Nice truck! I drove a 1988 LNT8000 for several years, with the Ford Diesel and a 9LL just like you've got. Steering problems are a sign of worn front end parts, which can easily happen in 100,000 miles, especially if they're "city" miles. The guy who did your alignment should have told you about whatever worn parts he found, and tell you that the alignment won't help the steering much when there's a bunch of worn parts. Maybe he thought that you wouldn't care since it's an old truck, but that's not a valid assumption in your case. She's got a lot of good miles left in her. The Ford 7.8 Diesels were made fun of when they first came out, but our fleet had good performance and reliability from them and we worked 'em hard.

Great vlog. Catch ya next time and stay safe my friend

Nice!

Thats a nice L8000. Wish I could find one in that shape

The way you feel about the traffic and all is pretty much how I feel about advertisements A lot of lengthy advertisements

There's a shifting trick to eliminating that "grind" when switching directions. Let the truck come to a complete stop before you move the shifter. That way the mainshaft in the tranny is completely stopped too. If you take it out of gear while the truck is still moving, the mainshaft freewheels and will take a while to stop unless you jam it into gear like you're doing. Give it a try.

What end up happening with the wondering wheel did it need a new gearbox or control arms

I have been looking at an old L8000 was wondering how she does on fuel? The one I am looking at has central hydraulics also, which I heard kills the mileage. Good videos!
