Grigg,
I was wondering about that too. Since I haven't run/driven it that much I don't know much about the motor and I certainly don't know much about the Hydro vac system. Hopefully someone can help. When I started it and ran it for a little while it seemed to smoke an awful lot. When I first had it delivered and finally got it running, it smoked because of the crap that was stashed in the exhaust pipe. Acorns were shooting out when I reved the engine and it smelled like firewood burning. It seemed to lessen the more I ran it. The truck was used on a farm in Sacramento and only has 20,000 miles on it. I guess the top end probably could use a rebuild. The other bad thing is that to take it to someone to repair I have to go down my brothers steep, 1/2 mile driveway with brakes I don't trust.
Looking for help.
