Over the Christmas break I drove my 1975 D200 Club Cab Cummins power from Calgary down to Salt Lake Vegas, LA, then back up the PCH #1 and 101 to see friends and family who live along the way. The cummins is amazing in the steep mountain grades as making as much as 20 psi boost on cruise control. Fuel economy ran between 18 and 22 on the US Gallon. No problems with the truck at all. The tune is perfect, no smoke at all and my 0-40 Mobile 1 oil did not discolor at all it’s still clean now and I’m home again. In Portland I met up for coffee with Farmer_01 Doug from the Diesel Truck Resource Forum.
As well on the road I ran into Desperado of the NW Bombers forum at a Flying J fuel station. Desperado noticed my truck and said, “Hay are you a Member of the North West Bombers Forum, are you from Canada, you guys just built that Cummins 75 I was following it on the forum”
Thanks for all your help guys.
