Bought a new truck 93 N/a Dually

[Devon Harley]

Hey guys so I did the check list last night zero blow by not a puff timming is not bad sounds nice not rattle. I've seen better oil before so it got changed right away 1995 motorcraft oil filter and some Rotella. Filled tranny and one quart of bars tranny stop leak seal conditioner and drove 75 miles and its still running good. Valve cover gaskets need changed. small leak from fuel/water sep. Puttin new fuel filter on today and filling with atf to clean her out. Runs very well Sraight as an arrow SMOOTH AS GLASS NEVER ROAD IN A DUALLY THIS SMOOTH IN MY LIFE. anyways should I change to oil in 500 miles to be safe an make sure its clean? As for the tranny only acts up if its floored from a stop bearly let off an it sifts freeway stomp an down shift and goes great just when you let off to fast it has a problem if you drive it like a daily its great no problems. Any thoughts? its an e40d. Has 104,700 on the clock. Trucks really clean and May be the FIND OF THE YEAR I THINK idk if I will ever find a deal like this at THAT PRICE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hayden trans cooler???? are they good????

 

[FORDF250HDXLT]

yeah.one like this for example:

iv got one about that size,and i had to install a t-stat in front of it,because it was over cooling the trans except for 3-4 months out of the year here in Maine.
once the converter locks,she really doesn't crank up much for heat,unlike the old c6's.
at the test port:
150 min operating temp.
175 perfect temp.
200 max temp.
remember those basics,and you'll be fine with 30k mile flush intervals.
your supposed to flush every 15-20k miles when towing.but that's ford general rule of thumb for those without temp gauges is all.it's not necessary if you keep 'em cool.
here's the one i put in mine:

depending on how you use your truck,and your avg outside temps,that may be too much like it is for me,or it could be hopelessly too small.

I bought a tru cool stacked plate with external bypass for a 40,000-45,000 GVWR......... if you have an external bypass then get the biggest cooler that will fit (if using tube and fin type)...... or a reasonably sized stacked plate cooler.

 

[Devon Harley]

I bought one and its just a lil bigger probley 3 or 4 in thats it. Is that enough?

Hey guys i've got major fuel smell of un burnt fuel from exhuast dipped the tank. it's full of red dye diesel. I know it doesn't hurt anything but is that where the smell is comin from. its getting 15MPG

 

[justinray]

My experience with red diesel is that other than it being red its no different. That wouldn't cause that smell. And depending on your setup, 15 mpg isnt very good either.

Its a dually with 4:10's I didn't think it was to badd why what's yours getting? I thought that too but here in cali if u get pulled over for ur truck havin any smoke they dip ur tank an it's like 1,000 dollar fine.
