About 4 years ago I almost bought an R-190 with a 450 engine on propane for a shop truck to move trailers around, thing ran like a good watch but traveling 30 miles just to fill those 2 huge tanks wasn't worth it for me. Plus I figured converting back to gas would jinx it bad.
Little quality time ahead with some Mothers!
No... a little quality time with Jose when he's out acid blasting some customer trucks. He can make them nice and white.
The previous owner ran I90 all the time in the winter and the salt and deicer took its toll. He also apparently never changed oil. I've been doing 2500 mile changes since I got it and now the oil consumption has gone to near zero, and the gas mileage is hitting 15+. I'm kinda happy with the old beast.
I have had this harmonic resonation at 50 miles per hour on a new surface for about 3 months... thought it was a left rear wheel bearing checking out. Turns out that all four wheels are bent slightly both around the radius and from bead to bead. If you put a straight edge next to it and spin it you can see it slightly. 30 months and 6 tires lost to the pothole obstacle course are showing in the wheels. 2200 for freshies... I was told there is someone in Mass that makes a cottage industry out of truing light weight go faster wheels for around 600. Guess we will find out. The wooba, wooba, wooba harmonic racket is the tires that are now cupping on the inside due to the wheel issues. So I reckon I will be call Bibb the Michlein Man for 4 more. As hickok 45 say's on You Tube "Life is good!"
Could be about the same thing.
We have a few trees. Gives the damn squirrels a place to hide out. Story is the squirrels were imported to here from Walla Walla. Seriously.
