","text":"I’m a younger driver but the old man taught me the old ways. And that’s how we did it shoot I learned how to shift and drive off road in a 1985 Mack dump truck. Thanks for the reminder great memories and a lot of yelling if I scrubbed those gears. Stay safe driver","replyToPid":136873}

{"replyTo":"","text":"OK, how does running your tanks down to empty cause fuel injectors to go bad???\nI'd love for someone to explain the reasoning here.\nBut... Before you do, I should probably tell you I'm an owner operator who does his  own work on truck, (so technically a mechanic as well), I only fill up when my tanks are empty, and I've been doing this for almost 30 years.\nLet me save you some time... Running your fuel tanks does not cause any problems with your injectors, unless you remove your fuel filters.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Nope... Not true. Sludge does not accumulate in the bottom of fuel tank, (unless it's intentionally put there), and you can't just suck it up into the engine.\nNor is it a safety thing... Diesel fuel is combustible not flammable, it does not explode for shits and giggles.\nThe amount in the bottom of a diesel fuel tank is not enough to set off the earth shattering KABOOM you have envisioned after introducing air to the fumes... Reason being... Air is already in the tank, tanks are vented. 2 reasons... 1, so the tank don't collapse as fuel is sucked out of it. 2, to prevent the rapid introduction of air thus causing the explosion some highly scientific drivers believe would happen.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Depends on the make and model of the truck and the terrain your going over. How heavy a load you have and what size are your fuel tanks? But I’d figure at least a easy 100 miles","replyToPid":0}
