    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.

    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...

    Purchasing a scanner VS. a programmer

    I know this seems like a dumb comparison, but I was wondering how well the diagnostic code-reading features of an Edge Programmer work with a '97 PSD? Anywhere near as good as a scanner? I can't really purchase both. It might be neat to have a programmer, but maybe a scanner is a better...

    Bad Throttle Position Sensor?

    I recently replaced my CPS with a motorcraft blue CPS and it seems to have cured my stalling problem, but now I have a new problem: sometimes starting out from a stop in Forward or Reverse, the throttle pedal does not work and check engine light comes on.. THis continues for a few seconds, and...

    Stripped CPS Bolt Threads.............

    Changed my CPS for the first time, and the threads for the bolt that holds it in place are stripped bad. I was thinking of looking for an oversized thread cutting bolt, is this OK? Also, is it normal for there to be some engine oil on the sensor itself? Thanks!

    Mice gnawed my AEM filter...

    Running a fancy AEM Dryflow filter in my PSD. The mice got in there and took a few bites out of the element. Just a work truck, but still can't have holes in the air filter... I really need to build a wire mesh cage for it, but is there any way to patch up the small holes? Can't think of...

    Exhaust Backpressure Valve/Tube?

    Having some issues with the '97 PSD in my signature... It has been starting and running ok, not sure if it's just the cold weather or what. New to the PSD, I have done a lot of reading about the EBPV and still don't really get it. I have read that you don't really need the EBPV? Local...

    Annoying Turbo Noise

    I installed a Hypermax Cowl Intake about a month ago, but it wasn't until this week that I've noticed an unpleasant whine coming from my turbo- it is during acceleration and only in the power band. I can still hear the turbo spool like usual (barely) but this new noise is like a higher pitched...
