RPM top out at 3600
3600 is where the pump defuels. 3600 is close to the redline on these engines. Diesel don’t spin up like a gasser. I have a 6.0PSD and it reeves to like 4200, but that is really hight for a diesel. Most diesels in larger trucks (medium and class 8) top out at like 26-2800. The 2022-ish...- snicklas

Soo what happened???
I’m not sure on your security warning, I didn’t receive that myself. But the redirect looks like the oilburners.net domain registration expired. Once it was renewed it seemed like it took a bit for everything to start working 100% again. I couldn’t get in Monday at all, yesterday was so slow...- snicklas

Fuel Filter Warning!!!
Not that I am aware of. There are a bunch of FASS / AirDog systems out there. You could probably use the same setup on the 6.0 you have on the 6.4… or at least very similar. I need to do something with mine… the showerhead is failing on mine and I run out at about 1/8 tank (about the same...- snicklas

Could use some help
The Excursions do hold their values. If it is near perfect shape with documented history, it may not be out of line. I have an 03 Excursion Eddie Bauer 4x4 6.0 that I’ve owned for 18 years, so I know most of it’s history. I was playing around the other day on the value sites (KBB, NADA, etc)...- snicklas

Anyone in the Indiana area ?
I am, but I’m in central Indiana… But like mentioned, most shops won’t touch them.. We have a really good diesel shop in town and they will not touch them. We have to do all our own work…- snicklas

2025 i.p. builder discussion
Yes, back in the day we had several members that tried stuff from them, and they got junk. Warranty replacements were just as bad or worse. They shared their stories on here, and the owner caught wind of it and threatened to start suing people because he didn’t like what was posted… he said it...- snicklas

2025 i.p. builder discussion
As far as I know, he hasn’t “left” the forum. That being said, he has not been on in a while. But he has been busy with the business. Just like when Mel took over Conestoga, he did not get on here much because the business took a most of his time. Justin is the same way, he does not post...- snicklas
