It really needs to be retired in favor of a newer, better powered truck.
It's gotta be 275 or 300hp with an 8LL behind it
Which one.
Older trucks had no power behind em. It's good in the low gears but man does it top out quick. Leaks enough oil that we only have to change the filter every once in a while and top her off. We might fix it if it was even possible to see where it was leaking from. Everything under the hood has a layer of dust and oil and grease mixed together to form a protective coating.

My last truck had a 3306 300hp and made more loads a day and more tons per load than the 400 and 500 hp trucks
It was geared for 80 mph and would do that easily at 90k lbs

the truck i came out of was 5 years old with 364k miles on it, and i put all but around 10 k miles on it. it sat for around 5 months last year, and 6 months this year.
the one before that got 235k in 3 years, and the one before that one got 255k in 3 years.
i averaged 400-600 miles per day with the other company when i was driving.
