    //// Problem with new to me 1994 GMC Top Kick ////

    Change the fuel filters first...and if it still does it check for collapsed or spongy fuel lines. It's starving for fuel....and that will make an engine smoke (usually white smoke) and stumble badly. 3116's have unit injectors....so no injection or high pressure fuel pump, just a supply...

    Cargo Van Time for a high top

    If I was retiring the CargoMax....I'd either do the Transit thing or another GM cutaway with a narrow body on it like scottm4211. Moot's fuel economy numbers look good in his Transit...just dunno if I could get used to that overhang.

    Cargo Van What pallet loading system do you use/recommend?

    I like the idea of the powerdeck but didn't want the weight or the reduction in available load height. A nicely finished plywood floor means the skids slide or push in easy and I have a 30 foot tow strap to completely surround the front skid (I put the strap in with the first skid) and just use...

    After 30 years I also know oil color has almost zero indication of contamination. Oils in the last 10 or so years in diesels built in the last 20 years, turn dark from heat and oxidation long before soot is even a remote problem As far as your ROI statements and fleet managers goes, let me say...

    So your additive fixes worn out rings? Mechanically sound engines have a VERY low amount of combustion gasses getting past the rings...and almost no exhaust as the pressure has dropped considerably compared to combustion.

    Copper and Lead as wear metals are connecting rod or main bearings.....about as far away from the combustion chamber (and the effects of combustion changes from any additive) as you can get. If the combustion was so lousy and soot creating to create THAT much soot that it ACTUALLY creates enough...

    A drive by Mooting in Illinois.....be on the lookout and if you smell Lutefisk do not investigate...call the authorities.

    Driveshaft phasing: no one knows what it is.

    Or putting the slip yoke back together one or two splines off (if it has no master spline).....should be "good enough". Once knew a guy who spent a lot of money on new tires when all along the vibtation was an out of phase driveline.

    Best coolers?

    I have the 50 size Dometic (a design level or 2 behind Turtles)....they aren't cheap but, not having to fuss around with ice and draining water, never reaching in and pulling out waterlogged food, not having to do the smell test on food or dairy every time and, having cold but dry beverage...

    If Trump gets his wish....

    With all the free trade deals Mexico has with the rest of the world...they will still build cars there and need parts. If the loads OUT of Laredo disappear....then my rate TO Laredo just went waaay up. It will be like Denver or any other outbound expedite black hole.
