I jus noticed ur list of rides, I've been ridin my 76 shovel since 81. Coarse thanks to gettin wrecked a few times, she's nowhere near stock or original. Went to 84" dual plug after the last, even sprung for Chris Cruz graphics...
Yea, that's why i've never been big on recommending extending the mfg recommended change intervals. Rarely does the analysis be kept up with it.
I recall a while back, the brown truck fleet for their tractors, tried out a system where they had a big luberfiner 750 size/style canister behind the...
As you no doubt know, if one is to run extended oil & filter change intervals, it is imperative to do oil analysis. Where as if one does regular change intervals, & jus changes the bypass filter every other change, engine life increases due to better filtering.
I still maintain that the turbo idi's were one of the best powerplants to be put into a 1 ton. They just got a bad rap due to being introduced at the wrong time, so to say. And many didn't know about the detuning that was done at the time, so easily fixable. Even the weak link, the e4od can...
A second remotely mounted spin on that filters much smaller microns. As opposed to a full-flow, it just takes a percentage of the flow out of the stream at a time to do it's filtering. As time goes on, it eventually gets all the oil & most importantly so much more of the carbon, soot &...
If I was gonna go that far, i'd jus sleeve for a 7.3 turbo engine. Build it right & maintain it right w/ the sca'a & synthetic erl after breakin, one wouldn't have anything to worry about. That's what I was gonna do... Make it reliable, long lasting & strong. An oil bypass filter will keep...
Those engines need to spin, trust your gut. & keep the charger hooked up while you're messin w/ it. Notice you didn't mention the glow plugs? Those are also needed for starting. Better check them if you haven't.
I'd kinda like to see the whole bundle go... 94 f-350 drove in w/ a bearing rap- truck still complete, was gonna pull it & roll a set of bearings in it to resell, jus don't have the time. too many other projects on the list. spare turbo idi & a bunch of spare parts go w/ it. Clean title. $1000...
With the ever increasing price of filters, sourcing a centrifuge is a fantastic idea. First step w/ any setup is a gravity settle for the h2o & heavy particles.
