My Truck

My 1991.5 Dodge Ram D250 with a Cummins Turbo Diesel engine is for sale! This truck has approximately 275,000 miles on it. During a recent top end rebuild (head gasket loosing coolant), the honing marks were still readily visible in all cylinders. That speaks worlds for using high quality lubricants.

Here is a run down of the AMSOIL products I have used in this truck:

15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Synthetic Oil (AME)

Series 2000 SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube (TGO)

Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)

Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease (all steering components, universal joints, Wheel Bearings) (GLC)

AMSOIL bypass filtration unit (BMK-11)

I also use the analytical services of Oil Analyzers, Inc. to monitor the condition of my lubricants. Here is a PDF of my most recent oil analysis.

Though the truck is 16 years old, it runs great. Here is a list of "enhancements" that have been made to the truck:

Bosch Power Wagon 185 Injectors

Fleetguard BHAF (Big Honkin Air Filter - it is about 3 times the size of the stock filter) with custom high flow inlet

Timing has been slightly advanced

3200 RPM governor spring in the fuel injection pump

PDR Modified HX35 Turbo with a non-wastegated 14 sq. cm exhaust housing

Upgraded 40-20-40 power seat from 94 Dodge Ram

I ran my truck on a dyno at Piers Diesel Research in Surrey, B.C.. She turned out 290 RWHP with over 700 ft-lb of torque.
