I wouldn't have a truck without a turbo on it. Not a deuce anyway.

I saw that Photoshop pic and thought you were done building it...

Just pulled in the driveway. end odometer: 71012.5 Approximately 1/3 tank left in the truck tank and 40 gallons left in auxiliary. No problems with the truck on the road, but I will do an inspection tomorrow. She performed wonderfully. It was great to see you guys again, we'll have to do it...

I just made Slidell. Stopped at the T/A truckstop to check fuel and rest my butt and I was only down a half a tank. I am moving a lot faster and burning a lot less fuel without all that weight. Haven't had to downshift for a single hill yet on the way back. That's pretty good considering I'm...

I'm on my way home now. Just stopped for fuel and restroom break between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. I wanted a drink but all I have is $20 bills and I am not carrying around $18.75 in quarters.

Lad you guys made it home alright.

I didn't say they don't make parts. They no longer make the engines. Try buying just one new slug. You have to buy all six to get one. And they love to shatter liners for some reason around the bottom. I'm not saying it isn't a good motor, it just isn't as good of a motor as the 8.3.

If you want longevity and comfort you will want a hardtop. The front seam has a habit of ripping all the stitching out, and vinyl/ cloth will never last as long as steel. Installing a hardtop isn't hard, but is easier with two people. Hardtops also keep the in cab noise level down and keep you...

The easiest to find driveline and engine parts for is the A2 models. The 250 cummins is a very old and no longer produced design. They were produced from the 60's till~...

Yes that is a good way to destroy a battery over time.

It is isn't it? I love my old truck. I work it hard and take care of it and it takes care of me.

I'm always careful! Just made my destination. odometer: 70,230.4 Apparently the route was a little more scenic than I thought it would be. I don't think I'll get home on the fuel I have left. Stupid mountains and their fuel sucking... All cargo intact and accounted for. According to my handy...

Just made my final fuel stop before destination. The 100 gallon aux tank is now empty but the truck tank is full. About 20 miles south of Gadsden now.

Thanks G but not necessary. I try to always keep spares of most things around. Anyway, I'm at fuel and butt rest stop #2 at a rest stop just south of Montgomery on 65. Heading up to Birmingham to link up with 59, run that into Chattanooga and take 75 south a few miles to Ringold. I'm sure there...

Just made my first stop in Diamondhead MS at Waffle House to check cargo on the trailer, eat, and fuel. One of the brand new 5000 lb ratchet straps I bought yesterday now broke and I almost lost one of the engines. Hurray for cheap Chinese made ratchet straps that cost a fortune. Good thing I...

Start odometer reading: 69,399.2 cargo: 2 pallets 120mm ammo cans 2 pallets mortar cans 2 6.5 liter diesel engines 9 medium towbars with feet and pins 2 heavy medium towbars, 1 pair feet 3 280,000 btu jet heaters 1 SUSS water heater 235 gallons of fuel all my tools and stuff I normally carry.

I'm just about to leave. Once again, spent all day working to get ready. I'll drive all night and hopefully be there tomorrow afternoon sometime. I'm already beat.

4-5 feet is more than enough.
