    Anyone looking for a motorhome?

    " just under 28000 miles" then he goes on the say that he put new brakes on it. WTF, if it's only got 28k on it, why would it need brakes? Sounds more like 128k to me ;Really I notice no engine compartment pics. , no camper pics, and the guy wants ten grand for a 30 year old camper. What the...

    Electric Fan guys!

    I have my fan switch set to come on around 220 or so( actual comes on around 225 ), shuts off around 200-210. They rarely come on unless towing except when stopped in traffic. ( bear in mind, I run Evans coolant, so I can go a LOT higher on temps without issue. Min fan turn on temp...

    Care Package From Kano Labs

    I have... it simply doesnt get down in to SERIOUSLY rusted up fastners. Works better on loose fitting overltorqued fastners with a small amount of adhesion that dont want to let go , but fairly worthless on seriously rusted situation. That is the problem with most all supposed penetrating...

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    Gosh, I've always just LOVED those real important looking *tests* designed to make a certain oil look better than others, but they only test a very small number of things that are really not so important in a lubricant so the ones that they want to come out on top score high in those catagories...

    Fass fuel water sep. or the air dog water sep.

    Ive still got the rear tank, its what I normally use as my reserve, but the switchover valve got so froze up and clogged with crap , there was no clearing the blamed thing in those temps, even after being in teh shop for a few hours. Thats whats called seriously boned. . I had 10 gallons of...

    Fass fuel water sep. or the air dog water sep.

    It was about 15% or worse water and more crap and algae than you could shake a stick at ( and the tank had recently been thoroughly cleaned out off the truck, so it was ALL from that batch ).. I could possibly get by with burning that swill around here, but drop down to -20 and forget it no...

    Fass fuel water sep. or the air dog water sep.

    If your filter is clogged , then your injection pump is in the position of being in a vacuum as mentioned, Thats not a delivery issue, thats a restriction issue. If Im not horrible mistaken, thats what the sensor in the top of the filter head senses for is a vacuum in the line between the head...

    TECH 101 clutch MC/Slave bleeding procedure!

    Some of us may have the years of experience behind us, but unfortunately the old worn out bodies to go with it. These days my favourite chair has wheels on it. It's all I can do just to crawl UNDER a friggen truck any more . having to go caveman on parts to get them to go in while balanced on...

    TECH 101 clutch MC/Slave bleeding procedure!

    I tried a ratchet strap, ended up eating teh thing a few times I tried all kinds of things... After shaking a dead chicken over it while wearing a grass skirt didn't work, I gave up and bought a new slave cyl.

    Books Besides Haynes and Chiltons

    If you live in an area that had any kind of dealerships nearby, go checkout the reference section of your public library. After the dealers dont have to support models anymore, lots of them sell on ebay, but many of the more civilly aware ones donate their old service manuals to the nearby...

    Turbo Boost Gauge Install

    They generally are. if your gauge came with the plastic line, you might want to consider going to a parts store and picking up one of those copper oil pressure gauge line kits. Ive had that plastic line bust twice on me. .Easier to put it in right the first time. Or if yer rich, slap a chunk...

    Fass fuel water sep. or the air dog water sep.

    Little lesson in pump dynamics. THAT IS TOO MUCH FUEL FLOW . even though the pressure is reduced, if you are stuffing that much volume at a mechanical diesel pump, you will end up changing your output pressure and timing. You would have to install a bypass type fuel regulator that basically...

    OIL LEAK

    Go to the parts store and get a UV dye for oil, you will need 2 small bottles for an engine this size, then drop about 15 bucks for a cheap set of UV glasses and light set that they use for testing for ac leaks that most parts stores sell ( hint, if you are going to be working on a lot of stuff...

    Clutch question

    You say this happened right after installing the turbo... are you certain that you dont have an oil leak slobbering out from your feed line to the turbo, or from the drain to the valley pan dribbling over the back of the engine onto the clutch? CHeck the simple things before surgery. Even if you...

    TECH 101 clutch MC/Slave bleeding procedure!

    Personally, I like the *attach a Motive Bleeder to the clutch master cylinder , pump it up, open up the bleeder screw on the slave and watch all the air go by-by and be done with it* method... but then again, I'm inherently lazy LOL little for warning... THose are great instructions in the...

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    WOW, I havent see one that purdy in a LONG time. It will work great. You can mount it in a number of ways. Its short enough to mount upright , but you dont have to, it can be mounted on its side, only advantage to having it upright is you dont get an armful when you pop the cap at filter change...

    Fuel Mileage VS Timing

    at 8.5 when they changed the fuel to teh ULSD my mileage and power went in the toilet. Set it up to about 9.7 and picked up about 4+ mpg and the power went back to where it used to be at 8.5 on the old fuel. fuel mileage and power when related to timing are a double edged sword. you set the...

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    If those elements are the ones after they changed them to the drop in stacked compressed cotton disks , I'd install that sucker in a heartbeat. Youre running amsoil anyway, so you could run that bypass filter for an insanely long time. basically run it till it clogs up, there is no internal...

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    Delo would be a good choice . It works very well in older diesels and handles high heat well without burning off. While I am one of the worlds biggest fans of Amsoil ( been using and selling the stuff for over 35 years and have installed more bypass systems than most folks have probably ever...

    That car only weighs about 3000 lbs sopping wet and there are more of us than I con count who have towed those things behind other Volvos ( and yes, it's well within the tow limit on those things .. EU tow limit is around 5400, although it sure gets some looks LOL those critters have more...

    towing question...

    When we normally figure tow limits on these beasts, the 250 and 350 single wheel are pretty much even with duallys goingextra, but a f150??? you may have beefed up the tail end, but what about the front ? are the frame rails even the same? brakes size really comes to mind.

    Fass fuel water sep. or the air dog water sep.

    A FASS or Air Dog is a completely useless expensive paperweight for your engine. It is designed to remove air from electronic injection systems that trigger each injector 3-5 or more times each time the piston comes around and the smallest amount of air can lock the injector up and prevent it...
