Yes it is! Since Pops passed I’ve cleaned up my diet and lost about 20 lbs. Still eating a lot but eating what our ancestors ate. Grass feed meats, wild fish, eggs, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. All high protein quality foods while trying to avoid processed foods. Having potatoes as a treat and avoiding breads. Breads turn to sugar. Once the weight comes off with proper nutrition there’s no need for a lot of the common meds we take that contribute to cancer.
I stop at Red Robin and order bacon alvacado cheeseburger with vegetables instead of fries. Set the bun aside and chow down : )
PS. Your truck looks good! Since you only have one drive axle is that a regular axle or heavy duty since the engine torque isn’t divided between two drives? Are heavy ring and pinions needed? I’m thinking of taking out my front driver and putting a tag axle in but Pittsburgh Power tuned my 485HP Cummins up. It made 385HP to the rear wheels when I arrived and 756HP when all done. Need a bigger radiator now! LoL I rarely put my foot in it though.![]()
That is a very nice looking D6D Juiceman.Is it a variable horsepower VHP.I'm assuming it is.Looks like a twin to the one I sit on.![]()
Oil Slick did you bump your head or are you taking advantage of the California legal Cannubus. Why would you take out dual drive and add tag axle.You are not saving that much weight.
Thanks for the compliments, I wish the D6D was mine!
Slick: I had to fight the folks at the factory; axle mfg. originally approved the specs with 23 or 26k single drive, then got gun shy when they found out I was getting a “Campaign” motor with slightly higher than the stock 2050#torque rating. Made me go to to some higher capacity drive axle. Considerably heavier. This truck is a tank compared to my others that only run 550 ISX Cummins.
You’re going thru a lot of effort to save 750# by the way; don’t think like some of your local gypo truckers by moving the rear axle to the front. Too lightweight, you’ll burn it up on flat ground. Running the hills conservatively, we only get 80,000 miles from a set of drives. On my CAT, only 45,000. The extra money made only helps with the tire bill....but worth the dirty looks when we pass the flatlanders.
Gary: yours is identical. I forgot to write the serial #. That’s a nice tractor you have.

Hey Gary....had to do another 911 move today; serial is 5X1072. I didn’t get to make any passes across the field. Operator told me it ran flawlessly with the chisel sunk in 28” with a heavy roller. I did notice the remnants of a light on the left side of the dash. “Increased horsepower” was the caption, so I’m guessing it’s a VHP machine.![]()
Nice looking Farm cats for sure!! Thanks for the pictures.
BP.
Dang Gee, with all of these "911" hauls you're doing, don't you think it's time to paint your rig RED?
