    Pley-as Halp!

    does sound like it's missing at idle, and definitly hazing even when hot (which is new) don't have a temp gun, but that's a solid idea.

    Pley-as Halp!

    so my truck has developed an issue. without warning the truck has started smoking excessively and the EGT's are trough the roof. The truck is extremely bogged down and sluggush. Where i used to cruise at 70mph at 650-700egt not i can barely manage 55 without a hill and my egts are flirting...

    check this fake moose

    Lol it's a really self defeating post. To but a pump built by mel's builder for about the cost of buying a nice standard(read not hi-p) rebuilt pump with no core issues might be worth it, but the guy is such a dick is his posts and answers i wouldn't trust him as far as i could throw him. What...

    Ok to run 15-50W?

    i have done two complete cycles of Auto RX and ran it in the mainenance dosage for a couple oil changes. My engine is hardly neglected thank you very much :P. It's not thati burn the synth faster than dino, just that it costs more to keep replacing it. It seems to go faster than the rotella but...

    Ok to run 15-50W?

    Interesting stuff Mr. RDSL as always you take on oil products is highly valued. I don't have any particulat love for rotella it's just a common oil that folks use and for the pour temp info i thought it was a good comparrison. I don't see much great about the JT-8 either. My true preference is...

    Thermostat part number?

    I hate stant and wish they would pull their heads out of their asses and find a new source for our thermo's i know not really related to what you are talking about with the IH part # but it's a thermostat thread so i must vent. I can't find a IH one here and i just installed my thrid stant...

    Ok to run 15-50W?

    A couple of notes. The oil in question is Mystik JT-8. I went looking for some infor on it and i figured it wasn't JP8 (jet fuel. . .diesel) the state sheet i found for it list it's pour point as -27f (15wt40) and -22 (15wt50) http://docs.mystiklubes.com/msds_pi/M20003.pdf Shell Rotella T...

    Turbo size question...

    Lag is something i wouldn't worry too much about. in a high revving gasser there is reason to worry, but with a beefy diesel spooling at ~1800 rpms will provide near instant boost. there could be a teeny tiny bit fo lag from a remote mount piping the air up to the intake but less than would be...

    Turbo size question...

    I'll share my thinking on this with you guys and use the feed back to see if I'm off my rocker or not... let's face it you probably are off your rocker lol First, heat.. A turbo mounted up in the traditional place puts a lot of heat under the hood, -up pipe, turbo body hot side, down pipe. I...

    Turbo size question...

    i agree, just saying. not much of a cost savings, but about the same HP. There always something to be said for a DIY build!

    Turbo size question...

    I think a well done remote mount would be just as good a the traditional turbo location. the traditional mounting still has a lot of exhaust pipe to bend up and over the engine so i don't think you are adding much if any pipe length. the trick is getting a good efficient intake to the turbo that...

    ZD9 WMO Fuel Heater

    i think it all depends on what kind of driving you do. i commute 35 minutes so running for 5 minutes or so until the engine heats up on dino diesel is a small price to pay for simplicity. plus i love having a heated tak cuz i will throw just about anything in there lol. right now i am burning a...

    Ok to run 15-50W?

    interesting, though i thought the main advantage of a synthetic was the increased viscosity at startup and that -17 pour isn't that much of an improvement.

    Hypermax Intercoolers

    ok one don't use the black one if you are doing it for better heat dissipation. That's not true and in fact would mean that it absorbs heat faster which is the opposite of what you want. Two if the black is anything other than anodized on then it is interfering with heat transfer and is less...

    ZD9 WMO Fuel Heater

    Alex, That's more or less what i do. Heat using engine heat and start and stop on dino-diesel or even some home brewed biodiesel (with a thineer of cold weather)
