Learning curve on the Detroit Diesel?

[lewpopp]

A milestone was reached at PSL when Roger was generous to check nearly all of the coaches. We came up with the criteria that when it was measured you either had BTJ or WTJ. All of ours measured BTJ.

BTJ = Better Than Jons

WTJ = Worse Than Jons

Any DD shop or good local truck parts place should have this stuff.

Fleet-guard additive

This stuff is suppose to treat 4 gal. of coolant (2 gal antifreeze + 2 gal. water) but it really only treats half that. So for a complete flush you would need 10 or 12 pints to get the charge up to level. Then test when changing oil and keep the charge there with recharged water filter changes as necessary.

I recently asked a DD mechanic on site in a service truck about the DD antifreeze with the additive already in it an was surprised when he told me he preferred adding additive in the way I have been doing with this product.

Picking up the coach next Saturday. Would love to me up with ya and have you take a look- I am certain I could use someone with hands-on experience.

Where do you have to go to get it? Is it a family affair or are you going alone? Are you driving there or flying?

[Tully]

Joe:

I am going to drive up next Saturday. Leaving around 6:30 A.M.

No the family is not going to go. Would you like to come up with me?
I could sure use the help. No pressure though, if you cannot I understand
100%.

The owner was going to spend and hour or two and go over the coach.

They are staying in Morango? About 70 miles North of New Lenox with over 50 miles being toll way.

Let me know. I could take care of your gas out to my house and would be nice to meet you.

I know you have an excellent memory, but take a video recorder along and use it.

[Tully]

Video recorder for sure... Great idea.
