Hello all,
I've got about 5k miles running the veggie. It's tough to tell because I start and end my trips on diesel. The veggie oil is heated by the engine cooling system. We tapped into the coolant lines and run the coolant through a loop in the bottom of the 60 gal oil tanks in the bed of the truck. Once the engine gets to operating temp (about 180 deg) I flip the switch and we're cruisin' on semi-free fuel! I tow a 2009 Cameo 37' 5th wheel ( 13-14k lbs) with no noticable loss of power. Aa I stated earlier, I'm new to diesel and veggie, but I can't really notice a difference between the two performance-wise. I haven't run it in winter or colder temps yet, so time will tell on that issue. We plan on heading south for the majority of the winter so I don't plan on finding out what happens to it in sub-zero temps! I'm retired Air Force so I have that freedom.

Thanks for the tips on the tranny filter. I'll make sure I don't throw out the magnet with the old filter. Any other tips?
