my metric conversion wrong, had fun at the border had to re arange the load to get axels legal, thank goodness I burned enough fuel to get me just under gross, had to dodge scales all the way to LA, real fun trip! Doug

hey Jim, you should be able to find it by going to the links, Doug

Hey Barry, its been tried before with nothing good comming out of it. the main problem is that there are too many drivers out there that cant afford to shut down. they might be paying more for fuel, and making less money, but as long as the big companys keep rolling, most owner operators will also just to keep up. it really sounds like a good idea, but as long as there is freight to haul some one will haul it dirt cheap just to make what little money they can, they figure a little is better than none. luckily for me the company I am leased to has a good fuel surcharge program to where I average $1.35 to $1.50 per gallon. with out that I wouldnt be able to afford to stay running. Doug

back in mid 80's I drove a superliner while my truck was in the shop, it had a "dynatard" I was used to the jakes on my big cummins motor and the first time I hit the switch on the dynatard I thought I might as well turn around and point my ass out the window and fart against the wind, thats about how good they worked! Doug

welcome, Mark! we have a pretty good bunch here, I think you will enjoy this site, Doug

Boy howdy! all this talk about the E9, I thought it must be the biggest baddest motor ever made!......... till you posted the specs, heck my little DDEC IV makes that much horse power & torque , I have allready up graded to the bigger turbo, now just need to scrape up the $$$ for Bruce's little black box! ( Pittsburg Power )

if they put the 625 in the new rawhide,now that would be sweet I woouldnt mind having one of those!! Doug

Hey rig chaser, is that an Ingersol Rand top head drive in your avitar? just wondering, I spent quite a few years drilling on all kinds of different rigs, CP, Gardner Denver, IR, Air, Mud rotary, core drilling, you name it we did it!! too out of shape for that type work these daysLOL, hard enough just driving truck! Doug

Hey Barry, I have a 3.8 in my wife's mustang. I didnt really know much about them before, but now I know about all the "goodies" you can get for these such as the under hood blower kit that comes with every thing you need to put over 300 rwhp to the ground, and only sets you back about $2,000. now talk about a sleeper!!! 300 horse V6 wagon!! Doug

Hey Andy! you got it backwards LOL, there were 1,463 B-62 SX's built between 1954-1958 of which mine is # 451, as for the B-833 SX there were 216 built between the years 1956-1966, all together between the X SX RSX , & ST models, mine was the 30th one built. it is in extreamly rough shape, but most all the parts are there, so I think it is wort trying to save & restore! just wish I had lots of $$$ to do it right!!, Doug
