    Coolant got topped off with RV Antifreeze???

    So.. one of my guys topped off my 8.3 Cummins with one gallon of RV Antifreeze instead of red elc coolant. The whole system is going to be drained flushed and refilled with proper coolant. My question is can I run it for one day before we drive it to the shop or is it risky? *Really* need...

    DT466e coolant in oil

    High hours DT466e coolant in oil. Diagnosis is a bad liner o-ring. Happened on a very cold day, the morning after using the block heater for the first time in years. Is there any chance that a bad block heater could cause this failure? Just curious. TIA.

    Exhaust Backpressure Valve/Tube?

    Thanks for the info everyone. I will definitely not be rigging the EBPV as a brake anytime soon!! Are the proper $800 exhaust brake kits with transcommand still harder on the E4OD? And are they hard to install?

    Just wondering WHY Glow Plugs/GPC go bad so fast?

    OK I think I am going to rig it up like you are talking about here, but with the Stancor (White Rogers) Relay. Will there be any way the stupid controller can still toast my GP's or will it be completely "bypassed"? Thanks everyone!

    Just wondering WHY Glow Plugs/GPC go bad so fast?

    Where would the fusible links be located, somewhere in the harness between the relay and GP's?

    Just wondering WHY Glow Plugs/GPC go bad so fast?

    For a manual switch: What are you guys using for a relay? Or just a really big switch with 10 AWG wire the whole way?? And what are you using for a fuse/breaker? Thanks!

    Just wondering WHY Glow Plugs/GPC go bad so fast?

    I've always used Motorcraft Beru Plugs, but this is an aftermarket controller "diesel rx" off ebay............ Don't remember what controller I had in there last time, Motorcraft I think. Anyone have an IH Part Number for the Controller? This is on a '94 7.3 IDI factory turbo

    Just wondering WHY Glow Plugs/GPC go bad so fast?

    I know there is a ton of GP info on here. I am just wondering WHY my plugs and controllers only last 1-1.5 years? I am running my second set of 8 brand new Beru plugs, new harness, new controller, the latest set of which I installed all at the same time (under 2 years ago) and they are already...

    Installed Detroit Truetrac..

    I already have a Detroit Truetrac in my rear diff and love it... Might be putting one in my front diff soon as well, I have a loud ting-ting-ting when rolling in 4x4, haven't pinpointed the noise yet. Where is the best place to purchase nowadays? How difficult is the install for a...
