    1991 F350 Crew Cab Diesel Dually Build - Project Brownie...

    Nice truck! As far as wheel spacers I've only found studs that I felt I could run 1/2' spacers with on my dually. As far as tires rubbing together another problem with tires too close together is picking up a rock & it sticking between tires & rubbing out sidewalls in 2-3-4 miles. Been there...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Think BB's. Some folks run BB's, some run fuzzy target shot BB's, some run balance beads. @IDIBRONCO pretty well said it, & I love running them. As I understand things as you take off the beads spread out to the lighter side of the tire balancing the tire. Look up balancing chart. Usually...

    New insight in IDI burning WMO - need high compression or turbo

    Back in the 1960’s and early 1970’s I remember when we could go into a store that sold automotive stuff. Over in the oil section there was the different brands of oils. Then there would be a section of recycled/used oil sold about 2/3 the price of new oils. I bought a gallon once. It definitely...

    New insight in IDI burning WMO - need high compression or turbo

    When I had my centrifuge running and using it I always liked to have barrels of WMO setting & settling for 1-2-3 months if possible, especially in hot weather. Then I pumped approximately the top 3/4 barrel out and ran it thru the centrifuge. NEVER get all the total black out even if I ran it...

    New insight in IDI burning WMO - need high compression or turbo

    @Bart F-350 I have a centrifuge for my WMO, currently it is down. However with it I've always been worried about other unseen containments the centrifuge don't get out. On my '90 F350 & my '92 F250 I use WMO Mix in one tank, diesel in the other tank. I start on diesel, warm up or go 2-3 miles...

    New insight in IDI burning WMO - need high compression or turbo

    @Bart F-350 RUG means Regular Unleaded Gasoline. Over here some folks cut WMO with RUG different % depending on their rig or the weather. I have used it in the past early on when I first started running WMO or WVO back in 2003. For several years I just use WMO/Diesel mix to run on. And I think...

    What’s it worth?

    To clarify to @94turbocrewcab-lb, you are correct 093 @Nero. Factory was 093 & had FORD on the filter/breather lid like my '94 engine. ATS 093 was identical IIRC but had ATS on the same filter lid.
