    Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot

    That makes sense. Heating the oil reduces its viscosity and allows the crud to come out of suspension more easily. I heated WMO with an repurposed dryer heater element. It worked good, but it may have been too hot. I found I reached a stage where every pass after the first few always had...

    Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot

    Interesting thought experiment. Obviously, the first pass is very effective. Subsequent passes have diminishing returns, but are still effective in removing crud. If you have the time/energy keep doing passes, IMHO.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I don't use RTV, just lube them up good.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Fired up the '86 truck for the first time in months. It was warm out, so I figured why not. It fires up better than my 7.3 PowerStrokes.

    idi vs di for wmo

    I have run a little ATF blended in with WMO, and had no problems. ATF and hydraulic oil are generally lighter than WMO, but WMO can really vary. It can range from gear oil to 0W20. Generally, the thinner it is, the less problems you'll have.

    idi vs di for wmo

    I run an extra 2 degrees of timing with my WMO cocktail. Your mileage may vary. :) WMO works best in a hot engine too. I find coking occurs when cruising lightly loaded.

    idi vs di for wmo

    Having put many thousand miles on my diesels, here is my 2 cents worth: The IDIs love WMO. You can even advance the timing a little to get more power & economy. The PowerStrokes with Single Shot injectors will tolerate WMO for a while, but will coke up eventually. Perhaps, if a guy had a...

    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    Figured I would clean the snow off the tonneau cover. Oh wait, I don't have a tonneau cover. :rolleyes:

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I jacked the rear end of the truck up until the back of the engine was perpendicular to the ground. The transmission slid in like a dream. This was done single handedly! Having the back of the truck way up gives more room underneath for working too.

    Super duty 7.3 in obs truck

    What injectors does the 2000 school bus engine have? I'm thinking it has the AD/AE injectors in it.

    Super duty 7.3 in obs truck

    I have good news, and bad news...It's doable, but there are many differences. This thread: https://www.oilburners.net/threads/project-1997-parts-truck.74824/ documents what I went thru when I put a 2003 PSD in my OBS.
