That engine must be quite worn out. Befor I went to work for GM testing Detroit's for compliance with EPA emission standards, I saw them in Awry Bakery trucks. Back then they had an ether "pellet" to use on cold days. Later I saw Cummins 250's that had a can of ether mounted right on the engine for cold starts. I can tell you that if this was a normal starting 6/71 when I was testing, it would not be certified for sale. But, I am a purist at heart, that is not pollution, it's unburned Diesel fuel and maybe engine oil, not the same as a gasoline Hydro Carbon, Co or Nox emission at all. Most of it is particulate and it falls out of the air to the ground. I personally would keep using it if it clears up after it gets hot hot hot, and I'd use starting fluid and maybe even propane to get it up and running on cold days. But, that sound!!! Somewhere on youtube there are two trucks that someone recorded as they drove by, one is a 4 cycle and the other a Detroit 2 cycle. There is no comparison in sound, the 4 cycles sound like Helicopter flying by with it's chop chop chop, then comes the Detroit, M M M M M M M. It's really amazing when you hear them one after the other like in that video. I'll take the Detroit anytime and twice on Sunday over the 4 cycle chop chop chop, even if it did smoke. But, I tested them against a dyno for emission certification, so I have a special place for that sound in my heart. Thanks GM for allowing me to run your awesome prestigious Detroit's at the Milford Proving Ground Vehicle Emission Laboratory VEL, bldg. 31, it was a blast and I'll never forget it. ben/ michigan

I’m going to be honest, every time someone brings up the topic of living in a bus, I imagine a bus that’s all cramped and older. This is bus that I would totally live in! How much did it cost?

@BlondieSLАй бұрын
I have a couple of questions for you, if that's ok. First and most important, now that it's over 7 months from your video, how has this air bag jack held up? Is it still working? Do you use it a lot? Secondly, I've noticed in your video and other videos as well that the instructions state, "Skirt of the car" for lifting. I"m not sure what that even means. When I first heard it, I thought it meant that you can't use this to lift via the front of rear center frame jack points. Yet, in your vid and others, people do life by the center jack points, like you did with that truck near the end. And the RV even. So do you know what they mean by the "skirt"? I take that as the trim and panels, which would make that statement in the instructions a bad thing. What is your opinion on that? I ordered the 3 ton version of this, with the solid handle (not the adjustable handle). I hope that it comes quickly so that I can change out the winter tires, lifting at the rear center then front center. LOL
@LacroixCruiserАй бұрын
So far so good, I think they mean rocker panels
@BlondieSLАй бұрын
@@LacroixCruiser Well, it's all moot now! LOL I received the Jack. I was able to lift the rear by a center lift point. But for the front, videos show a lift point, dead center, just under the motor. But I couldn't see that same thing. There is an area that I SUSPECT might be ok to lift, but as I'm not a mechanic, I'm not sure. But it worked out anyway, because the frame goes around in sort of an arch, ending on each side, in the front, with a "chain loop" for towing. So I just lifted one side at a time putting the jack under the loop. No issues. I'm loving this jack. There is one thing that crossed my mind today, however. And that is, if there's a suggested way to store this to keep the rubber bellows from rotting. We all know that rubber can deteriorate in the environment. So I don't know if there is some sort of stuff to rub onto the rubber, or if I should just put the jack into a plastic back and evacuate the air from the bag. That should keep it safe... I think. LOL
