  1. Those filters replace the OEM right?
  2. Want to install mine ....... Mine will pry leak. I'm a rookie. I guess I can just tap into the new hoses for the bypass fuel filter there for if it leaks I remove.
  3. So let me get this straight. If I get it from them... It comes with a good setup and filter. Just keep using same filter. Go to blackstone labs and have oil tested to see how good it's being filtered? See when I should change filter/oil for sure.
  4. Speaking of that... Anybody in the South Dakota area?
  5. Yes the reason I called it a partial is because not 100% of oil HAS to run through it to go back into engine. I believe I heard of Full bypass where 100% of oil HAS to run through filter before going back into engine. The reason for the cold weather description is they say right in it that cold weather cold slow or stop oil in tracks since filter is such a small Micro filter , that's why they leave the OEM intact.
  6. So you recommend getting a fuel gauge that is before the injector pump that measures the fuel PSI there right?
  7. For the rookie, what does RDP stand for?
  8. Alright guys need more help again with a different product. http://www.nucmotorsports.com/dodgeparts.html After ready description it sounds as having a partial bypass filter is better then a full bypass filter. Reason being is because cold oil will not go through bypass oil filter when cold but still will go through OEM filter. Please tell me good, bads... Heck between this and the fuel filter in line filter it sounds like both will save me money in the long run... Right??
  9. I would love that tuner/gauge. One problem. I still need my left arm for paying for diesel. I am thinking of just getting a stock gauge with a add fuel filter. http://www.glacierdieselpower.com/product.aspx?pf_id=MK27509-BLK . I love what Mike did more did his truck. But I do not feel comfy tearing my rig apart... Just in case I don't have the right tools, or run out of time, money ETC.
  10. This raises more questions. First you said fuel PSI then rail PSI. the differance is I can find gauges for Rail PSI but not for standar fuel PSI. I checked the H&S site and a no go for that? Help , or link ? Fuel pressure over 2 PSI is considered good at idle... Of coarse going down road should be more right?
  11. So does that mean your recommending getting the electric one at the rail? Cause personally I think that would be best cause then you can tell if you have issues right before injector. I guess if I want to have a over kill I could have two fuel gauges one that is at the rail and one that is at the OEM filter. I do like what you did with your fuel gauge setup. I'm just a little nervous about getting it back to gether. If you didn't live about 1500 miles from me I would be on a road trip with a case of ..... Pop.
  12. ISX, I would recommend to make a portion on the site for a suggestion box? Or a New topic that is sticky with " What do you want to learn today?"
  13. The only thing I was thinking about with getting this one it tells me right at the injectors what my PSI is so I know the issues are right there or not. Also which vendor to go with?
  14. I have been thinking about getting a gauge for fuel pressure, unsure where to mount at this point. But if I get this I should be able to see if fuel has gelled since the pressure will be low. How do I know how much fuel pressure do I need? ETC http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AUTOMETER-Z-SERIES-FUEL-RAIL-PRESSURE-GAUGE-DODGE-GM-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem43a08f8236QQitemZ290456568374QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
  15. Hey Guys... Suggesting... HowTo section under each engine like 6.7/3RD GEN/2ND GEN. This will either have video or pictures of how to do the more advance things. Changing fuel filter. Where parts are located. I got a 6.7 engine.. It's hard to find good information with more then enough information to make my head hurt.
  16. Thank you. I need to get a different fuel and oil filter. I heard of exhaust brake and do use it since it works fairly good actually. I won't mind doing the deletes but heard that running it hard like a diesel is suppose to be ran it will have no issues.
  17. Well I guess next question. How do you lube turbo, lube fuel pump ETC. or just get it out and runner? Any other basic maint for stock engine ? Besides change oil , fuel filter ETC. I am new so please point me to the right forum if answered about 400 times already:moon:. Just trying to learn what I can:smart:.
  18. Thank you both for your replies. I currently use a Fleetguard FS43258 fuel filter(5 Micro at 98.7 efficient). And I will be useing a Baldwin BT7349 Oil Filters for filters. I wont mind getting a filter bypass to get it down to 2 Micro with both oil and fuel filters but I don't have money right now. I guess it takes money to buy the truck in the first place.
  19. I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 6.7 cummins. Anybody recommend additives to protect engine and injectors.I heard sea foam, 2 cycle oil, diesel kleen. EVERYONE has something bad to say about it. I just rather spend more now to have less to do later in repairs.
