What’s that tank behind the drivers exhaust pipe? That extra fuel for your trailer?


Call me crazy, but when guys catch on, you’ll all have one. That’s my piss tank... no more jugs for me. Petcock on the bottom, nobody ever has to know.

Why not just a funnel to a hose straight out the bottom? Why store in a tank?

Gets all over while you're driving. Better to drain at the fuel island.

I really like this truck. Color, paint scheme, and all.

My dad has one but with the big aerodyne bunk. I prefer the lower bunk like yours.

I’m just wondering why he left it on the truck. I guess some people like doing 80% of a job. Oh wait he did think it was a good idea to put an N14 in that truck so we go back to his horrible decision making skills.

The money he wasted on that glider connect sensor BS to use that turd of an engine would have paid for a lot of cool chit. Lmao

Reefer guys wear sweatpants to help soak up the urine, it’s part of the uniform like flip flops and a giant headset.

How much you chop off the battery box to fit the pipe?

When you pull the cover off those long step boxes you will notice one of the ends is just for looks. Like on the battery box the front panel is real but the back one is just for looks because there is another one about 8” forward that the actual battery pan is attached to. I just removed the extra end panel and cut the cover to fit and had stainless steps made. Which is why I used those exhaust elbows. I would have had to order new step boxes to use the curved KW pipes.

It’s hard to see the extra end. Since these were the polished boxes I had to move the polished end to replace the painted end they had inside. Click the image to open in full size.

On a 2000 500hp 6nz with 340b Jake's what would be the optimal lash setting? On the Jacobs PDF download I'm pretty sure it's .035" +/- .003" peterbilt says .033" +/- .003" and I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere else listed at .037" +/- .003".

Last time a mechanic touched my truck he did it the lazy man way and set them at 30 just like the exhaust valves and I could coast up an off ramp loaded and flip the switch on and off and you couldn't feel it, just made noise. I opened them up to 36 and it seemed to be an improvement. I'm going to run through the overhead this weekend and am just curious where to set them. It'd be nice to have a little more jaking power. I did go through and rebuilt them a little over a year ago so mechanically they should be good

I like .035 like an Acert. More lash means a stronger brake to a point because it can’t open the valve as far. I can almost double my trucks jake power by holding a hat out the window.

I know a bridge engine with 340d jakes is .030 but if it has 340e jakesit calls for .040. If you set a 340e at .030 you may as well have no jake at all. But .040 makes it where it should be. The jake housings look identical, but there obviously is a difference

He forgot a lot of things like power, performance and fuel economy. But she’s chocked full of mediocre.

I think of my dad every time someone mentions a diesel truck with no power. He grew up with a 366 chevy hauling grain. He would think he was in a race car if he drove ricks truck. I wish I could be that content with horsepower.

Same here except at the time that was the best there was. My dad and uncle mention that a lot but at the same time he said a local hill they used to hit the bottom at 65 and top at 25 @80,000 they can now do at 65 and 75+ @ 120,000.

He had a 250 Cummins then a 238 and 318 Detroit and when they got the 350 Cummins they thought they had something. He said they didn’t think you could do worse than the 318 until they had a V903 Cummins.
