Me either..... I put regular green in mine when I changed it. Ford diesils take the same gold or green coolant that they put in the gas cars and trucks.
A buddy of mine is volunteer fire and he bought one of the fiberglass air tanks that they wear on their backs when they retired a bunch. They have some big compressor that pumps it up to a couple thousand psi! He got a regulator with it and retrofitted it to a air fitting so he can use it to...
Thanks, I came across some one who had a couple, just wanted to know the sizes before I went and looked at them.
I found the info I was looking for after searching more, so I'll post it here in case someone else runs into the question

Alright got the turbo boost test run last night and my numbers are as follows
4th gear 2000-2200 rpm WOT 10-11psi 1150*-1170*F
I did see 12-13 psi in 3rd one time
5th gear 2000-2100 cruising 8psi 1150*F
5th gear 2000-2100 light accel 10psi 1200*-1220*F
Opps! I wish I would have checked this before I just ran the test. Hope 2500 rpm won't hurt the engine in neutral. Any way I got 4 psi in neutral at 2500 rpm. I'll have to check it tomarrow running down the road. does it matter what gear? I can make a pull like that in 3rd or 4th no problem but...
Yeah one in the front is dragging, I don't belive the rear are but I'm fixing to check it tonight or tomarrow depending on the rain.I 've been thru the rears already to fix axle seal leaks on 10/2012 before I started driving it. 2500rpm in neutral?
I don't have a boost guage installed, but I could temporarily install one for testing purposes. What gear, rpm, and throttle input are you looking for a reading for? In 5th I just can lean on the pedal a little with out sending the EGT over 1200*F, I can hear the turbo (C) and it's not getting...
No that's the whole story, I've had it going on 10 months, put 1500 miles on it running WMO/diesil mix. The only things I've done to it since Jan. other than drive it which I've done alot of is
1/2013
Install tool box
Install remote master cyl. res.
installed muffler
lubed wiper motors and...
Got around to checking the truck some during lunch. Drained about a 1/2 qt from each filter, all had some big pieces of trash floating around in it and a minute amout of water in the primary. I also jacked up the front axle to check for any rotation problems and found my left front I was barely...
I've not gotten around to installing a guage yet but I've run into a problem.
I've heard ya'll talk about fuel filters stopping up causing high EGT's and low power, so I think that might be what's happening. I've got really high EGT's, 1150*F in 4th! And it's taking forever to get to 45...
Thanks guys, I appreciate ya'll looking at it. It's the first time I've ever done any oil sampling. I'm going to replace the fuel shut off rod o-ring and the 2 HH o-rings just in case I've got a fuel leak. And then get the spin on kit to install when changing oil this time.
