    Rear Drums Heating

    Oil Leak? on Cold Start

    My 97 dually had been parked for several days while I was attending a class. Had been really cold during the day and in the teens at night.

    300 SDL Tranny

    Boost Issues............Maybe

    This may not be anything but thought I would ask just in case. Put a boost gauge on my 97 Powerstroke last week. Noticed when I really get into it the gauge flutters within about a three pound or so range when it hits about fifeteen pounds and continues until boost drops below that. The truck is...

    Anybody using or experimenting with water injection on their diesel? Been doing some reading and thinking about trying it on my 86 Mercedes SDL. Would like to talk to somebody using it before I start experimenting.
