How much do you actually drive your truck? If you cant afford the diesel fuel, buy a VW. At $400 a piece,approx, for each injector. Plus 8 hrs labor @ $100 an hour. Not taking into account possible reaming/replacement/coining of injector coppers if needed. I would stick to running fuel of good...

the bad parts is not being included in the "most" catagory. The home distillation of crude oil is a seldom practiced art for a reason.

check around the top side of the oil cooler/filter head. bolts get loose and starts a leak

Maccus and I have discussed this very thing. I have all the iron off of his 5-ton.

Use duct tape next time instead of rags.

You should spend a whole day finding the best deal on the most obscure off brand filter made in China or prehaps a floating barge off the coast of Sri Lanka. Hopefully they will use only the finest ground waterbuffalo dung as filter media. Or,stop by your local Cat dealer and get the right...
