Commonly heard refrain from those seeing abstract art. My response? Encourage the kid to go for it, sign on as their agent, then see if anyone will buy it to fund your retirement.

I drove a RV converted bus on a camping trip once, it was an 80’s or so with I want to say an 8.2L Detroit Diesel. Non-turbo and slow as molasses in January. It got just a tickle over 6 mpg with my foot to the floor everywhere we went. I imagine this’ll get 8+ on the road? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately there is an EGR and MONSTER DPF. I’ll have to check into industrial engines and delete options, if there ever becomes an issue of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,598 #87 Posted July 22, 2021 1 hour ago, pullstart said: DPF. Just be sure you can get a sticker after that... Last I heard there were NO vehicles allowed to delete the DEF system. Here in Maine we are told that's a federal thing and we have to follow it. But that said, lots and lots and lots of older trucks have their cats accidentally fall off and not get replaced... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
