    Cali Emissions? It gets worse...

    Is completely false. Its perfectly fine to wash out a DPF and DOC with a pressure washer. The "warning" you saw was actually just "legalese" to prevent monkeys that don't know what they're doing from damaging the DPF/DOC. You know, the kind of people that would put a pressure washer nozzle 2"...

    fresh air intake mod.

    Google "BHAF". http://filterminder.com/ OEM gauges are calibrated to the specific application. You must use a gauge that has markings to measure actual restriction. FYI, not being a small minded smartass to people that are trying to help you will get you a MUCH better response next...

    fresh air intake mod.

    That gauge is worthless, it has no markings. Red line could be anything between 6-40 In-H20. Thats a full 1.25psi difference which is huge when measuring air filter restriction. Even a properly CFM matched brand new air filter will have some restriction at it's rated flow. Scoops are going...

    Mechanical fan vs. electric conversion....real numbers to compare

    The only real benefit to an electric fan is engine responsiveness. For trucks, especially semis, that doesn't matter.

    Cali Emissions? It gets worse...

    My bus fleet has both active (MY2008) and passive (MY2006) systems. The passive systems plug with high idle time (winter) but take 45 minutes to remove the DPF, power wash the filter and get back on the road. Haven't had one crack from normal use (only a few failed when a turbo or engine...

    GM 6.5 TD or Ford 7.3 TD

    I'm more wondering why people are even considering the 6.5 at all. GM made the worst diesels on earth until they collaborated with Isuzu to make the Duramax, and even that took a few generations to actually get "right". DD's two-strokes are the exception to the GM rule.

    Injection pump trouble 240D

    There is no such thing. Flame speed depends on a huge number of factors such as air temperature, injection pressure, injection type (direct/indirect/port injection, number of nozzle holes), cylinder pressure, atomization quality, combustion chamber shape, moisture, EGR percentage, pilot...

    Injection pump trouble 240D

    That is only your opinion. Since you are neither a professional or a chemist, your opinion holds no actual value beyond dots on the screen. lol, cute.

    Injection pump trouble 240D

    It doesn't. You are ignorant of how an engine should properly operate, you have no frame of reference.

    Injection pump trouble 240D

    This isn't a free country and this thread on a public forum isn't open? Well, crap, sorry, my mistake! Feel free to not read any more posts to this thread. Anyone else following up on this thread in the future will be able to learn from a professional about how destructive and foolish your...

    Are these transmissions kind of slow?

    Never use ANY additives in any lubrication fluids of your vehicle. The only exception is with diesel fuel in cases of fungi/algae contamination or extreme cold (below -5*f). Anything with "leak stop" on the bottle will cause damage. The transmission should shift quickly and firmly at...

    Turbo 240D?

    That is false information. The only common parts shared between turbo and non-turbo 617's are the oil filter assembly and valve cover. Everything else... block, cylinder head, crank, rods, pistons, prechambers, injectors, oil pump, cam, valves, oil pans, cooling system, transmission, vacuum...

    Injection pump trouble 240D

    Stop running trash through your injection system. WMO, especially diesel oil, is fine for plain bearings in an engine but the soot is highly abrasive to injection pump elements and injectors. That is ash from engine oil contaminating your fuel. FYI, engine oil is designed to not burn! Thats...

    Cali Emissions? It gets worse...

    Its great. Old engines produce 90% of the pollution. Something has to be done to either make them run cleaner or force them off the road. I, for example, am NOT required to meet these new emissions laws driving a light-duty vehicle outside of Kalifornia. I already tune my engine to run very...

    Air and Fuel system questions

    Yes. Thats why if there is any air leak (vacuum pump diaphragm, throttle shaft, cracked/broken hose) the engine can run out of control.

    Any thoughts on the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

    So a 4x4 SUV doesn't fit your needs, but a 4x4 SUV does. cookoo

    Can I use WMO on my 2007 3500 Dodge diesel

    ATF has no way into the combustion chamber.

    Water/ Meth injection

    HP, yes. Up to 15hp safely. MPG, absolutely not. The economy increase is false, you are just substituting one fuel (Diesel) for another (Methanol). http://mercedesforum.com/forum/diesel-performance-49/water-injection-49176/ For a mostly stock car without an intercooler, 3gph is max and should...

    Air and Fuel system questions

    Read about it here: http://mercedesforum.com/forum/diesel-performance-49/injection-pump-fuel-adjustment-mw-m-pumps-pyrometer-install-46097/ The first butterfly is the emergency stop. The second is the throttle. The injection pump is completely controlled by the throttle flap and intake...

    Any thoughts on the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

    Get a real Mercedes (ML320 CDI), not a cheap Chrysler heap with the engine hacked into it. Chrysler and Jeep don't know how to work on it and Mercedes won't work on it.

    wmo in a 6.5?

    It can't be used in any vehicle. Its horrible on the environment.

    Can I use WMO on my 2007 3500 Dodge diesel

    It can't be used in ANY amount without engine damage and increased emissions.

    New owner of a 95 E300 Diesel - lots of questions

    -1 for $chumans. Henry and his cronies are ignorant and childish. SuperTurboDiesel is a far better alternative.
