Yeah, one time about 15 years ago my wife filled a Kerosene jug with gasoline.
I didnt even let that sit in the garage for more than an hour or so..I poured it into a gas can immediately just because I know what would happen if someone accidentally poured Gas into a kerosene heater.

Egr on a diesel sounds like an awful idea.
Would you like some soot to go with your air?

Sorry, didn't know it would be actual size. New throttle body, 68 mm and new oversized Roush CIA. Can't wait to hear it. Hope to be ready by the 26th.

I've thought about buying a delete kit, but warranty, etc.

A person should always use the proper container. But yes, I've filled a washer fluid jug with gas before. Just glad he caught it and fessed up. So no harm done and an honest mistake I guess.

The company recently ordered 250 new Peterbilts (Personally I hate a Pete but...) and they had them built for the company. Except some rocket surgeon decided to put the DEF tanks on the Passenger side.
All the truck stops have the DEF pump on the drivers side so you either buy the DEF in boxes (bulk) or you have to go into a truck stop the wrong direction.

I swear, I'm not saying everyone should run a big cam three that blows black smoke for twenty minutes on startup, but where is the middle ground?

Personally I've always favored Kenworth with Pete in a close second. But all we run now is cheap Freightliners because the get abused out here.

If I were to ever purchase a truck it would be KW W900 or a new Coronado glider truck.
But I used to have a Classic XL with a Detroit 60 and it was the most dependable truck I have ever driven 1.5 million miles and doing great. New trucks are just not designed to last that long.
It seems that all the new trucks are disposable. Put 300K on them and get rid of them.

See that dormer off to the left? The sealant failed right where it joins the main roof and it was pouring water right into that seam. I didn't notice until I moved the couch and saw the wall was falling apart below the window that is below that dormer.

That's awesome Morgan. Nothing like more horsepower.

Sounds like a fun job Larry.
