Unless you run a lower grade winter oil I think it's a lot to ask of a motor with 15W-40 in it if it's not plugged in.

And the Metro area was the "warm" spot last night! At 10:00 last night it was already -31 in International Falls! And I was going to haul scrap with my deuce tomorrow...perhaps not.

So your saying it comes from the block up through the filter then back down through the center bolt with the holes?

I found the oil flow chart in the TM but it still doesn't answer a question I have: When the oil flows through the oil filters does it go up through the center bolt then into the filters or is it the other way around?

The u-joint style are better all around, better material and stronger joints.

If you upgrade from the old ball style to the newer u-joint style it will NOT just slide in as a replacement. The seal retainer that presses into the end of the axle tube is different. If you try to put a u-joint shaft in where an old ball style was it will not go in far enough, you have to...

Be sure to include what box you used (shortened stock or 105) and what wheel/tire combo you have.

On a side note, you misspelled "teacher" in your about me section...must be a math teacherrofl I still have to pick up a truck down the road from you guys, maybe I should plan a two-for-one trip!

I agree that a lot of it must be due to the cold oil. I picked up a deuce yesterday and it was about 10 degrees, it still had the stock filters on it but when I started it it began leaking oil out of one of the canisters. I tightened it down a little and it seemed to fix the problem.

They must have woke up at Battle Creek, I got two different sales approved today!

Do you need just one or all of them? I've got a few for sure but not sure if I have a full set.

Ahh...Thanks

I just might take you up on that! What's BII?

Ya it seems to be in nice shape, I previewed it the week before, still has the goodies! They said they have to try selling it to other municipalities for at least 1 1/2 years before it goes to public auction. That's another reason I'd rather have it trailered home.

Yep

I need to see if anyone can haul an M816 wrecker from just north of Madison, WI to Blaine, MN. It's 280 miles door to door. I was going to drive it but I can't do it until next week and some of the highs next week are only in the single digits for temperature. I'd like to check it out good...

I checked with my local semi tire shop and they wanted $15 ea to break the bead, I wanted to do a few so I went and spent $90 and bought a duck-billed hammer and it works the best, better than my slide hammer that just about threw out my elbow! I like the heavy equipment idea though!

Nice truck! Maybe I'll see you out driving around some time!

I can't tell from that drawing, does oil go up through the center of the filter and back down the outside or is it the other way around?

I've heard a lot of different things on this topic, here in MN if the sign says "all trucks over 10,000 lbs must stop" then I stop. It doesn't say if you are making money or not you must stop. And the weight they put on the sign is what your truck is rated for not how much it weighs empty so a...
