    Who says veg oil isn't a viable fuel?

    A friend of mine took up an engineering project at Boise State University. He along several other students took a P-Pumped 5.9 and stuffed in a tube steel racing chassis and wrapped it in a relatively stock bodied 1998 Chevy S10. They did this with very little funding and have gotten the...

    Ford explorer to Mit. 4d55t diesel?

    That maybe true.... I can tell you that it is a VE injection pump, so the tricks used in the VE pumped Cummins will work pretty much the same. That would be a 40HP bump as the 4d55 in factory trim was about 80HP. But like I said, the 62WHP was through a manual, I'd venture to say that an Auto...

    Ford explorer to Mit. 4d55t diesel?

    First off.. the engine will be older than the explorer. I'd check to make sure that it is cool to do if you have any emissions to deal with. Second, we have a guy that is part of our local diesel group that has the 4D55T in his Mitsu pickup. The thing is making 62HP to the wheels. and 101 ft...

    Oil Change on 2009 F-250 Diesel

    Ummm, I would go into the service department with that sales guy and ask him the same question in front of the service writers. When THEY get up off of the floor and catch their breath from laughing, you'll realize that particular salesman is an idiot. Most vehicle sales guys were selling...

    benz at :44 sec into the vid.....

    The limiter on on the W123 bodies is the MW pump for now. There is a guy here state side that has a Myna built M-Pump on his OM617.952 and it laid down an uncorrected 145WHP, but he REALLY needs a turbo because the smoke never cleared up. Here is his dyno sheet: The 118HP run was with the...

    Got a 6.0 today.

    If you are going to do any HP upgrades stay clear of the predator. More trucks have popped head gaskets with predator than just about anything else. Factory fuel pump is more than fine as long as you keep good filters in it. Use ONLY the fuel filter with the whit membrane around it in you...

    EGR cooler delete.

    Keeps exhaust gas from superheating the coolant and flash boiling it. One of th causes of coolant puking. Also, EGR coolers seem like to crackj thus causing loss of coolant.

    Trouble Starting (proably GP)

    Check the Glow plug relay fuse. Don't just look at it, pull it out. There are times it looks just fine, but when you pull it out, it comes out in two pieces.

    Bought an '84 Euro 300D Non-Turbo

    Because it's easy... that's all I could come up with... I'm sure distilled would be fine. I used distilled in my flush and my anti-freeze.

    I would not leave the citrus mix in over night... I did mine in about 16 hours..... You could drain, run the pure water rinse a couple times and then run the degreaser solution for a day or two... Then run a couple straight water flushes. Then make sure to do the baking soda flush to...
