Again, thanks for your time.
Only one I had was on a 800 cu in, 400 hp Big Cam Cummins (11 gallons of engine oil for a change as I recall....bought 15-40 Rot T by the 55 gallon drum), in an International cab over rock bucket I played around with for a couple of years after I retired from industry......second or third childhood. Played with dump trucks in the sand piles when a tot....couldn't get it out of my system. Grin. Got a squeal in the engine one day, a million mile truck with one major, don't know if the turbo was replaced or not but I thought it was the problem since nothing in the engine was going fast enough to produce a squeal like that.
After $700 for the turbo and all day lost waiting for it at the truck stop, the problem turned out to be a small hole in the interface plumbing to the engine. I'm thinking I had a 300 rpm power band around 1200-1500 rpm. Had a 15 speed hi-lo. Going into it I thought I was going to have to clutch for all those gears every time I stopped (in town). Not so. Soon as she got rolling no more clutch......just set the shifter in the correct position for the gear desired, a little up lift on the stick with a couple of fingers, let off the rpms till the gears were in sync and click, shifting done. Smooth as silk.
Back then Diesel was running a buck a gallon and I used 100 per day. One day diesel went up 10 cents a gallon and I took it real hard. Felt that the oil company just stuck their hand in my pocket and helped themselves to 10 dollars of mine........I'd probably had a heart attack had I still been trucking when fuel peaked awhile back.
