Nv4500 oil
That because I provided product number and other information off my bucket. Like I learned today no manufacturer can place a API rating on a container unless it actually does meet the API rating. So like they explained to me what I see on the bucket label with the MT-1 and GL-4 it does MEET the API standard. May not exceed the standard but does have to meet the requirement for the GL-4 or any API rating to be placed on the label. So this is not a misprint in my photo Mobil does meet the GL-4 API standard. https://mopar1973man.com/storage/attachments/monthly_2017_07/DSCF4231.JPG.01d0fc29c90050aeb4ea931dd75678a4.JPG

Nv4500 oil
I'm back... I've done my own phone calls on the subject to Mobil... Truth, Mobil states product 103158 Mobil Synthetic Transmission Fluid 50 has API rating GL-4. They cannot mark a container with a specification that it does not meet because of legal issues and/or warranty issues. After discussing this matter with the tech I will have an email by later this evening stating that the product 103158 that I'm currently using is indeed carrying the API standard of GL-4. Yes, it's also MT-1 but meets both GL-4 and MT-1 API standards.

Yet another FASS ball & spring post
I never suggest stretching the spring way too hard to hit the mark. I highly suggest replacing the spring and check ball. Then if you need adjusting the pressure then use washers for shims on the spring.

Nv4500 shift cover
Should be able to trade covers. Just double check for bolt pattern and the shift forks layout the same.

Might have a RV spot either in Ontario or Parma just depends. Might just drive down from the house and skip the RV. Still not sure with all the dialysis running.

Need to get the thermostat in. Helps a bunch on getting the smoke to clean up with good cylinder temperatures.

Head gasket leaking oil
Ok. So it's 0*C but 32*F is zero for the sensor. Just replace the probe...

If you unplug the probe it should read zero. So just replace the probe.

Head gasket leaking oil
I just bump the start crack the supply line to the VP44 ensure there is fuel to the VP44. Then run 3 starter bumps because the AirDog 150 will push fuel through the entire VP44 pump by 3 bumps. That only leaves pumping the air from the lines. Like I said typically mine will start on its own in 15 seconds without cracking a line. Like here soon I'll be changing injectors again and it will be the same thing just start it up.

None... I don't have crack any line. Mine will typically fire up after about 15 seconds of cranking. 1,3,4 is typical. If the grid heater was in the road it would be 1,2,3 because the firing order is 1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4 as you see its every other line in the firing order. Since the grid heater is in the way everyone uses 1,3,4

A/C issues
Personally I would get a o-ring set and try that first. Typically I get them for $12 buck from NAPA takes maybe a full hour to pull all the o-rings out and recharge the system. Not hard at all. You also need the release tool from NAPA they are plastic collar set that you pull into the spring locks to release the lines. Typically a bit of twisting motion and they slide out. Video is set for the process of release and installing of the lines. Take notice I did it single handed...

Like with my Quadzilla I run slightly higher (71%) volumetric efficiency percentage from stock (63%). The volumetric setting calibrates your fuel consumption rate. Then I've got my ABS reprogrammed with @Chris O. CCD tool. But there is an offset setting in the vehicle editor setting for speedometer offset. This will calibrate your speed and distance. http://www.obdlink.com/

A/C issues
Grab a vacuum pump and manifold gauge set pull a slight vacuum on the system SLOWLY. Once you have about 5inHg vacuum your safe to open up without the risk of explosion. Ask me how I know??? Might not want to do that... So far I've taken mine to 3 different shop chasing my leak. No one could find it. I finally found mine being the front compressor seal failed and was slinging the UV dye before I could spot it. Now I've been leak free for 4 or 5 years now. Still ICE cold. (35-38* vent temps). I'm more than happy to guide you through this process. Personal note... I've got 2 A/C jobs to do in Riggins, ID by next Wednesday. I'm completely setup as a mobile service and been known to way into the back country and even rebuild an entire system on a 7.3 Ford diesel.

Heck you can get on the OBDLink LX or MX dongles and log it on your tablet or phone. The OBDLink App was just updated to include tire offset so you can get correct mileage records.

A/C issues
Typically UV dye and black light with turn up an answer. As for doing a o-ring kit typically its about $8 to $12 bucks for a o-ring rebuild. There is 2 pressure sensors low pressure on the accumulator and the high pressure on the discharge line near the compressor. All A/C system work I do, I will do a vacuum test before recharging. Any A/C system that has ZERO pressure I will not recharge till I remove the compressor, drain the oil, add the proper amount and the holds on a vacuum test. If it will not hold a vacuum I will go back to hunting o-rings or condenser possibly. I've changed 2 this year now that was damaged by a flying rock and the other from a minor accident that the plastic grill hit it.

Nv4500 oil
Funny I don't find it on ANY product... engine oil, axle gear lube... Only Meet or Exceeds... Here is some other products... Nowhere does it list RATED... I've looked through my entire shop and not found a single product with the terms "RATED" in the API specs. Everything I've got show Meets and Exceeds API specification...
