Rotella T1 straight 40 , CF-2, is what I use in my 453N. I called O'reillys and had them order 2 cases (3 gallons in each)....took about a week to receive.Thanks for the pdf... I'm familiar with the Bus Nuts group, one of my best friends has bus fever the same way we have MV fever. I know, I don't understand it either, but they look at us like we're crazy the same way we look at them. He's coming with me on my HEMTT recovery just as I have gone along with him on a number of lengthy bus recoveries. Anyway, it's funny to hear some of those guys talk about the crap oil they use... WalMart oil, whatever they can find, not following the manuals, running 15w-40 like it doesn't matter. I guarantee you those are the same guys who then call the engines "green leakers" and say stuff like "If it isn't leaking, it's out of oil".
I read a quote on that Bus Nut site once, it said something about how they "buy run-down old buses with a million miles on them that blow out oil, and then conclude that 'all Detroits leak oil'. It's a fallacy. A Detroit in good condition DOES NOT LEAK."

Fantastic! Safe travels!Well, the EUC finally cleared and the HEMTT recovery trip will be next week! ...
If everything goes smoothly, that sounds like fun... I'd like to see your M932 conversion too. Jeff at WTF picking up my tires for me really helps free up the schedule!If you are coming through Phoenix and have time to stop, let us know. There are a few of us that would like to check out your HEMTT.
I'm striking out so far. I've tried Condon Skelly, J.C. Taylor, Hagerty, Gulfway, Geico, and I'm waiting to hear back from Chubb. Next on the list is AAA, then maybe a local commercial truck agent... I don't think I can qualify it as a farm vehicle.Who did you go through to get the beast insured? Farm Bureau handled mine in VA, they have my other farm vehicles as well!
You have a farm policy? ...The M931A2 i have is on a farm policy for about $78.00 a year with my other truck and equipment....I'm striking out so far. I've tried Condon Skelly, J.C. Taylor, Hagerty, Gulfway, Geico, and I'm waiting to hear back from Chubb. Next on the list is AAA, then maybe a local commercial truck agent... I don't think I can qualify it as a farm vehicle.
The reasons for denial have been, "We don't insure heavy trucks", or "It needs to be 30 years old to qualify", or "You need to have had a commercial license for at least 2 years."
I'd love to hear how other HEMTT owners have their trucks insured, but please PM me so we do not run afoul of the "no insurance threads" rule. Thanks!

Have you tried Continental Western Group @ (800) 235-2942. They insured my 99 CUCV II, for a great price per year.I'm striking out so far. I've tried Condon Skelly, J.C.
