    Oil catch can, would it be better with a breather?

    check out the Racor CCV It's made for diesels and has an automatic return in the bottom to drain back oil to the crankcase when not pressurized ( you can braze a nipple to the oil dipstick tube)

    Trailer towing capacity??? Need help deciphering Ford's Hyperbole!

    Yeah, those figures are pretty laughable. Especially when you consider my crew cab with a Western Hauler bed weighs 8k empty LOL and that truck spent the first 200k miles of its life pulling a 3 car wedge for a car lot, and I regularly gross between 18-22+k and it does just fine ( that bed...

    Inquiry about fuel additives

    Not wanting to burst your bubble, but 175000km is only 108000 miles, which is just starting to get into normal pump changaover territory for OE pumps that were neglected. Better start saving up your money for a pump:D

    a/c clutch seize up?

    If your compressor is jamming up, you really MUST install at the very least a filter in the suction line before teh compressor, and should have one in the line between the condensor ad orifice tube as well. THis is on TOP of flushing he system or your new compressor is likely to fail before...

    anybody not using lube in the fuel?

    OK folks This has been hashed and re hashed. Sulfur is NOT a lubricant! period! end of discussion! Sulfur effects the burn rate of the fuel ( and in turn the higher rate of sulfur in the older fuel contributes to all kinds of nasty polution problems like acid rain etc ) but lubrication...

    Agree with me that this is a stuck injector.

    Trying to clean those injectors would basically be a waste. acting that bad about the only thing that would do any good would be about 4 cans of Diesel Purge, and quite honestly I really just sat back and put a pencil to that. I'm used to running that treatment on a set of Bosch Injectors on...

    ATS Air Cleaner doesn't fit!

    YUP, that looks like an injection shop made that up. Good ones have the goodies but they will generally leave out any extranious bends if they dont see an immidiate reason for it to be there. . Its kind of tricky getting all those tight bends in there.

    Simple exhaust for every day use

    I'm not talking about american truck exhaust parts, I'm talking about going to the nearest heavy truck parts supplier i.e. MAN , VOLVO Iveco, etc and getting loose exhaust pieces. THey will have just the raw pipe , pre formed bends and muffler where you can cut down and clamp together a full...

    Simple exhaust for every day use

    Shipping would be insane on something that heavy ( I get European car parts shipped the other way all the time ) Why don't you just find a heavy truck parts dealer and get some 4" pipe and fittings and a nice long straight through big truck muffler ( work out your bends with some old wire so...

    I need air...

    OK folks, want to know why VOVs blow out??? Its because they get installed on DIRTY AC systems that should have been flushed and had filters installed after a compressor failure , but instead get just poked in because some folks seem to think that the orifice tube IS a filter. It might have...
