Re: Cat 3208 oil change Reply #3 – September 28, 2023, 05:55:41 pm Those photos bring back fond memories of my 1981 Foretravel. Great engine!Be sure to keep your radiator clean. It can easily get clogged up back there. Quote Selected

Re: Cat 3208 oil change Reply #5 – September 28, 2023, 07:12:53 pm Brings back some for me as well. Cut my teeth in a FT with a 3208 rear radiator. I would have kept the 280 longer if the ceiling had been 6 in taller and a walk thru bath. Still I had a big time with the old girl. Something about that first one causes a guy to be more forgiving.

Being the youngster Elliot is he won't even notice it, probably won't even need to stop for a drink of water. Quote Selected 3 Likes
