    wmo in a 2007 5.9

    Good info. I know I have run a very large amount of all the oil types I mentioned through my 7.3L DI Powersmoke and it was ok. But didn't want to ASSume the same for when I make the switch to a 5.9L. I was also a bit concerned about the synthetic fork oil. It was reaaaaallly light and thin...

    And yes, I am up north on occasion so I very well might take you up on that. Mainly maybe to just check out your system and process.

    wmo in a 2007 5.9

    Ok. thanks for the info. I only googled and found one site and centerfuge, so my question is, is there a good quality, affordable, and sized accordingly to be using for WMO? I have been filtering my WMO for my Ford for a couple years now but in anticipation for the 5.9 whenever it is I find...

    Can I use WMO on my 2007 3500 Dodge diesel

    So I am in the market for a newer dodge. Debating on the 05-07 5.9 or the 08/09 6.7L. My uses or intentions for the truck are commuting and towing mix. I would like to run 50/50 WMO/Diesel like I do on my powersmoke. I also intend using a superchips programmer. Which truck should I go with?

    ?'s RE: Block Heater on 6.9

    I'll have to check with him. But does anyone know the specs/req's that the heater takes? So he can just try to stay within it? I am sure he is using an extension cord but not sure any details about it.

    ?'s RE: Block Heater on 6.9

    Hello Knowledge gods! :hail A question came up from someone I know and he has a 1986 F-250 with a diesel. He states that when he plugs the engine blocker heater into an outlet, it trips the breaker. It is a 20 amp breaker. Any thoughts on why? Also, he wants to know how hard it is to...

    Cleaning out the IDI Monster Garage!

    I don't know which one I need. The rough dimensions here I can get in the dark are: 31'' Wide by 29'' Tall by 3'' deep. Found the leak and it may be repairable... I am going to get quotes on that also. So I may not need it but the quote may change my mind and make me do it myself

    Cleaning out the IDI Monster Garage!

    Do you have any radiators for a '88 7.3L? Not sure if I will need it but last night mine started leaking and was still leaking when I woke up this morning. Going to trace leak tonight but thought it might be wise to see what you have and price it out. thx

    Help, Truck won't start Anymore

    I think its the valve cover because when the truck is still warming up after starting. even if the gauge says its warm already. It takes a bit of driving about 5 min to start flopping to LOW. This would make sense as pressure/heat builds up and then starts leaking. Thinking out loud sorry.

    Help, Truck won't start Anymore

    Yeah I recall that now that you mention it. I'm afraid at this time that is not the core issue. I haven't checked them yet but after my lunch I have confirmed it is a leak. I am thinking passenger valve cover but not sure until I can get home and out of business clothes to be crawling on the...

    Help, Truck won't start Anymore

    I do have some other issues that I am hoping I can get some more simple solid advice. Last night I took it on 2 test drives when running. ONe short one a few blocks to ensure runs, that it smooths out, that battery and oil and temp all look normal. Then after that I took on 87 mile drive and...

    Help, Truck won't start Anymore

    The filter was probably close to empty when I installed it. I can't imagine it still being empty or have any air in it as I have been trying to start it for weeks and cranking quite a bit with no start. My friend told me to crank for about 30 ro 40 seconds and then let the starter cool for 2 to...

    Help, Truck won't start Anymore

    Answering from last to first question. It appears to be cranking at normal speed that it did when it was running from what memory serves me. I don't see any smoke from the tailpipe when in the cab but I'll see if a neighbor can tell me more accurately. I dont know if I disturbed the...
