Good to see the Louisville working. I drove our 94L8000 with 8.3 Cummins fuel truck all this week due to the newer stuff being broke down as usual. The old Ford ran better than a new truck. No electronics, no def, Manuel transmission. My favorite way to work.
@@MichiganDiesel exactly right. The only thing electronic on it is the meter simply because the mechanical ones made now are garbage. L.C. (Liquid Controls) is a excellent and very simple to use meter system that works great and is reliable.
I'm giving you a hard time by saying this, but come on man.... you didn't empty an entire tube of grease onto the fifth wheel?!? What's wrong with you? 😂😂😂 I swear the shop uses an entire tube when they pm our trucks. They are liberally coated and at least 2/3rds of it scrapes off in the first 4 trips. Keep up the great work!
I used to notice at a company I once worked in that the apprentice mechanics in our workshop would literally cover the 5th wheel in grease. If I wanted to ice a cake, I'd ask them.
@@MichiganDiesel Thank you for your response. That's a good engine, easy to turn up the power (fuel) and RPM . I put a lot of miles on a big cam 290. Was able to get 5.5 MPG easy.
The 290 Cummins was a good engine in it's time. I like the super singles on the front. A truckie told me those bigger wheels are harder on the king pins but I don't reckon. Depends who the driver is.
@@andrewking4885 I don't know about the bigger tires being harder on the king pins. The wider tires can handle heavier weights, so that could be harder on the king pins.
