Hopefully I will be going to get mine in the next week or two. What are you averaging for speed on the highway?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Middle of SD now...You are in Minnesota now?
A photo of the territory now and then would be SO sweet.Middle of SD now...
50ish... Around 2000rpm...
Actually getting closer to 6 mpg than 5... Thanks to flat land..
Some hills in PA and WV I was going 25 mph up.... And couldn't go faster...
I predict some more of the same in MT...
You probably should research the D.O.T regulations before altering the air system , unless your truck will used off-road only .I gotta change all the fluids (again)
I'm going to replace both fuel and oil filters with spin on
I'm gonna replace the air lines with synthetic rubber and standardize the dimensions. Each line will be on a barbed connector with hose clamp so replacement will be easy if necessary.
I'm going to replumb the air system, making each tank with its own blowoff valve, and shutoff valve, so all the tanks are connected yet separate. I can isolate a tank or line in the event of a leak or failure. Each tank will have a check valve as well.. Incoming air cannot escape the way it came in. This way if there is a leak upstream, I still have all the air in the tanks, instead of watching my needle drop like a rock...
Lots of other stuff... But first things first..
I'm not much for rules and regulations.You probably should research the D.O.T regulations before altering the air system , unless your truck will used off-road only .
My concern is the lines blowing out... Rather.. One line blowing out twice...Oh, and I think if you just change out the check valves and update your air dryer. (And possibly the PPV) All your air problems should be good. It's not a bad system when it's maintained.
