      @@snappytom2447 I think he's referring to general quality of life. It's like a "first world problem" although what people neglect to realize is that everyone has their own struggles that affect them differently and it shouldn't be a bragging right how shitty your life is. Obviously there are starving children in Africa and it makes me want to cry when I think about it but that doesn't make what is going on in my life any easier or any less bad because I compare it to starvation.

    Hi. Impressive mileage.
    An old school trucker's trick in Europe to facilitate winter starting and avoiding diesel to freeze in the fuel lines, is to add a little gasoline to your diesel when you fill up. A 2% mixture is more than sufficient, meaning ½gal. gas plus a full tank of diesel. Furthermore, that little gas burns with flame when diesel detonates so it actually helps the engine to warm up.

    Used to drive one of these trucks for an electrical company. I delivered material to jobsites with it, including 4"+ rigid pipe. Sometimes over 200 ft. of it which is a decent load. This truck hauled it no problem. I loved it. The cold start was a bitch though. I was always the last one to leave the warehouse in the winter because the truck took a while to start.

      Yup same engine almost! Thanks, the cab is rusty so I've been looking for a donor cab to swap. I've put another hard 5K miles of towing and hauling since this video. Doing great. Finally replaced the tappet cover gasket so it's not dumping oil everywhere I go.

    • @andrzejconner676
      @andrzejconner676 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      chandler1289 that's incredibly high for even a brand new Cummins engine. Though Cummins doesnt publish compression numbers as they use blow by testing instead, I've never seen a healthy Cummins read over 450psi on a cylinder. They can all be at 300psi and as long as the difference between any two cylinders is 5% or less then your engine is healthy in that sense.

    Awesome to see that many miles. My 1999 24V has a bit over 218,000. What weight oil do you run? Ive been running 15W-40 and thought about switching out 5W-40 this winter but I am still like 3,000 miles shy of being due for an oil change. She still builds oil pressure quick with the 15W-40.

    • @yerwrng
      @yerwrng 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The owners manual calls for 5w40 for temps below +32 F 15w 40 +32 and up . Heavier weight oil voids engine warranty which means nothing on an old vehicle but it also takes more to turn over due the how heavy that oil gets in the cold . I use 5w40 Rotella t6 and recently due to the lack of availability of most heavy duty diesel oil I switched to AMSOIL . I park my 2009 6.7 outside all year long it has seen many days at below 32 and every night below zero and it will start right away it will miss a little the first few seconds but that's it but that at 9000k feet below zero no block heater . A good battery and a little fuel additive and the right kind of oil and these trucks shouldn't have any issue starting in temps like +23 here ...lol....that's not even cold .
