Nice truck... Personally i would be worried about the 144K+ on the original tranny pulling a 5th wheel... I would start with a tranny kit and then go from there! Congrats

Mine went to almost 200K before I bought it doing nothing but hauling RV's commercially. Just shy of 290K now and doing well though I am planning on a new tranny in the near future, especially if I do more sled pulling.

I know a couple of people who use it and dont have any problems but I have heard alot more horror stories then I have positive ones. Alot of us on here use the 6637 for our air filter and get them from FleetFilter.com, you can also get it from Napa. If you look at fleet filter, search for 46637, you can get it there for around $30. The 6637 doesn't need to be cleaned and is good for about 15K miles.

For oil, I just switched to Rotella Syn from wally world this past weekend. I was using dino Rotella before the switch. You will get alot of different answers to the oil question.

PMS is a good thing on here. PMS (powerstoke mod syndrome) will eat alot of your money, I know it has mine. I remember seeing a link for common abbreviations, I will see if I can find it for you.

Sorry if I really didnt answer any of your question, I am sure others will chime in quickly and give you all the info need. If you have any question don't be afraid to ask them, this is a very nice and helpful bunch of guys!!!

Oh my god, are you guys seeing this?

Our Lil Bit is blossoming into a full blown mechanic! Cris, anyone who has seen that truck of yours wouldn't second guess any advice coming from you.

Also what (I'm sure a very controversial question) type of oil is everyone running ? I'm sure this is a bad question but I want the best.

Oh and being kind of new to the diesel scene someone will have to explain all the abbreviations that are used, like the PMS that Liftedgrocerygetter used, very nice truck by the way. Actually all the profiles that I checked and had pics were SMOKIN'!!

And it is the longest week and a half... EVER
thanks again
Rooster, oil actually ins't a real controversial topic here. In the diesel market, there really are only a few good brands. We all stick to them pretty religiously and no one seems to get up in arms about one being better than the other. I run Rotella as well. I switched to Syn this spring and very happy with performance. Now if you want controversy, start a turbo thread. hehe.

Very clean looking truck you got yourself there.
