Post your hauling pics here! 11,400 lbs

What brand are they?

I can see that! Thanks for the warning I might not have thought of it.

I tried Optima once, didn't last good for me. Limited accessibility here too. Went with NAPA batteries next zero issue's.

has a new pump on it

Lol!

I saw a 94 6.5TD truck for sale that is giving these 2 codes.... 18 - pump cam reference pulse error 35- injection pulse width error time short Has a new IP so what might these codes mean? Sign of major issue or no?

I'm even thinking of buying another 6.5 truck for a spare!

Here is a pic of my truck, someone asked

That will fix it I bet.

Kind of stories I like!

Can't do an accurate test without one. HF sells a cheap one that will get you by. Voltage check only will show a battery good when it's not.

I assume you are "load" testing the batteries?

A IP pump probly a given by about 250 at least, but I'm thinking still a cheaper ride than a newer diesel of any other type of truck.

I'm at 249,000 now with the factory engine. Engine has never been in to. Runs smooth, doesn't smoke, uses about 1/2 qrt per 3500 mls. So why could you not go twice that far on a better engine? Just normal use no abuse good maintenance. Really doesn't seem unreasonable.

It bugs me to drive something I don't understand. These newer vehicles are such a mass of wires and electronics with engine bays so packed full of crap you can't even get your hand in there if you wanted. Now you have to pull the cab off some just to do some simple maintenance? When I was in...

Yeah "peace of mind" does play a part. I do believe it could really pay off in the long haul. If you think about it, is there any reason if after the normal upgrades and a new P400 engine you couldn't get 500,000 mls of driving with no major repairs? I'd be willing to bet the per mile cost at...

Amen to that!

Glad to see some who look at it like I do.

The more you look at it, if your willing to do some expected repairs, driving a 20+ truck can be a smart thing. Maybe thats the best way to look at it, not what it's worth in as what it will bring, but in how much your saving by not buying a newer truck when the old can do the same job.
