Well folks, Ill give you the short story, because dam, I could write a whole book on my weekend.
Friday I left from Edmonton AB with an 18 foot car trailer on my way up to Ft.Nelson BC (625 miles, 11 + hours away). I make it about a third of the way in the evening, and stop the night. Truck was pulling strong, lots of hills and trailer wasnt a problem for the truck. Saturday morning, I get up early and drive from 9am to 3pm straight. The only stop was for fuel. I then proceded to pick up my cargo (04 subaru WRX) and carry on my merry way. I get outta town, truck still pulling strong, can barely feel the car and trailer back there. I was able to cruise at 110 KPH without any problems, there was a couple hills that made the truck slow down. 115 KMs later, I notice the oil pressure guage dropping fast, then the oil light came on. So I pulled over, poped the hood, check the oil, everything is good, except for the fact the truck wont turn over. The crank is solid.
By this point, Im 10 hours away from home, no truck, dead cell battery, and a whole lot of no luck.
Needless to say, Ill skip the details of the tows. But now Im left without a truck for a couple weeks. Time to source out another motor. Lucky for me I had a rebuild motor installed last year, and my luck (which i have very little of) I still have warrenty. So hopefully everything goes good and my Dodgy will be back on the road.
Otherwise, the V-10 is getting ripped out along with the wiring, and anything else to do with that dam gas motor, and swap in a oil burner.
