Is that mirror on the hood mainly used to see the blindsides? Some folks use foam shims. Are they any good?
@millsmotorvation7 ай бұрын
It is on the hood. I never used the shims, I had to replace the whole arm, because they wouldn't sell just the glass.
@chrisfisher76927 ай бұрын
But isn't that mirror used so you can see the blindspots? Ive almost been hit a bunch of times by big trucks that don't seem to be able tos ee me on the right side. I'm thinking its because of this mirror@@millsmotorvation

They must build these better than the Pinnacle.
@millsmotorvation Жыл бұрын
I purchased a pinnacle resently, as long as you have the over head ran they perform great. Most people never do that. The pinnacle had 455,000 miles on it, was asking for a regen every 300 miles. Had the over head ran, and it hasn't asked for a regen since.
@poseidon5003 Жыл бұрын
Good to see that they're more reliable then the Pinnacle.
@millsmotorvation Жыл бұрын
The Pinnacle has the same engine. It's probably a matter of maintenance. Check out my last video, I give information on things most people don't do to keep diesel engines running properly. Thanks for the views.

@millsmotorvation2 жыл бұрын
I basically used the stock manifolds, because there's no room in the Body to work with. Ran 2.5 stock pipe to a stock style Y, then ran it up to the engine bay. Those after market headers are price high. I just chose a turbo with a small exhaust housing, and it spools quickly!
