1980 was the year, I think. I was a young lad. Helping out at a place called Ruan by Iron House Gym. My job was to help change tires and brakes. I got paid by mechanics, not Ruan. I also helped with alignments on trucks. Fast forward to 2025. I still remember how I did it, and now I'm aligning a truck...mine. It's going into place perfectly so far. Not too bad for not doing this for 45 years. Gosh, Grandma was so right. She looked at me, said it went by like... snapped her fingers. Wow.. it really does.

Weekly inspections are an ongoing necessity for me. The road can be harsh on older trucks, so there is always something that requires attention, whether it's a repair, adjustment, or replacement. It's become an all-consuming passion. The process is reminiscent of a Nascar pit stop. As soon as we begin discussing and examining the vehicle, the air tools are engaged, wrenches are employed, and spare parts are utilized to ensure that all critical tasks are completed. Although the process is never truly finished, the essential work is accomplished. I've even had to shed a few pounds (85) so far to keep up with the demands of this routine.

A week with of seals in my truck, including the differential's outer seal and steering gear's outer seal. Fortunately, I addressed these issues and identified other potential issues and corrected them. Ive tried week after week differnt injector settings. A known and popular setting for a cat 3406e is 5232. I set that last week and understand why as as long as i kept my speeds lower and kept from smashing the accellerator I got good milage. The truck though is out of time. I have a timing probe on the way. The factory injector setting just sucked.
