    Got a block heater? Use it - it makes a difference!

    .06 X 4.5 = .27 cents per hour so about 81 cents for 3 hours at that rate. Wind chill really not going to effect it other than getting down to your -5 temperature faster. Just saying

    headlights start flashing on there own!!

    Diesel rated motor oils never had the stuff taken out of it ,that STP is going to replace what is gone from gas engine oils. The motorcraft 15w-40 you bought is fine without that additve.

    Heres an example that would do everything your asking it to: the Isuzu 4JB1T http://www.diesel-engine.cn/ISUZU/4JB1T.htm Not exactly easy to find in the great old USA. The 4BT 3.9l is the one that gets used because it is available and has the power to satisfy . Yes suspension upgrades may...

    Blue Grass Fuel System

    Seems like an over priced filter set-up to me , but its likely complete.
