Cleaned out the Radiator today.

Mobile Delvac cause was getting great rebates, but this last year the rebate not as much. 15w 40. I switch to 5 weight when temps drop below zero.

Curious on what brand oil and weight you run?

Well the 2010 is a lot louder running truck than 2013. And pulling all day adding the FASS did quite that truck down some. The lift pump does assist the primary pump. That 2010 truck is up to 870k on original fuel pump.

The 2013 had the fuel injection pump quit at 595k. But the truck pulls with so much more power uphills compared to the 2010 I never bothered putting a lift pump on.

Was wondering if you thought adding the LP to a Dmax significantly increased the life of the IP, but with 650k on your "new" truck I guess that answers that.
Why did you add it?
Curious as it "seems" like a valid addition to the trucks that the IP has to pull its own fuel.

It's in there, at 475k I installed the Fass 95 HD on that truck. And one issue I had with the FASS is plugging the small micro filter in temps below -20. Truck would stall no codes.

I haven't put one on the 2013.

Glanced through your maint post. At what point did you add a lift pump to the truck(s).

^Pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing.

It's a diesel, holds 2.5 gallons of oil. Bought this truck at about 500k for my dad. We are both pulling campers outta factories in Indiana. Owned a 2010 that I sold at 853,500 to the the transport company I work for. It's still pulling campers factory lot to company lot. I did a maintenance log on the 2010 online.

Oil changes are typically done over 10k. Oil sampling this 2013 runs cleaner than the 10 did. I went 20k on last oil change. Do have to add a quart at 15000. I'm gonna go to 25k on this oil and send sample out to lab.

This truck has had full emmisson replaced at around 500k. I changed both rear wheel seals. Fuel injection pump was replaced just before 600k.

Tires, I don't rotate by mileage. I rotated by wear. Most tires dad and I run are factory takeoff tires, bought cheap from people changing from OEM. Multiple sets of tires and wheels. Run worn tires till first sign of snow. Using the truck commercially legally can run tire
tread depth too 4/32nds in front and 2/32nds in rear. Law is written for a semi truck. I prefer to run more depth in rear. Best tires that I run for pulling are Bridgestone Duravis R500s. They have to be ordered. Those I can push near last close to 200k miles. Bridgestone still doesn't have these available for 18” wheels. Tried contacting Bridgestone online to see if 18” will ever be available got no response.

That's equal to averaging 300 miles every day for 6 continuous years.
Wow that truly is impressive from many angles. Even more so if accomplished by one driver? I would love to know more about the vehicles maintenance and repair history and how heavily load during those miles.

Yeah, that's alot of truck stop hot dogs and seat farts! LOL

More about the truck? Hot shot or hauler for sure, but how's the truck fairing? What's been rebuilt, what's still kicking from the factory?

646,000 miles = 130 oil changes and tire rotations assuming a 5000 mile maintenance interval.
