    Testing your Antifreeze/Coolant - Important Antifreeze Facts

    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.

    20# C02 tank

    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...

    injection pump going bad?

    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...

    More engine problems (Documentation of testing fuel system, failure of Hyd Head)

    Hey, quick question.... If your fuel filters stop up will it drive your EGT's up or down?

    injection pump going bad?

    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...

    injection pump going bad?

    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...

    Oil sample questions

    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.

    Fuel cutoff issue

    What does your kit cost and does it point you to the correct TM for replacement of these o-rings?
