Just read the other day that a 2nd rail union has rejected the railroads offer of a up to a 24% wage increase over 5 years so their maybe a strike soon...
What I read was one thing the workers wanted that was not offered was few days off for family care and not be required to give 30 days notice to take time off...
Awesome!!! Just a few more days & your wait is over!
Manual says no breakin required for the Cummins. But it does say the first 500 miles of towing are suppose to be under 50mph. They don't specify if that is for gas or diesel though, and given they say the Cummins needs no breakin, it is a bit unclear, IMO.
It's basically for the diffs, the Cummins is ready for duty out of the box, and the harder they work the happier they are.
I think he is spot on here. If you want to make sure your rings break in good go back & forth between 45 & 60 mph hour for about 30 minutes. Then let the diff cool off completely & then do that a couple more times. This is probably not a have to but I like to do it for piece of mind. I also change my oil early on the first change. At least half of the recommended oil change. Again probably not needed but it gives me piece of mind.
After the first 500 miles if you want the engine to work hard either hook to a 3-5K trailer or put 1-2K in the bed then drive at Hwy speeds non stop for as long as you can, the longer the better, even if you can't do a weight pull long none stop drive empty is also good for it, JMHO...
Nope - agreement is off... apparently a 24% raise and 5G in bonuses wasn't enough...
One of the reason for a no vote was workers asked for a few days of personal time off, that was rejected by the railroad, so they told them to go pound sand an rejected their offer, so there is a good chance they will go on strike...Nope - agreement is off... apparently a 24% raise and 5G in bonuses wasn't enough...
Truck is still sitting in mexico for me. If that helps. Order mar 8 and built Aug 3. Much longer and that new ford powerstroke is looking pretty nice.
Also he is giving me 1000 off the truck when it isnt his fault but when asked chrysler what they are going to do for me they said to tell me to try and order the exact same truck and I'll pay thousands more now. Pretty much telling me to kick rocks. Again the ford's are looking pretty nice lol
