Dang, I'd love to have that for a farm truck.

Better hope you never have to buy Ford specific parts for that. Getting very hard to find.

No kidding! We have three L9000's with Prentice loaders left in our fleet and I am currently rolling them over to Western Stars. I spent $300 on a Jake Brake switch a couple years ago and it took a couple weeks to find one.

Yes, only Scania, Volvo and Iveco.

I have opened these maybe 4 times and truck is 14 years old, they are still original.

I sold a 2001 with all original Stratoflex lines and no issues for 17yrs. Some last the life of the truck others don’t. Just like Europeans, most are annoying, some aren’t. Personally I like PTFE lined braided stainless or Stratoflex.

Replaced all fuel line on w900 with new and reused fittings no issues. Steel braided rubber line.

Dad was having issues with his Pete filling one tank and not the other in return and overflowing so he re plumbed with synflex plastic line and installed ball valves. Not my first choice either.

Friend replumbed his 359 with plastic. Said he probably wouldn’t do it again. Had issues with fittings leaking and dealer said they always coat the threads with paste. Turns out that was pretty common if you remove the lines and reinstall.

I guess you need to check the bolts that hold the weights in a NEW cam gear when you take it out if the box. Click the image to open in full size.

Not happening again. 2 in the front were almost all the way out rubbing my chrome peanut cover and all 4 in the back were loose. Didn’t even mark the front side of the cover so I’m buying a lottery ticket.
