Dieselfuture

I drink more beer I have sprayed what I could with oil and some places I smeared grease on. When I had door panels off I also sprayed oil in there, it seemed to slow down if not stop the corrosion on the door bottoms. I changed my water pump when I did my head gasket around 150k, to find out later that these water pumps go well over 300k. I put a gates in and kept the original one, thermostats do go bad occasionally. Best thing you can do is to keep the salt off of it, mud too, but that would mean it needs to be washed everyday at least around here. Not sure if washing it everyday is any better, having all that wet water on the unfinished parts.

If you use BIO no need to add any for lubricity, now adding 2cycle for antigel purpose may help some.

I was told by more than one source that all freeze plugs on the head are stainless steel, I do not know that for a fact. When I did my HG my machine shop told me they don't generally remove freeze plugs on these heads because sometimes they're not easy to sit back in. Not sure if corrosive coolant ca eat a whole through one of them. I think this may be same problem you got.

I don't use any if I'm running bio, sadly more and more stations sell it. Good and bad for both.

@Bighoss74 have you checked and done everything in this post

If you do it yourself and only the headlights, you can do it a lot cheaper. I did mine with d2s and it was more time consuming then anything. Now that I have them I wouldn't want anything else. I believe I got around $400 total in them with housings that dripley has. You can find deals when hey go on sale too. Buddy of mine got an older version of hids from retrosource for $150 and retrofitted his jeep, he already had clear lenses. Works just fine.

If you already using it, keep using it. That's a lot of miles on that thing, you're on borrowed time there. Of course if it's all hwy and you baby it all the time then not as big of a deal. I imagine bearings are getting worn and thicker oil helps. On gas engine these stabilizers help combustion, on a diesel ring design is different and they generally don't lose compression near as fast as gas. Usually scorched cylinder walls from foreign material damage it, like k&n filter. Then the ring is still tight but there are lines scratched in the wall so gas can escape. Gas rings are spring loaded towards the cylinder so with time they lose tension, where diesel as piston goes up compression forces the rings towards cylinder wall to seal better. Other than that stp or Lucas probably help older seals, has some additive to make rubber more pliable so it seals better. I've seen a car where transmission seal for torque convertor was leaking, he added some Lucas it helped for few months, then it was dumping out. When I took the tranny out that seal crumbled in my hands, looked like sand. Not sure what did that Lucas or whatever. It was a Toyota camry.

can I call I, yes because it hasn't reacted with any foreign materials. Or so I think...

This years snow been extremely slick, I've had more close calls this year then in the last 10

Good point, that's probably why I just did what I did and split the difference, I remember thinking about all these scenarios back when I put mine on. I guess I was thinking extreme towing in off road situation, I'm weird like that.

Make sense, I think when I did mine I had regular junk in the bed and when I got it sitting on the bottom out perch I had to stretch it a bit like 3/4 of an inch, so I think it's close to what you're saying. Also I wanted to split the difference a bit loaded vs wheels hanging away from the frame, I used a jack on the receiver hitch and lifted the truck. This way they don't get ripped off when rear end articulates. Not sure how much adjustments can be made on a prefabbed kit though. That's why I like the idea of having tops mounted and make a c channel for the bottom that just sits on the axle l, so if you're off road then worse case they separate from axle and not get ripped. If I may, you want it separate and not tied together because If it articulates too far then all air will travel to the other bag and help you flip over.

Like put weight in the back to get it to go down 1.5" from normal ride? Trying to picture all this

No probably about it, FACT

Did it come with longer bolts

I'd have to agree, if the truck sits outside all night at them temperatures, all fuel should be jailed up. I could see how it would be an aid while the truck is running. But if it's already running that warm fuel from the engine returning back should keep it from gelling either way. Then again it depends where it returns and how cold it is and how good of a fuel you have. Lots of ifs and buts. We've discussed this few times before and there were some other ideas that seemed promising, I'm sure that hater for fass would help, just depends on situation.

I made it fit as I didn't want it on my leaf springs because I have a gooseneck plate on the frame where they want you to mount it. There is a better way of doing but needs some fabbing. There is a guy on YouTube something welding, he builds custom beds for trucks, he had an idea on how to that I liked. Yes I believe they finally made a kit that fits in same place where I mounted mine, good call, forgot about that one. I like it where I got it directly under the frame and over the axle, nothing is in the way for the most part.

No problem, @IBMobile gets the credit, followed his foot steps. It's still a good idea to flush it once in a while even with the filter. Same for brake fluid and antifreeze, it all degrades over time.

This is my older post

I did, just don't over do it. It's a return, not a huge amount of pressure. Also buy an in line filter and put it in the return line.

It will keep the last tune and level downloaded

. So that would mean it's part of 5v loop system, anyone?

Yhea I'm a little slow sometimes, today was one of them days.

7vac? If the bolt is lose it'll vibrate thru like that

I'm using an s6 for $100 probably can find them cheaper now. It used to be my phone but camera was acting up so I got another used one, sadly camera is acting up again lol, I guess soon I may have a spear.
